Congrats to “Rage Against the Archive” (Anshul Roy), the SIGGRAPH 2024 Art Gallery winner, an experimental browser-based video critically probing how the NYPL’s website catalogs and displays dehumanizing ethnographic photos from the 19th-century colonial-era publications @nypl

Taxis apps in BLR must make a local Hotspot mandatory. Don’t have data while visiting India to use the QR code payment system, and had to pay my remaining 100 INR and 2 dollar bills that my driver happily agreed to , in lieu of a 240 Rupees fare.

A future of tech-bros on nutropic medications while depending on GPT is crazy.

I've been really enjoying editing code by voice: using @cursor_ai for IDE @superwhisper for transcription. It's so fast! Hit cmd-k, say what I want, boom. Faster than typing it myself. The prompts can get quite detailed too, voice makes it fast enough

We collaborated with the European Space Agency to open-source the largest ever earth observation dataset: Major TOM Core! About half of the entire planet is covered. That's 2,245,886 patches of 1068 x 1068 pixels. At 10m resolution, we've got 256 million square km with over 2.5 trillion pixels. More datasets from different satellites are in preparation and anyone can join this collaborative effort thanks to their organization on Hugging Face: huggingface.co/Major-TOM. Quoting @mikonvergence @esa: “democratizing Earth Observation model development and deployment with transparent, reproducible, and traceable tools - starts with the data!” You can explore the data here huggingface.co/spaces/Major-… & access the dataset here: huggingface.co/datasets/Majo…
