It should've stopped there :D

It would be useful to see some discussion of sampling regularity, e.g., whether some of these methods can be used with unevenly spaced time series. I work with satellite image time series, and clouds mean my usually-weekly series can sometimes be missing points for months. We often employ interpolation, but that can be a major source of error.

Interesting ideas. If you do some subsequent post on this, it would be great to see how the perf benefits scale with different sizes of AoIs.

Is anyone using this in a team? How is the perf?

Back in the day? What are people using now instead?

> I really wish we had an interoperability protocol that allowed me to combine the data sets locked in each app

There already are some established ones, e.g., https://www.ogc.org/standard/wfs/

It's widely used in the GIS field, but unfortunately not adopted by the most popular consumer apps.

Slight correction to something in the vid: The Capella satellites are X-band radar (microwave), not x-ray.

Thanks! And, done :-)

Looks great! I would love to see a violin plot example.

Good question! it's the average. https://mars.nasa.gov/mgs/faqs/faq_sci.html

Welcome to GIS :D

Seriously, it's a domain with huge under-the-surface complexity (no pun intended)[1], and most of the early efforts were spent in dealing with the maths and science, rather than software engineering. Things are getting better though.

There is/was something close to prompt injection with Alexa and other smart speakers - https://www.theregister.com/2022/03/03/amazon_alexa_speaker_...

Beginning to think that MS Teams was actually developed as a surreptitious way of encouraging the workforce back to the office.

Great, that is good to know! Perhaps a little about this on the site could be helpful for others.

Marco, you're probably going to want to rethink your branding. It sounds like you're associated SQLite officially, when AFAIK this isn't the case (?)

The code is open source, but the name is a registered trademark. Similar issue here: https://github.com/vapor/sqlite-kit/issues/47

Haha, okay, yes :-)

    Me: How many characters are in the string "sdfyskkgagag"?

    ChatGPT: The string "sdfyskkgagag" has 14 characters.

    Me: That is incorrect, please try again

    ChatGPT: I apologize for the mistake. The string "sdfyskkgagag" has 12 characters.

To me, that sounds like it has some understanding. Fallible and weird, but it's there.

Looks like a nice article, but can't read it on my phone because zoom is disabled and i can't read the text in the images :-(

> The trouble here is that now we have two opposing anecdotes.

Actually, i was agreeing with the GP, so it's at least 2 v 1 ;-)

> That's a serious exaggeration.

It really isn't. I did all that as a kid and still get hopelessly lost. Source: Experienced hiker, backpacker and mountain runner, over several continents.

Yes, my cliché detector kicked in hard when I wrote it :-)

So what they are worried about is an entity that does the following:

1. Quietly patent sexy new algorithm

2. Release CC0 implementation of algorithm without mentioning they hold a patent.

3. ? (sue for infringement)

4. Profit

Anyone that tried this should be laughed out of court. If they're not, the law needs an overhaul.

My favourite moment of corporate dystopia was during my first job after finishing my undergrad...

December 18th, they asked us to put up a Christmas tree.

To ensure an efficient return after the Christmas break, they made us take the tree down on December 23rd. :-)

Thanks for your response. I have no affiliation, it just piqued my interest.

> I must also admit, that I like my simple approach of just keeping data in compressed local files. With fast SSDs it is super easy to scale and fault tolerant. Nodes can just `rsync` data to keep up to date.

I also like this approach :-)

Interesting. Have you come across TileDB before?
