The balance during the first two years felt amazing. I was so energized by the first days that I spent the second days revisiting to a ton of makers I’d met the first day to talk more. And I still didn’t see everything.

This year my friends and I felt it swayed a bit far to sponsored booths. There were fewer cool experiences (like the mini-golf) and I’d seen everything in one day. We wondered if the cool booths got denied in favor of ones that could pay more.

We still had great conversations and met incredible people, but felt we had to work harder to find it.

That said.. I think William’s team has been in a deficit each year and he said in his OpenSauce+ video how he is trying to be more sustainable.. I still remember buying the $69.69 early early bird ticket on the way out of 2023 for 2024 just to help them cover existing costs.

I really hope they figure it out. It’s such a great environment and has a great team behind it

That was a fun mobile challenge! I just exported my Google Maps Timeline, used ChatGPT to convert it to a CSV of points, and then made a heatmap with Kepler’s grid layer.. I had to tweak the color breaks a bit or else it only highlighted my home and (old) office

CARTO is more focused on backend pipelines and large-scale data (where everything needs to be tiled before it can be visualized), while Kepler is a great last-mile visualization tool. It probably makes more sense for enterprises that scale beyond what Kepler can do.

That said, credit where it’s due - their engineering team is a super active contributor to the deck.gl framework powering kepler.gl.

Pretty incredible result having followed along on MattKC Byte’s YouTube channel for a couple of years. Their GitHub projects have become a great resource for software preservation projects.

This tool says it includes a workflow GUI and refinement tools, like creating work-specific text recognition models - maybe the others do too? tesseract isn’t packaged with a GUI, but is wrapped by many.

This project seems focused on making tools more accessible and helping the user be more efficient and organized

Can this detect if you’re left your garage door open for a while and notify me?

Joby posted an overview of how to fly their aircraft in MSFS 2024! I’m an engineer at Joby and was lucky enough to be part of the project. If you’d like help setting up your control mappings, let me know!

Super fun. Loved the rubbery sound design.

I’d want to watch the CEO host a speed run stream.

They've had huge pushes to add EVs to their network, which is great but this means it’s an increasingly likely for someone to get stuck. I’d include these instructions in their in-app safety center if I were them…

Every Uber I take in a Tesla would practically need an airline safety briefing for this. There’s no way I’d find it on my own.
