In a few days Flight Simulator 2024 is out You might think it's just another video game In reality it's the latest in a 40y+ series pushing the boundaries of graphics & mapping Let me tell you the Story of how Microsoft accidentally made the best map -> youtu.be/JIQxJWoKcPs

Some really cool pictures from my talk at the @OvertureMaps Members Summit last week Finally time to update my profile picture, since the last once is from *checks notes* 2017 I've had long hair for long enough that the profile pic should show this

I'll also be talking about what we're building at Fused with @TBabb02 later today, join the LinkedIn Live linkedin.com/events/7449267…

We're letting you run anything in Python and call it from a Slack bot in 2 clicks I built a Slack bot that tells me if I'll be late at my Google Calendar meetings, all from Slack, all without me having to deal with deploying anything, all built in @Fused_io If you're interested, drop your name in the comments and we'll give you a preview access 💻

It's still a pain to just open a file in S3 So we made it simpler

@blockchainlenny We're pretty good at running a lot of data at once :) docs.fused.io/guide/working-…

@MaxLenormand how does fused handle such huge hex datasets in real-time? super cool viz. just followed - let's connect!🙃🤝

Day25, hex: Realtime streaming of ALL the McDonalds, Dunkin & Starbucks 15min drive time reach across the US, joined with population & income This is not sped up, this is real time We've processed all locations for those 3 chains, calculated how many people & their median income is covered within a 15min drive time of each And then we can stream all that data in the browser at a dynamic hex resolution The team at @Fused_io is building some very cool stuff, especially around huge hex amounts of data Best time to show it is for #30DayMapChallenge

@CJHandmer Is it online somewhere? We can bring it into hexagons and tile it on the fly! Send it over, I'd love to try it out :)

The complete image size is 2949120 x 1474560. This thing has more pixels *per row* than a respectable cell phone camera image has *total*. With a bit of hacking and finagling I have constructed the entire .vrt file, warped it to the appropriate datum, and begun construction of the 14 layer tile quad tree. When that is done (weeks, months?) I will gzip it and inflict it on you all.

Don't take my word for it, play with it yourself: fused.io/canvas/fc_3I2o…

Register: meetup.com/pydatanyc/even…

We're hosting a @pydatanyc Meetup tonight in NYC for a hands on intro to @Fused_io I'll be there with @Sina_Kashuk Bring a laptop, come hang out to code & have pizza together! When: Tonight, Friday 14th Nov, 6pm Where: CUNY Grad Center

This came up again in my notifications somehow 6+ years later, I'm pretty proud of this CV I wouldn't do it again like this I think, but when I was just a student the main thing was trying to stand out and get people's attention, because let's be real I didn't have *that* much to offer as a student I did *not* end up working in the aerospace engineering, especially not as a mechanical engineer.

Wow this was 6+ years ago Well, I can tell you this CV got people's attention back in the day Not everyone liked it, but it's fine I was mostly excited to work with the people who thought it was cool anyways Funnily enough, I ended up interning at @SatelligenceEO after @arjenvrielink decided to take a shot on me, and working on satellite images. No crewed capsules in those satellites

@MaxLenormand Hey max, could you please help me with the internship or job.

Hi Twitter! I'm looking for a 4 to 6 months internship starting around mid-August. I'm interested in #Aerospace #Engineering, #MachineLearning and #IA, or even better all combined! Fluent in EN & FR. RT highly appreciated! 🚀 (Oh, and I drew that rocket by the way).

This required quite a bit of work to: 1. Find the correct data, AI is awesome at helping do that these days. 2. Validating that this is *actually* data I want / need. @Fused_io makes opening & manipulating files on the fly a whole lot easier 3. Cleaning up data to only keep borders 4. Running that on all the available archive. Using fused.submit() means I can run whatever code I have in Fused in parallel in a few lines of code 5. Making a map that dynamically renders a specific year. Load all the data in the frontend & filtering only a given with DuckDB WASM all in real time. AI is also so helpful at figuring this out for me

There's a whole Wikipedia page on this, look it up

I've always been in awe of what the Dutch have done to the Netherlands over the centuries, so for Day 3 of #30dayMapChallenge here's a timeline of the borders of the Netherlands from 1812 to 1997. You can see the total amount of land goes up over time! Especially post WW2 when the Dutch closed off a whole section of the sea and add just created entire new regions, because why not. Data from NLGis, processed & visualised in Fused The Dutch have a saying "God created the world, but the Dutch created the Netherlands" So many incredible civil engineering projects have been built over the centuries to reclaim land from the sea in this part of the world

And because this is Fused you can see the Canvas for yourself and check out how I did the whole thing: unstable.fused.io/canvas/fc_4sU1… Or just check the map: unstable.udf.ai/fsh_7ZJYtUFueq…

#30DayMapChallenge Day 2, Lines: All direct flights from AMS Schiphol Airport out Schiphol is one of my favourite airports, I wanted to see if I could quickly find & visualize this data Main surprise from this was realising these is no Amsterdam - Australia or New Zealand direct flights! All of this made in @Fused_io , from getting the data, joining, to making the map, since we now have Canvas it's honestly really fun to just put all this together, ask AI to join datasets, do some sanity checks and learn about how to visualise data with the help of AI!

@_jsolly I'm no dad yet but so ready to be called a battledad I'll make battledad jokes

Grok and ChatGPT together gave the best take on what a ‘battledad’ is. We should have more ability to search with multiple different models and then combine the summaries together. For example, Grok picked up on the term ‘sweaty’ which is very important to the discussion, whereas ChatGPT went into more details on what ‘omnimovement’ actually is. grok.com/share/bGVnYWN5… chatgpt.com/s/t_69073da153…

We're going live on LinkedIn in a couple of hours with @IsaacBrodsky to show what we've been building at @Fused_io
