"Symmetry is what this kind of mapping aims for: not mapping in a way such that the map is symmetrical to the world, but in a way that the map is symmetrical to what humans know about the world." #gischat #eochat #AugmentedReality #geodata worldbuilder.substack.com/p/the-fractal-…

@ffaebi One of my favorite spots for a good rum is Manuel's in Zürich

Alkohol, die Geheimzutat einer Gesellschaft

@ffaebi Man my Swiss flat only even has copper wire and Salt insisted I use a 5g box

Ich bin auf einer Karibikinsel und habe Glasfaser-Internet.

@SimonHoiberg It's a weird time in life. So incredibly temporary to have the kids be this young (mine too). I am incredibly happy my kids get to spend this time born and growing up in Switzerland even if it's not for the long term (but I plan to make it so). They will know this as home.

The only sad part about it: I'm 38, and I'm genuinly worried this is peak time of my life. Will it go downhill from here? x.com/SimonHoiberg/s…

The happiest time of my life is right now! Family, 3 small kids, being back in Switzerland. If you don't have kids yet, the best is yet to come, trust me!

@TensorTemplar @lukas_m_ziegler @microagi Do you have outdoor/map data level work as well or is it mainly indoor scene understanding? Very curious to follow your journey and hope to cross paths in the Zürich area

@lukas_m_ziegler @microagi Lots of our internal work will also be fully open over the coming months. Too many players are stuck in US frontier lab mindsets and stopped publishing - we are too early as a field and the problem space is too large to leave the bazaar in an attempt to build cathedrals.

JUST IN: microagi is opening its Global Robotics Research HQ on Bahnhofstrasse in Zürich, and choosing it over San Francisco. Eight months ago @microagi was five people in a Munich hacker house. Today they operate in 15+ countries. The reasoning behind Zürich is compelling: → Highest density of robotics talent in the world, ETH Zürich, EPFL, University of Zürich, IBM Research, Google, NVIDIA, Meta, Apple and Microsoft all run serious ML and robotics teams here → ABB, one of the most important industrial automation companies on earth, is headquartered in the city itself → Within a 6-hour radius: German automotive, Italian manufacturing, French aerospace, Benelux logistics and Swiss machine tools But the line that stuck with me most: "Europe was late to consumer internet. Europe was late to cloud. Europe was late to the foundation-model wave. But Europe is not late to robotics." That is exactly right. The industrial base that physical AI sits on top of has been in Europe for 150 years. Precision mechanics. Machine-tool culture. Safety-critical engineering. Automation-grade manufacturing. The next decade of AI value will be created where bits meet atoms. And Europe is finally in the right position at the right moment. microagi gets it. And they're planting their flag right in the heart of it. 🇨🇭🇪🇺 @bercankilic, @YoanIlievX, @ZenoInMotion, @notgiannei LFG! 🔥 ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news → ziegler.substack.com

@ffaebi @balintszy @Tesla +1 to geo beer I am in Goldau and surrounds!

@ffaebi @balintszy @Tesla I rented electric in LA a few years ago and had to charge before returning to the airport and during the final hours before the flight absolutely could not find a charger on Google Maps, was crazy. I stopped at 3 search results and nothing. Do people use the Tesla nav for POIs?

@jeremy_olive_ DM me. I might have something that helps you document this a bit

Kept it going at Meadowlane I love doing market research

@ffaebi @balintszy @Tesla What are the most popular charging station map apps? Or just whatever is built into Tesla? Curious to talk to somebody who builds them

@balintszy @Tesla 👁️👁️

Maps feature in @RailService app is pretty cool

📢 Big news for geospatial devs: Places Insights data is now available for 36 new countries, including Argentina, Bahrain, Egypt, Hong Kong, Ireland, Philippines, Singapore, and more. 🌍 Learn which areas are included ➡️ goo.gle/4vIRNn5 🌐 And request access to sample data ➡️ goo.gle/4vCSWfF

Wild times at the Goldau Tierpark last week. A very cool wildlife park with alpine animals like these mufflon!

RF-DETR is the best open-source choice if you work with aerial or satellite images in this specific project, RF-DETR Medium outperformed YOLO26 fine-tuned on the same dataset by 12 mAP in object detection, that is a huge gap link: github.com/roboflow/rf-de…

When GPS Fails, Visual Positioning Systems Will Not. In a new blog, Hugh Hayden, Head of Business Development, shares how Niantic Spatial’s VPS 2.0 (Visual Positioning System) provides reliable positioning continuity across indoor, outdoor, and GPS-denied environments.

Does anyone have favorite examples on the web of heat maps made with Mapbox or Maplibre? #foss4g #foss4gj #mapbox #maplibre #gis

@BPBartholomew Wow, what's the map engine for this? Very cool UX

@paulabartabajo_ Is that fine tuned for satellite and aerial? Vs like street view?

Advice for AI engineers 💡 You don't need a trillion-parameter model to change the world. A fine-tuned VLM like LFM2-VL + satellite imagery is enough. 10 real-world problems you can solve today 🧵↓
