My August earnings dropped to about 2/3rds of July's earnings. This seems to be a common trend amongst technical writers.

Some of my older technical pieces drop significantly. One was consistently making over $50 every month. Bearly scrapped $10 last month.

Doesn't seem worth keeping these behind the paywall anymore.

Got to present some early work at #PIERS2023 in the beautiful city of Prague.

This work provides a link between the data and interpretations of segmentation models. We hope it will also provide insight into which indices can be used to automate annotations for future models.

Read about the dangers of gender recognition software, inadequate medical models, and the amplification of transphobic content. As workers in tech, you have the power to push back against these trends.

All medium partnership funds from this article will be donated to TGEU. Thank you to
@towardsdatascience for all the feedback.

@hue congrats 🎉 is it in remote sensing?
@hue so you got into a program? 😁

@ohagolle @jgomezdans

Thank you Oliver, that's really helpful!

The stuck mirror on Landsat 7 is also interesting. I guess there will be a 10 year period where data is questionable (ie. until lansat 8 was launched in 2013).

@jgomezdans @lavergnetho Great, I will look into this

@jgomezdans I'm using Landsat level-2 which I believe has been corrected for atmospheric effects.

I wasn't aware of the QA layers. These are so useful! I think the _stac.json file will help with the first problem.

@lavergnetho I'm trying to do it using only code. I want to be able to apply it to any location with minimal manual work.

I'm using this python package to access the data: https://github.com/yannforget/landsatxplore

It is based on the ESGS M2M API: https://m2m.cr.usgs.gov/api/docs/json/

It allows you to access landsat 5,7,8 and 9 data using Python.

@Ruth_Mottram Thanks Ruth! Do you know which satellite? I'm using data from landsat 5, 7, 8 and 9.
