To be honest, I'm quite frustrated to not have yet received a honorary Dutch citizenship for all the time I've spent making their damned coordinate transformation work. If that's too demanding, just a honorary citizenship of the municapility of Amersfoort will do

Shoutout to @mapterhorn for those nice terrain tiles. Hill shading looks really nice in the #MOTIS UI!

I hope, we'll have this soon on @transitous 😎

idea regarding #code #review:
intentionally adding #bugs into #code to check if the #reviewer discovers them.
if the reviewer does not find them, then their #review is questionable.
of course the added bugs should be removed before merging ;-)

I am wondering if a concept like this already exists ...

OpenAI admits AI hallucinations are mathematically inevitable, not just engineering flaws

In a landmark study, OpenAI researchers reveal that large language models will always produce plausible but false outputs, even with perfect data, due to fundamental statistical and computational limits.

Can your current spatial SQL engine ST_💩()? We didn't think so!

As part of our ongoing attempt to innovate on spatial SQL in Apache Sedona, this we're proposing emoji shorthands for most functions which (1) improve expressiveness, (2) helps more SQL fit on one line and (3) reduces the number of bytes required for large SQL queries. #gischat

Nuxt 2d ago

today, we're announcing a new direction for nuxt.

given the rise of ai, we no longer believe there's a purpose for javascript frameworks, as anyone can easily code their own.

👉 instead, we're going to be focusing on releasing 'framework prompts' you can use to create your own framework.
