<p>My boss-boss asked me to do a presentation on a topic I actively research for quite a while now.<p>Scheduled a quick call to align me on what he expects - normally he wouldn't do that but he has attached a big agenda written by Claude what the presentation could show, and invited two other product colleagues of mine.<p>I came to a Miro board of the Claude Agenda, put into Miro using the MCP.<p>Honestly, just tiring. Asked my colleagues if they would just put the Claude agenda into Miro with Claude, what they need me for when an AI could just narrate it.</p>

<p>Somebody should throw molotov cocktails at the contributors of CommonCrawl[1], for they have "stolen" from "the people". /s obv.<p>It never ceases to amaze me how people affirm the concept of intellectual property, enforced by states, while maintaining "exceptions" that are fundamentally incompatible with the very concept of what they are upholding.<p>Disney (big corp!) copies a small artist's work? The law shall strike them down!<p>A small artists uses some symbol of Disney, which claims copyright infringement? So mean! They are abusing the law!<p>Maybe the discontent people feel with AI companies is a more fundamental one: Corporations compete to cut costs and increase profits. You cannot outperform other corporations on the long-term by sourcing cheaper materials; the cost-cutting is mainly targeted towards the human labour; the commodity of human labour bears a cost, but you can also command them to perform more work, increasing the "performance"; so companies naturally want high-output employees that cost as little as possible, to compete and exist on the market.<p>AI companies now claim to be developing a product which can replace cognitive human labour on a massive scale; companies find the advent of hiring less humans that perform more work very advantageous, skyrocketing the expected returns of said AI companies. Capital flows en masse into these companies because they may be integrated into the value chain of virtually all companies.<p>This calculation is the ruling concept of the entire "free world". To exist in said world you must prove some utility to this societal process of turning money into more money, in some way or the other.<p>Many people that managed to score a "good" job, cognitive work, now feel threatened by the AI companies that are poised to develop models that enables their employers to fire them/reduce their salary.<p>Your material life (housing, food) depend on jobs, which only exist as a cost factor in the profit calculation of your employer. All research and development serves this principle, to recoup the spent funds.<p>When Andreessen claimed that "software will eat the world", he said that software companies will replace many/most other industries like manufacturing, real estate, taxi drivers.<p>Many HN'ers bought into the hype, loved "Big Data", millions started university degrees in something with "Data". They may have dreamed of that FAANG salary, six figures, live in SF, home office etc.<p>The entire promise of that silicon valley hype cycle was that they will be putting millions of people out of work, casting their daily work into inherently superior software applications, and gaining a advantage over all other competitors by "harnessing data". That did not work too well, see Zillow, now the tech industry eat's itself: The transformer will think for you, and therefore you must hire fewer thinkers.<p>If you refuse to criticize or even acknowledge that your job, that many people cling to, is only a product of competition that inherently produces winners and losers.<p>If you don't find that bad in any way shape or form, if you only complain about ending up with the losers (the permanent undercaste), I'll say: "No crying in the casino."<p>[1] <a href="https://commoncrawl.org/" rel="nofollow">https://commoncrawl.org/</a></p>

<p>I love GeoJSON :) You can bring any Geo/GIS from 0 to visualization by just parsing it into GeoJSON.<p>geojson.io is a great editor/viewer by Mapbox. Also <a href="https://kepler.gl/demo" rel="nofollow">https://kepler.gl/demo</a> is great for additional filtering, visualizations like heatmaps, arcs etc.<p>A extension to GeoJSON that works with JSONL-like semantics would be great for huge files, but this could also be solved by tiling.</p>

<p>fyi: modern vehicles are required to have a e(mergency)Call function (UNECE UN-R 144), therefore all of these cars have a modem with a unique IMEI (that is typically bound to a VIN), therefore you can track the movements of every car pretty precisely.<p>Disabling the eCall is not possible, and doing so (in the EU) would void your car's registration.</p>
