    @ElleGray Seems like the kind of thing Tom Hanks or Keanu Reeves would say. They seem like good blokes.

    You get to make one change to any single genus of animal that’s immediately applied to all of its members worldwide.

    People who have loud work-related conversations in the office restroom are the worst. Or any conversations really. Do women do this or is this a purely male phenomenon?

    Again I'm calling with #PayPal and the suckers keep saying this is totally normal :flan_laugh:

    Getting locked out your account is part of te process now

    Another guy just told me it was my fault because I was using the PayPal iOS app and that should only be done for "checking real quick" not daily use :nkoFacepalm2:

    "You should use the browser'"

    I discovered my limits today. I’m a reasonably good skier and experienced mountaineer, but ’s East Wall routes proved too much for me today. It was humbling, but, in the end, I think a mature decision to back off and walk back down. I am a good enough skier but the risk/reward value for this was just too high.

    Trivia time!

    #opcOnThisDay in 2018, we spent the day exploring southern #Arizona, locating a bunch of these concrete foundations we had stumbled on via satellite view.

    Any guesses as to what they are, and why there are so many of them scattered around?

    @scott @jbh @j258853 @Mollarom @mattsroadtrip Like I said, ground control points. We use automated ground control points now (highway intersections, runways, anything easily localized), but back in the day aircraft and satellite photogrammetry used big stuff like this.

    Missing Person's case, someone last seen in Blythe, California but her vehicle found in Cibola -- out in the middle o the desert hung up on a large boulder. Someone elsewhere suggested I should pull up the satellite photos... Went missing February 28th. https://www.azfamily.com/2024/03/19/arizona-california-authorities-search-missing-woman-after-bizarre-disappearance/

    @ai6yr @JohnFisher What you’re describing is Change Detection and it’s incredibly hard for all those reasons: pixel alignment, weather, lighting changes, seasonality, look angles, etc. What we in the business worry about is persistent change detection (something big was there and now isn’t or vice versa). It’s easy enough with big things like roads or lakes, possible with buildings, but smaller than that is in the noise.

    c_dan4th,
    @c_dan4th@mstdn.social avatar

    @ai6yr @JohnFisher A bit more on this (I used to work in this field), it’s something that machine learning actually can make easier; classify images into different kinds of landcover, building footprints, roads, etc. Then it’s easier (or maybe “easier”) to tell when the labels for an area change rather than the actual pixels. Again, you need a lot of very good quality data to do it right, like at least five shots before and after any change you want to detect.

    @bud_t @ai6yr as long as they’re doing the parade on paved streets they’ll be fine. This is the time of year I have to give up trail running and mountain bikes for their hard surface equivalents. 🤨
