Hey y'all! Billy from MN 🛶

🛰️ I'm a data scientist who fell into remote sensing. I apply open source & ML on all manners of imagery across the ag supply chain.

⛰️ When not processing pixels, I absolutely love nature. Hiking, biking, all the -ings. West is best and dreaming of making it out there.
Booked and ready to go to my first @cloudnativegeo.org conference! Also, Utah has to be my favorite state - the nature is unparalleled. Just outside St. George 🤙

Let's connect if you're heading out next week!

Is there a better way to put "where your fear is, is where your task is also"?

Any recs on best open lidar datasets to play with that also align with business outcomes? See it's an often listed skill

Just watched AlphaGo doc on YouTube. Strange combo of melancholy and thrill but for the human player not with AlphaGo...

Only about a third the way thru but it's goooooood.

Around 1:18:00 love this. Paraphrase: "Imagine you're not talking to a magical AI. Actually, it's a statical simulation replicating a human labeler - a highly skilled and knowledgeable labeler."

Bloody river plagues Buenos Aires

Sentinel 2 got a shot the day a dry canal turned red, flowing out into the ocean.

BBC reports residents think it's from a tannery.

It's alarming.

Used Copernicus Hub.
