Really neat! I made one a few years ago too, it still is online (but not updated) https://melkael.github.io/

There is a newsletter (not mine) doing exactly this

And no, neither google earth or bing or apple have detailed enough picture quality to identify anything.

Google is involved in the project. This almost certainly uses google earth’s data

I had pcbs made. For the ar glasses I had a working v0.0.01 (working on a small microprocessor and low battery, with bulky cables but it could run a production ready screen nicely)

Edit: I’m talking about the screen because the hardest part was probably to source it and then interface with it (my screen was 720p and like 1-2inches large which is of course not your standard part).

Also I have to add my background in electronics is being the average arduino tinkerer, having an ambitious project in domains I know better helps finishing stuff too

I’ve started a lot of ambitious DIY projects that I then abandoned (AR glasses, beaglebone based cellphone, etc).

My (still unfinished) PhD thesis is my longest project so far and its teaching me how to keep grinding. I feel like having a deep motivation and some structure helps for me (although a very tenuous one as I started during lockdown so my PhD time was mostly remote work so far).

Being autonomous motivates me to do things, but having people you have to explain your stuff to helps to keep working when its hard.

The instructions recommend to print with ABS. Any reason for not going for PETG or PLA ?

Your app broke my Back Button on iOs (safari)

Why could any of those countries not make the same argument, saying all other countries + the US pollute a lot more than them therefore thats not really their business ?

To Genie users, what is your workflow ? I love Julia for scientific computing but the compilation time is a bit of an issue. I would imagine I would need to compile a lot more when doing web dev. How do you work around this ?

If there is a solution to this, Genie would be awesome as I could directly put into production my Julia models without using a third party language.

I think you could simply make a big switch on a pcb yourself: make your circuit on the pcb and have two exposed metal pads as the terminals of your switch. Then have another metal plate, put some springs in between for separation. When the person sits, the metal plate closes the circuit, which acts as a switch

Why not lay everything on a pcb and have the factory solder boards for you ? Jlcpcb can do this. I believe pcbway can do that too. Your product will also look a lot more neater. I would also suggest to add a video of your product in action. I believe it is about jumping on your chair to play the game but it is unclear to me.

Anyone from Paris ? I’d be glad to take part to sessions

My personal website. Had lots of fun building it two years ago. I should migrate it to vanilla js and polish the newer informations (research activities) when I have time.

Made one a few times ago, it was a lot of fun to do. Not really up to date but still fun. Shameless plug : https://elkael.com

I'm currently working on mathematical programming applied to telecommunication networks (using queueing theory models) and the more I learn the more I find those things fascinating
