I did an experiment a few weeks back as a bit of a litmus test for a new data format my team and I have been working on. I fed the spec documentation into ChatGPT and asked it to write a file reader for it. It spat out a mostly-correct implementation almost immediately, and with some extra coaxing managed to fix the small bugs in it too.
To be fair, it's a very simple format, but it made me feel good about the quality of the documentation.
ALT | Remote (EU) | Full-time | Frontend Software Engineer
We're a small, established company specialising in subsurface instrumentation development, as well as the software needed to handle subsurface data. As of right now, we're working on a product to streamline management, delivery and visualisation of data.
Currently chasing a frontend developer with a flair for UI/UX design, and experience in Vue.js and D3. Must have a strong mathematical background.
Open to employing via company-of-record (such as remote.com), or direct B2B consulting. If you're in Luxembourg, we can employ you directly. Reach out to me at jobs <at> alt.lu.
I work in the borehole instrumentation industry, and lots of our customers get hyperspectral data from core. I'm working on a new data delivery and management platform, and I've made sure our data structures can handle hyperspectral images. Multidimensional arrays are front and centre. I too think of spectral images as "cubes".
One thing that stems from this is the question of how you visualise it. False colour mapping?
I found that people think that whatever you are doing must be extremely cool if you display it with the 3rd dimension being time. So create a video of each frame of the hyperspectral image and it shifts from one frame to another. Idk if it is super useful but if you put the video on a powerpoint it gets lots of excitement
Oof, that's tough. I'm over here on a blue card, and I found that the initial application and dealing with department of immigration was actually really streamlined. Everything is very manual and personal over here, but there are a large number of public servants that are very welcoming and happy to help out.
I've noticed the umami flavour that tends to develop when cooking beer for a long time. An Irish stew with Guinness in it, or a gulas using beer as the staple liquid all develop Vegemite like flavours.
I love it, but I think a lot of non-Aussies don't recognise the similarities.
if you haven't done it, try slowly concentrating guinness in the way you would concentrate stock. Then add a little meat juice. It makes a formidable sauce.
There are multiple official camping grounds and caravan parks on the route. Unfortunately wild camping isn't allowed anywhere. I know that some people still try it, and probably so long as you're somewhere off trail, camp late and leave early nobody will bother you.
I see you used QGis. Last time I tried it there was no easy way of plugging a router. I switched to QMapShack. It's a bit more complicated to use the IGN service for the maps (whereas it works out of the box with QGis) but there are several options for routers. The offline one (Routino) requires downloading data but it works well. I use it all the time to plan 2-5 days treks in the French Alps. Having the actual elevation profile for a given segment is really useful.
Just thought you might want to try this setup for your next trek!
It's why I switched my Model 3 to just report battery percentage instead of estimated range. Their charge usage algorithm in their route planner is very impressive. Even across 300+ km trips, I've never seen it out by more than a few percent. From what I can see, it's most affected by wind. I guess they don't input weather into the estimation model.
My experience is that real world usage gets me about 85% of the advertised range for most of the year. I average around 160 Wh/km for the driving I do, so with a pack capacity of 75 kWh, that's about 470 km. Advertised range here in the EU was 530 km.
To be fair, it's a very simple format, but it made me feel good about the quality of the documentation.
