GeoAI: key developments & insights

It's been a while since my post on geo and the AI hype in 2019. Back then, I didn't use the term "GeoAI", even though it has certainly been around for a while ...

Google restructures Earth Engine to be more difficult.
Microsoft is closing down Planetary Computer division.
AWS, even if their "Earth" thing was relevant, is also going that way sooner or later.

When billion dollar corporations can't monetize products, no amount of wishful thinking and fuzzy feelings will keep them alive.

(Did someone say Gen-AI?)

The age of web based, at-scale on-demand, low code Remote Sensing is coming to an end.

After wasting so much time with writing grants you'd hope it mattered, but seems it doesn't: **Do grant proposal texts matter for funding decisions? A field experiment**

So apparently the term "patch" in software development comes from punched paper tape.

"Small corrections to the programmed sequence could be done by patching over portions of the paper tape and re-punching the holes in that section."

Fantastic day with CDRC Data and Geodemoraphics at Saïd Business School, University of Oxford. Great to catch up with old and new colleagues, and hear about consumer data being used in OAC, health, geodemoraphics from space, working from home, night time data, construction and The Book of Mormon! Plus a fantastic careers panel on the importance of keeping up with new developments and being able to learn on the job! Thanks everyone and hope you had a great time!

Hey #rstats people: I'm trying to talk Kyle Walker (tidycensus 📦 author) into coming back to Mastodon 😀 He tried Threads and didn't like it. But he says Mastodon "wasn't fun. I want #rstats mixed with NBA and general interest content, Mastodon was too narrow."
Any ideas?

Just gonna leave this here.

I'm curious to see how the wind blows and where the weight of the next generation of social media will fall (I do hope it's in the #fediverse).

I've been on BlueSky for a while, and it's crickets for anything I post and I can't find interesting content. My experience here is the exact opposite—much better engagement (given audience size) than any other platform and I also stumble on someone or something new.

Thanks fedi-friends, I'm glad we're all here for the ride! 🏇🏻

@nickbearman this was something we used to do at GISRUK in the opening session I think so they all got a big audience.

Super glad to see our study "Estimating public transport emissions from GTFS data" finally published on Transp. Research Part D. Amazing collaboration with Joao Bazzo & P. Andrade
📑Paper: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.trd.2023.103757
🔓ungated PDF: https://urbandemographics.org/publication/2023_trpd_public_transport_emissions_gtfs2emis/

There's a growing number of lists of academics on Mastodon, but nothing yet for cartographers and geovisualization practicioners. Following @floledermann's great suggestion, I set up this form to start gathering accounts:

Feel free to add yourself to the list if you're concerned! Your name will soon appear on the "Cartographers on Mastodon" list here: https://mapperfr.github.io/mastodon-cartographers/.

Let's connect!

I've been playing around with using #WebR and #Quarto for client-side interactive lesson material and it's amazing! All the R code (including #TidyVerse 📦) is running in the user's browser, so no server setup, resources, or security to worry about.

Huge thanks to @hrbrmstr for sharing all of this awesomeness this week(end). Checkout his new blog post on this: https://rud.is/b/2023/03/12/almost-bare-bones-webr-starter-app/
