Inspired by @pnorman’s animation, here’s a year of daily OpenStreetMap tile traffic. One frame per UTC day, from the start of September 2022 through end of August 2023. It’s from the public log aggregates, so some low-traffic tiles are left out for (I assume) efficiency and privacy.

@vruba My question is: where did you get the idea to use OSM tile traffic data as seed conditions for Conway's Game of Life?

@alan I feel like this could be the seed for a legitimate geography paper in like 1977.
