@aworkinglibrary if explaining and preparing for things were doing things i would get so much done

Huh. Just had a wild, cascading run of great ideas for a work project I finished like 7 years ago.

Weekend project: tinkering with cloud removal from Landsat stacks. Here the top two images are inputs and the bottom is output from them alone.

It’s strictly pixelwise and n→1 (deep set–style), so it scales to any stack depth. Notice it fills the nodata with the training set average color, and the cloud overlap with a sort of polite fog.

Sentinel-1 radar of Helene last night – 23:37 UTC, 19:45 EDT. The swath is about 250 km (150 mi) wide.

Sar autoencoder fun (central east coast of Madagascar).

@jes5199 Suddenly dizzyingly homesick.

@sgillies Do I have to go back and listen from the beginning?

I have to finish my damn project so I can try to get interviewed on one of the big pansharpening podcasts.

Friends fear he’s messing with reaction–diffusion systems again. https://xoc.s3.amazonaws.com/also/rd.mp4

A little unexpected good news: I spent 90 seconds looking into the thing in the news and it turns out it’s actually really good evidence of the veracity of an opinion I already had.

If I want to learn the basics of EE, maybe getting a ham license, what text should I use to get a solid grasp of the principles?

– I am generally familiar with software and specifically some signal processing. It’s the EM stuff I need to learn.

– Naturally a lot of this is best learned by doing. I’m asking about the parts best learned by reading.

– I can borderline pass a practice test for the lowest ham license today by bluffing and light memorization. But I want the actual knowledge.

@KalofXeno Incredible shot.

@aegir Do you happen to know the parameters of the Eurion constellation? I had them mostly worked out a while ago, but public information seems oddly lacking for something so clearly visible.

@FormerlyStC Not the way I do it!

The voice in my head that yells at me for being way off in the weeds on some detail v. the voice in my head that yells at me for not putting any explanations in the explanations.
