Do you have any links to your experiments and/or those of your colleagues?


Emailed you through the email listed on your HN profile


See also https://geoblaze-gsoc.vercel.app and the underlying libraries it uses, which also do range queries on GeoTIFFs.

I'm super interested in this space, including in helping financially support some projects. I already emailed Ted about this, but would be happy to chat to anyone doing this stuff. My email's in my profile.

(Luckily this is niche enough I'm not worried about my inbox blowing up....)


Well, I guess it's a good thing that I was a manager and basically never issued any operational commands over chat.


Not every one gets a bot created in their image. Lucky guy



The account I have from Melissa is that Marc was the source of all that plussing.


This is great! If you're interested, I'd love to have you at a GIS/mapping-focused retreat I'm hosting at https://www.gradientretreat.com/ this summer. You can reach out privately at avi@avibryant.com.


How hard would it be to support the Teensy boards? I didn't see any mention of them one way or another in the website.


Hi Avi! Let me first say that my final project at university was about Seaside, and that project landed me a Smalltalk job that marked the beginning of my professional life as a developer. I can't thank you enough!

Regarding Teensy boards, it would have to be version >3.0, because MicroBlocks uses 32 bit instructions and needs at least 16kb of RAM. The Teensy 3.0 just about meets the requirements, and 3.1 exceeds them comfortably.

We don't yet support any M4 MCUs, but we do support a couple of M0s, so I think porting the VM to the Teensy should be fairly easy. I don't currently have one, but I see they're cheap, so I'm going to order one and try to find some time to work on the port :)

If you'd like to, we can continue the discussion over email at interest (at) microblocks (dot) fun.


Interesting, anyone else seeing this? It's hosted on Netlify and is just static HTML&JS.


works for me


From what I can tell, Causal's models only run forwards, with no inference (ie, they can generate predictions from priors, but they can't update those priors from observations).

Is adding inference on the roadmap?


Yeah we sadly don't do inference right now. The initial vision was for the product to be a nice UI to let people build Bayesian networks, but now we're focusing more on a mainstream audience so probably won't be adding inference at all!


Yes, we are - Rainier is used in production, though so far it's a very small part of our overall ML efforts.


Huh. No, for the record, we'd never heard that acronym when we chose the name for Dabble DB.

I'm helping build a new team for Stripe in a new Seattle engineering office. We're focused on building distributed, scalable infrastructure for user-facing search and reporting-related features of Stripe's product. This is an opportunity to work on new, high-impact projects in a small team, while supported by the scale of Stripe's overall engineering organization and business.
