My first ever Machine Learning Project, #FloodSENS reaches a first major milestone.

We completed our Final Review with ESA and are in good shape to push into commercial space. 🚀

Big thanks to @esa & #InCubed for supporting our project! 🙏

#FloodSENS, a Machine-Learning based flood detection algorithm, has successfully passed its final review with #ESA and #InCubed ‼ During an Open Session, we demonstrated how FloodSENS exploits freely available Sentinel-2 data to detect flood extent����.

A rare hidden gem from a Luxembourgish #YouTube-r!

Deserves all the support in the world for the world class tinkering and S-Tier meme usage🦾

@SilviaBucci10 @Jotadelcen It was great fun working together with the dataset. So many challenges remain. Fascinating 🕺💃

@alkalait Can't wait! Remembered our discussion but I definitely lacked some background to really grasp it :)

@AlisonBLowndes @ZelenskyyUa Open Source Intelligence is suggesting that even Izyum has been liberated. But lets be mindful of the fog of war.

Time will tell, lets hope for peace for all of Ukraine, free and sovereign. Слава! 🇺🇦

Yesterday's Space Resources challenge by @ESRIC_lu, @esa was a much bigger event than I expected.

Congrats to all the Teams for your technical achievements and the moments of wonder you created for the kids & next space pioneers joining the showcase 🌚

@theAGU @LPItoday @ETH_en Congrats to the research Team! Beautiful work :)

A man with an inspirational mission in life has passed. Frank Drake and his Drake equation will continue to be the backbone for humanities Search for ExtraTerrestrial Intelligence (#SETI)!

Rest with the stars 🙏

[The SETI Institute @SETIInstitute]

Frank Drake (1930-2022) left an indelible mark on our planet. We will miss him deeply. Our deepest condolences to his family. Rest with the stars, Frank.

Algorithmic art, no AI involved!🧑‍🎨🤖 #AI #art

Processing Digital Elevation Models with hydrological #algorithms can look alien if you let QGIS choose the colors automatically. #geography

(I'm not serious about calling it art😂)

@tyhwoh5 Nice, very hopeful. Feels like a positive outlook on generational learning & progress.

I just think there is a beautiful interplay to between science uncovering how the world works and religion to explore what our place is in it and address the big 'why'

[Ben Gaffinet @BenGaffinet]

"All men seek to be enlightened. Religion is but the most ancient and honorable way in which men have striven to make sense out of God's universe. Scientists seek the lawfulness of events. It is the task of Religion to fit man into this lawfulness" - Frank Herbert, Dune, 1965

@mggtTaylor Short, effective. Love how our replicant friend is more human than humans in it.

I was also surprised how great Blade Runner 2049 turned out. Hope you saw it. For me it really captured the magic of the original.

Exactly 120 years ago Teddy Roosevelt was the first President to take a public ride in an automobile.

Cars were exceedingly rare and, plot twist, most were electric⚡️

Sometimes I wonder why I thought electric cars are sci-fi when I was a kid🦄 #ElectricVehicles #POTUS

@tyhwoh5 Go to Leiden. It's cute & small with big cities within a 20 minute train ride.

Plus ESA is close by, lots of cool stuff happening there 🚀
