@brunosan @brunosan Thanks, I wasn't thinking of the LLMs. In the community there is interest in those to support a more friendly user interface

[SamLavender @SamLvndr]

@brunosan There is ongoing work by Google/Microsoft, and I'm sure more I haven't spotted, e.g. https://t.co/xx4CjfOe0R

Don't miss out on the End of Mission Workshop 18-19 January 2024 in Ghent, Belgium. The workshop will delve into previous activities, overlap with other #hyperspectral missions, and discuss a future CHRIS #ARD. Submit abstracts by 13 Nov, and register at https://t.co/u1uZbwQote

@TimoVainionpaa @mouthofmorrison Fully agree with receiving the cash as getting paid isn't always as straightforward as it should be

[SamLavender @SamLvndr]

@map_andrew Being laid off isn't unusual at the moment, but that makes it no less personal. I've been on the other side and tried my best to be as supportive as I can, and where it is of interest, I stay connected so I can continue to support people in their career development.

@stim3on I always try to write pseudo-true colour in papers in recognition that I'm using approximate RGB bands

@Steven_Ramage When working with endless opportunities, we also have to be mindful of our own health as it's easy for that to end up being forgotten and our bodies then find ways of reminding us... Have a good rest and recovery.

@Steven_Ramage Also trying to reduce my flights by taking more trains. Recently travelled St Louis to Chicago in US, and it was a very comfortable train but it was 7.5 hrs late arriving in St Louis so had a long wait to board. I now have a voucher that I need to go back to the US to spend...

@HayleyEversKing It depends what the structure of your data is.... COG best for a limited number of 2D arrays while ZARR for 3D arrays typically held in NetCDFs

[SamLavender @SamLvndr]

@SophiaKianni @ed_hawkins In the US at the moment and saw them on the Weather channel this morning

[SamLavender @SamLvndr]

@nadinesa @TaylorGeoSTL Congratulations, sounds like an exciting challenge

[SamLavender @SamLvndr]

@Lederman @WhaleX1000 @xprize It was great chatting with you and discussing the amazing role the biology in the ocean plays

[SamLavender @SamLvndr]

@cpl43uk @airlinerslive Yes, and unfortunately it seems that stage has failed

[SamLavender @SamLvndr]

Enjoyed watching the @airlinerslive channel for #StartMeUp #CosmicGirl Shame the livestream missed the missile drop. Waiting for satellites to deploy...
