AI aids large-scale mapping of Angkorian reservoirs beyond Greater Angkor
A group of international researchers has harnessed the strength of artificial intelligence to reveal previously unknown reservoirs from the Angkorian period in Cambodia...

Schade #heise. Wieder mal ein Downer für mich: Ein für mich prinzipiell sehr interessanter Artikel zu Rasenrobotern, der mit keinem Wort erwähnt, ob man eines der Geräte auch ohne Verbindung zum Hersteller voll nutzen kann.
Starke Abhängigkeit zu einer App lässt mich vermuten, dass damit auch die #Cloud mitgemeint ist.
Dann hoffe ich, dass mein alter #Gardena möglichst lange noch durchhält. Der braucht weder Internet noch Cloud noch App für seine Funktion.

Nebenbei: der flexible Begrenzungsdraht scheint mir immer noch deutlich praktischer zu sein als die teuren High-Tech-Alternativen: einfach zu installieren, einfach zu korrigieren/finetunen, lästig aber akzeptabel bei der Fehlersuche bei Kabelbruch.
YMMV.
#LiDAR (1 m resolution) of the Atchafalaya Basin within the Centerville NW, LA, NE DOQQ showing Grand Lake & Big Bayou Pigeon in Iberia & St. Martin Parishes. There are 7 recorded archaeological sites in this view. #Archaeology
#LiDAR of the southwest 1/4 of the Boneset Creek, LA, quadrangle map I processed at 0.25 m resolution: Top) elevation range in blue-green-brown-red; Middle) expanded color palette; Bottom) overhead 3D rendering. #Maps #Archaeology
#Swisstopo hat seit 2017 das gesamte Land mit #Lidar kartiert. Diese Erfassung ist nun abgeschlossen, und über die Swisstopo-Website können die Datensätze kostenfrei heruntergeladen werden.
Was besonders auch die #Archäologie freut.

Urban settlements in the #Amazon region? They existed long before Columbus. But knowledge about them was more or less lost for a long time. In her keynote lecture on Tuesday, Bolivian archaeologist Carla Jaimes Betancourt from the #UniBonn explained why #Lidar technology is now bringing back this knowledge and what new discoveries have already been made.
In an interview, she also told us why she became an archaeologist

People keep putting fake walls in front of Teslas
In the tesla fanboy's video, the Tesla Model Y with confirmed FSD (in this case, version 12.5.4.2) didn’t fare better than Rober’s — he had to manually stop the vehicle before it crashed into the fake wall that, to my human eyes, doesn’t look quite as convincing.

Tesla fans expose Tesla’s own shadiness in attempt to defend Autopilot crash
A group of #Tesla fans inadvertently exposed Tesla’s shadiness regarding crashes involving Autopilot by attempting to claim the ADAS was not active in a crash test
It was not only active, but it also disengaged itself less than a second before the crash—a known shady behavior of Tesla’s Autopilot

#TagderRaumfahrt – auch in #Leipzig!
Am Tag der Raumfahrt öffnen am 28. und 29. März 2025 viele Einrichtungen in Deutschland ihre Tore oder starten Aktionen zum Mitmachen. Mit dabei auch @tropos_de im #Wissenschaftspark Leipzig in der Permoser Straße 15 am Freitag, den 28.03.25 17:00-19:00. Wir zeigen wie #Laser die #Wetter- und #Klima-Beobachtungen revolutionieren. Die #Lidar-Technik hat neue Einblicke in die Wolken möglich gemacht:
