There's a lot of data on UK water pollution - but it's not always laid out so it's easy for people to find. We wanted people to be able to investigate what's polluting their local area, & the Felt platform enabled us to build the Watershed Pollution Map:

Agree with the gist of the article, however a lot of “AI” haters are woefully ignorant of the advances in scientific research enabled by modern ML techniques. Fields like pharma, astronomy, GIS and many more are benefiting from the AI craze. To fully discount it as a dumb fad is just idiotic.

GIS set to British National Grid, I was one of the people who struggled to get QGIS to do this, the requisite option not available, for some people it is, fortunately other tales of anguish on forums enabled me to eventually sort that out.

I’d love to see that congressional crossover attribute vs some metric of gerrymandering visualized. GIS technology (and judicial tolerance for
massive gerrymanders) has enabled parties to select voters rather than the inverse. Closed primaries further reinforce this divide.
