I wonder if some simple technology, like underwater microphones can be used to detect whales. Make it regulated, such that ships must have such equipment active. Another idea would be to place stations, that track whales.
I agree, OLED can emit red light only. However, I am questioning whether that means there really is no need for red-only displays. As that mode on conventional displays (even on OLED) wastes pixels and is, more importantly, optional.
That is a valid argument against. A conventional display can simulate a red-only display, while the reverse is not possible.
However, there are two technical points, and one non-technical point, I would like to reply with.
First, as in my other comment, software filtering mostly reduces the blue and green light emitted, but does not eliminate it.
Second, these blue and green pixels become "useless". A monochromatic red-pixel display could have higher resolutions, or lower complexity and power use.
Third, and the biggest reason (in my opinion), is that it is not optional. A red-pixel only display, does not allow you to change "the warmness" or adjust the colors. Instead it forces its own color mode.
The "pixels" of a screen are composed of red, green, and blue sub-pixels. Software filtering mostly reduces the blue and green light emitted, but does not eliminate it. And the sensors in our eyes, the rods, are less sensitive to red color, when compared to blue or green. This means that looking at a red-light only monitor would be closer to "night" vision.
For the past few weeks, I had trouble falling asleep. Mostly due to late night screen use. Even though I use blue-light filtering glasses and night-time mode on my screen.
Then I thought to myself, why do I need to fight with this? Why cant I just buy a screen that has only red pixels (LEDs) on it?
So, I made a google form to check for interest in such a display. Or just comment here. Would you be interested in buying a display that uses only red pixels (no blue or green light) to reduce eye strain and improve sleep quality, even if it means limited color accuracy?
All I can say is that 347 tools sounds like too much. There are programming languages that define thousands of functions in their standard library. Yet, it is well-known that all you need in theory is just a select few. Lisp in particular, is one example where the entire language is based around just a few primitive functions, upon which all other functionality is built around.
> We're super excited to help new startups build data that were never possible before with the extreme high cost of data collection :D
I am super interested in making solutions to help startups exchange data. Especially for niche data. So if you are interested I'd love to get in touch.
Not just for the UK. The EU suffers of a data sharing problem too. Generally, the academia, industry, government, or even just companies, are reluctant to share their data.
Even if they do make it available, they restrict it to "personal use" via their ToS. Which is VERY inhibiting for startups, inventors, professionals, hackers, hobbyists, and even other companies.
This is exactly the problem I identified and am looking to solve with my startup.
Great. But look at the query feature of OSM. Try it. At higher zoom levels like 15, querying for features at the same coordinates as your example reveals nearby features. Like hotel buildings, post offices, recycling points, etc. The nominatin format is not enough. What is more, an extended feature set could be used together with an LLM. I am very interested in that, so, feel free to reach out to me if you want to discuss more.
Write a form in .md (even tell an llm to do it) and just put it online.
