Happy to field any questions about the project.

Related project I did in 2014 tried to do this. I was a web developer so used the web audio APIs to trigger a recording when the decibel level exceeded a certain value. I was living in a big tent in my friends back yard in Sydney at the time and was convinced it was airplanes coming into SYD that were waking me up at 4am but never really captured conclusive evidence because my laptop battery couldn't make it through the night :)

Maybe we need a journal completely dedicated to replication studies? It would attract a lot of attention I think.

> This is a huge leap from the previous global dataset, which contained about 1.7 billion buildings

I use the monthly release of Overture Maps building dataset and the last one had around 2.3 billion buildings iirc

I remember thinking there's a small arbitrage opportunity in countries that don't have pennies and nickels. In NZ I believe stores round to the nearest decimal (.02, .01 => .00 and .03, .04 => .05). They lose on some sales but gain on others. However, they don't round if you use a CC.

Here's one for the FIRE folks: if it rounds up, use a CC and if it rounds down use cash. Use all those pennies you save using your CC to retire 3 minutes early.

I think what Claude generated code is still missing is the feeling of "I learned something from reading this code. Reading this code made me a better programmer". We're not there yet. That's why we have forgiveness for the scripts/tests/etc Claude writes - those are purely for utility. However, reading Claude code must make us feel like we're getting smarter, not dumber.

My experience using Claude code is that it's excellent at React/React Native and because apps are mostly a View layer the consequences of bad "vibes" are less far reaching.

It's important to distinguish books you need to understand/remember versus casual reading. If you need to retain and understand then please take notes, re-read, explain the book to someone (Feynam method), etc.

If you're just reading casually, the content you retain from a book will be proportional to your interest not the speed with which you read it. Some parts of the book you will forget and others you will remember for the rest of your life even if you only read it quickly once.
