I rendered this map from the OSM source with some filters so some locations could be excluded. Anyway, I can manually add any locations. Please write to me via the contact form with a list of locations to add
"In the 90s I was on the Disappearing Team for the McGillicuddy Serious Party. When we were in power my task was to go around the world erasing New Zealand from all the maps, since if no-one knew we were here, we wouldn't have to spend anything on defense or build annoying tourist traps" (c) RalphNZ
The cartography industry and New Zealand have a long, complicated history.
I'm building a little map experiment where people rename places. Added a "$1 to show New Zealand" feature (if you click "No", it shows NZ for free anyway). NZ is a DLC now
Yeah, same, I was surprised how well people behaved, most were more creative than toxic.
I checked that badwords list too, but it feels outdated and it’s not great for maps: it blocks words like "dick", and there are plenty of official place names and features that contain that substring and more others surprising examples.
These days it's easy to plug in AI-based profanity filter quickly. I'm also not too worried about people making "penis" jokes on the map, the dataset already has plenty of that stuff anyway, word-play is a base for geography naming.
I mean, when the site first came out, Google started to show product pages and impressions started to grow, but after a couple of weeks they dropped completely to zero and the pages were excluded from search index, and I don't see anything changing, only some pages got into the index, mainly because of links referring to the site. Well, there are almost 100k products here now and I hope this collective unconscious never gets into search results
You'll be surprised how quickly Google determined the usefulness of the site and practically removed it from the search results, and it was absolutely right to do so
The model used to generate product descriptions is llama-3.2-11b-vision-instruct. There are a lot of built-in limitations, and I can't do much with it. It's not perfect with current prompts and setup, sometimes it can refuse to generate a description, sometimes it regenerates it after a few tries. Check it out, I regenerated Covid-19 text
I always have a lot of ideas, but this project seemed to me the least creative of all, it seems like it's too obvious, I don't know really, it's just generate stuff with available models, like a million of similar or more useful ideas
