Good read (as is the next article in the series), but you can tell it hasn't been proofread due to "paypa׀.com" being described as a danger. Maybe in a different font than the website's, but in that case, maybe this should have been rendered out.

El Salvador looks black but has pretty good coverage throughout the country.
Costa Rica seems also to have more coverage than I see here.
Paraguay too.
Costa Rica and Paraguay coverage was added recently (within the last year iirc). The author notes Paraguay as an example of a country that was not yet in the dataset they sourced from.
El Salvador does have a decent amount of coverage on street view, but this was done by El Salvador Maps (if you pan the camera down, you'll see this name on the cars used to capture the coverage). The dataset is curated by a member of the Geoguessr community, in which "unofficial" coverage like this is disregarded, which is why you won't see it included.
I might be misunderstanding something about atproto, but isn't it always possible to export data from bluesky because all it takes is reading your data, which is done by any app interacting with your pds anyway? If they block that, they're blocking atproto functionality entirely, no?

Does this do anything differently from https://backloggd.com/? I've been using Backloggd a lot over the past year and I'm not sure how this is different (aside from being ad-free, which is nice)

>walking in new cities
I do enjoy digital life, but you know what else rocks, apropos walking in new cities[0]?
Custom maps, printed.
Its fun to look at the little piles of maps I've made for myself over the years, from Frome to Rome, Berlin to Pristine ..
In fact, I think I prefer printed maps over digital, for personal adventure/navigation needs.

What do you mean by custom maps? What do you include/exclude from them, and how do you make them?

Given that a few people mentioned it having better than average knowledge of obscure things from the internet, I asked it what the llm tools from Simon Willison is. Gpt2-chatbot said "Log Lady's Mug". Gpt-4-turbo said "Log Lady Mysteries".
I tried a few versions of the prompt, including asking first about shot-scraper. It knows shot-scraper was made by Simon Willison and mostly knows how to use it, but that didn't help it with llm. Long tail is still a problem.
If I had API access to this, I might be interested in trying to find if there exists a prompt that can improve this sort of thing.
Seems most likely to be a training data issue, the first release of llm was in 2023 whereas shot-scraper's was in 2022.
Russia supported by Iran vs Ukraine supported by every major Western Power.
China vs Taiwan standoff. China recently built a Taipei city center mock up in the desert. Taiwan controls 90%+ of global microchip production.
Recent Armenia vs Azerbaijan (supported by Turkey) war. More tension on border.
Israel levelled Gaza and killed 30,000 Palestinian civilians, and is striking Lebanon and Syria. Iran posturing back.
Posturing in Africa by Russia, France, and China.
North Korea being noisy as usual.
This is literally just the tip of the iceberg.
> Recent Armenia vs Azerbaijan (supported by Turkey) war. More tension on border.
I completely missed the Armenia/Azerbaijan conflict, but from what I can tell, tensions there don't seem likely to pull many other countries into it. Curious if you have thoughts on that.
> Posturing in Africa by Russia, France, and China.
Can you explain why this would lead to a potential world war? Most of what I can find about this is foreign countries vying for economic influence, which seems unlikely to burst into conflict, especially one that would become a world war.
Among other things, perhaps the recent bombing of the Iranian section of a consulate in Damas, Syria by Israel, to which Iran responded by war threats.
I did in fact miss this, thanks. I'm not as convinced by other commenters' references to Putin's nuclear threats, but the Middle East erupting into a broader conflict with the US joining in seems at least somewhat plausible to me. Another comment mentioned the potential of the US entering a war in defense of Taiwan, which also seems quite plausible to me given China really wants Taiwan back and Taiwan is much more critical to the US than, say, Ukraine.
