1.47 billion dots mapped across India - one for every person. Visualized in a browser on a laptop with MapLibre + PMTiles, built with freestiler. I developed freestiler earlier this year to make massive interactive mapping workflows more accessible. Until recently, I hadn't been able to push it above...

@maplibre Great feat. I fail to comprehend it’s usage. Could you elaborate more on that pls? Apart from the technical stuff of working with a huge dataset.

this is a technical proof-of-concept - I wanted to see how far I could push the tool. In a practical sense, you can create visualizations like comfortably on a laptop. More broadly, if you need to show a lot of data for your app / client project, freestiler makes it possible. It's saved me many times. See this walkthrough:

@maplibre Excellent. Actually, real time position of about 1.2 Billion people of around above 10 years age is possible by tracing their mobile phone location from towers. Similar to Google Maps traffic density.

@maplibre this such a horse shit visualization ...there seem to be no open space people are distributed like seeds on land

@maplibre This seems so good to understand but see, to make it a little bit hyper realistic, you can consider the building, humans today are not spreaded all on the ground, does not also mean to put people on flight or sky diving 😂 but would be cool if can be, live.

@maplibre right - it's a proof of concept based on modeled data from WorldPop, which is projected onto a 100m grid. WorldPop's modeled populations are smoothed over within cities, in particular.

@maplibre Since the dots are sampled inside the 100m cells, the point set is fully regenerable from the grid. Seeding that RNG gets you reproducible tiles without ever storing the 1.47B points anywhere.

@maplibre This is reason enough tobecome fully independent in every field and build an Indian firewall against such intrusion. West is notorious with subhuman values. They have no ethics. They have no place here.

Now you will have swarm of Indians following you and getting you more well deserved engagement for this highly optimized visualization involving over 1 billion points! It's commendable what you did there, I just request you to use the correct map of India🇮🇳. Looking forward to your work and using it in my work!

@maplibre Watching where users drop off and fixing broken buttons increases MRR faster than acquiring more cold traffic. That is why we built Zenovay ( with replays and heatmaps in one script. What conversion bottleneck are you working on next?

Today, Box is announcing major new AI agent capabilities to let customers tap into the full value of their unstructured data. First, we’re announcing all new updates to the Box AI Studio to make it even easier to build AI agents that tap into your enterprise content for any job function, business process, or industry specific use case. We are also expanding our set of foundational agents that customers will be able to use to work with their enterprise content, including new features like search and research on unstructured data. Next, we’re announcing Box Extract to enable customers to use AI agents seamlessly for complex data extraction from any type of document or content. This makes it easier than ever to pull out data from contracts, invoices, research data, marketing assets, medical charts, and more. Finally, we’re introducing Box Automate, a new workflow automation solution within Box that lets you deploy AI agents across enterprise content-centric workflows. With Box Automate, you can design your business process in a simple drag and drop builder and then drop in AI agents at any step in the process. This ensures agents execute tasks at the right steps in a workflow every time. Best of all, our AI agents and workflow tools are designed to work across any system our customers work within, whether it’s leveraging pre-built integrations, Box APIs, or the new Box MCP Server. Ultimately, all of these capabilities come together to transform how companies can work with their enterprise content. Software has historically only been good at automating work that deals with structured data, which is why ERP, CRM, and HR systems have been mainstays of enterprise software for so long. The data in these systems fits neatly into a database, and the workflows are very ripe for automation. But it turns out most of the work in the world deals with unstructured data. It’s ideating through research documents, working with a client on contracts, reviewing details for a new product launch, looking at a patient’s healthcare record to make a diagnosis, working through due diligence documents for an M&A deal, and so on. For the first time ever, we can begin to bring all new insights and automation to this work with AI agents. At Box, we’re incredibly excited to be on this journey to help customers transform how they work with their most important data.

Experiments in progress. The one on the right has been learning for ~3 hours, the one in the middle for ~1 hour, and the one on the left just started a few minutes ago. The initial motivation for making the physical Atari was just to commit ourselves to a subset of algorithms that can make progress in this setup. This commitment rules out algorithms that require billions of samples to learn (or worse, require multiple environments running in parallel). Atari games are simple enough that we should be able to show learning on them in a short amount of time with no prior knowledge. Since then, I've realized that this setup is also a good way to compare different paradigms in robotics in a principled way. These paradigms are sim2real, learning from tele-operated data, and learning directly on the robots. So far, I have observed that getting sim2real to work reliably is hard. It requires tweaks that don't scale. Policies that can play perfectly in simulation fall apart because of latencies and the messiness of the real world. These aspects could be modeled to improve the simulation, but not without sinking significant human engineering hours. I have higher hopes for learning from tele-operated data, but that requires a human to learn the task first. These experiments are on my to-do list. I have to learn to play some of the games well through the robot. I’m half-decent at playing Pong and Ms Pacman now. Learning directly on robots is looking like the most promising approach. This approach takes away pesky distribution shifts and makes it possible to have algorithms that continually improve with more data and time without any human intervention. It feels great to let experiments run overnight and wake up to find improved policies. With learning on robots, I should, in principle, be able to go on a long vacation and come back to find better policies for complex tasks beyond Atari games. Whether that is possible with current learning algorithms is a different question.

🚨MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT: I have been accepted into Daniel O'Shea 's AI software Accelerator This is a BIG deal Over the past couple months I've been building something huge in private. It's an AI powered X content tool that I believe will change the world This accelerator was a dream of mine to join. I'm now going to have the support and resources to make this the most powerful AI tool in content history I'm not just an algo guy. I'm not just a growth guy. I'm not just a Trader Joe's ice cream sandwich guy After this accelerator I will be the 1 person billion dollar business guy My tool is called Creator Buddy and it will make your content 1000x better You'll come up with more ideas and create greater content in a fraction of the time With Creator Buddy you'll be able to: • Create posts quickly • Use AI to repurpose posts for multiple platforms • Have an AI content coach that is trained on ALL of your content and can tell you how to make better content and get more followers • Generate endless content ideas • Use proven post templates • The most powerful AI content analytics on planet earth And much much much more The best part is I'll be building this entire thing in public I'm already 80% done. But once I launch I'll be going live every day to build in front of you. You can give me ideas and I'll ship those ideas live Beta testing starts in the next month and I'm letting a bunch of you guys in I'll be choosing 10 people who like/repost/and comment down below to beta test on day 1 Let me know 1 thing you'd want in a tool like this. Subscribers will get in the beta automatically Will be reaching out over DM shortly to the 10 winners This accelerator is a MASSIVE step for me in my career and life I will be the first person ever to build a 1 man billion dollar business in public I absolutely can't wait to take you along for the ride (after you like/reply/repost check DM in a little for beta invite)
