Leaflet's New Awesome Heatmap

There’s a brand spanking new heatmap for Leaflet maps and I couldn’t be more excited!

At work we were having many issues with a 2-year-old heatmap that hadn’t seen any support or forks in ages. But just before I was going to sit down and devote time to heatmap programming I stumbled upon Leaflet’s new Leaflet.Heat!

I was so dumbfounded how simple it was to configure. Here’s how easy it is to create a heatmap:

var heatmap = L.heatLayer(d.locations.data, {
  blur: 20, 
  maxZoom: 19, 
  gradient: {0.4: 'blue', 0.6: 'lime', 0.85: 'yellow', 0.97: 'yellow', 1: 'red'}
}).addTo(map);

The above fits on one line easily, and in fact I can inititialize it with a simple L.heatLayer(data).addTo(map). It was just released at the end of January 2014, and I’m hoping the Leaflet’s primary developer will continue to work on it.

Leaflet.heat is based on SimpleHeat. Grab the files on Leaflet’s GitHub.

Notes on Nothingness in a Physics and Philosphy Perspective

Since two years ago when I was heavily researching advanced propulsion, physics, and the Alcubierre solutions I’ve come to realize just how inadequate our physics theory is at explaining the underlying universe.
Triplet Embeddings in Deeplearning4j - Adapting FaceNet

Inspired by Google’s FaceNet project and OpenFace (and some help of Skymind.io), I implemented a java-based verion of triplet embeddings for the purpose of better computer vision at Bernie AI.
Automating Tinder with Artificial Intelligence

Back in 2014 I was absolutely frustrated with online dating and tried to automate everything. It was average, so I came back to the project, increased feedback accuracy to 99%, and found a girlfriend and built a team.
Neutrons, Light, Gravity, and Unexplored Warp Research

Our little warp research team has been making incremental progress towards reaching our goal of engineering an experimental setup. We discovered some mind-blowing concepts and some overlooked research.
Feature Sharing in Classes and Convolutional Neural Network Troubles

I’ve been taking a stab at computer vision and convolutional neural networks. Interestingly, I discovered a hard-to-solve problem when some classes contained features that indicated to multiple classes.
What's Missed in NASA's Warp Drive Research

Much skepticism surrounds NASA’s Eagleworks Lab and its Warp drive experiments. Spending the last six months playing catch-up on the field, we discovered a potentially large oversight in the early-stage research.
