    I have some Red Bull in the fridge for when https://www.albedo.space/ finally opens.

    Ultra high resolution satellite imagery for $15 a pop, it’s ridiculous.

    Speechly (https://www.speechly.com/) enables you to create new kind of voice user interfaces with real time visual feedback easily for any use case. Easy to use libraries available for iOS, web, React and Android. Great use cases: - any app that needs to input (modifiable) items, such as food/health tracking, fast food ordering, etc - any app that has search filtering (see fashion.speechly.com for a demo) - or of course anything that benefits from voice, such as innovative games, apps used on the go etc Check it out!

    Amazon is sponsoring a new ($50k) challenge on AI Crowd. Sense and avoid airbourne objects in autonomous flight. Relative velocities at which these things fly makes classification and tracking look extremely hard. But data set could be applied to search for UFOs...
