  3. Interesting observation. When I let the app generate a description, it always defaults to sunset and not sunrise. It makes me wonder how many other #algorithms choose one thing over another as the #default without much concern about how #accurate it is and how many people quickly choose the default because it’s easier to let the algorithm tell the story than it is to tell it themselves. My prior post was a sunrise and the app defaulted to sunset as it has done every single time I’ve used it to generate a description.

  7. #AfricanUnion Joins Calls To End Use Of #Mercator Map That Shrinks Continent’s Size

    [just a reminder that the Mercator projection was developed in 1569 for use in marine navigation, so as to utilise “rhumb line[s],… a path on the Earth's surface that crosses all meridians of longitude at the same constant angle, allowing for a steady compass bearing to be followed.” (this is most specifically NOT pedantry!)
    Glad that the suggested projection to make – rightly – the size of Africa be accurately represented is Equal Earth (equal-earth.com/, 4th figure) - rather than the (1) gross shapes distortion and (2) (erroneous) ‘socially concerned groups’ baggage that has been attached to the Gall-Peters projection]
