@Edent Hey! More then two years ago, I contacted you to setup an import tool to import all the benches from OpenBenches into OpenStreetMap, but I got stopped by a missing feature in an upstream dependency.
Well, two days ago, they added that feature. And as such, I got a test version out: dev.mapcomplete.org/benches?z=…
I used the database I found on your github, but it is slightly outdated. Can you please create a new dump?

I was able to use an extended conversation with an AI chatgpt.com/share/68ded9b1-37d… to help answer a MathOverflow question mathoverflow.net/questions/501… . I had already conducted a theoretical analysis suggesting that the answer to this question was negative, but needed some numerical parameters verifying certain inequalities in order to conclusively build a counterexample. Initially I sought to ask AI to supply Python code to search for a counterexample that I could run and adjust myself, but found that the run time was infeasible and the initial choice of parameters would have made the search doomed to failure anyway. I then switched strategies and instead engaged in a step by step conversation with the AI where it would perform heuristic calculations to locate feasible choices of parameters. Eventually, the AI was able to produce parameters which I could then verify separately (admittedly using Python code supplied by the same AI, but this was a simple 29-line program that I could visually inspect to do what was asked, and also provided numerical values in line with previous heuristic predictions).
Here, the AI tool use was a significant time saver - doing the same task unassisted would likely have required multiple hours of manual code and debugging (the AI was able to use the provided context to spot several mathematical mistakes in my requests, and fix them before generating code). Indeed I would have been very unlikely to even attempt this numerical search without AI assistance (and would have sought a theoretical asymptotic analysis instead).

Scene: My typical day.
VIP Customer: Build our new office network/tech/CCTV/PACS/BMS infrastructure, possibly with some server capacity... never know if we need a couple AI rigs.
Me: Okay. It's weird how the building has 5 electrical meters but one tenant, and maybe we should add some EVSEs too.
Cx: Don't worry about the meters thing, and yes, EVSEs are a good idea.
Me to Elechicken: How much power (KVA) can we get out the existing panels? What voltage? What current? (So I can order UPSes & PDUs.)
Elechicken: (getting back to me) Uh, I have to call the electrical safety authority because the building isn't wired properly [no disconnects on 600->208 secondary, times 5]

Brits complaining that they can't engage in protests "against Israel" for one whole weekend after a synagogue was attacked and Jews were killed on the holiest day of the Jewish calendar.
These protests usually contain calls for violence, antisemitic tropes, antisemitic rhetoric, and many times "just happen" to be outside of Jewish schools, synagogues, inside secluded Jewish neighbourhoods or even Jewish restaurants- never outside the Israeli embassy.

Your EuroBSDCon keynote was great and it was very nice to meet you in Zagreb!
At the end open bar of the social event closed only at 1AM, so not that bad for your keynote, thankfully! :)
Today reading Wikipedia:
Indeed it is easy to see that an odd-dimensional sphere admits a non-vanishing tangent vector field through a simple process of considering coordinates of the ambient even-dimensional Euclidean space.
Is it? Really? Is it really? How easy?

Friday.
We've spent days in hospital and the poor wife's had a lot of things going on, but not the things she wants to have going on. Baby is still firmly ensconced.
The house is coming together well though. The first of the sofas appeared yesterday, we put the curtains up this morning and the carpets are all down and lovely underfoot. The window sills have all been painted and varnished, the French doors are sealed and watertight (a good thing with a storm blowing in), and I've just finished re-seating all the electrical wall outlets and light switches now the paint's all dry.
The baby's changing unit remains to be assembled, but the crib and car seat are ready. We just need a baby now.
Daily CTG's are strong. Baby's moving well internally. Things just, have yet to go pop!

I've just uploaded a new DB.
What's the best way of getting OSM IDs from matched benches?
I'm hoping I can put a link on each validated bench back to OSM.
Pietervdvn
in reply to Terence Eden • • •Great! I'll update the challenge in the coming days.
The import is setup to add the OpenBench-id into the OSM-object with `openbenches:id`, as described on our wiki: wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Ke…
I've asked permission to the community (here community.openstreetmap.org/t/…) to already do an automated edit where all benches in OSM that already have a link to OB, will also receive the data (and images) that are in OB.
You can load+export all OSM-benches with an OB-id with overpass-turbo.eu/s/2cXZ
