Using satellite images and AI to fight spatial apartheid in South Africa
In this article, Tim Nirn discusses how satellite images and AI can be utilized to address spatial disparities in South Africa, particularly in terms of resource allocation such as schools, healthcare facilities, parks, and hospitals. By analyzing satellite images, patterns and disparities in resource distribution can be identified, allowing for data-driven decision-making to bridge the gap created by historical spatial inequalities. This approach offers a means to redistribute resources based on quantifiable data, ultimately working towards a more equitable society.
It's not Microservices or Monolith, it's Cognitive Load You Need to Understand First
Fernando Villalba explores the concept of cognitive load when considering the architecture of software systems. Rather than focusing solely on the debate between microservices and monolith, he emphasizes the importance of understanding an organization or team's cognitive load capacity. By balancing the distribution of cognitive load, developers can reduce complexity and make more informed decisions about architectural design. The article highlights the significance of cognitive load in determining the most suitable architecture for a given project.
AI and Satellite Imagery in Addressing Spatial Disparities in South Africa
This article by the Distributed AI Research Institute delves into the use of satellite imagery and artificial intelligence to combat spatial inequalities in South Africa. By analyzing satellite images and employing AI techniques, such as machine learning, researchers can identify disparities in resources like schools, healthcare, and parks. This data-driven approach aims to help redistribute resources and bridge the gap created by historical apartheid policies.
