plantnet works well.

We've got these crazy weeds that have seeds that explode and shoot all over like shrapnel.  Very effective seed dispersal.  I recently searched them on plantnet and see that they are some sort of bittercress, and make good eating before they go to seed.

Pete's using https://www.picturethisai.com/ for plant ID. It also does plant care.We found a pin cherry on our morning walk today.

Mountain identification? How is that possible so many look alike?
Oh, GPS location in addition to shape?

Neat.

Damn, he had quite a career. He was fortunate to have skilled teachers who saw  the promise in him.

RIP Metro Hero.

This was an app that would tell you all the information about the positions and status of every train in DC's Metrorail system.  A husband and wife team in Arlington used publically available Metro data to create an amazing app that was SUPER useful to me.  You could see where the trains were and make adjustments to your commute accordingly. Crowded platforms and garbled announcements by the station managers?  No problem, you could see what was going on in real time and had better info than they did to act accordingly and get a jump on the crowd of confused riders.  I didn't realize how often I looked at the app.  Kinda like traffic mode in Google maps, but better.

Anyway, the husband/wife app team moved away from DC and saw no need to keep the app going.  Only a few tens of thousands of subscribers.  So they unplugged it.  I got home from vacation this week, and wondered where all the trains were on the app.

This is an opportunity for a programmer to write a replacement app and earn hundreds of dollars.

That's fine and dandy until a Russian hacker screws it up and you're late for work, then fired, and replaced by an AI robot made by the company that paid the Russian hacker.
