Aman Bhargava @aman.bh · 08/09/2026I finally got myself an RTL-SDR receiver and today afternoon tracked the Meteor M2 satellite.

Aman Bhargava @aman.bh · 24/08/2026Since this data is being archived every day for the last 6 months, it gives me a chance to create #dataviz for how it has trended so far or compare it to what it is today. We can also find weather stations that are 'twins' and experience the same kind of skies. diagramchasing.fun/2026/mapping... 110
Aman Bhargava @aman.bh · 24/08/2026The forecast for each city gets converted into a cute little cloud glyph that changes throughout the day. I had a lot of fun drawing these tiny clouds. #dataviz 100
Aman Bhargava @aman.bh · 24/08/2026Every day, India's Met department publishes a forecast chart for ~1,200 stations. Their cloud-cover panel is drawn to look like a pixelated cloudy sky! I've been analyzing the charts to convert them to data, and map them daily in the same pixel art style. #dataviz diagramchasing.fun/2026/mapping...diagramchasing.funMapping India's CloudsA daily pixel map of cloud cover over India, read from IMD meteograms. 1275
Reposted by Aman Bhargavamichael h keller @mhkeller.bsky.social · 22/06/2026We did a massive data-collection-and-joining effort combined with statistical modeling to estimate that about 200 to 400 pedestrians are dying each year who otherwise would have survived if vehicles were about the same size as they were around 20 years ago. Cumulatively, that's thousands of deaths. 1185

Aman Bhargava @aman.bh · 17/06/2026Haha, no point in applying reasoning to our censors. Completely arbitrary, unchecked set of "values" applied on a whim.

Aman Bhargava @aman.bh · 17/06/2026Indian censor board cuts to any film used to be published in government gazettes by law. I collected 8,000 movies from the 1960s-90s and dug through them in this new post.

Aman Bhargava @aman.bh · 01/04/2026Well, yes, but that is more semantics I feel. Probabilistic or not, the myth-making is what's exhausting, and it seems to have everyone in a hold. I don't think people need to sell Claude with the output. If "Claude made it super fast, it's the end of our craft" is the main point, then *moves away*. 010
Aman Bhargava @aman.bh · 01/04/2026Random rant inspired by seeing more "AI ends dataviz" slop on LinkedIn. Eeks. 120
Aman Bhargava @aman.bh · 01/04/2026This is also why I don't engage in AI doomerism. I am not burying my head in the sand either, but these are the talking points that companies are already selling and I don't need to amplify them. That's what they want. It is a tool. Use it if you want to for software, but no need to mythologize it. 120
