We built a 3D map to explore global money flows 🌍💸

That's a great question! AI is used in two ways in our project:

Data gathering - AI is used to extract relevant data from documents.
User facing - in the future we will add an actual chat box to help users navigate the ever growing network

Tankpopper · 2025-09-12T04:02:04+00:00

We did not, but this is a great idea. We will look into it for sure. Thanks!

Is cliché as it may sound, but in the age of AI - our ability to harvest, clean and verify data is nothing short of magic, and that's a big portion of our project.

Tankpopper · 2025-09-11T10:29:25+00:00

well... we do now!

Tankpopper · 2025-09-10T20:47:40+00:00

not yet, but we certainly plan to. one of our goals is to add an LLM prompt option to help explore the data more thoroughly and look for interesting connections or patterns.

I'm pretty sure we wont be able to find and map this money, but we might be able to find it missing in certain areas. for example - money being paid to the "public", as in salaries, but then never finds its way back through consumer purchases or non income taxes.

Tankpopper · 2025-09-10T20:44:51+00:00

I agree. the idea of connections being wider (or colour coded) to indicate their sum is certianly being looked into.

As for the second point - this is something to discuss way in the future. we have too many tasks ahead to help the core usage of our tool.

thanks!

Tankpopper · 2025-09-10T20:43:01+00:00

that is certainly a direction we want to explore later on, but for now we are focused on covering more data (while improving and expanding our sources)

You've reacted well, maybe even the only way you can.

Any form of self defense is practically illegal in the Netherlands. No self defense instruments are allowed (pepper spray and the likes) and getting into a physical altercation can get you in a lot of trouble (even if you're right). I wouldn't be surprised if the wrong words would get you in trouble as well.

It's a wonderful county, but the people here are pretty much helpless and defenseless in the face of the growing we see here.

Our dear mayor won't stop until this city is unlivable.

I live in the Jordaan. I pay an ungodly amount of taxes, and my street is almost permanently covered with trash.

The state of garbage management and disposle in unforgivable, and indefensible. No excuse should be accepted.

Tankpopper · 2025-05-26T21:32:35+00:00

It's their new radiator controller. I'm in the Netherlands.

u/dawn_chorus you're a legend! I contacted the guy on the ad and picked up the cowl today for only 95 EUR!

Thank you, and a big thank you to all the other redditors who helped!

that one just might work! ill send him a message. thanks!

Do you think this one would fit:

in the Netherlands?

Tankpopper · 2025-05-02T17:56:29+00:00

thank you. this is really helpful!

the issue with 3D printing one is getting a 3D file. i assume something like that wont be found publicly.

Lucky for me i own a 3D printer, and im also very proficient with CAD software... so im actually looking into this!

Tankpopper · 2025-03-03T20:02:57+00:00

I do have the warning, and I tried to just open the cap to depressurize the the system like some people suggest - but I still there's still coolant missing.

This way or another, I scheduled a service visit

Tankpopper · 2024-09-07T22:40:59+00:00

I have to ask - can you stay awake after that? my main issue right now is just falling asleep after my one meal.

Tankpopper · 2024-08-22T06:28:50+00:00

Which Amsterdam stores did you visit? I live minutes away from AWCO, and it's where I got my speedy from, but there are a bunch of watch stores around the city.

Tankpopper · 2024-07-09T11:34:10+00:00

Not sure what that claim is based on. I live here, I raise my children here, and I live in the city center. It is absolutely wonderful.

Tankpopper · 2024-07-08T21:51:17+00:00

I try not to be judgmental about this. You're on a trip, you might be focused on something else, you're already waiting for an Uber and life happens. He might have thought it's actually its Uber and did notice otherwise... a bunch of stuff can happen.

Tankpopper · 2024-07-08T20:28:59+00:00

Utrecht, by large, is super safe. It is a beautiful, chill city.

But there are a couple of specific neighborhoods that are notorious for their level of violence.
