- oytis 8y agoNo, it's not. > Liza Alert takes its name from 5-year-old Liza Fomkina. In 2010 Liza has died of hypothermia in the Russian wilderness after a 9 day unsuccessful search mission. The foundation was born less than 21 days after Liza's death. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liza_Alert https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liza_Alert
- aportnoy 8y agoThank you for the correction, I always assumed it was named after Glinka.
- wildylion 8y agoNo. The previous commenter is correct. I'm actually a member of LA and I know the people who are running this project. So far has never read the article and I just know they're trying to automate image processing with ML. I'm mostly involved with communications (e.g. radio, etc) and generally helping out with their missions if I can. They asked if I knew drone pilots awhile back too.
- aportnoy 8y agoFascinating to see a comment from one of you guys. Any interesting news/insights?
- wildylion 8y agoMaybe we could organize a Reddit AMA? I don't know. I'm sitting in front of my office PC now, incidentally, after returning from a night lookout for a missing person. All I can say, get as much sleep as you can, sleep deprivation is a bch.
