I didn't work on this project, but I've been getting to test it, and I can say it clears the "magical" bar. This isn't one of those awkward "stick a chatbot in the corner" features -- it's using an LLM to give you super powers. And it's only going to get better!

This is what I've been sweating over recently and I'm super happy with the way it turned out. My coworkers and I have started living in the future -- finding and visualizing multi-gigabyte rasters in seconds -- and now we just can't wait for others to join us!

I'm not sure ProPublica has the whole story here, but it's true Oregon and Washington underwhelm on their renewables rollout and it's very disappointing. www.propublica.org/article/oreg...

The effect of Israel’s total siege on Gaza has become catastrophic, doctors say. Shortages of food, water and medicine are prompting a surge of preventable illnesses, and deaths. nyti.ms/3GzOJV1

I spent two days playing with all of these new Felt capabilities last week and it was AMAZING. Felt Scientists have distilled the essence of Felt and put it in a bottle.

Absolutely terrifying. Maybe some or many are guilty but to do that to even one innocent person makes me shudder.

Create advanced visualizations that delight your team and clients - immediately make your category, size by or color range maps 10x more intuitive to your end user by adding icons (and emojis!). Pretty neat.

The idea of making the site of a recent US-funded genocide into a US-owned seaside resort for the wealthy is, in fact, audacious, but that is probably not the first descriptor I'd choose, or among the top 100.

I don't have any particular insight into how Trump's flurry of experimental (?) activity will play out, but I think reading this article six months ago has left me feeling somewhat less disoriented now www.statecraft.pub/p/how-to-def...

It’s crazy to think how much history can shift on decisions like this one made under enormous pressure and uncertainty…

We watched “True Lies” last night in a fit of Thanksgiving nostalgia, and the comic chemistry in that movie is still amazing. Hard to swallow the anti-Arab (and implied Palestinian) propaganda though.

I don’t know how Bluesky figured out I was into mushrooms, but I’ll play this game. Here’s some muki-take (I think) I found poking around my dad’s house yesterday

Just read Against the Grain and Seeing Like a State back to back, and while James C Scott was a very interesting thinker, he repeated himself way too much.
