Rediscovered while excavating my archives. Three vignettes show a bit of how I think about geometric relationships in #map labeling. (In case the embedded video gets compressed beyond recognition, it's also on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQws...)

One cool feature of my camera map is the on-the-fly spatial search with #duckdb and #parquet sourced from from us census urban areas #gis #geospatial #webdev - no need for pre-processing all the data xycameras.com#12/39.93001/...

Heard the one about how dozens of researchers assigned $144,000 worth of real world human tasks to the world’s “smartest” AIs to manage and… They fucked up so monumentally that they were able to generate $1700 between them arxiv.org/pdf/2510.26787

A few takeaways here are where did LLM agents rank 10 years ago (probably 0) and where will they rank in 10 years...my guess is that's a logarithmic curve but one that will never get to 100%.

this is how easily facts can be spun - using the term "deeply divided" when the percentages are 60/40 is a complete joke - "Americans are deeply divided on Donald Trump. A recent Reuters/Ipsos poll found that only 40% approved of his performance as president, while 58% disapproved." from the #bbc

Ever since X became a dumpster fire and moving to bsky I still have not found that awesome feed that once scrolled across my phone in the prime days of twitter, beautiful maps and trending news...maybe I'm just not following the right people or social media or people's use of it has just changed 🤷

I mean I wish I had the spare time to put together a clean social media ready, interactive or image of a map every day for a month, yes it's a cool idea but something about has always felt out of touch to me.

It's quotes like this that the right loves - "Progressive" idols preaching the lie about left-wing extremism, when "...right-wing extremist violence has been responsible for [...] approximately 75% to 80% of U.S. domestic terrorism deaths since 2001." theconversation.com/right-wing-e...

theconversation.com

Right-wing extremist violence is more frequent and more deadly than left-wing violence − what the data shows

Donald Trump and top administration officials confidently assert that left-wing political violence is a huge problem in the US. They’re wrong, say researchers who study extremism.

Curious if companies that index data in STAC are also (only) exporting to stac geoparquet or if this is something you would first generate as an end user.

Hard part is distinguishing between dark green, dark blue and dark red...still working on ideas here, though where the dark areas are inside the radar image sort of hint at which type they are. The simple all grayscale version should be online soon.

what's possible on a $5 4 core VPS? A lot actually: full-text search with #sqlite and fts5, lightning fast vector tiles with mbtiles, and decent performance with vector tiles generated on-the-fly via #flatgeobuf #geopackage easily increased with double the cores #gis #gischat www.getbounds.dev

Cloud-native Geo may be the hot new thing but turns out a simple SQLite database with an r-tree spatial index (GPKG) works just fine even for 6 million features, on a cheap 4 core server. Plus it gives you search-as-you-type via fts5. #gis #gischat #webmaps #cng

Malcolm Meyer @malcolmmeyer.com · 04/05/2025

Flatgeobuf on-demand vector tiling performance on a $5 4-core server *almost* good enough. The FGB process uses http range requests with minimal latency as the data host is the web server not a cloud bucket. More/faster server cores (my m2 Mac) make it much more viable. #gis #gischat #webmaps #cng
