Astro is nice, but its a different model than Nuxt, more suited to static sites.

Feels like Cloudflare would have been a much better alignment, given they had some great integrations already. Hope they are able to maintain some level of autonomy.

Fortunately there are a lot of great alternatives to the ESRI lock-in, and FOSS has a long and rich tradition in Geo.

I think they probably like having an GDP 25x larger than North Korea's. Gets a lot harder to export your products around the world when you're squared off against the US.

Not sure about petabytes, but pretty sure Brandon Liu of Protomaps is hosting all the daily protomaps extracts via R2. Not sure what the egress usage is.

I've seen (but not used) this tool recently, which seems like it does a similar thing. Curious if it is any better experience. https://github.com/bahdotsh/wrkflw

Prefect is amazing. Built out an ETL pipeline system with it at last job and would love to get it incorporated in the current one, but unfortunately have a lot of legacy stuff in Airflow. Being able to debug stuff locally was amazing and su

they are great little devices. Has its own tailscale app too and can be used as an exit node! useful for me as the TV is pretty close to the fiber box on the wall.

Love Go (and async python, for different reasons) but miss me with the gRPC unless you are building hardened internal large enterprise systems. We adopted it at a late stage startup for a microservices architecture, and the pain is immense.

Can you talk more about what an implementation of such a semantic layer would look like?

You want a shape that can represent an approximately equal area, anywhere on a 3 dimensional surface.

Polars seems cool, but not willing to invest in adoption until Geo support is more mature. I find I'm preferring to run most operations I'd use dataframe libraries for in local SQL via DuckDB anyways.

I thought about this some more and did some research - and found an indexing approach using HNSW, serialized to parquet, and queried from the browser here: https://github.com/jasonjmcghee/portable-hnsw Opens up efficie

I have tinkered with using DuckDB as a poor man's vector database for a POC and had great results. One thing I'd love to see is being able to do some sort of row group level metadata statistics for embeddings within a parquet file

I think they're talking about using it to power inference for self hosted user facing applications.

Nice, thanks for the suggestion. I got it set up just before leaving town for a few days, so have been doing a little tinkering with it. I was hoping to have a setup with LM Studio, where my laptop could use the API Server from the mini ove

Thanks for all your writing on these topics Simon! It has turned me from a bit of a naysayer to an optimist around this tooling, especially being able running stuff locally with access to tools. Have an M4 Pro mac mini arriving this week to

Thanks for this reminder. The Robert Solomon scene in Waking Life re: Sartre had a profound impact upon upon me as a teenager and spurred my interest in Kierkegaard, but it has been several years since I have considered him. Great to see th
