We just launched Foursquare Spatial Desktop – a geospatial analysis tool powered by embedded DuckDB and built on sqlrooms.org. Everything runs locally: your data stays on your machine, no cloud needed. A modern reimagining of Kepler.gl. Mac only for now. More coming.

I feel like I need to level up my agentic coding. 90% of my usage is asking Claude Code to generate a first draft of something. Then I'll follow up and guide it to do some targeted improvements, but eventually I take back manual control. I haven't used context truncation, tool calls, hooks, etc.

@rust-lang.org-people, what's an open source project that you think has good error handling? I've been using thiserror for the past ~3 years in multiple codebases and I keep running into the same corners I'm unhappy with, and I want to read some new patterns/designs and get some better ideas

SUPER EXCITED about this. However, I highly recommend that if you haven't read the book, please go into this movie blind. Or at the least. Turn off the trailer after the 2min mark. Idk why every movie trailer has to spoil the plot nowadays.

Sounds like CIA is about to overthrow the Nobel committee

When anti-AI zealots say untrue things like “ChatGPT can’t search the web,” they’re just hallucinating because their training data ends in 2022. The next generation of anti-AI zealots will be better. Eventually, we will achieve “general anti-AI,” which will only say true things about LLMs.

I sometimes follow Federal court cases, and it's always funny to see the weird shit that random people enter into the docket

IT’S FINALLY THE YEAR OF THE LIN-

Writing good higher-order macros in Rust - notes.a10y.dev #rust #vortex In Vortex, we have a type hierarchy that looks something like this: `DType Struct(Vec<DType>) `Primitive(PType) where PType is broken down into Signed Int I8, I16, I32, I64 Unsigned In…

I recently fixed some higher-order macro nonsense in Vortex and wrote up a quick post about it, in the hopes that it might be useful to someone else

I am disappointed in the Lobsters discourse on your discourse about the AI discourse

en.meming.world/wiki/You_Dar...

In this thread, a bunch of people with nearly zero ability to think missing the point entirely.

This is easily good enough to fool *most* people, we really need to be aware what the capabilities are, or be easily fooled by them

A federal judge has ruled Badar Khan Suri, the Georgetown researcher held in a Texas immigration detention center since March, must be released from custody and returned to Virginia as he challenges the legal basis for his deportation.

Real question is do we got a Lou Malnati’s pope or a Giardano’s pope on our hands

Holy shit, marimo has gotten a lot better since the last time I used it 👀

Ok folks coast is clear, we're allowed to say good things about AI on this app now

So many (apparently) new followers or non-followers responding w/ a version of "they won't comply."

I have a strong position on this: This is dangerous & undermines the rule of law. The *expectation* is that they will follow the ruling. Make them justify each and any failure or refusal to do so.

ICE has abandoned almost all the trapping of a lawful arrest. Its officers cover their faces, conceal their identities, use gratuitous force, and transport their targets across state lines to stop courts from intervening. The distinction between an ICE arrest and criminal abduction is disappearing.

Seems like it might be hitting this?

It's wild to think about all of the things my parents' generation has lived through

- Vietnam
- Iran/Contra
- Most of the cold war
- Creation of the internet
- Creation of personal computers
- Creation of smart phones
- 9/11
- Iraq War
- Global financial crisis
- COVID
