The 1.4 release of DuckDB supports using a DuckDB database to serve vector tiles! Of course, I had to try this out in R. Check it out: all 242,000 US Census block groups dynamically served as vector tiles from a DuckDB database, displayed on a MapLibre map from R in Positron.

GeoLibre v1.10.0 is here! GeoLibre is a free and open-source, lightweight, cloud-native GIS platform for visualizing, exploring, and analyzing geospatial data. It runs everywhere you do, in the web browser, on the desktop, on mobile, and inside Jupyter notebooks, all while keeping your data local and private. This release brings photorealistic city-scale 3D to the map, adds OGC API vector tiles, and makes vector tiles and live editing easier to work with. What's new in v1.10.0 - Google Photorealistic 3D Tiles: drape entire cities in photorealistic 3D right in the map, streamed and rendered through - ArcGIS I3S scene layers: stream Integrated Mesh and 3D Object scene layers and render them in 3D on the shared instance. - OGC API vector tiles: add standards-based OGC API - Tiles vector tile services as a remote source, right alongside XYZ and ArcGIS vector tiles. - Local HDF5 and NetCDF-4 loading: open scientific HDF5 and NetCDF-4 files straight from disk, no cloud references required. - GeoEditor from the current view: pull the vector features currently visible in the map into the GeoEditor and start editing what you are looking at, without re-importing the source data. Try it out - Launch GeoLibre Web: - GitHub: - Documentation: - Release notes: #GIS #Geospatial #OpenSource #RemoteSensing #DataVisualization #MapLibre

How do computers understand data? With semantic search! Instead of just matching keywords, it understands context using vector embeddings. Here’s how: 1) Convert data (text, images, etc.) into vectors (embeddings) 2) Store these vectors in a vector database 3) Search by meaning, not just the keywords Semantic search makes finding data across formats easier. Learn more in this blog post by Leonie, my all-time favorite:

Gemini has always been my go-to LLM for document extraction - but accurate bounding boxes with agentic vision are a huge value-add in the latest Gemini models. Shown: extracting structured data from an oil & gas lease in Ector County Texas with the best bboxes I've seen yet.

$AI labs are out scaling the most iconic SaaS businesses in history. The core driver: A fundamental shift from Selling Software (per-seat) to Selling Work (per-output). The Market Shift: Legacy: Tool-based subscriptions ($0.2T TAM). New Paradigm: Direct monetization of work ($5.5T TAM).
