Yes, there are several geopackages that will only work reliably with conda (GDAL, cartopy etc.), even under Linux.

Does anyone know how Uv performs in the Geo-Package-Space? (i.e. GDAL, geopandas, cartopy, pyproj, rasterio etc.) This is the one area where I still find that conda performs best because all the authors of these packages use the conda-forge

Here's a presentation I held on "The Resilient PhD/Postdoc: Building Habits to Combat Information Fatigue". This was an internal workshop as a postdoc representative at my institution, but I'm sharing it publicly (i

I wonder if a safer approach to using MCP could involve isolating or sandboxing the AI. A similar context was discussed in Nick Bostrom's book Superintelligence. In the book, the AI is only allowed to communicate via a single light sig

Usually, in these edge cases, I go to the documentation page and dump all pages as Markdown into the AI tool (most often Gemini, due to token count). This context engeneering has helped a lot to get better answers. However, it also means I

Does anyone know what the deal is with the left eye of Spanish architect Jordi Faulí in the NYT picture? It seems odd to use this picture without explaining what is going on. I could not find any records of Jordi having an eye injury.

Several garages inherited and mostly not in use, a large backyard, half of the greenhouse (my mother complains that the tomatoes now don't grow as good), the summer kitchen/garden house, the main house. 96x Solarwatt 60M-310, 160x

Yes, going off the grid would be a waste of resources and somewhat anti-social. I calculated that I would need a minimum of a 300 kWh battery to fully bridge the dark days in winter. This is not sustainable. I would much rather see all my n

That is what I did. 90kWp PV to power a house with 6000kWh yearly consumption. It works. And this was really cheap compared to buying expensive batteries that need replacing after 10 years. The 90kWp were about €90,000.00. I installed the m

Then we need something else. This is not how LLMs work. They are simple statistical predictors, now universal anwsering machines.

More recently, I find ChatGPT to become increasingly unreliable. It makes up almost every second answer, forgets context, or is just downright wrong. Maybe I am used these days more and more to dump huge texts for context into the prompt, a

Thank you for the thoughtful reply. Your argument hinges on a very human-centric metric for value: the ability to conceptually "understand the universe." But what if that's a narrow and self-serving definition of success? You

You're framing this as a matter of consciousness and stewardship, but I believe that perspective misinterprets the fundamental mechanisms of life and overlooks humanity's actual role on this planet. Firstly, your argument about &q

Just thinking of bacteria who possibly escaped planet earth at sometime. Given this argument, such bacteria would be classified more intelligent than humans.

The biggest migration challenge isn't finding one-to-one replacements for software, but rebuilding tested workflows and processes. For years, I've had a seamless document management process on Windows for all my receipts and bills

I don't trust Windows with my SSH keys. Since about 2 years, I am actively preparing my final migration to Linux. There's some Windows software left that I need to replace before this move is possible, but I am close.

I am willing to buy AI Hardware (=TUPs/GPUs) and put it in my own rack at home, powered by my own pv plant. My limit would be (atm) about 10k, but I would expect a quality level / feature set on par with aistudio's 1 Million

We are in Germany, which has the highest inspection standards. The tires have passed every inspection. They look like new, but I will still replace them soon, just in case. I am writing this because most people cannot imagine that a 900 kg

I first changed the brakes on my Mitsubishi Space Star (combustion) after 13 years. It is a small car, less than 1000kg, so there is little for the brakes to do. If we produced more percentage of small cars, many environmental risks would b

I agree, and I've heard the same. In my experience, knee problems always disappeared with moderate running. Of course, you have to allow yourself time to recover after running. But as far as I know, the science is that joint lubricatio

This. I only use AI for the things I don't want to do: tax, reporting, filling forms etc. You name it. For anything attributed to me as a creative person, I write myself. Volume vise, this is comparable to the 80% (tax, reporting, fill

I have been using Kea on pfSense CE for a long time — I think it was version 23.0.x. Or you mean 3.0 in particular? I also have OPNsense and I am not completely convinced of their aggressive update strategy yet. For a firewall, I prefer sta

So if I have my own Mastodon instance, should I configure my nginx to serve a specific "cleaned up" version if accessed from the US or the embassy's IP?
