We cut the monthly cost of vector search for Earth Index from about $12,000 to about $2,000. That’s $10,000 a month saved by moving from sharded Postgres+VectorChord to Lancelot, a small Rust service that reads Lance files from S3 and keeps only the indexes on local disk. It searches about 3.5 billion geospatial embeddings per year of data, with cold-start searches taking a couple of seconds. Read the full write-up https://lnkd.in/edarNQKD

Building a multiscale GeoZarr pyramid for the entire planet at 10 m resolution shouldn’t require tens of gigabytes of RAM. With the right design, it can be done with far less. At #CNG2026 next week, Federico Oldani will present Terrazarr, the open-source Python package we developed to generate the GeoZarr version of the World Settlement Footprint.

LLM-based agents can do a lot of tasks. Or, at least, they can appear to do them. For example, they write code, summarize papers, plan trips, and fill in forms. If you ask one for a probability or a confidence score, it will give you one of those too. I have seen many agent designers use LLMs to generate confidence scores in this way. The problem is that there is no good reason to trust that number. This post is about why we cannot rely on an LLM to generate a confidence score.

A conversation about climate adaptation, recorded in Zurich at the peak of this summer’s heatwave. Our co-founder Stephan Heuel joined Lisa Stähli and Helen Droz on Hello 50:50 World to talk about how data, modeling and people from very different fields can work together on adaptation. Really fun episode to listen to, thanks to Lisa for the invitation.

I have a wholly newfound respect and admiration for indie developers that build and manage beautiful, complex apps by themselves (👋🏻 @caseyliss). I have written lots of code, some for large projects used at massive scale, but always as part of a team.

I am now in the home stretch, focused on accessibility, bug fixes, and performance improvements. I have never been so mentally exhausted…⚙️🐛👨🏻💻
