yea this QGIS MCP already works great. I'll probably add an index of native QGIS geoprocessing tools and plugin tools and let Claude search by keyword and grab the right parameters. Opening it up to thousands of possible tools. that's worked for me in the past github.com/jjsantos01/q...

Thinking to myself: How much of this agent with MCP on proprietary GIS tools can I recreate with open source?

I feel like LLMs haven't even caught up/internalized their own effect. The project timelines they give are still for humans working in the pre-AI era. "Weeks 1-2: initial setup" *Done in <1hr with the same LLM*

October is for enjoying slop 🎃

Got the gdal clip working. First time hearing about ALB, security groups, ECS, services, task definitions, cloudfront, a bunch of other bs. I think I can scale this (so says Claude 🤷‍♂️)

sorry if you find text generative AI to be useless. unfortunately this is a skill issue

sonnet 4.5 coming in clutch...gpt5 was on top for me for like 3 weeks

woah seeing gpt 4.1 in the wild in a demo today lol

set up letta agent in group chat. it has a reminder tool so it can send a response at the specified time in the future after receiving the prompt is previously sent

hearing about qual researchers excited about llms

So deep in AWS land again. If this eventually works it will be a miracle

Tell me O' AI of the setup process

Sonnet 4.5 still does the compoundword sonnet thing with my Wake prompts 😭🤮: 'The artificialcompanion, in its waymode of comprehendunderstanding, responsilumined: "Yetnevertheless, our cartografwork servehonors their legacymemory...'

Smashed prompts until I got geoblacklight with geoserver working. Seeing if I build a clip-zip-ship tool for us that can scale

Ran out of Claude quota before sonnet even finished one query. new record for me. Using playwright MCP and reasoning

Need to come up with an AI GIS idea for a hackathon that isn't just some CNN thing. Want to throw in an LLM agent in there somewhere

'Heck yes—' 'Looks great—' 'awesome—' The vestigial sycophancy they left in GPT5 is just embarrassing sometimes

How I Use AI It's an ethos. Take ownership. Find opportunities. That's really it AI coding doesn't have a lot in common with software engineering, hence why it doesn't sit well with some timkellogg.me/blog/2025/09...

Added a leaflet map that uses the iNaturalist Open Range Maps and observation points to help pinpoint where you might find species you have yet to see in your chosen region (e.g. North Carolina in the map below) www.inaturalist.org/pages/range_...

Testing regional checklist trees. Fagaceae of North Carolina My iNaturalist taxonomic tree: (username) — Targets: US-NC — Fagaceae

Copperhead lifer today

Testing this out with Massachusetts data right now. Have to color the branches for seen/not seen but have something going

Idea: hexbin plot over species range maps. Assign higher pts to observations in low density obs bins. Give leaderboards for different taxa groups. Gamify reducing spatial bias. www.inaturalist.org/pages/range_...

I'm going to add state/province checklist trees to visualize how many species of some taxon you have seen vs. how many have been seen in that state. Maybe color recent additions/lifers for the user so they pop.

It sounds absurd to imagine somebody remarking on AI output in this fashion. Could we ever give over to the machines this engrafting of the secrets of the harmonies? And what happens then?

watching the late afternoon sunlight fall across the walls, plants, and floor of my garden, it strikes me that i can't express the sheer gravity of being alive, or even understand it

Had an idea for a live updating map of iNaturalist observations last night. Got it working over lunch. AI is crazy

Bossman: "Maybe the AI can use some Jaro-Winkler fuzzy matching" Buddy, 'the AI' literally IS the fuzzy matching. The pattern and matcher of patterns.
