Web maps are still fun

Playing with Hermes Agent at Starbucks yesterday - I wanted to look at USGS S1M DEM data for the Tetons. Here's what Hermes and Kimi-K2.7 generated.

Amazing terrain relief at 1m resolution.

AI agents like Hermes can ad hoc generate just about any GIS tool desired.

Hermes is amazingly good at exploring public data resources. Here is what Hermes generated for NASA planetary WMTS data, a web viewer and then a writeup of the process!
Upped to kimi-k2.7 to save tokens.

Hermes is incredibly fun to explore with!

@Teknium Using Hermes to build a NASA GIBS viewer with webui from my phone. Hermes running on Nvidia nano dev board $250 and kimi-k2.6.

"Building this with Hermes Agent is just a conversation and a few minutes."

Notice how the South African President’s Cabinet hung their heads in total SHAME as Trump played videos of their party calling for the genocide of whites at the White House.

They refused to even watch.

What a perfect metaphor. Trump is a genius…

I discovered Claude Code a couple weeks ago. Just an amazing experience. How would the experience with Gemini 2.5 Code compare with Claude Code /Claude 3.7 ?
I've heard Gemini2.5 has an edge on coding over Claude, but I've never run across an issue with repeated fix requests looping in Claude Code.

Reminds me of this quote from David Middleton:

"In one poem, a headmaster converses with a mother who wants assurance that the school will provide her son good connections, elite college admission, and job success. When the headmaster speaks of the school’s tough curriculum, but adds that success “is not an end on which we dwell,” we get this final stanza:"

“Then what,” quipped she, “is your primary goal?”
(Miffed and bewildered, letting out her breath);
And he, “To tend to body, mind, and soul
And to prepare him, in a word, for death.”

@MattWalshBlog @megbasham The best scene of the movie is with the Jamaican emigre garage mechanic and grandfather. When asked about the book "White Fragility" he brushed away the silly question with a simple I only read my bible.

@roddreher @BDSixsmith And what replaces Christianity? A benign labell "nones" veils the darker violence and tyranny of neopaganism.

Don’t Do Unto Others What We Would Have Done to Them?

Once more, it gets even creepier how the projectionist Left is daily still shrieking about impending Trump “revenge” and “rage”, or about Trump’s purported enemies lists to come, or about his planned weaponization of the bureaucracies. The fear is in direct proportion to Biden cognitive decline, sinking polls, and walls-are-closing-in family corruption.

Should we laugh or cry about the transparent hypocrisy?

After all, who tried to wreck an administration with a 22-month-long Russian “collusion” fraud, suppressed a laptop with the lie it was Russian “disinformation”, or impeached a president for a phone call correctly identifying the Biden family’s operation in Ukraine as utterly corrupt and at the expense of U.S. interests?

Do we recall that the Obama-Biden nexus—from 2009-17, and from 2021 until now—cemented the reputation of FBI as a partisan operation, rebooted the Pentagon as an agent of woke change ferreting out “white rage” and “white privilege”, reinvented the DOJ as a Biden family protection service, politicized the CIA so that it, along with the FBI, interfered in the 2016 and 2020 elections, and warped the IRS by suppressing evidence of Biden family tax fraud?

What Lois Lerner, Eric Holder (self-identified as Obama’s “wingman”), and Loretta Lynch left undone was taken up by Merrick Garland.

Does the New York Times, or Joe Scarborough or any of these strange pundits raging about Trump rage to come remember how the “Logan Act” farce was used to destroy Michael Flynn?

Or the Foreign Policy essay of Rosa Brooks, a former Obama-era Pentagon lawyer, about how to drive out Trump without waiting for the 2020 election, by either impeachment, the 25thAmendment—or a military coup?

How about the “kill Trump” porn that saw celebrities, actors, and academics envisioning decapitating, stabbing, shooting, exploding, or incinerating the orange man?

How about Anonymous’s confessions about how fellow bureaucrats were trying to undermine and sabotage the operations of the Trump administration from within? Or the Pentagon’s retired 4-stars calling for Trump to be removed the “sooner the better”, or labeling him a Mussolini or Nazi-like figure?

Who paid Twitter millions to censor the news of political opponents?

Who paid foreign national Christopher Steele to peddle a fake dossier to destroy the 2016 Republican candidate?

Do we remember Biden’s Phantom-of-the-Opera harangue about his “ultra-MAGA” and “semi-fascists” political enemies?

Were not the twin pillars of Biden’s current foreign policy team, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, and Secretary of State Antony Blinken, once respectively knee-deep in the anti-Trump Alfa Bank-ping hoax and the “51 Intelligence Authorities” laptop scam?

Again, the reason the media and politicians are terrified is that they are convinced Trump would do exactly what they would do in his place—and what they would do utterly suddenly horrifies them.

@rowancheung Wow, so Microsoft just bought OpenAi for the relatively small cost of hiring 490 new employees. Amazing coup!
