“We will build 100 gigawatts of solar panels as quickly as possible. That is my directive and my decision, and we will prove to the world that we can move faster.”

Immense planning and technical precision was required for this absolutely preposterous (but real) view: I captured my friend @BlackGryph0n transiting the sun during a skydive.

This might be the first photo of it's kind in existence. See a video of this moment in the reply 👇

🚀 Big news in the DuckDB spatial world!

The DuckDB spatial extension has just added support for ST_AsMVT and ST_AsMVTGeom. This functionality will be included in DuckDB v1.4 (releasing next week 🎉).

We will be able to stream vector tiles directly from DuckDB using large vector datasets (e.g., GeoParquet) stored in the cloud. This makes building scalable geospatial applications faster and more efficient than ever.

👏 Huge kudos to Max Gabrielsson for the incredible work on this feature!

Sample code for DuckDB Vector Tile Serve w/ Flask + MapLibre:

Solar overtakes gas to become Hungary's second-largest electricity source—

A decade ago, solar power was almost non-existent in Hungary. It generated just 0.2% of the country’s electricity. Nuclear, coal, and gas dominated the grid.

But in the last ten years, things have changed a lot. You can see this in the chart: solar power has boomed, and now supplies one-quarter of Hungary’s electrical power. In 2024, it overtook gas to become the second-largest source of electricity, after nuclear.

Coal power has been largely displaced, first by gas and now by solar. This has helped cut the country’s CO2 emissions by 45% since 1990.

Angelina came into this world in 2022 — during a Russian shelling. Yesterday, Russia killed her and her mother. They were among the dead in a missile strike on Kyiv.

Another Ukrainian child who never knew peace.
