🔥🔥🔥We are arming China!?

You have to hear @DAlperovitch (fresh from his congressional testimony on China policy) explain our current strategy towards China and Artificial Intelligence, you will walk away questioning everything!

He lays out some key perspectives CRITICAL for leaders in the National Security space to understand including answering the following:

What is behind our AI strategy with China?

Is AI the “Nuclear Weapon” of our time?

Are we in a geopolitical cold war?

What can most people and organizations do to protect themselves from emerging AI Cyber threats?

Dmitri Alperovitch is a Russian-born American cybersecurity expert, entrepreneur, and co-founder of CrowdStrike, where he previously served as Chief Technology Officer.

He is also the co-founder and chairman of the Silverado Policy Accelerator, focusing on geopolitics, emerging technology, and national security.

I'm excited to introduce GeoLibre, a lightweight, cloud-native desktop GIS built with MapLibre GL JS and Tauri.

GeoLibre is designed for modern geospatial workflows, combining the flexibility of web technologies with the performance of a native desktop application. The current prototype includes a MapLibre-powered map workspace, local vector data import, project persistence, and built-in plugins for basemaps, layer control, swipe, street view, lidar, GeoAgent, and GeoEditor integrations.

GeoLibre can run directly in a web browser or as a standalone cross-platform desktop application (<30 MB).

@MarioNawfal why did they cover up all the Meta data?

Python can now render a 3D satellite timelapse of any part of the world, draping Sentinel-2 imagery over Copernicus DEM terrain with soft transitions and an orbiting camera. Built with forge3d

Terrain impacts nearly every project. Luckily, Google Earth’s measure tool just got a major upgrade. Introducing elevation profiles. https://t.co/strPGePtP1

Simply draw a line, as you always have, to instantly generate a detailed and interactive elevation profile in the inspector panel. Whether you are tackling complex route and transportation planning, conducting viewshed analysis, or mapping out logistics for heavy machinery, you can now instantly contextualize terrain dips and peaks directly on the map.

Major updates to OpenGeoPub: https://t.co/eZmLAjCWCV

OpenGeoPub now supports reading books directly online, in addition to downloading them as PDF or EPUB. This makes it much easier to search, browse, and navigate content seamlessly.

The platform is also fully optimized for mobile devices, so you can read your books anytime, anywhere.

There’s a lot of discussions right now about maps due to the SCOTUS decision on the Voting Rights Act and gerrymandering in Virginia, Florida, Louisiana, California and basically everywhere…

But remember kids, it’s easy to lie with maps!

[Sawyer Merritt @SawyerMerritt]

This deserves more attention, because it’s a really cool @Starlink use case.

They’re using collars on cattle that connect to Starlink satellites in space, allowing ranchers to create and adjust a “virtual fence” in real time right from their phone in the middle of nowhere. You don't need to be close to a radio tower anymore. Literally no-one has done this before.

[Nick @ndsshow]

@jamestalarico How?

[Nick @ndsshow]

@DeptofWar @PeteHegseth Come on guys…at least make the Chinese work to build their target decks. You want to drop all the coordinates too!? 😳

[Nick @ndsshow]

@US_Stormwatch I live somewhere on this map and it rained cats and dogs ALL NIGHT, and has been raining all week - I get how drought works and do not need a lecture on how data works - but this map very likely needs to be updated.

Unless that is inconvenient for your narrative?
