The reason AI still “feels dumb” sometimes? It’s not intelligence. It’s entropy. Humans intuitively fill in missing context tone, goals, emotion. Machines can’t. Context engineering exists to translate our messy, high-entropy world into something machines can actually reason about.

🚨 RIP “Prompt Engineering.” The GAIR team just dropped Context Engineering 2.0 — and it completely reframes how we think about human–AI interaction. Forget prompts. Forget “few-shot.” Context is the real interface. Here’s the core idea: “A person is the sum of their contexts.” Machines aren’t failing because they lack intelligence. They fail because they lack context-processing ability. Context Engineering 2.0 maps this evolution: 1.0 Context as Translation Humans adapt to computers. 2.0 Context as Instruction LLMs interpret natural language. 3.0 Context as Scenario Agents understand your goals. 4.0 Context as World AI proactively builds your environment. We’re in the middle of the 2.0 → 3.0 shift right now. The jump from “context-aware” to “context-cooperative” systems changes everything from memory design to multi-agent collaboration. This isn’t a buzzword. It’s the new foundation for the AI era. Read the paper: arxiv. org/abs/2510.26493v1

📯 I’m excited to share the news about my upcoming book: 📘 Spatial Data Management with DuckDB: From SQL Basics to Advanced Geospatial Analytics This book builds upon my Spatial Data Management course (geog-414.gishub.org) at the University of Tennessee and is designed for GIS analysts, data scientists, and spatial developers who want to harness the power of DuckDB for modern geospatial workflows. Whether you’re transitioning from traditional GIS software, managing massive spatial datasets, or integrating spatial analysis into modern data pipelines, this hands-on guide provides the practical examples and workflows you need to get started. 🔗 GitHub Repository: github.com/giswqs/duckdb-spa… 🌐 Book Website: duckdb.gishub.org The book will be released later this month, and all code examples will be freely available on GitHub. Stay tuned for updates! #DuckDB #Geospatial #Python #SQL #DataScience #OpenSource

Publication bias is greater at the top five journals: "56% of statistically significant results [in leading econ journals] were selected to be statistically significant. Selection bias is greater at top5 journals, where 66% of significant results were selected to be significant."

In the absence of gov't jobs data, this matters more than ever: In 2022, SIEPR's @erikbryn and his @DigEconLab worked with ADP to produce near real-time employment stats. Everything you need to know about about this work, and how it compares to @BLS_gov, is here. 👇 adpresearch.com/how-represen…

Starship will build Moonbase Alpha
SPACEX: Starship ready to take humanity’s first permanent step beyond Earth • Starship is designed to establish a permanent human presence beyond Earth, including lunar and planetary outposts; • Chosen for NASA’s Artemis program, it will land the first astronauts on the Moon in over 50 years; • Single Starship has over 600 m³ of pressurized volume, dual airlocks, and can land up to 100 tons of cargo; • SpaceX is self-funding >90% of Starship development, including production, test, and launch infrastructure; • Core Starship system has completed numerous test milestones, including multiple flights, propellant transfers in space, and engine relights; • HLS (Human Landing System) team has completed 49 milestones, including life support, landing software, Raptor engine tests, and EVA elevator/airlock demos; • Next major steps: long-duration flight test and on-orbit propellant transfer to enable Artemis lunar mission architecture; • Starship V3 equipped with docking ports, DragonEye sensors, and on-orbit refueling capabilities; • NASA selected Starship for Artemis III and IV missions, ensuring a permanent return to the Moon; • Starship enables a sustainable, reusable, cost-effective path for frequent lunar missions and future Mars exploration

Training LLMs end to end is hard. Very excited to share our new blog (book?) that cover the full pipeline: pre-training, post-training and infra. 200+ pages of what worked, what didn’t, and how to make it run reliably huggingface.co/spaces/Huggin…

A Chinese cyber gang spent over a year hiding inside ArcGIS — the trusted mapping software — without anyone noticing. 😳 No fancy malware, just a sneaky tweak to a legit server extension that turned into a backdoor. Even system restores brought them back like a bad ex. 💀 And yet someone somewhere still says, “Proprietary software is more secure.” 😂

Geospatial Foundation Models are the geospatial space's answer to LLMs. But do they actually add value? Let's take a look:
