First slide from the presentation I gave last Monday at AGU--this thread is based on that presentation. Slide shows the title "The Role of Water in Intermediate Depth Seismicity from Observations of Colombia's Cauca Cluster" and key takeaway: "Unusual earthquakes highlight pathway from a slab source to a mantle sink." As well as a blue graphic showing where water exists the slab from 0 to 200 km depth according to a thermal model of the region, the biggest pulse occurs at about 130 km depth. Also shows my name and affiliation plus those of my coauthors.
Let's talk about earthquakes in the mantle--a place where earthquakes should not be.

Palantir co-founder Peter Thiel spent $15 million helping JD Vance win a U.S. Senate seat.
That investment is clearly continuing to pay off.
Big money corrupts our politics and erodes our democracy — creating a vicious cycle that funnels more wealth and power to the top.

The Pentagon just announced a no-bid contract that will be awarded to Palantir for "the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into the field of geospatial intelligence."
This means Palantir will have unprecedented access to maps, satellite imagery, GPS data, and more.

All the data I am working with should fit in less than half of my computers' ram.
No double copy.
No using the hard drive as extra ram.
No lingering processes eating up CPU when no calculation is ongoing.

Does this answer pass the vibe check? I clicked on "Search" to let it browse the web and not make stuff up.

It is not really about the name of the model. (Right now I use o3-mini-high for some things and o1 pro deep research for others).
It is really that at any point in time they have gated models that work and generally available models that are barely useful "best effort" demos.

Using the free/cheapest version is like rolling your own geocoder, it only looks like it working but the edge cases get you.
If it is not too much, try the $200/month tier for a month, that could bring it up to 50% success rate.

Spatial indexes, and RTrees specifically, are at the core of geospatial software.
But ever wondered how an RTree is actually implemented?
In this post we’ll dive into the implementation of Flatbush, an elegant, blazing-fast, memory-efficient RTree.
