New #GLaDpodcast episode: #embeddings for the rest of us! Join @rsfrankl.bsky.social, @levijohnwolf.bsky.social and yours truly for a (hopefully) “lay enough” conversation about one of the most interesting ideas in geo-data that the last few years have produced. www.podbean.com/eas/pb-8ebk6...

New episode of the one and only #GLaDpodcast. For this one, @rsfrankl.bsky.social , @levijohnwolf.bsky.social and yours truly dust off our oracles to speculate what 2026 (whatever is left of it anyway) has in store for Geography, Life, Geography Life, and Data! www.podbean.com/eas/pb-8urep...

In this episode, Anthony offers up one of the most incisive analogies about AI I've heard so far—really do give this a listen!

🚨📣 We have a new paper with Emmanouil Tranos & @levijohnwolf.bsky.social in the Journal of #Economic #Geography linking #internet speeds to #firm level #productivity benefits. There is a 2% productivity boost pulling slowest to fastest speeds across #UK LAs 👀👇 #geosky #econsky 📈📉 shorturl.at/NJ4rE

Fast and furious: the productivity effects of the geography of experienced internet speeds

Abstract. The link between digital technologies and productivity has long intrigued researchers. Key to unpacking this relationship is detailed data connec

I gotta say I find a lot of AI discourse around higher ed very confusing. "if ChatGPT can write your essays is college even worth it?" did people think math teachers were assigning problem sets because *they* couldn't figure out the answers?

I've just had the most surreal experience: I googled a relatively niche question about an academic topic and got an AI response paraphrasing *my own* crossvalidated (the stats stack overflow) answer from years prior.

Ep. 2 of our "Navigating the Shoals of the Academic Job Market" is live! we dive into putting an application together, what interviews might be like, and share @rsfrankl.bsky.social , @darribas.bsky.social and I share our experiences in these rough and wild waters! open.spotify.com/episode/2PNm...

It is so constraining to write in a TUI... I'm finally admitting that git+vim+Hugo is a bit masochistic for me, and have moved blog.ljwolf.org back to Tumblr. Just having an iOS app already means it's 1000x easier to keep up to date!

Thanks again #GISRUK2025 for coming by!

New episode of the #GLaD podcast just dropped, Time (mis)management. Everything you always wanting to know (or not) about why we (@rsfrankl.bsky.social, @levijohnwolf.bsky.social and yours truly) are always late, and maybe that’s OK… gladpodcast.podbean.com/e/episode-21...

🎙️ New #GLaDpodcast episode! @darribas.bsky.social, @levijohnwolf.bsky.social and I are joined by the amazing @geoffboeing.com (@priceschool.usc.edu) to talk streets, disasters, urban form & open source software. It's a pretty good one, if I do say so myself. #geosky open.spotify.com/episode/4H6K...

This HN thread on @anthropic.com asking job applicants to not use AI is fascinating… I've seen talented LLM-loving students plateau & burn out on problems the LLM bungles. Seems I'm not alone. Even if LLMs improve, will that plateau ever go away? I doubt it. news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4291...

We're nearing the deadline, too! Come join us for a rad time in Bristol this April!
