This is interesting, is there a reference implementation that exists somewhere? Will there be a fork of tippecanoe that can encode these files or something different?

We are finishing up the CLI for encoding tiles for public release: https://github.com/maplibre/maplibre-tile-spec/pull/504 Likely a project like Planetiler will integrate this.

Still needs some work on the documentation side. There will be a separate announcement when it is done. We have a newsletter that we share on all the common social networks. https://maplibre.org/news/

Aside from getting the encoding side ready so tile providers can start to make MapLibre Tiles available, we are focussed on integrating the decoder in MapLibre GL JS (MapLibre for the web) and MapLibre Native (Android, iOS and other platforms). ETA is sometime near the end of 2025.

I work as a maintainer for MapLibre, let me know if you have any other questions about the project!

How does it compare to Gitlab?
dzogchen · 12 days ago
Much simpler. Much less features. Completely open source and not only the core.

Say it with me: freely downloadable model weights does not mean a model is open source. https://opensource.org/ai/open-source-ai-definition

  System Requirements
  Works literally everywhere
Haha, on one of my machines my python version is too old, and the package/dependencies don't want to install.

On another machie the python version is too new, and the package/dependencies don't want to install.

Such an ignorant thing to say for something that requires 25MB RAM.

Oh my God this is auto translation business is so incredibly annoying. Especially for people that know multiple languages. But I imagine it is the worst for people who are trying to learn another language...

Layoffs are a difficult thing for employees and their managers. I have seen people (one was a VP of Engineering) escorted out of the building, sent in a cab to home along with a security guard (this was in India), not allowed access to computer or talk with other employees. But, recently have had a very different experience. The current company I work for announced 30% layoffs. The list was made public within one hour of announcement. The CEO detailed the process of selecting people. The severance was very generous (3-6 months pay) along with health and other benefits. The impacted employees were allowed to keep the laptop and any other assets they took from the company. They even paid the same severance to contractors.

After the announcement, the laid off employees were given a few days in the company to allow them to say good byes. I love the CEOs comment on this ' I trusted them yesterday, I trust them today'. This was by far the kindest way of laying off employees imo. People were treated with dignity and respect.

This is just so wild for me as an European, because at least in Germany if you get fired (or if you quit) you need to stay 1 - 3 MONTHS at the company still.

Worst part of GitHub Actions? Its encouragement of the total misuse of containers as what have essentially become installer scripts - complete with all the flakiness you'd imagine.

Go look at your workflows and see how much of the runtime is spent running installers upon installers for various languages, package managers and so on. Containers were not supposed to be like this.

Well the default GitHub images come with the kitchen sink, so for most projects you don’t need to install much if anything.
