Normcore LLM Reads

Anti-hype LLM reading list

Goals: Add links that are reasonable and good explanations of how stuff works. No hype and no vendor content if possible. Practical first-hand accounts of models in prod eagerly sought.

Web mapping applications with multiple layers

Suggestions from Twitter for more "elegant" web mapping applications

Specifically I'm looking for web mapping applications that include multiple layers and don't look like an ArcGIS clone -- perhaps something that looks like it was designed by a designer rather than a GIS tech :) This is a list of responses from Twitter, many of which do look GIS-y so more suggestions are welcome...

Using multipart/form-data with Power Query. This assumes that any files being uploaded are textual; changing this to support arbitrary binary data is possible, but wasn't interesting to me.
