I made this because I couldn’t do exactly what I needed with xarray. (Though in the months its taken be to write some docs, stackstac’s come a long way, so you might want to check it out instead https://t.co/pLqJMphS6j)

Recently my Twitter timeline has been completely taken over by artwork generated with @OpenAI's CLIP model. So I figured I'd write a blog post about it. In the blog I follow the evolution of this art scene and present some cool artwork along the way

We see this as building on and complimenting the work we've done together with our NGO partners & clients. Projects like @TraseEarth create transparency and shape how companies think about supply chains

Excited to share that we're branching out to work on food chain sustainability at @Vizzuality. Reducing impacts isn't simple, but we have a bunch of ideas that we think will make it easier for corporate leaders to plot a path to a sustainable future
We can't solve climate change without sustainable food. To help companies manage these risks and meet #sustainability targets, we’re partnering with @SatelligenceEO & @SEIresearch to build new tools. https://t.co/LNi3c7FTxs
