How far can I get using AI in cartography? I drove Canada's Icefields Parkway last month, and want to make a poster map of it. Can AI help, and do it well? I started on my phone, then realised it needed more than that and moved to the desktop. AI-first: Claude, a bit of ChatGPT. A thread... 🧵🗺️

New feature in the Positron Notebook Editor: Inline data-explorer view. Whenever you print a pandas or polars dataframe you get an inline interactive view powered by Positron's data explorer. This allows you to view and sort massive dataframes.
