Satellite image deep learningChallenges and opportunities for Ai mappingIn this episode I caught up with Tobias Augspurger to explore the Map Your Grid initiative at Open Energy Transition, an ambitious project funded by Breakthrough Energy to build a digital twin of the global electrical grid. While AI and machine learning are being used to detect substations, pylons, and transmission lines in satellite imagery, Toby explains why these approaches alone can’t deliver a complete, accurate map. We discussed the false positives, missing connections, and contextual details that challenge automated models, and how human validation and open-source mapping remain essential to producing reliable, global-scale infrastructure data. * 👤 Toby...

The Python Podcast.__init__Pandas Extension Arrays with Tom AugspurgerSummary
Pandas is a swiss army knife for data processing in Python but it has long been difficult to customize. In the latest release there is now an extension interface for adding custom data types with namespaced APIs. This allows for building and combining domain specific use cases and alternative storage mechanisms. In this episode Tom Augspurger describes how the new ExtensionArray works, how it came to be, and how you can start building your own extensions today.
