New project! I've always felt climate projections were a bit too abstract. To make them more concrete, I identified North American cities that already experience the projected temperature and precipitation of Canadian cities. And the result is... 😳

Bad air quality caused by Western wildfires for 54 communities this morning, mainly in Southern Ontario and Quebec. And summer hasn't even started yet... Link to our climate dashboard in the comments.

Just updated our Climate Dashboard this morning to add air quality warnings. The smoke from all of those fires out West is being pushed East by the winds. It's pretty bad to breathe in Northern Manitoba and Ontario right now.

Back in March 2025, I attended the fantastic NICAR session "My first LLM classifier" by @palewire and @derekwillis. They showed us how to categorize claim expenses using LLMs (like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude). 🤯

It was eye-opening, but all in Python. And you know my love for TypeScript! 🤓 So, I added new features to the Simple Data Analysis library, and Ben kindly let me reproduce his tutorial. The result? A spiced-up version that crunches data at full-speeeeeeed! 🚀
