From Lat/Lon to Hexagons and Neighbourhoods: Learning H3 with Madrid

How a bird-sighting anomaly project turned into a reusable H3 geospatial demo. When you work with geospatial data, you quickly run into this question: I have latitude and longitude… now what? This article is a practical walk-through of a Jupyter notebook that answers exactly that, using H3 and Madrid as a playground. The notebook originally […]

JSON vs TOON: Is your data format really the problem?

Lately my feed is full of posts claiming that TOON cuts LLM token usage by 30–60% and that JSON is basically “legacy bloat”. As someone who spends her days helping customers bring AI into production at Oracle, I was curious… but also a bit skeptical. So instead of arguing in the comments, I opened a

This marks the start of a new chapter: OCI leading AI infrastructure, industry apps rebuilt with AI agents, and Safra’s legacy of growth. But here’s the big question: ➡️ Can a dual-CEO model accelerate innovation?➡️ Should tech companies prioritize bold visionaries at the top or disciplined operators who ensure flawless execution? Oracle’s future looks bright.
