Earlier this summer at @CSVCONF Catalyst member @ZaneSelvans gave a talk about worker co-ops as an organizational model for creating public interest technology -- open data supporting the #EnergyTransition in our case. We&#39;ve turned it into a blog post (with the embedded video): https://catalyst.coop/2024/08/13/workplace-democracy-and-open-source/

We&#39;re developing some interactive, in-browser @marimo_io #DataViz notebooks in the PUDL Data Viewer. They&#39;re definitely not ready for prime-time yet, but if you&#39;re up for some alpha testing, we&#39;d love feedback. The first one lets you explore plant-level EIA data. #Energy #Electricity https://data.catalyst.coop/secret-examples

Wow. Last week a bunch of new people discovered our free, public FERC EQR Parquet dataset on S3. It details billions of US electricity transactions covering 2013Q3-2025Q4. They downloaded more than 2 TB of data. #Energy #OpenData #Electricity

Deep Agents is an open source project from LangChain to let anybody build their own model-agnostic agent harness (tools like Claude Code or Codex). Love that the mascot of their (proof-of-concept) CLI is a (presumably stochastic) parrot. 🦜 https://github.com/langchain-ai/deepagents

Really good discussion between @squidfunk &amp; @mkennedy on @talkpython about the origins, goals, and status of @zensical Looking forward to trying it out and looking at migrating our docs from Sphinx once it&#39;s more fully baked. Hopefully there will be a Sphinx migration path! #Python #FOSS https://talkpython.fm/episodes/show/542/zensical-a-modern-static-site-generator
