24:39 - Remote storage connections and example of data analyst work
27:15 - How marimo is used by various scientific disciplines and using Anywidget in marimo
31:45 - Use of marimo in an enterprise context for GPU compute, roadmap comments and creative freedom the tool enables
35:37 - Using marimo to defeat the Esri monopoly in geospatial: if you are David, play a different game than Goliath, again the point that marimo/molab offers creative freedom to sponaneously poke around in the data
42:27 - How to use GPUs in marimo, limitations of this
47:55 - Using AI to control marimo
