This EO is a lot of words for a rule that basically says, political appointees will overrule scientists in deciding what the government considers factual information.

Can AI weather models predict out-of-distribution gray swan extremes? We report @pnas.org that the answer is NO for global gray swans, YES for regional ones: AI models can't extrapolate from weaker events but can learn from similar events in other regions during training! doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

Like any good millennial i don’t talk on the phone much. Which means that ~80% of my phone conversations are with my wife or my parents. Which means there is a very high chance that when i do talk to, say, a car mechanic, I will end the conversation with a “Love you, bye”,

A few conversations with people i trust have convinced me that I should try using AI / LLMs to aid coding. What are some AI/LLM + IDE combinations that people like? (Not even sure that’s the right question) I mostly use python for geosciences (pangeo stack) and data science/stats

Random thoughts on names in climate science. - "Effective Forcing" vs "Efficacy of forcing" = giant source of confusion. - It should be SherwoodWebb et al 2020, not just Sherwood et al 2020. - The "Held two-layer model" should be called the "Gregory-Held two-layer model"

On the topics of cars vs bike and pedestrian safety 🚴: I know there is a robust conversation on bsky about the dangers of right on red. That being said, as a pedestrian i’ve had some recent close calls when cars take a very confident left on green (no arrow) through a walk sign.
