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.

No, I’m sorry, but the nest of relationships here goes much deeper than “Yglesias writes approvingly about effective altruism.” In 2022, a constellation of people started pushing “popularism,” effective altruism, “pandemic response,” and SBF personally all at pretty much the same time.

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...

Nicușor Dan won after an incredible campaign that culminated in an unexpectedly clear reversal of the first round vote. He also won because of the remarkable mobilization of many Romanian citizens, who drove the record turnout. But let us not get dizzy with success:

Has anyone written a good explainer for what the unidata furlough means for downstream users?

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"
