Hosting in-house isn't free. It takes staff to maintain. Electricity. Cooling. Periodic upgrades. Those computers won't poof into existence. And cloud services are also used for bursty jobs, like running 100s of models off the data simultaneously. That's not usually efficient to run in-house.

davidjamos.bsky.social•14 hours ago

emoontxwriter.bsky.social•19 hours ago

So we will have to rely on commercial weather prediction by people who don't have access to the unique skills and computing skills of NOAA. DAMN. Way to blindside us just before hurricane season.

clmerle.bsky.social•14 hours ago

And they rely on NOAA data. So I don’t how that’s going to work unless they make stuff up.

emoontxwriter.bsky.social•14 hours ago

Exactly. NOAA had access to large computers with the ability to make and display high-resolution models, based on realtime data, which were used by both citizens (we checked NOAA every day when challenging weather was expected) and other weather forecasters.

emoontxwriter.bsky.social•14 hours ago

This was, of course, costly: many terabytes of data in and out, capable of displaying accurately. So of course it was targeted by (redacting names) because mere *parasites* don't deserve accurate weather forecasting. (Yes, I'm angry.) THERE IS NO COMMERCIAL EQUIVALENT. If there ever is

emoontxwriter.bsky.social•14 hours ago

IT WILL COST MORE. Killing a program like that, in the face of a nation subject to many kinds of violent and deadly weather is, in my view (and I"m not a lawyer) premeditated murder...of those on the ground, those in the air in aircraft, those in the water in ships.

clmerle.bsky.social•14 hours ago

Cutting NIH and USAID also falls under the premeditated murder category, interrupting medical trials and stopping nutrition aid to starving infants. I might throw in the word eugenics too. Although they may have given no thought or care of the devastating consequences of their premeditated actions.

clmerle.bsky.social•14 hours ago

There is an effort to save as much data from the NOAA sites go offline. Who knows where any new data is going to be collected? Weather balloon launches have been cut way back.

I hate to bring this up, but a large percentage of felon 47s red meat base consists of evangelicals who want the planet Earth to be destroyed as soon as possible and their lives ended in cataclysmic pain and death, so that they can "enjoy" what they refer to as "the rapture". American Taliban.

kmbailey59.bsky.social•15 hours ago

It's true. "The end is near" people are trying their damnedest to make it happen. The other part of all this is that we need to be a Christian theocracy in order for Jesus to return. I wonder how long he'd last before they killed him again.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Civilization has not yet fallen beyond repair. More like "in the process of falling". But that doesn't mean it can't get back up or check its fall before it hits the ground, kind of like the stock market, although I think the stock market is in a huge fall right now

d-flo1.bsky.social•16 hours ago

And the sad irony, and perhaps an antidote to their Apocalyptic fantasies, is the fact that so many evangelicals today have turned their back on caring about the condition of their souls and are now much more likely to accuse money-table-upturning Jesus of being a woke domestic terrorist.

Hopefully enough of their peers who are obsessed with material wealth and physical well-being, will counterbalance those who, despite having material comforts, can't escape the psychological disease of envy and ill will, and thus seek to destroy rather than to unite and comfort.

The most ironic part about that too is that Jesus was a lib

d-flo1.bsky.social•15 hours ago

And Christianity began as a philosophy of resistance against the cruel and barbaric wealthy class of the Roman Empire. It was a retreat into the heart & soul for comfort when the mind and body were getting a crap deal. It was spiritual resistance for "the little guy" against Musk-esque repression.
