Been a while since Iโ€™ve changed my mind by as much and as fast as I have re AI vs NWP forecast models. Shoutout to everyone explaining this stuff at #AMS2024

NWP is so so cool Iโ€™ll be sad when itโ€™s eventually gone but if the AIโ€™s are really โ€œlearningโ€ physics combined with performance improvements, itโ€™s only a matter of time

Very interesting talk in the overflowing AI session this afternoon about (in part) how forecasters donโ€™t trust AI models for a few reasons including how AI is a new/unfamiliar language for most Mets. Can relate! Any plans to fix that in an organized way or โ€œjust google itโ€

I bet there would be a lot of interest in an AI โ€œboot campโ€ for Mets who want to follow along and intelligently/critically evaluate + contribute to AI model development

i hope everyone is aware that MIT has been operating a 6MW nuclear reactor in downtown Cambridge since 1958 with no issues. basically smack-dab in the middle of Boston. it's completely fine en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIT_Nuโ€ฆ
Replying to @aarmlovi
"Ok but would *you* live near a nuclear reactor" Buddy, I hope they park a retired Nimitz supercarrier in New York Harbor and plug its reactor directly into my house

My flaming hot #wxtwitter take is that itโ€™s really hard to teach someone to be a good forecaster in the classroom because you need to do it a ton and assigning that much homework would be met with a total revolt

Window seat and shade up every time. It amazes me every time that for what amounts to roughly a dayโ€™s wage (depending on your job and your flight itinerary), most Americans can enjoy sights and experiences out of reach of historyโ€™s most powerful kings and queens
Once again I find that I'm among the five or six people on a packed plane who care to look out the window at views unavailable to humankind for almost all of our history on earth

Hey #scicomm followers- anybody know of job openings related to environmental/climate/science journalism? A very qualified friend of mine is looking for opportunities in the field. DM/email me if so.

It is really too bad the latest alternative app is run by the only tech billionaire I hate more than Elon

Elon is a terrible awful no good very bad person but at least he has done at least one (1) useful thing for the world (Tesla).
