On Wednesday, Google’s DeepMind division announced what may go down as the most significant advancement in weather forcasting in nearly eight decades of work.

Pretty much the only thing I think AI could be useful for - forecasting the weather based off tracking massive amounts of data. I look forward to seeing how this particular field of study is improved.

Bonus points, AI weather modeling, for once, saves energy relative to physics models. Pair it with some sort of light weight physical model to keep the hallucinations at bay, and you’ve got a good combo.

    I feel this personally, I live in the hills outside of a valley metro. All weather data is forecasted off of valley sensors, but shit gets weird when you suddenly climb 2000+ ft.

    The best weather services in my area are those that can factor in peoples household meters into their forecasting, but those services still aren’t perfect.
