- "I've already been hitting timeouts on NWS gridpoint forecasts.”

Whattttt? This is bad behavior on your part as a redistributor. It is more polite to do a bulk download (NDFD) and iterate against that directly.

Zero money take: quantum computing looks like a bunch of refrigerator companies.

The fact that error correction seems to be struggling implies unaccounted for noise that is not heat. Who knows maybe gravitational waves heck your setup no matter what you do!

That is another viable path, no more no less.

No, not really. If you are just looking to work with the data you want to read about extracting from grib2 format. One of the faster ways off the ground is to use the Pywgrib2_s python package and iterate against the model files using python to extract the fields that are interesting. I have a container on docker hub that has pywgrib compiled with all its dependencies if you want to tinker.

pywgrib https://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/people/lxu/cookbook/a... containerized https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/jmarks213/container...

These look like staging MVP releases with a full rollout planned for the future. They are only including a few parameters at every 6 hours which is barely interesting to anyone with their feet on the ground.

> Don't get me started on the typos in Lost Art Press's _Virtuoso: The Tool Cabinet and Workbench of Henry O. Studley_ --- they mis-spelled the subject's name on the inside cover and duplicated one photo, so a pair of flat pliers is shown twice and there is not detail photo of the iconic twin pair of jeweler's pliers, and didn't do a "cancel" reprinting that page as any reputable publisher would.

I am not familiar with those books or their content but that definitely reads as if the intent has been substantially changed. A typo 100 years ago might have been a letter off in the type setter; the typos these days are rewrites!

> I've _never_ read an ebook w/o finding at least one typo

This is unacceptable. Typo's are not just aggravating but as they accumulate they begin to veer towards mutating the authors original intent.

I own last years Kindle Scribe model and enjoy reading with it. Technically, I probably just like e-ink devices and this was my first e-ink purchase. The Notebook's (now Workspace?) are a compelling experience but it is unclear how the syncing feature protects data privacy. Pen and paper still has a cozier vibe when trying to keep drafts of ideas secure.

Two critiques: - Kindle would be a much better product if kindle.amazon.com took me to a dedicated UX that is not washed out by the e-commerce bloat that currently surrounds it. - You have to carefully purchase Kindle editions of books. There are definitely Kindle edition books for sale that are digitally scanned, imported, and compiled as a Kindle edition with no proof reading having occurred leaving you stuck with typo riddled messes.

More objectively it reads as if none of the models performed well outside of 24 hours with a significant uptick in inaccuracy after 72 hours.

> I find it interesting that they quantify the improvement on speed and number of forecast-ed scenarios but lack details on how it results in improved accuracy of the forecast per:

Definitely. Training on the historical data creates compelling forecasts but it comes off as a magic box. Where are the missing physics for the high performance cluster?

> Im pretty deep into this topic and what might be interesting to an outsider is that the leading models like neuralgcm/weathernext 1 before as well as this model now are all trained with a "crps" objective which I haven't seen at all outside of ml weather prediction.

You are a bit misleading here. The model is trained on historical data but each run off of new instrument readings will be generated a few times in an ensemble.

> Global Forecasting System continues to get worse

What do you mean?

> Punishing neighbor properties for not getting that one deal is an interesting but not ideal solution.

It could very well be that it is less than optimal to compare lots intended for residential with lots you would develop a convenience store on.

> So this is all about getting the town to assess lots at higher valuations and this way raise tax revenue which in turn will raise town’s ability to spend for itself.

That is one angle of view. Alternatively, you could be encouraging vacant lot (or equivalent structure) owners to sell if neighbors are improving properties while they are not.

I do not have an opinion on if Kotlin is great as a backend for every project. Kotlin does excel as a pick for projects where you are also compiling for native mobile front ends.

Write a Kotlin multiplatform client side business logic module in tandem with your Kotlin backend. The multiplatform module compiles for both your Android and Apple environments and for extra flexibility you are able to quickly port code from the client business logic module to the backend (or vice versa).

Yeah, definitely an adverse amount of guerilla advertising. How many veiled pro insert some code assistant posts can one r&d budget write?

Yes, software value appears to only exist for owners of products. You should pursue ownership of something. You can write anything, even a different type of Claude code!

> Weird to see my home county pop up on HN

I second this sentiment. It is sorta bizarre, there is not really a tech scene in the area except for a few niche roles in support of Pax River Naval Base (I'm also operating my SaaS down here https://weatherthetrip.com/download :peace_sign:). I remember visiting this store back in the 2000's and was surprised when I saw it still in business a few months back.

You are using deflection here (deceitful). Without a list of all viewer ip's it's hard to identify where his click contractor is. Just knowing what countries his viewers are from would be sufficient.

Go read "Spy the lie". Accumulation of discrepancies (His viewers don't watch other similar content?) indicates deceitful behavior.

I agree the kids will take it at face value all the more reason to not tolerate massive deception. What if his teaching them fraudulent representation pays. All pro athletes cheat a little bit at the highest levels but exceptional cheating is never tolerated.

His view counts seem cooked to me. I would be interested to see what countries his viewers are claiming to be from. This article even reads as a guerilla upsell that his numbers are legitimate.

Surely the urge to cheat is unbearable with millions of dollars on the hook. (Alot of apps on the app stores also claim to have quarter million 5 star reviews. Uhhuh)

> This helps me figure out which direction I can drive to get the best sunshine or whatever else.

I published a road trip weather app that crunches forecasts for you if you're going for a drive and would like to avoid the worst of the weather. It's great for evaluating whether to start a trip during the evening or the next morning. Timestamps are built using Google directions so you have about as accurate a forecast as you can in 2024.

> I am almost never interested in "30% chance of shower at 08:00pm" type of forecast.

I understand this sentiment but that is sorta where medium term forecasting is right now.

> In total, our dataset includes millions of crashes across 14 states between 2013 and 2023.

A great source of data for this topic is the Fatality and Injury Reporting System Tool (FIRST) [a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration product]. Link: https://cdan.dot.gov/query

It has more data (covers all states) although VIN numbers do not appear to be in the dataset.

What is the financial backing that affords you the ability to offer your product for free? Everyone still has bills to pay AFAIK

I'm trying to bootstrap a SaaS ( handshake www.weatherthetrip.com/download also on X @jasonmarks__ ) and sympathize with some of the points. Do I know what YC really does? Not really. Maybe they grease marketing? I don't think that's worth the equity ask though.

Cannabis is great. Try it after a difficult commit/project to take a bit of mental inflammation off

I think I'll win more share of the U.S. market wink nudge nudge

That would be something for sure
