for no reason, here is an animation from a direct numerical simulation of a share-free atmospheric boundary layer. this is vertical velocity, with narrow bright areas being upward motion, and broad dark areas being downward motion. this is near-surface in the x-y plane (you're superman looking down)

Good for Berman. More of this please
BERMAN: Would it be legal for police in Arkansas to kill suspected drug dealers on a boat in a lake?
TOM COTTON: The premise of your question is not well-founded
BERMAN: The answer is no. It would not be legal to kill them.

Not great timing what with the @agu.org annual meeting being held there in 2 weeks. 😩
I would love to see AGU come out with guidance for our international guests, as well as those of us who are concerned US citizens. Time for me to go and buy a whistle?

Imagine thinking yourself a Christian and posting this on the 1st Sunday of Advent - when the reading in church was:
they shall beat their swords into ploughshares,
and their spears into pruning-hooks;
nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
neither shall they learn war any more.

Who could have possibly predicted this
Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.

It’s blowing my mind that schools, universities, public services would run headlong into this. We spent 15 years documenting black boxes. This is a black box in a black hole!
I don't understand how anyone can watch how blatantly Grok is manipulated to answer the way ownership desires it to and then act like the other LLM chatbots couldn't possibly be similarly but less obviously compromised to produce responses in whatever way corporate interests and priorities dictate.

@stonybrookram.bsky.social - I recall from the limited survey that Darrel and I performed that this was your response. (For the record, I still contend that “miss” the rains makes infinitely more sense.)

@gregstumpf.bsky.social weren’t you on the anticyclonic tornado?
If I get my hands on video of the cyclonic/anticyclonic pair at El Reno from April 24 2006, I’ll pretty much have the entire 2006 storm season archived. Which is a testament to how slow it was. 🥴
