Dear software companies, stop trying to add AI to everything. A better strategy would be to make your core software function in an intuitive manner.

🌡️ The numbers are officially in for 2025:
New Mexico tied for the 2nd warmest year on record with 2024. This is all part of a very obvious warming trend since the late 1970s. 9 of the 10 warmest years on record have been since 2000. #NMwx

Just finished up 10,000 km for the year. 7950 was commuting to work. The best rides were trail rides with friends.

Numerous record high temperatures were broken again today across New Mexico. It is quickly becoming one of the warmest Decembers on record for the state. #NMwx

Wrapping up this week with another great day of trail riding. My favorite sign here is the ‘mountain bike optimized’ sign to let everyone else know to be aware and prepared to move. Also a big fan of the ‘no e-bikes’ sign.

You would think that this forecast for Albuquerque looks normal for this time of year based on how steady it is. But each high for the next week and a half is 10° to 20° warmer than normal! #NMwx

Because of phantom references, refs in languages other than English, and incorrect refs, I could tell that ~60% of my 400 level ugrads outsourced their papers to LLMs. I asked them why they thought anyone would hire them to do a mediocre job they could just get AI to do themselves?

In our new peer-reviewed paper, we estimate that aboveground forest carbon storage is projected to decrease by 18% (796 Tg C) under +2°C climate warming in the western US. 🧪🌍
This has big implications for carbon offset programs!

I remembered this book this morning while on my bike. I think our transition to an asshole culture is complete. When publish in 2012, James noted we were trending that way.
