Sometimes we do new things!

🙋🏼‍♂️ — working in the background here, with my book out in 2026.

Love that, thank you. And I hope you’ll like the new one (coming in ‘26). It’s got some Sheldon Kimber in it!

(I also wish the paper of record didn't refer to ECMWF's EPS as "a service that 35 nations rely on to produce their own weather forecasts.")

I made these points the last time around. www.ft.com/content/332d...

I should say the *supremacy* of physics-based models.

Yes. And I wish that much of the coverage (not yours) was clearer about how dependent the AI models are on the existing modeling infrastructure. And yet, for the bleeding edge to be AI-based, not physics-based, is really something.

The era of physics-based numerical weather models.

And credit where credit is due: "We’ll be releasing our model’s code, weights, and forecasts, to support the wider weather forecasting community."

I’m not quite going to make 2025, but my energy book is coming: ELECTRIC EARTH www.linkedin.com/posts/ajblum...

In 2022, I wrote for TIME about Amazon's big push in purchasing renewables. (That's still happening -- but not necessarily fast enough to keep up with AI energy demands.)

Party tricks included.

I think $20/month/seat gets you unlimited, with AI. It’s not clear to me how it’s handling PDFs, so it might require a manual process to import them as text.

I’m also a bit haunted by the energy usage of this, compared to local search of notes, the old fashioned way.

for example! Impressive, but I’m debating how much more useful it is than a good search.
