Attended a fascinating Leeds Phil&Lit lecture at @ncas-uk.bsky.social yesterday where I learnt.

2. Weather Apps use the same data but symbology makes their forecasts appear contradictory.
3. AI neural network forecasts are the future(~3yrs)

Enjoyed reading that. I have several emotional connections with Assynt and Suilven in particular but from an airborne perspective. I need to pay a visit on foot or maybe by packraft!

If you've never visited #JodrellBank now is the time to go. A brilliant exhibition of remastered images from the #NASA Mercury and Gemini missions by @andysaunders-1.bsky.social is a superb bonus to the permanent displays there.
