The qualitative patterns are better than the quantitative values. Especially once you sum over a large number of patch responses to get a global greens function.
But it is still an impressive result, and one that opens up many possible uses for Climate Model emulators.

The ACE2 emulator is only trained historical AMIP simulatotions. Yet, it reproduces patterns of response to localized warming!
Check out the stationary waves propagating from a Warm Pool SST anomaly. These are not explicit in the training set, and I doubt ACE2 read Hoskins and Karoly

I’m so happy that Taylor Swift achieved her life long dream of ending up with a football star!
I am also sorry it’s not a star quarterback in a blue number 12 jersey which she was clearly pinning for (attached).

Remember to change your A/C filter periodically (preferably with a shorter period).
This is after just one month in Illinois, and really not *that* many wildfire days.

I know the borer is ~$200 more. But going for the chainsaw instead of the borer is how you end up with the wikipedia page about your life being about your biggest fuckup:

"Today I saw this powerful illustration of how a background in computer science with some stats courses can help you evolve into something far more powerful: a data scientist. Here are some tips... "
and a thousand stats department cried

I even work through an extremely crude toy model of the Prisoner's dilemma for a hands-on in-class activity in my climate change class.
I think it helps student wrestle with one of the most common questions they all come in with "why are we, as a society, acting so dumb?"

"When were you radcalized?"
Around equations 1.2.6 and 1.2.7 in Gibbons: "Game theory for applied economists" (taking Princeton's Econ 418 - Strategy and Information, with Dilip Abreu)
Seeing *societal* failure modes emerge mathematically out of rational *individual* behavior felt eye opening 🤯

I’ve just been using the farmer’s almanac, but i’m glad to know i’ll soon have another option.
