Indeed, you can imagine this as some sort of advanced physics-based interpolation of various measurements (land stations, satellite data, ...) to fill in every cell in a latitude-l…

Everything in AI seems to be focused on LLMs lately. But in my opinion, powerful problem-specific models like this are even more interesting. The SOTA AI models used in weather for…

Well if you count every minor service outage which maybe 0.1% of the users are non-critically affected by, you quickly get to 0.6%. So, this doesn't really tell you anything.

New book by Eric Riess (writer of the Lean Startup) came out today. Haven't had the chance to read it yet, but certainly sounds interesting. Excerpt from the Amazon page: "In Incor…

Very interesting, but sounds like an extra complication to use binary search on time to find the right position of the sun, when you can just directly calculate this, eg. using the…

With captions :D

I've worked a lot with weather data in the past (and I still am), and I have to appreciate all the work that went into this. Weather model data is notoriously messy with many diffe…

Depends on which model. Only really the ECMWF weather model is not fully free. The German, French, Dutch, ... models are all free (regional and global models). Of course, these glo…

Wow, looks like a very cool project! Feel free to experiment with the Sunsethue API! Send me an email if you'd need a higher quota to play around with.

I know that this is shameless self-promotion, but maybe this could interest you: https://sunsethue.com/ :)

For the ones who might be interested, Yr.no uses the ECMWF (European weather model) as their main data source. This model scores the best on benchmarks of the global weather models…

Some interesting points: "Removing cross-border bottlenecks through binding timelines to be set by 2027 and the identification of options for higher speeds, including well-above 25…

Well, at least I now know that my Belgian university's Blackboard environment is running on AWS :)

There even is a section on Chatelet Les Halles if you scroll down. Insane station.

My bad, should have indeed used AMOC in the title. Translated the titles of the Flemish and Dutch public broadcasters which used the word "golfstroom" in their titles. It may take …

Should have used AMOC indeed, in Dutch media the word "golfstroom" was used, and I translated it without putting too much thought into it.
