#22This really, really looks like a nullschool clone ( https://earth.nullschool.net/ ). Is it not?
Yep, they cite it on their "about" page (select about from the menu): https://hurricanes2024.silurian.ai/about.html

Hi, it totally is. That's one of our favorite weather visualization projects. We're using Cameron Beccario's open source version of nullschool for our forecasts. We cited him above in the blurb and also on our about page ( https://hurricanes2024.silurian.ai/about.html )
so what exactly are you launching that I can see here?

It is just open source version [1] of that, I assume. It's a visualization, but data is their own. earth.nullschool is visualization of NOAA's GFS model.

We explored several examples from the 2024 hurricane season in our blog post: https://silurian.ai/posts/001/hurricane_tracks. We overlaid the true paths of the hurricane over our predictions for everyone to see!

You went to the effort of posting 2 HN comments, tweeting, and taking a screenshot because you are annoyed that this project used an open-source library and were transparent about doing so.
I didn't know it was open source. I thought it was a ripoff.

I suggest you read the post. Reading is typically how information is transmitted.
EDIT: the post I am responding to was altered to sound much less confrontational. It was originally:

This is the visualization tool they use. They generate the data that feeds into that visualization

Alright, what they presented, in the current state, is just a clone of a 10 year old project with a 2.5 month old weather forecast and some AI story attached to it.
