“[The Google WeatherNext AI team] are showing how the WeatherNext AI model from Google DeepMind and Google Research has achieved state-of-the-art accuracy in predicting a cyclone's track, intensity, and wind structure. On average, the WeatherNext Cyclones model gives forecasters an extra day’s worth of predictive accuracy- delivering an advance equivalent to roughly a decade of historical meteorological progress 🌀
Here is how WeatherNext is transforming cyclone forecasting:
• Gaining an Extra Day of Advanced Warning: WN 3-day forecasts are as good as what prior models were able to provide for 2-day forecasts, giving critical time for emergency response.
• Overcoming Traditional Trade-offs: WN bridges the gap between massive global atmospheric currents (which steer a cyclone's path) and fine-grained thermodynamic processes around its core (which drive its intensity) into a single AI model.
• Unprecedented Ensemble Scale: Using Functional Generative Networks (FGNs), WN now generates 1,000-member ensembles in less than a minute on a TPU to capture rare, consequential tail-risks like sudden rapid intensification – which means forecasters can see a broader range of possible scenarios.
• Real-World Impact: During the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season, the WN model helped the National Hurricane Center (NHC) make a historic forecast for Hurricane Melissa by predicting rapid intensification and landfall five days in advance.
[The] teams are open sourcing the operationalized models (WeatherNext Cyclones and WeatherNext 2), alongside a compact version (WeatherNext 2-mini) that can run on a single TPU in a free public Colab notebook – all with a goal of empowering local organizations worldwide.
Weather affects everyone. By combining advanced AI with the real-world expertise of human forecasters, we can build a collaborative ecosystem that saves lives and helps communities adapt to a changing climate…”

Monday-running-club-day, back on track. Today , after some exercises we did 5x1200m. Each 1200m in 200m segments, alternating easy (zone 2) and sub maximal (zone 4/5). After 1200m there was 2 min rest.
Luckily it is not so hot anymore, this morning it even had rained, so it's better running weather. After 4 weeks of only fun runs it felt good to get a serious training done.

It says there's a sale, but I can't see anything there to buy. Empty row after empty row. It's funny how my phone tracked my path trying to find something to buy with my Scheel's gift card. I found a good (expensive!) Seahawks hat.

How #Cops Use #Flock to #Track People, Not Cars

#Police departments around the country have used Flock #cameras at least hundreds of times to search for specific people, not cars, using searches such as “heavy-set male with a black and white hat,” “person on skateboard,” and “person wearing orange vest and construction hat,” according to data reviewed by 404 Media. Sometimes searches reference a target’s race or signs of their #political affiliation.

The searches highlight that while most people associate Flock cameras with scanning license plates and #tracking vehicles, some of the cameras are also capable of following the movements of particular people or groups of people.

Tonight we had a great jam session :) Raw and complicit !

... And was eager to get some sound to test my software I created for video mapping in 360° with some new inputs.

Here is some work in progress, going for low fi feeling. Not sure yet if i'll export it as 360° degrees/vr file yet or a flat 4k video ! What do you think ? Some stuff is 2d layered, but that might be interesting too in 360 !
