Startup #WindBorne created specialized balloons to gather data for #weather forecasting, and an #AI algorithm directs the balloons where to fly next, integrating real-time data with historical data for more accurate predictions. spectrum.ieee.org/ai-weather-f...

Planetare Entwarnung: es war gar kein Angriff aus dem Weltall, sondern nur ein ballongebundenes Werkzeug zur Datensammlung für eine #KI.

WindBorne's #CEO bravely admits that their balloon might have freaked out some pilots, as if claiming the skies for themselves wasn't enough 🌬️🎈. Meanwhile, the article attempts a groundbreaking feat: proving that #JavaScript is the new air we breathe, without which websites are just sad blobs of text. 🥴💻

So H5N1 :virus: really must be airborne?! 💨

:questionbox: Were the birds not at other risk?
👉 These chickens are kept at "the highest biosecurity standards." ⛓️🔒⛓️ [1]

:questionbox: Ok but maybe humans broke the rules?
👉 there was a "complete absence of any interaction between the companies, even through third parties involved in feed replenishment, waste disposal or the transport of carcasses to rendering plants. All farms used their own well water supplies. In addition, the employees were not allowed to keep their own poultry. Therefore, in view of the biosecurity measures in place, the possibility of human-associated secondary spread [...] can be excluded." [1]

:questionbox: Wouldn't different caged birds 🐔 have different exposures to outside air though?
👉 "It is noteworthy that in the affected houses, the infection and subsequent mortality started in the areas closest to the air inlets" [1]

:questionbox: 8km long transmission though? Wouldn't that require the wind to line up just right?
👉 temperatures were 🌡️ warm and stable, keeping between 6°C and 11 °C, and "conditions were remarkable [...] with continuous wind from the west or southwest (250-300 degrees), [...] at the highest wind speeds [...] enabling the virus to reach [downstream birds] within 13-22 min" [1]

:questionbox: Was it even really the same disease, for sure?
👉 "genetic identity ✔️ between the H5N1 strains in the donor and recipient farms" [1]

:questionbox: Maybe it got in sooooome other way?
👉 "all possible alternative routes of infection during this period were excluded by our 🕵️ field investigation." [1]

:questionbox: but another result found no influenza in the air!
👉 "the failure to detect IAV particles away from infected farms must not be taken as evidence of the infeasibility of windborne spread. Indeed, when sampling was correlated with careful estimation of wind direction, IAV particles were detected in air collected up to 1.5 and 2.1 km from affected farms, indicating true wind-mediated dispersal."
