Despite the circumstances, it’s been heartening to see the support for Unidata today.

WHEN Unidata gets its $, this will be critical to help chart a course and ensure the program does the most to continue to serve the community with what it has. If you’d like to help, taking the survey really will.

Without Unidata, the company I co-founded, Weather Underground, would never have come to be.

Exclusive: NSF stops awarding new grants and funding existing ones US science funder also plans to screen grant applications for compliance with β€˜agency priorities’.

I talked to Nature about the latest development at NSF, which is a five-alarm fire for American science. The scale of immediate impact is massive. We narrowly escaped this affecting @viralemergence.org for now, but will have to shut down in a few months if this stays.

Yeah I have been at places with low vs high overhead, and generally I say you do get more for it.

Please enjoy my last ever post at Climate.gov/ENSO Blog. This afternoon I was fired by the Trump Administration 15 days before my 2yr probationary period ended on March 13.
I have worked at NOAA since 2010, and I'm so incredibly proud of the work I did. If anyone wants a quote, let me know.

I would be surprised if we ever hit 1,000 rigs a day again.

Does that help with your day rates? Or are the rigs that are working right now are all high end ones so that part of the market is still tight?

They used to make GDAL wheels, etc. as a service.

I am just saying they would be more than happy to take a check to work on those tools. I don’t think they work on them now in a big way, but open source support is something they do (for money).

I need to dig into that more. Colab has its own brand of interactive widgets that I could not get sorted on first pass.

Will have some more time next week.

If your waiting for the Google Colab version of Segment Every Grain, would love some more comments / testers. Seems to work fine with a T4 instance. Can't thank @zzsylvester.bsky.social enough!
