Thus, sharing a 15-day AIFS forecast map of a TC impacting the United States holds about as much value as sharing a 15-day GFS forecast. Practically none.

It may garner attention & entertainment value, but also much confusion to the general public that isn't watching every model cycle.

Man who survived fall from boat into Lake Superior thanks mom for swim lessons The boat’s operator didn’t notice for a while that his passenger was missing, the sheriff said.

“This ... is a remarkable story of a man named Peter falling overboard and swimming two miles to a land named Pete’s Island; matter of record.”

Week after the trade deadline… something? Saw this too and was really curious. Must be some kind of schedule/make up thing?

The trade within the trade: How Jhoan Duran’s electric entrance accompanied him from Twins to Phillies Duran thought his electric entrance was too good to leave behind. The Twins agreed. After trading him, they helped the Phillies recreate it.

Jhoan Duran wanted his show-stopping entrance to continue in Philly. So the Twins thought it was right to send everything they had — including the custom remix — to Phillies.

“This is for the greater good of baseball fans.”

Omg I should see if our Duluth Cub has it! Dietz and Watson is just SO good. Didn’t know how good I had it when it came to lunch meat growing up.

As a Phils/Twins fan I am SO happy for Duran and Bader. It is SO cool the Phillies kept the intro… Duran deserves to get it with a sold out crowd every time!

I just hope that we don’t end up with a climate where these Canadian wildfires burn all winter long and we get to deal with cold AND smoke…

Morning severe storms on the iron range appears to have caused considerable damage (lots of downed trees) nearly 10k customers without power between the two largest utilities. The initial NWS warning had nearly an hour of lead time for places like Hibbing! #MNwx

Happy All Pints North!

9. If you use Al to write something for you, it is meaningless and we'd all be better off if you had never said anything in the first place. This is the thing: Writing is meaning. The reason we write things is to express some sort of meaning, to pass along important information, to convey a human emotion or sensation. It doesn't matter whether the writing is grammatically correct, or vividly expressed. It matters that it came from you. That is the point of writing. If you ask a Chatbot to write something for you, you are being fundamentally unhuman and foundationally dishonest. I am not going to bend on this one. If it requires an Al bot for you to express something to me, you and I are probably not actually friends.

hell yeah @williamfleitch.bsky.social

I have no inside information but NOAA Weather Radio is certainly a critical service!

It was a chilly morning, with International Falls tying their record low temperature that was first set in 1918.

What a treat to see that game!!

We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers.

The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.

Haha crazy how fast it changed!

Hot and humid summer day turned downpour. Happy that we got off the deck about 5 minutes before it poured, but I bet a lot of people in Canal Park were surprised!

It’s always fascinating to see how a decaying thunderstorm complex falls apart as it outruns the best instability/forcing.

Quite a compelling read from the just-released NWS-Grand Forks survey of the derecho damage last Fri. night in Bemidji, MN.

Too cute!

Caitlin, Mikaela, and Molly have finished their trip to northwestern Wisconsin and got 4 stations installed this week!

They also checked out 4 potential station locations.

Our map is filling up as we have just hit 69 deployed weather stations!

Your Brain on ChatGPT: Accumulation of Cognitive Debt when Using an AI Assistant for Essay Writing Task This study explores the neural and behavioral consequences of LLM-assisted essay writing. Participants were divided into three groups: LLM, Search Engine, and Brain-only (no tools). Each completed thr...

Have LLMs Finally Mastered Geolocation? - bellingcat We tasked LLMs from OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, Mistral and xAI to geolocate our unpublished holiday snaps. Here's how they did.

We all know AI models can now create realistic images and videos but how do they fare at identifying where a real image was taken? Bellingcat researchers have put Large Language Models to the test: www.bellingcat.com/resources/ho...

Those “bolts from the blue” are crazy! I think they also are often positive strikes, too?

This cloud-to-ground lightning strike west of Carlton is a great example of why these isolated pop up storms - difficult to predict with neighborhood-level precision more than minutes out - can produce lightning with little to no warning. #MNwx

Join scientists as they drive into hailstorms to study the costly weather extreme A team of scientists is driving into severe storms to study hail. It's one of the nation’s costliest but least-appreciated weather dangers.

Join AP and scientists as we drive into hailstorms. The underappreciated weather extreme costs $10 billion a year. @brittanykpeters.bsky.social apnews.com/article/hail...
