Google DeepMind's Weather Lab, launched in June, showed superior accuracy in forecasting Hurricane Erin's path up to 72 hours ahead, beating traditional models (Eric Berger/Ars Technica)

Google’s AI model just nailed the forecast for the strongest Atlantic storm this year
If they improve further, AI weather models may very well become the gold standard.

Today I learned about the Nwulite Obodo Open Data License (NOODL).

Insanely overloaded at work, back & legs in pain, BP high & exhausted so much my hands shake... so the wife sent me a video of my son at the backdoor of our house, knowing it'd make me smile.
... and she nailed it. 😁

Gentle Object Retraction in Dense Clutter Using Multimodal Force Sensing and Imitation Learning
Dense collections of movable objects are common in everyday spaces -- from cabinets in a home to shelves in a warehouse. Safely retracting objects from such collections is difficult for robots, yet people do it easily, using non-prehensile tactile sensing on the sides and backs of their hands and arms. We investigate the role of such sensing for training robots to gently reach into constrained clutter and extract objects. The available sensing modalities are (1) "eye-in-hand" vision, (2) propri…

Systematic Study of Amorphous ABC Heterostructures at the Atomic Scale as a Nonlinear Optical Metamaterial
The systematic exploration of ABC type heterostructures reveals that nanoscale morphological modification markedly improves nonlinear optical properties to maximize the artificial bulk second-order susceptibility. These amorphous birefringent heterostructures are fabricated through cyclic plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition of three oxides, effectively breaking centrosymmetry. We observe a dependence of optical nonlinearity on the thickness variation of three constituent materials: SiO$_2$ …

Soliton-like Rogue Wave Dynamics in Dissipative Higher-Order NLS Models: A Floquet Spectral Perspective
We investigate rogue wave formation and spectral downshifting in the higher-order nonlinear Schrödinger (HONLS) equation and its dissipative extensions: the nonlinear mean-flow damping model (NLD-HONLS) and the viscous damping model (V-HONLS). By applying Floquet spectral analysis, we characterize i) the structural organization of the dynamical background and ii) the nature of the rogue waves that appear, distinguishing sharply localized, soliton-like structures from more diffuse, spatially ex…

God help me for amplifying Bill Maher but he nailed the psychotic freakshow Republicans to the wall in this segment.
And also... release the Epstein files.
