Heute erscheint Subnautica 2 und ich hab es schon mal unter Linux Mint runtergeladen und warte auf die Freigabe. Bin sowas von gespannt auf das Game und wie es unter Linux laufen wird, wobei ich mir da keine Sorgen mache, hab bisher keine Probleme bei den WindowsSpielen gehabt, die ich installiert hab. Obwohl an diesen WE will ich mal den MS 2020 runterladen und testen, bin da echt gespannt drauf ;D

It’s been more than five years since the election,
the results already had been investigated multiple times,
and the ballots had been counted, recounted, and recounted again.
The lie that the 2020 election was stolen has persisted.
And the “Stop the Steal” movement’s most ardent believers now hold unprecedented positions of power,
including on the once-sleepy State Election Board in the important swing state of Georgia.

Seeing Inside the Storm: Improving Nowcasting by Integrating Meteorological Drivers

https://arxiv.org/abs/2605.24067 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2605.24067 https://arxiv.org/html/2605.24067
arXiv:2605.24067v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Most nowcasting systems, built on radar reflectivity, focus on current precipitation, ignoring the atmospheric precursors -- such as low-level convergence, turbulent eddies, and latent heating -- that offer a fleeting window to foresee storm birth. We introduce MeteoLogist, a physics-inspired radar intelligence framework that models the full life cycle of convection -- from its precursors to organized storm evolution. However, exploiting these precursors is non-trivial: they originate from multiple meteorological drivers -- thermodynamic, kinematic, and microphysical -- that evolve asynchronously (C1) and remain spatially fragmented (C2). To this end, MeteoLogist designs three tightly integrated components. The Physics-Tailored Encoders process radar echoes according to their intrinsic physical scales and semantics, forming thermodynamic, kinematic, and microphysical streams that capture distinct dynamical regimes. The Temporal-Phase Aligner addresses C1 by leveraging causal temporal attention to capture when and how different drivers interact and activate. The Cross-Field Spatial Aggregator addresses C2 through cross-regional fusion, aligning weak and scattered precursors across neighboring cells to expose upstream triggers and enforce spatial coherence. Evaluated on 3D-NEXRAD (2020--2022, US-wide), MeteoLogist boosts high-impact detection (CSI40) by 9.7% over strong baselines, and achieves a remarkable 37.67% gain during the storm-developing stage -- demonstrating true foresight in sensing storms before they appear. The code can be found in the supplementary material.

Visibility nowcasting in South Korea: a machine learning approach to class imbalance and distribution shift
Bong Gyun Shin, Chan Sik Lee, Hyesun Suh
https://arxiv.org/abs/2605.21507 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2605.21507 https://arxiv.org/html/2605.21507

Abstract: Atmospheric visibility is a critical variable for transportation safety and air quality management, however, accurate prediction remains challenging due to the complex interactions between meteorological conditions and air pollutants, as well as the rarity of low-visibility events. This study introduces a machine learning framework to nowcast visibility in six major South Korean cities. To handle the imbalance in the 2018-2020 training data, we applied the Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique with Nominal and Continuous (SMOTENC) and Conditional Tabular Generative Adversarial Network (CTGAN). An ensemble approach combining machine learning and deep learning models was then used and evaluated on a 2021 test dataset. The results revealed a marked decline in predictive performance in the test set compared to the cross-validation phase. This degradation was attributed to a distributional shift between training and testing periods, which was quantitatively confirmed by measuring the Wasserstein distance of the most influential feature identified by SHAP analysis. In general, this study presents a methodology that aims to simultaneously address the dual challenges of data imbalance and temporal distributional shifts, and emphasizes the necessity of accounting for evolving external environmental factors when implementing nowcasting models on time-series data.

From Licensing to Open Access: Designing a Sustainable Transition in Operational Weather Data

https://arxiv.org/abs/2605.21673 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2605.21673 https://arxiv.org/html/2605.21673
arXiv:2605.21673v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: This translational article documents the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) transition from a restricted data licensing model to open access under CC BY 4.0, completed in October 2025. The policy context included EU open data requirements and alignment with international data exchange frameworks. The transition was implemented through a tiered service model that kept core forecast data open while offering operationally supported delivery as a cost-recovered service. Between 2020 and 2025, ECMWF executed an iterative planning cycle: setting an annual target for revenue reduction, specifying additions to the open tier under that target, provisioning infrastructure, and assessing outcomes to update assumptions. Drawing on internal administrative records (2014 - 2025), we describe design choices, operational constraints, and early outcomes. In the six months following the end of the transition, more than 93% of previously paying organisations retained a Service Agreement, while open endpoint download volumes increased substantially. We discuss trade-offs in defining the open tier (resolution, parameters, schedule), the reduction of compliance overheads formerly associated with redistribution restrictions, and the scalability implications of global distribution. We note an emerging sustainability question as AI-based forecast products become freely available. The early evidence is consistent with the view that a tiered service model can be designed to reconcile open-access obligations with operational sustainability, subject to monitoring over longer contract renewal cycles (typically annual).
