@modestproposal1 lmao, saw this and immediately thought of you. "In the long run, everyone sells ads."

@xiaoxu_tian Apologies if the above isn't totally coherent, I've been away from atmos for a decade and never studied DA, but been following all the recent contributions of ML/AI methods to the field. Neat to see the operationally required components like DA getting attention now. Nice work!!!

@xiaoxu_tian of a jet hopefully isn't kicking the subgrid params too hard, curious if there's a way to disentangle the contribution of the learned parameterizations from Neural GCM, or at least make some argument about "how much" of the response is coming from the unresolved part?

@kchoudhu As a kid growing up in the late 80s/early 90s on the US East Coast and Midwest, I feel like this was pretty typical? Maybe more gender balanced in the mountain west, but pure speculation on my part.

@scottyaz24 @tannerelectric I believe the issue is the damage is to the transmission line into the Tanner substation, that line belongs to PSE, and PSE doesn't allow Tanner to work on their line. Is that the gist? Something similar happened during the last long outage.

@generativist Would be curious to know a bit about the workflow you find productive, both in terms of code assistants and what topics you find it useful to do ANKI on. Do you have any previous threads or write ups on this (Twitter search is shit these days)?

@wx_washington2 Definitely looks like surfacing mountain waves in the transect here.

[Andy Berner @AndyBrnr]

@wx_washington2 From the 4/3km UW WRF 00Z run. We def had gusty conditions in North Bend, but the model put the highest surface winds further W on the 90 corridor around Issaquah/Sammamish. Should look at the transects to see how it resolves the mountain waves...

@AeroPaleo @dieworkwear Do you have a presence over there yet? Did a quick search but wasn't obvious if so.

[Andy Berner @AndyBrnr]

@selling_theta This is all going to be so incredibly dangerous and stupid.

[Andy Berner @AndyBrnr]

@DavidLarter @AaronMehta Looks an *awful* lot like a J-35, too, lol (h/t @Aviation_Intel). So either we're doing a bastardized mash-up of an F-22 and F-35, PLAAF trolling, or there's a plan for a twin engine F-35D...

@FreightAlley My biggest concern for a system like this (and broader adoption of self-driving cars, for that matter) is cybersecurity. How readily do you think that risk can be mitigated?

@HerbCarmen Our new pup is a little more laid back (actually been a bit of a struggle getting her to eat full meals of late), but she takes cues from her adoptive brother…

[Andy Berner @AndyBrnr]

@HerbCarmen lol. My GSP is on the same wavelength.

@AllThingsNatSec Can't remember who pointed it out, but we're going back to late 1890s gilded-age levels of corruption post-haste. I guess it gives some perspective to know we've been there before and come back from it, but that the electorate *chose* to take us back there is beyond frustrating.
