I've noticed there's not enough projection of the future of AI, and too much critique over the status of what it means now... ? Not you per se - but this statement of yours reminds me of it - so just using it to launch a bit here... The technology is primitive. As spectacular as it may or may not come across to the laity, if not dismissed by computer science oriented types who flippantly describing it as Google on steroids ... this isn't where this tech is going. Society needs awareness and practical imagination, most importantly ... preparedness. 18 months, that's so far been the leap of capacitance intervals. It may slow down ... but not likely. It is in fact more likely to speed up, because it breaks through ability thresholds - positive feedback. In general, this technology also comes along with a huge, huge feedback toward its own improvement potential, and these leaps of ability - stunning for just the last 4 years! - certainly supports that argument. I wrote a missive about this above ... likely tl;dr for some, but the gist of it is ... there's almost no value in sitting back and limiting it's existence in any way, when the future is of almost boundless potential ... I mean, despite all humanity achievements and conceits, to date? Almost meaningless when we start triggering immorality, dimensional travel - yes these sci fi visions are no longer just imagined do to the synergistic advantage of future improvements lending so favorably toward discoveries we cannot at this time really quantify very well. We are coming out of the technological dark ages. We're standing at threshold of door way with so much bright light we can make out anything specific - but the light draws us through. The ramifications are utterly unknown. Wait until QC comes on line and these system are then connected to its "god" access. Being whimsy with the language there but seriously, I don't think there's enough "practical imagination" in visualizing what that reality will be. Most folks are being skeptical if not dismissive, and I think that's a waste of time when/if being aware, no ... "being prepared" for the synergy between man and machine in this case, creating an arena where synergistic emergence are (likely) unguarded, because they are difficult to predict ... We are passing through an evolutionary stage. One that humanity may even be unwittingly causing.

So weekend looking iffy around the ATL area. Rained the last 2 weekends, and this one looking borderline again. Not a washout, but could definitely ruin some outdoor plans. Have a great holiday weekend everyone. Lets all remember what this weekend represents. We owe our freedom to all those who served.

That will be gone with next weeks update

All up from here. LFG

Kind of reminded me of April 1, 1997, too.

1.66 Boned again.

Greens are going to be a little soft tomorrow.

Rain totals 5/21 - 5/23 (9AM) New Brnswck: 1.75 EWR: 1.13 NYC: 1.09 JFK: 1.01 LGA: 0.79

I know Chris was not in this camp, but I remeber when a large contigent of folks were theorizing that the favorable extra tropical Pacific last decade was a semi-permanent change due to CC, too.

Sunscreen is horrible. Lots of crap in them. MAHA

Clearing line rapidly moving West to East.

Cool period dep EWR: 5/19: 73 / 52 (-1) 5/20: 71/50 (-3) 5/21: 59 / 50 (-10) 5/22: 53 / 50 (-13) NYC: 5/19: 69 /51 (-4) 5/20: 67 / 49 (-6) 5/21: 59 / 49 (-11) 5/21: 51 / 48 (-15) LGA: 5/19: 70 / 52 (-4) 5/20: 68 / 50 (-6) 5/21: 59 / 49 (-11) 5/21: 53 / 48 (-15) JFK: 5/19: 74 / 53 (+3) 5/20: 69 / 50 (-3) 5/21: 58 / 50 (-8) 5/21: 55 / 49 (-10)

You mean there is a positive correlation between the equatorial Pacific waters during the summer and the subsequent winter season NAO?

Low of 57 this morning. Love it.

Sugarloaf and Sunday River

Eh, glad the lawns got another drink and we can still get a coastal storm under the right conditions. The storm also would’ve evolved differently in the winter.

M4.67" precip for the month. RSTM2 COOP site. Very happy to see this. The stream at the farm where we keep our horse is finally running again.

As of the latest update(yesterday) a small area in north central MD- much of Baltimore county and parts of Carroll and Harford- are still in a severe drought. Areas surrounding that are Moderate. Better further east- my yard is on the edge of abnormally dry, and nothing points S and E from there. But yeah there has been marked improvement in the past couple weeks. Not sure why he wouldn't be discussing that rather than being a hypester.

1.12” for the week, and looking forward to a perfect weather weekend.

Breaking 100+ year old cold records, I thought it was impossible. Shocked there were no posts about it from all the stat geeks here (not really). Almost the same here, 1.56"

Minneapolis v Paducah May average temperature update. MSP: 60.5 PAH: 66.4 Yesterday was our first high above 60 since the 16th. Temperatures look to stay average/slightly below average through the next week.

I’m going to need spf 500 on monday

1.70" A little more than 9" for the month 52F

Coastal pulling away and lingering rain into NY

Euro still not updating there but it is more similar to the GFS with trough still clinging to the northeast (ish) 5/30 - 6/1). Heights poised to rise in the 6/5 - beyond.
