This probably isn't quite what you mean, but WRF (Weather Research and Forecast) model is an open source and actively developed weather forecast model you can run at home or on the cloud: https://www.mmm.ucar.edu/weathe

Well, I think the most important metric you can measure on the surface is atmospheric pressure. Simple temperature and humidity is generally insufficient to make good predictions - but pressure at the surface, measured across a geography, c

I love this! Am super interested in building something like this. IMO there is even more value if this is built with a central server in mind for each weather station constructed. A network of stations working together can begin to create t

I think it's arrogant to assume that your followers on Twitter love you so much that they will follow you anywhere, sign up on a new platform, click on sketchy mass DM links to a 100% rate. The whole tone of the post is arrogant IMO. I

Yeah, this isn't 'export', this is new spam. There is also no evidence presented that sending mass spam DMs to people with links is going to have a more positive impact on your followers coming to your new platform. It seems

Curious about this as well. The desktop download links time out for me, so, I'll try getting the app on my phone I guess. Would be great to see this on desktop/web somehow. Edit: App requires SMS auth, but the phone I'm tryin

The statement "the greater group of protesters is incapable of understanding nuanced policy or democratic change" is extremely rude. It's also wrong. It definitely violates HN guidelines in at least 3 different ways. They mad

The most-used verb in the numbered list is 'review'. I hope some action comes of this, but, I dunno, it's Facebook.

What's the difference between a click and an upvote then? It can still be gamed as easily (maybe even easier). Also, it has a major problem: if users know that popularity is based on clicks, then they can't click on anything the

IIRC they are offering service only to northern parts of North America to begin. The network is sparse right now and I think the plan is to start with Canada.

The current wording is correct. The journalists are in fact being deliberately chosen as targets.

Aha, I want a lot from weather apps. I am a weather app developer, for what that's worth. I expect a lot because the current state of weather data communication and accuracy is a disaster. There is a lot of work to do to improve fore

I use ML in weather research too. That's not the problem. The problem is Dark Sky used more simple radar prediction methods, like taking existing rainfall, using wind speed and 'nowcasting' the rain into the future. There are

There is an enormous amount of latent weather data to be extracted from existing sources and they, I think, are doing a great job finding and using them. I am also working on similar efforts, focused on using labelled photos of the sky with

This should be far better than Dark Sky. AFAIK Dark Sky was far more of a simpler statistics play than real meteorology and data processing. I was surprised Apple bought them, because I don't honestly believe they had any real groundbr

Maybe - but are the marketers even in charge of the open source decisions? It's possible I guess. But to name an example, the open source code and developer-focused nature of the work just makes it seem completely different to me.

It sounds to me like the office is simply closed for remodelling and cleaning and will reopen at partial capacity in a few months. This is the vibe I get from the intro, can't read the whole article (paywall)
