Global shipping depends on quality weather reports. Every single ship and plane (cars, trucks and trains too but y'know) needs accurate weather data very often to be on time. That's not to talk about agriculture or the people moni

No, you're the one speaking about the telescope, while it's not really the point. Meteorologist have been working there since the 1960s. I'm sure you have some understanding of the conplexity of weather and the precision prob

The telescope is studying the sun. Solar events have non negligible effects of the weather. Mauna Loa produces meteorological reports used by sailors and pilots all around the world daily. This observatory is the first one to show CO2 conce

Also, I believe that heat is one of the big factors when thinking about pfas - meaning coffee in a coffee cup is not ideal. But I'm personally not too worried about ingesting pfas from pfas lined products! First off - the water cycle h

Paper mills produce cardbord and paper used for drinking/eating on (coffee cups for example) which have a layer of pfas to insulate them (the inside is a little slippery). This is a big big part of the industry, as it's worth a lo

I don't think you understand the relative amounts of capital invested in LLMs compared to expert systems in the 80s. And those systems were never "commodified" - your average mom is forcefully exposed to LLMs with every googl
