Google DeepMind sneaking in one more massive delivery on #AI4NWP before the end of the year to solidify 2023 as the breakthrough year for this tech - 'GenCast: Diffusion-based ensemble forecasting for medium-range weather' arxiv.org/abs/2312.15796

It never ceases to amuse me when the $200/yr CLEAR line at SFO is slower than the regular pre-check queue at security.
