The Netherlands might not have the most extensive or fast rail network, but it's frequencies are pretty much unbeatable. In some places it runs more as a metro network than a heavy rail one. This visualisation shows that nicely!

It's not comprehensive. More than 75% of the passenger lines are missing in Belgium. I imagine this is the same for many other countries, especially the ones with a lot of passenger service.

Indeed, you can imagine this as some sort of advanced physics-based interpolation of various measurements (land stations, satellite data, ...) to fill in every cell in a latitude-longitude grid. This is not only used for ERA5 (training data

Everything in AI seems to be focused on LLMs lately. But in my opinion, powerful problem-specific models like this are even more interesting. The SOTA AI models used in weather forecasting are already outperforming the classic NWP models wh

Well if you count every minor service outage which maybe 0.1% of the users are non-critically affected by, you quickly get to 0.6%. So, this doesn't really tell you anything.

New book by Eric Riess (writer of the Lean Startup) came out today. Haven't had the chance to read it yet, but certainly sounds interesting. Excerpt from the Amazon page: "In Incorruptible, Ries reveals the hidden forces that caus

Very interesting, but sounds like an extra complication to use binary search on time to find the right position of the sun, when you can just directly calculate this, eg. using the formulas in here: https://gml.noaa.gov/grad

I've worked a lot with weather data in the past (and I still am), and I have to appreciate all the work that went into this. Weather model data is notoriously messy with many different formats and standards, and then I'm not even

Depends on which model. Only really the ECMWF weather model is not fully free. The German, French, Dutch, ... models are all free (regional and global models). Of course, these global models are generally less accurate than ECMWF, still ECM

Wow, looks like a very cool project! Feel free to experiment with the Sunsethue API! Send me an email if you'd need a higher quota to play around with.

For the ones who might be interested, Yr.no uses the ECMWF (European weather model) as their main data source. This model scores the best on benchmarks of the global weather models (available for the whole world), but AI models are catching

Some interesting points: "Removing cross-border bottlenecks through binding timelines to be set by 2027 and the identification of options for higher speeds, including well-above 250 km/h when economically viable." "A 202

My bad, should have indeed used AMOC in the title. Translated the titles of the Flemish and Dutch public broadcasters which used the word "golfstroom" in their titles. It may take long to significantly weaken, the article also sta

Should have used AMOC indeed, in Dutch media the word "golfstroom" was used, and I translated it without putting too much thought into it.
