As someone without PCB design experience but with dreams of physical things that could be made with PCBs this sounds amazing. What software are you using for the PCB design? Or just entirely letting Fable do whatever and checking the work w

Very cool to see! I was active in the UO emulator communities back in the day but mostly with SphereServer. It is interesting to see here in the comments how many people were inspired to programming because of UO! All the recent LLM advance

Very few companies run the vertically-integrated stack because it is prohibitively expensive to do so with current NWP versus what you can sell it for with only marginal forecast improvements. I know several companies have tried this with i

Let's not forget the time they just turned it off for the winter holidays because they didn't want to be paged about it going down!

Since the Weather Research and Forecasting Innovation Act of 2017, Congress is requiring NOAA to start acquiring data via commercial partnerships. NOAA has already made some contracts with Spire [1] and Saildrone [2]. I am sure there are mo

ERA5 [1] will get to back to 1940. So not exactly 100 years but darn close. [1] https://www.ecmwf.int/en/forecasts/dataset/ecmwf-reanalysis-...

You buried a lot of great analysis in your white paper that is hard to find! The comparison to NOAA Atlas 14 really shows what to expect with this dataset and how to better use it. My guess is that potential customers who know how to use th

There was guidance [1] back in 2011 that prohibited development of mobile applications. As far as I know the situation hasn't changed since then. [1] http://www.nwseo.org/Four%20Winds/11_12_28_Sobien_Lubchenco_...

I saw a companion AWS blog on this: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/publicsector/smithsonian-3-mill... Looks like its part of the public dataset program so you can probably just ask for the bucket name and get full f

GOES-16 imagery could be up to every 30 seconds over specific regions, every 5 minutes over CONUS, and every 15 minutes over entire disk now.

NOAA is working on making this happen through the big data project: http://www.noaa.gov/big-data-project On the NOAA side, there tend not to be loginwalls so that hasn't been much of a concern. I work with one of the p

Guardant Health is a member of the Blood Profiling Atlas for Cancer ( https://www.bloodpac.org/members/ ) too with a commitment to opening up data for faster discovery. So they're good people! Now you have to wonder

I recommend reading the fine print on your grant application next time. If you were successful, the entire application becomes subject to FOIA. As for your patent infringement problem, hire a lawyer.

There were mentions of the repeater system last night, so my guess is they transmitted weakly somewhere and the repeater happily repeated it out to activate all the sirens. You can do this pretty trivially with HAM gear, although some may r

Obama and the NCI have become big proponents of opening up cancer data to everyone. Even going so far as to publicly call out places like Stanford for walling off data. Check out the Genomic Data Commons as well to see partial results from
