Nothing says "May is one week away" like Montana with its heavy snow, rain, sleet, flurries, fog, temperatures in the 30s, wind chills in the 10s, and wind gusts of 40-50 mph! I'll have your complete 7-day weather forecast through the end of April at 4:30, 5:30 and 10pm!

LLM shenanigans

markdown edition

New gas projects linked to a mere eleven data center campuses around the US have the potential to create more greenhouse gases than the country of Morocco emitted in 2024.
Emissions estimates from air permit documents examined by WIRED show that these natural gas projects —which are being built to power data centers to serve some of the US’s most powerful LLM companies, including OpenAI, Meta {Facebook}, Microslop, and xAI —have the potential to

emit more than 129 million tons of greenhouse gases per year!

As tech companies race to secure massive power deals to build out hundreds of data centers across the country, these projects represent just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the potential climate cost of the LLM piramid scheme.

I've deliberately translated what is written to what it actually means for us proprietors of Terra.

Good read on the ABC today about Australia's declining weather observation stations - and the important work that historical climatologists like Linden Ashcroft do, unearthing old records of weather obs.

As a kid, my family kept daily rainfall observations - it was always fascinating looking at the old records.

Impressive! The long, skinny line of storms goes from the Texas panhandle to central Minnesota — a distance of 750 miles / 1200 km.

In my area, the storms got organized about 10 miles / 16 km east of my house. I can hear the thunder.

Anyone who was following the weather bots (not mine) at masto.globaleas.org, it appears they have taken down their Mastodon instance (completely!!). With no warning...

I have a complete set of substitute bots (put up by myself on @lckrohjr) on a server at bots.krohsnest.com -- but not all are active. If you are looking for US National Weather Service (NWS) messaging/warnings/etc. from any of those areas and aren't finding them, please ping me and I will make sure things are running for you.
