it's kind of sad that this is also called "AI" when it's an actually really useful application of neural networks 9to5google.com/2024/12/04/goog

@noiob I'm doubtful this is better than current weather models unless it's literally a better mathematical weather model, since neural networks will always perform worse than kálmán filter versions

@clarfonthey is that like, a mathematical thing? current weather models are pretty complicated, I think

@noiob yes, it's a math thing

basically, unlike a black box neural network model, you have an actual set of equations describing the weather and use measurements for known variables to predict unknown ones, instead of just feeding in data and hoping your neural network can guess how to describe the weather mathematically
