In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has dramatically enhanced what’s possible in weather forecasting and the ways in which we can use it.Today, Google DeepMind and Google Research are introducing WeatherNext 2, our most advanced and efficient forecasting model. WeatherNext 2 can generate forecasts 8x faster and with resolution up to 1-hour. This breakthrough is enabled by a new model that can provide hundreds of possible scenarios. Using this technology, we’ve supported weather agencies in making decisions based on a range of scenarios through our experimental cyclone predictions.We're now taking our research out of the lab and putting it into the hands of users. WeatherNext 2's forecast data is now available in Earth Engine and BigQuery. We’re also launching an early access program on Google Cloud’s Vertex AI platform for custom model inference.By incorporating WeatherNext technology, we’ve now upgraded weather forecasts in Search, Gemini, Pixel Weather and Google Maps Platform’s Weather API. In the coming weeks, it will also help power weather information in Google Maps. 2025-11-19T05:47:01Z {XDN Applied-AI} Needy Programs @ tonsky.me [https://tonsky.me/blog/needy-programs/] 2025-11-19T05:47:01Z {software-bloat rant} Fourier Transforms [https://www.continuummechanics.org/fourierxforms.html] 2025-11-19T05:47:01Z {fouriertransform fourier-transforms FFT} Zed Is Our Office — Zed's Blog [https://zed.dev/blog/zed-is-our-office] 2025-11-19T05:47:01Z {zed editor} World's Biggest Empires of History, on One Epic Visual Timeline [https://www.visualcapitalist.com/the-worlds-biggest-empires-of-history-on-one-epic-visual-timeline/] 2025-11-19T05:47:01Z {history geography politics visualization} [2511.10628] Instella: Fully Open Language Models with Stellar Performance [https://arxiv.org/abs/2511.10628] 2025-11-19T05:47:01Z {llm slm how open and} This App Lets ICE Track Vehicles and Owners Across the Country [https://www.404media.co/this-app-lets-ice-track-vehicles-and-owners-across-the-country/] 2025-11-19T05:47:01Z {surveillance ice usa fascism ai} Disrupting the first reported AI-orchestrated cyber espionage campaign Anthropic [https://www.anthropic.com/news/disrupting-AI-espionage] 2025-11-19T05:47:01Z {anthropic claude agents AI hacking security prompts MCP llm generative automation} Logo API | Logo.dev Company and Brand API [https://www.logo.dev/] 2025-11-19T05:47:01Z {logohunter} Are you stuck in movie logic? - by Cate Hall [https://usefulfictions.substack.com/p/are-you-stuck-in-movie-logic] 2025-11-19T05:47:01Z {naming tim_ferriss movie_logic} WhatsApp owns India! - by Dharmesh Ba [https://newsletter.theindianotes.com/p/whatsapp-owns-india?mc_cid=1404c3e931] 2025-11-19T05:47:01Z {WhatsApp asia} Digital Signals Theory - Online Textbook [https://brianmcfee.net/dstbook-site/content/intro.html] 2025-11-19T05:47:01Z {music_theory digital_signals ebook courses Resources fourier} Marble: View and create 3D worlds [https://marble.worldlabs.ai/] 2025-11-19T05:47:01Z {3D generative AI models visualization virtualreality} IDEmacs/IDEmacs: Making Emacs beginner-friendly, via configurations that emulate mainstream IDEs - Codeberg.org [https://codeberg.org/IDEmacs/IDEmacs] 2025-11-19T05:47:01Z {emacs vscode} How to find music you will love without the algorithm | The Verge [https://www.theverge.com/report/821614/discover-music-without-algorithms] via The Verge https://ift.tt/Rs0VJ73 2025-11-19T05:47:01Z GitHub - p-e-w/heretic: Fully automatic censorship removal for language models [https://github.com/p-e-w/heretic] Heretic is a tool that removes censorship (aka "safety alignment") from transformer-based language models without expensive post-training. It combines an advanced implementation of directional ablation, also known as "abliteration" (Arditi et al. 2024), with a TPE-based parameter optimizer powered by Optuna.This approach enables Heretic to work completely automatically. Heretic finds high-quality abliteration parameters by co-minimizing the number of refusals and the KL divergence from the original model. This results in a decensored model that retains as much of the original model's intelligence as possible. Using Heretic does not require an understanding of transformer internals. In fact, anyone who knows how to run a command-line program can use Heretic to decensor language models. 2025-11-19T05:47:01Z {XDN Tech Research-into-AI} Three Years from GPT-3 to Gemini 3 | Ethan Mollick [https://www.oneusefulthing.org/p/three-years-from-gpt-3-to-gemini] Gemini 3 should be available free for UMBC users soon 2025-11-19T05:47:01Z {ai llm gemini snr} “The Fall Of Icarus”: Astrophotographer Snaps Skydiver Falling In Front Of The Sun In Spectacular Photo | IFLScience [https://www.iflscience.com/the-fall-of-icarus-you-have-never-seen-an-astrophotography-picture-like-this-81570] 2025-11-19T05:47:01Z Minivac 601 Simulator [https://minivac.greg.technology/] 2025-11-19T05:47:01Z Part 1: How I Found Out - by Ryan Lizza - Telos News [https://www.telos.news/p/part-1-how-i-found-out] 2025-11-19T05:47:01Z {us politics} How we made our internal data warehouse AI-first [https://clickhouse.com/blog/ai-first-data-warehouse] Learn how we evolved our internal 2.1 PB data warehouse from traditional BI to an AI-first analytics platform 2025-11-19T05:47:01Z Short Little Difficult Books - by Lincoln Michel [https://countercraft.substack.com/p/short-little-difficult-books] 2025-11-19T05:47:01Z {reading books good-reads} AGI fantasy is a blocker to actual engineering | Tom Phillips [https://www.tomwphillips.co.uk/2025/11/agi-fantasy-is-a-blocker-to-actual-engineering/] 2025-11-19T05:47:01Z Itiner-e [https://itiner-e.org/] 2025-11-19T05:47:01Z {maps digitalhumanities ancientworld history newtestament} Listen to Database Changes through the Postgres WAL [https://peterullrich.com/listen-to-database-changes-through-the-postgres-wal] 2025-11-19T05:47:01Z {elixir Postgres} Rothko: "I remember somebody jokingly suggesting that I challenge Elon Musk to a fight ... and quietly thinking to myself, I am literally not paid enough for that."

Now OpenAI, whose model GPT-4o was used to power the toy, is pulling the plug. On Friday, the ChatGPT maker confirmed that it had cut off FoloToy’s access to its AI models, a move from OpenAI that could invite additional pressure onto itself to strictly police businesses that use its products— especially as it enters a major partnership with Mattel, one of the largest toymakers in the world. “I can confirm we’ve suspended this developer for violating our policies,” an OpenAI spokesperson told PIRG in an emailed statement.
