Updated global temperature record from Met Office, CRU-UEA and NCAS-UEA. @climateuea.bsky.social @metoffice.gov.uk @ncas-uk.bsky.social @ueaenv.bsky.social
New version of the HadCRUT global temperature dataset released @colinmorice.bsky.social
HadCRUT5.2 uses HadSST4.2 (with improved adjustments for SST biases during 1933-1961) and CRUTEM5.2 (with updates to stations in China, USA and Canada).
Here is the difference from the previous version 5.1

All of the NCAS guys have serious Confederate sympathies.
During a hearing on Trump's arch, White House ballroom designer James McCrery said that the new monument needs to be mindful of Robert E. Lee's home: “All of that land on the other side of that bridge used to belong to him, and the nation took it from him” www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
Trump’s ‘Triumphal Arch’ Is Vastly Larger Than Other Washington Monuments
Interior Secretary Doug Burgum pitched the president’s plan for a 250-foot-tall monument before a federal design commission — and a very skeptical public.

In 1917, D'Arcy Thompson drew Cartesian grids around different anatomical shapes & showed that deforming the grid could change one species' shape into that of another. We find that "reusable regulatory handles control phenotypic variation" in NCAs

NCAs also require public review, last time there was an art competition, they hold regional workshops, translate it into Spanish ... you get the picture.
The proposed special journal issues are fantastic, don't get me wrong. I'm very grateful to AMS & AGU. But they're only one piece of the pie.

One of our motivations for writing this was a prevalent misconception that blocking systems are becoming more common.
They aren’t. They’re projected to become less frequent.
However, the hot and dry spring is consistent with climate change.

We investigate how multi-agent NCAs can develop into artificial life 🦠 exhibiting complex, emergent behaviors like cyclic dynamics, territorial defense, and spontaneous cooperation.

Introducing Petri Dish Neural Cellular Automata (PD-NCA)
pub.sakana.ai/pdnca/
In this work we explore the role of continual adaptation in artificial life, where the cellular automata in our system do not rely on a fixed set of parameters, but rather learn continuously during the simulation itself.

When they say “firing,” to be clear, there’s no salary involved. NCA authors are paid $0 for years of work.
In moments of frustration, I’ve calculated how many papers I didn’t finish due to time spent on four NCAs.
But ultimately I’ve concluded it was worth it—and it seems they agree!
