#Variability
Denmark didn’t “transition” its grid—it replaced it.

~15% → 92% renewable electricity in 25 years.

Wind did the heavy lifting. Solar is scaling. Interconnection balanced. Flexibility solved variability.

Wind built it. Solar is scaling. Fossil lost it.

This IS system replacement. ⚡#Bettrification

1/ Hey y'all, I'm excited to share my latest paper, which is out now in PNAS! We introduce FAVA, a statistical framework to measure compositional variability across microbiome samples. If you want to measure variability across a stacked bar plot, FAVA is for you! Paper: doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

I actually really wish this would inspire @dieworkwear.bsky.social to do a discourse on acceptable variability in tie width, which is a point of concern for me

We’ve suspected for a long time that rainfall variability increases with warming. Now, observations are long enough and of sufficient quality to prove it. Not enough rain, and then too much, exacerbates climate impacts and makes adaptation more difficult.

Anthropogenic amplification of precipitation variability over the past century
As the climate warms, the consequent moistening of the atmosphere increases extreme precipitation. Precipitation variability should also increase, producing larger wet-dry swings, but that is yet to b...

As we head into another wildfire season:
"We find that the observed increase in extreme fire weather bears a clear externally forced signal, detectable at 99% confidence above natural variability and attributable to human-induced climate change."

There is no such thing as “mild” autism.

If you are autistic, you are disabled. Yes, there is HUGE variability re: how that disability manifests. Almost infinite and complicated and often misunderstood and underestimated variability.

But there is no such thing as “mild” autism. #neurodiversity

How does internal climate variability affect the calculation of the ETCCDI temperature and precipitation extreme indices?

In our paper, we introduce the Variability Atlas, a flexible toolset to address this question for users of all experience levels!

Almost always we average responses thus equating response variability with noise.
Well, we shouldn't because variability is also signal, not noise to be entirely discarded.

I'm sceptical that LLMs provide a meaningful economic benefit because of their variability

"Variability destroys variability" so when you apply the same tech, with the same variability dynamic, throughout an economy, whatever benefit it might intrinsically provide will wash out at scale
