This will be awesome a year or two down the line, knowing exactly the weather in the short, medium, and long term would be immensely useful when planning trips.

Weather forecasting is one of those fields where I expected advances to be negligible due to two things: Sheer amount of time already spent on it, and the butterfly effect. Happy to see Deepmind doing their thing and proving me wrong again.

Oh man. The next few years are going to be insane. We can't even imagine.

Hell yeah! I hope they have this for the 2024 total solar eclipse over the midwest USA so that I know where to drive where there won't be any clouds!

Trips is one thing but for farming it is also a huge deal.

That is exactly the field where machine learning shines when you have too many variables to account for every small one everywhere.
and we have already very good data as input for it.
Weatherforcast has a giant network of clean data which was just waiting to be used.
For FSD training for example it is different they are slowly building good data.

If it can accurately predict the weather in the South of England I'll eat my hat.

It is nice to see new research on graph neural nets, but I don't quite understand how they work. Is the propagation of data between the nodes analogous to convolution?

outperforming the current system isn’t saying much. the weather forecast is always wrong.

Deep neural nets are shaping up to be the most important invention this century. Mind blowing.

Yep, innovations every week are amazing

I like looking at www.windy.com and flicking between the different models on there to see how much divergence there is.

I've been on this sub for a while but I still struggle to understand the terminology regarding the specific approaches to AI (neural nets, machine learning, transformers, etc.) Would you mind expanding your answer on deep neural nets and their importance? Or maybe recommend a good online resource? I'd love to learn more about them.

Everything you need to know and more, this should be a good jumping point

Where I live, the forecast is right at least 3-4 days into the future.

Thank you! I thoroughly enjoyed that! Need to watch that a couple of times. But I'm a sql developer so the idea of parameters and functions isn't new to me. I'm going to check out some more of that YouTube channel.

When will weather centres use this?
overlordpotatoe t1_j2aq3eh wrote
Very true. I don't know all the details, but I've heard that there's a huge amount of economics that rely on being able to accurately predict the weather.

Yep....
I can't wait for a procedural world builder for making video games.
We should be able to make the coolest, most immersive, creative games possible with this tech.

Why link to a paywalled medium article when there is the original?
visarga t1_j2awwsp wrote
No, the GP was right, neural nets are not especially suited for this kind of data, it's too large and random. That's why they use graph neural nets, to sparsify the input.

Really interesting how DeepMind is approaching applied AI compared to OpenAI.

I’ll take a direct feed of data from that please

What I think may happen is the games of today will be buildable by teams of one and the big budget games of tomorrow are going to be insane.

you can save your hat, no tech will ever be able to do that.

Yes, that is amazing, but why did they only use one type of hardware? Or am I missing something?

Strongly recommend fast.ai- it’s a very accessible course for machine learning and it’s completely free- and in the process they dive into this stuff. It’s mostly made up of videos that anyone with some technical background will be able to understand

Is there a demo of graphcast so we can see its forecast wonders? Has Google any weather service that I don't know about?
RobLocksta t1_j2em6fc wrote
Thanks! I'll check it out.

Original link, for those interested.
Love to see it & will expect more resilient economic processes from this.
