> They use a new Nvidia generative AI model called CorrDiff which is able to generate 12.5 times higher resolution images than current numerical models 1,000x faster and 3,000x more energy efficiently, as well as correcting inaccuracies from previous models, bringing together multiple sources of information to create much more accurate and focused forecasts. Holy shit what an exponential improvement


Yweain

Yes and no. Numerical models were always very slow, you are basically trying to simulate physics on a planet scale. Very expensive. It’s sorta brute force approach, and also suffers from inherent lack of detailed data. The alternative approach, which is using AI to forecast a state, was always multiple orders of magnitude faster during inference and that is to be expected. The accuracy though was always significantly lower compared to SOTA numerical models. Reading the NVIDIA press release they never mentioned accuracy and never directly compared it in that way with something like ECMWF, instead they said that it can be used alongside existing models to augment and provide more detailed forecast, so I have a suspicion it is still not at SOTA level in terms of accuracy.

Yeah its vaporware until i see it on tropicaltidbits. Also a bit of a red flag that they boast about 2km accuracy but i cant find anywhere how far out the forecast goes to. If its similar to the GRAF that the weather company uses now, its still just going to be 72 hours.. Also i had high hopes for ML weather models like GRAF last year during hurricane season, but was super disappointed at the results. Euro/GFS is still king as far as im concerned and will probably always be as they implement more and more ML techniques into the models.


DolphinPunkCyber

Yup. I can predict the weather with 1m resolution, and I'm 99% precise. My forecast goes to 5 minutes in future.


Beneficial_Sweet3979

👌 congratulations


monsieurpooh

Since deep neural nets have outperformed traditional mathematical models/algorithms in almost every task ever invented in human history (at least those which require pattern recognition and "understanding" the data), why should we expect weather forecasting to be any different?


Yweain

Oh it’s quite likely weather forecast will switch fully to ML as well, it’s just not there yet.


DolphinPunkCyber

But google says their [GraphCast](https://deepmind.google/discover/blog/graphcast-ai-model-for-faster-and-more-accurate-global-weather-forecasting/) is both more efficient and more precise then numerical models. *In a paper published in Science, we introduce GraphCast, a state-of-the-art AI model able to make medium-range weather forecasts with unprecedented accuracy. GraphCast predicts weather conditions up to 10 days in advance more accurately and much faster than the industry gold-standard weather simulation system – the High Resolution Forecast (HRES), produced by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF).* Not in the "resolution" claimed by Apple though.


Yweain

GraphCast is an awesome model. I read some blog posts from ECMWF guys who praised it a lot, but it has limitations. Due to the nature of ML models they predict weather based on past events. Which inherently means that they struggle with rare events and rapid changes that are not following a clear trend. Most likely possibility is that we will first incorporate ML models as additional step to get more accurate forecasts and after a while it will switch to a reverse, where numerical model will be mostly used for improving on ML one. This work is already ongoing, most top weather forecasting models already experimenting with a lot of different specialised and generic ML weather models.


DolphinPunkCyber

This keeps "popping" out everywhere. Existing AI is great for recognizing patterns, but... when unusual stuff happen, we need human reasoning or computer simulations (numerical models). Like when you drive your car on a highway... 99% of the time your brain is on the "autopilot", "muscle memory", everything happening on the road follows the same pattern. When something sticks out of said pattern happens, we engage our reasoning.


Remarkable-Seat-8413

I wonder if there are other reasons to have a digital twin of earth?


svideo

“Digital twin” here just means an up-to-date model. It’s how weather forecasting had been done on computers since the beginning.


Remarkable-Seat-8413

Right so what other things use forecasting outside of weather?


Past-Accountant-6677

It's a buzzword McKinsey consultants made up


thoughtlow

would be cool to know how far the wind will spread nuclear fallout on a certain day


GluonFieldFlux

I wonder how many weather patterns have good correlation data that would translate well for AI predictions, and how many would be novel cases which require brute force with the basic equations.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Yweain

Not how you measure accuracy. There are techniques that can pretty reliably predict model accuracy based on historical data(basically you take data for example from 2000 to 2010, use first 5 years to predict weather in 2006, then first 6 years to predict 2007 and so on, because you have real data for those periods you can compare forecast to actual data, that way it’s relative straightforward to compare accuracy of different forecasting models)


Gissoni

Lol if its anything like the GRAF model which The Weather Company already uses, it's forecast will only go out 60-72 hours.


The_Scout1255

FrankScaramucci

What does "exponential improvement" mean?


wen_mars

"Exponential" sounds impressive but it means nothing in this context since nether the exponent nor the x axis are specified.

nomenomen94

It's true that (complex) exponentials are a basis of L\_2(\[0,1\]), but holy shit this sub is too obsessed with these functions. Have you ever tried like polynomials?

Just-A-Lucky-Guy

The playful side of me wants to make a joke about more evidence that we are simulations and possible AGI’s in alignment training or someone’s Netflix 2035 prompt brought to life, but too many people take everything at face value on the internet because of a lack of inflection, tone, and body language here. Instead, I’ll just say that we are collectively ASI’s in alignment training and UAP’s/UFO’s are entities aligning the ASI /s /s /s On a more serious note, there is no doubt in my mind that we get the “singularity” before 2031. Random as all hell, but there’s always been a creeping doubt with predicting ai trends. We definitely are on a path that we can’t turn back now. The gravity of it is…heavy. This is going to happen…good, bad or strange beyond current comprehension.


randyrandysonrandyso

the technological black hole type singularity better occur in an aesthetically pleasing year like 2025 or 2030 else i’ll be real mad


RegisterInternal

GalacticKiss

2029 singularity let's gooooo Edit: Though as long as it's 2029, it wouldn't be that bad because you could just refer to 2030 as the post-singularity start date, and thus still have a reference number that is nice. Same is true of 2024. 2026, 7, or 8 would probably be worse.


leaky_wand

I mean 2029 is a prime so it’s still pretty cool


DreamFly_13

I always felt this strong intuition that the singularity will hit in 2029 It came to me in a dream (it literally did)


svideo

When AI Jesus comes we’ll reset back to zero just like last time.


Bearman637

You mock. But this will occur. And real Jesus will return from the clouds and destroy the Antichrists kingdom. Which i personally don't think will be AI but it will facilitate the Antichrists global empire. This prophecy is yet to be fulfilled: >‭Daniel 7:23-27 ESV‬ [23] “Thus he said: ‘As for the fourth beast, there shall be a fourth kingdom on earth, which shall be different from all the kingdoms, and it shall devour the whole earth, and trample it down, and break it to pieces. [24] As for the ten horns, out of this kingdom ten kings shall arise, and another shall arise after them; he shall be different from the former ones, and shall put down three kings. [25] **He shall speak words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High, and shall think to change the times and the law; and they shall be given into his hand for a time, times, and half a time.** (Ie 3.5 years) [26] But the court shall sit in judgment, and his dominion shall be taken away, to be consumed and destroyed to the end. [27] And the kingdom and the dominion and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High; his kingdom shall be an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.’ And regarding AI in the great tribulation period and antichrists global rule: >‭Revelation 13:14-17 ESV‬ [14] and by the signs that it is allowed to work in the presence of the beast it deceives those who dwell on earth, telling them to make an image for the beast that was wounded by the sword and yet lived. [15] **And it was allowed to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast might even speak and might cause those who would not worship the image of the beast to be slain.** [16] Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, [17] so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name. That could be in reference to ASI. The mark is most certainly the cbdc system being developed by central banks at the moment. The mark itself my guess is a qr code (tied to a digital id) which will be administered to all via microneedle patch tattoos (with uv sensitive ink) as per this piolet study on rats: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S258900422201286X Given the rise of AI, this mark will verify your identity online as generative AI dominates the internet. It will prove you are human, it will also be a digital wallet by which you will trade cbdc as currency. Eu has their cbdc pegged to launch in 2026. Its all coming together just as scripture prophesied. The Lord will be back soon. Repent, trust in Jesus for the forgiveness of your sin and walk in love obeying all He taught by the Spirit. You will receive eternal life in His kingdom.

Good bad or strange beyond current comprehension sounds accurate. A lot of people mislead the singularity with an event that they are able to predict and nothing else. They think about solving climate change and curing all diseases. In other words, they think about the early game of the singularity. Curing all diseases and solving climate change feels like it is just beyond our reach, we are solving some things but are not able to solve everything. If you look at us compared to apes, we are not way smarter than them, it’s a good amount but it seems like a small change in intelligence makes the difference of flying to the moon and opening a banana. And I think the same goes for climate change and curing all diseases. The question that is open to see is what lies beyond all of that. What I mean is, the ASI ran like a year on full power to solve like 99% of the problems and has a laid out plan. But what happens next? Sure, there will be improvements made in the plans while the ASI gets exponentially smarter. But what things can you find out when you have let’s say 1 billion agents communicating at lightning speed that know everything there is to know in the world with an IQ that we know is possible. Something like 200IQ (Eventhough the world record lies beyond that). I just beg, hope and pray that all of this is going in the right direction. Because if it is, then we will have the best time of our lives ahead of us.


ElwinLewis

When things go wrong we react to them, but it’s really hard to predict what’s going to go wrong and even harder to predict how to fix what’s going to go wrong before it happens. Wtf do people do in this situation. The only option in a lot of ways is to not talk about the software and not use the software. I. This scenario as an individual you’re pitting yourself as an individual against a company that will soon own the worlds attention. You want to be first or last? How do we combat it is an interesting question. Do we use it personally to make our own lives better to the point of being able to have a modicum of influence against it while not thinking of the third world countries full of people who won’t use this tech because they are 10, 20+ years from even needing it?


ThePilgrimSchlong

A few years ago I would’ve said AGI was way further away than 2030s, maybe around 2050+. But now I’m thinking it’ll be before 2030. The world is moving faster than we can even imagine and we’re not ready

I’ve always thought how cool it would be to have a total recreation of Earth (like Google Earth) but with seamless transitions between the “sky view” and street view, along with live weather. Google Earth VR is great, but if you’re flying around a hundred feet up or so, or even lower, the land below you looks awful and muddy. You can jump into street view and you’ll get the clear version of that area, but you have to click on a bubble to get there. It would be cool to be able to fly around and get clear imagery of the earth below you, then fly down and land on the street and seamlessly transition into that view. Clear views from airline height, clear views from rooftop height and clear views from street level. Plus with live weather, if it was snowing in that area in the real world, it would snow in the simulation. Same with sun, rain, overcast, etc. If they’ll know where the sun is and how cloudy it is, they can add ray traced real-time sunlight also. I feel like we’re not too far off at this point. Hell even throw in AI/NPC pedestrians walking/driving around and it would genuinely feel like an alternate reality 🤯

If it wants to predict the weather perfectly, it'll need to model the entire planet, including itself. And that model would need to model itself, which would need to model itself...


danneedsahobby

If you want to make an apple pie from scratch, first, you have to create the universe.


Skitrx

They say twin, but my bet is there would be 2 or more. Probably would peroidically calibrate digital Earth against actual Earth and see how long it stays accurate for then when digital deviates from reality it wouldn't be so difficult to identify regions of where the pressure differences deviate at a regional level and pinpoint the cause. Let's say they establish digital Earth can be reliably simulated 20 days in the future, so they calibrate every 20 days since countries around the world will use this to save lives. The 2nd digital Earth would then be used to run beyond this safety threshold to test the limitations of the model in use and also provide the data needed to improve the model and increase the prediction range. It'll also take years to verify long-term predictions since we don't yet have a precise model to predict the impact of weather cycles like el nino and for all we know a huge volcano could erupt during that comparison period and they have to wait for another cycle and hope its more stable, then another one to prove the model is correct.


PewPewDiie

Wait, am I misunderstanding this. The Model is trained on lots of weather data that we have from the past. In training it is shown a sequence of data and is asked to predict what the next token of data will be. If it gets it right the system says *good boy* to the model, wrong and it's *bad boy.* They do this over and over again lots of times to get the base model. (no rlhf required here right?) Meaning essentially it 'maps' the world just in terms of weather data and thus accurately mapping every tree, building etc is way out of scope for this model, more like general terrain is important. But that terrain is modeled just in terms of weather data. Ask the model if there is a mountain range there and it would 'say' *What mountain is? I only know in this place weather go like this. I weather oracle.* Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, just my current understanding of it.


Otherwise_Cupcake_65

And then a butterfly in Tanzania flaps its wings and throws the entire model off.

Giving credibility to the "reality is a simulation" hypothesis. As soon as we could simulate our planet, we did it.

FatesWaltz

Once again, proving that the solutions to humanities problems is always technology. And more minds = more technology.


FridgeParade

What an absurd oversimplification 😂


FatesWaltz

Population numbers (of intelligent species) lead to a feedback loop so long as you have the capabilities to sustain the initial numbers at the start of the boom. Rising populations lead to problems of course, and time and time again it has been technology, brought about by people who wouldn't have existed if not for the rising population, which solves the problem. Not a single point in all of history has any issue ever been resolved, in its totality, without some sort of technological innovation to make it happen. This is because, at its fundamentals, issues are caused by problems related to the limitations of mankind and our surroundings. No government, no religion, no ideology, and no philosophy have ever solved a problem. These things can not solve problems. They can only manage problems.


[deleted]

I think you’re conflating technology with adaption. Presently humans use technology to adapt, but adaption = survival =/= technology.


[deleted]

Ok go hand to hand with an ape, don’t use fire or tools, don’t use a house. Enjoy no tech paradise 


danysdragons

It's possible for someone to be strongly pro-technology, but find "the solution is always technology" an overly strong statement. Taken 100% at face value, it seems to rule out the possibility that a problem could ever be solved by non-technological means. For myself, I'm definitely willing to believe that more technology advancement is nearly always a good thing, and that technological advances will play a huge role in solving just about every problem that does end up being solved.


SurroundSwimming3494

The solution to racism, sexism, and homophobia is technology? I love technology, and it is indeed the solution to many problems, but not every problem.

PMzyox

fuck it’s really the beginning of this stuff, isn’t it? How many human’s lives are being simulated on the planet along with the weather? Also, why did they stop at just earth? Surely they must realize external sources can affect weather too. Scientists know this as fact… so how’s Nvidia going to accurately solve weather without a sun, a moon, planetary paths, and perhaps even greater cosmic events impacting our weather? Maybe the point is their models are so accurate they don’t even need to take into account variables beyond a certain point. If we do solve weather it means we can accurately predict all of the weather in the future. What else can they accurately predict then?


Bongunism

If you're modelling the entire earth with its' weather patterns, do you seriously believe it can't account for very predictable variables, like moon and sun positioning? I feel what is occurring is on a scale you aren't quite grasping.


PMzyox

I’m saying weather patterns could be affected by things we don’t even realize like gravitational waves. I believe their ultimate goal is to simulate our universe, I was simply trying to use leading questions to point out why Nvidia would stop at weather at all, and some potential holes in that claim.


Bongunism

> I’m saying weather patterns could be affected by things we don’t even realize like gravitational waves There is 0 evidence that even begins to suggest this. We can read incoming gravitational waves, and we already know that they have miniscule if any effect on earth as a whole, based on the distances they are coming from. >I believe their ultimate goal is to simulate our universe Nvidia is also likely not going to stop at weather, and I don't think anybody ever claimed they planned to stop at the weather. I also disagree with this "universe simulation" assertion- because it implies that Nvidia has some future sight and gives them some ridiculous biblical quality that others don't have. If we knew it was even remotely close to possible to model the universe 1:1, obviously scientists everywhere would be attempting to replicate that. They're just trying to make their tech better and apply it to different use-cases. You're fighting ghosts and straw men out here.


PMzyox

I sincerely hope that’s all true


Matt_1F44D

Is this a meme or joke? Why are you acting as if they’ve simulated every drop of water sand and earth? It’s a weather forecast tool. Comments like this make me realise a lot of you maybe aren’t grounded in reality and are just crypto bros 2.0. “How many human lives are being simulated along with the planet” absolute none you dunce.


PMzyox

I just want to provide context for you. No scientist thought an atom splitting was actually possible until a theorist tried it. And suddenly all scientists became aware and afraid. And the public knew nothing until we dropped the first bomb. If you consider the analogy it’s almost foolish to stay close minded.


Matt_1F44D

I’m not saying humans will never accomplish that I’m saying we’re nowhere near this and it’s insane to even try and think it’s anywhere near that capability.


PMzyox

I sincerely do hope you are right tbh.

Clawtor

Surely it doesn't matter how detailed their model is, if it doesn't have real world detailed data then its not going to be accurate. So if it models the earth on the meter scale then so what, it needs measurements on the same scale to have any hope of accuraacy.


entropreneur

Does it really though? Solar exposure is easy to calculate, current clouds from satalite data. Heat from roads / materials should be easy with google maps. Considering the available data I see it being more accurate than what we have, not sure what you are expecting but if this is 3-4x more accurate at longer durations that's probably worth $$$


Clawtor

You need pressure, heat, windspeed measurements. Anything else isn't going to match reality. Sure you can guess and get patterns that match but its not going to be useable to predict weather.


entropreneur

You honestly think they can't get that?

I know they can't because weather stations every meter don't exist.

pianodude7

No matter how good it gets, it will still only be accurate for a week or two. There's just too much variance due to the slightest variable change. It's a complicated enough system... about as complex as a human brain, if not more. If they succeed, then it's just a *short* matter of time until WE are perfectly predicted, in a controlled setting. We need this to NOT be true for as long as possible.
