We are excited to announce the release of the Environmental Hazard Adaptation Atlas, an effort to map ongoing and future environmental hazards and their impacts on society, and to provide up to date evidence on what policies and interventions work to reduce impacts: adaptationatlas.org.

This is well researched. But I bristle at the idea of this as a “scientific standoff.” A hallmark of science is that there are almost always contrary paradigms challenging the dominant one. But you have to know when the weight of evidence is on different planets. news.mongabay.com/2025/08/old-...

Old forests, new fires, and a scientific standoff over active management
This is the second installment of Mongabay’s coverage of active management tools for forest fires. Read Part 1. Photographs of forests in the western U.S. from the mid-1800s show a starkly different r...

A large low over North America guides smoke over the skies of the eastern US, originating from wildfires on the western side of the continent.

Does prescribed burning reduce overall smoke from wildfire? We have 2 new papers that try to quantify. Answer: each acre Rx burned yields ≥3x more reduction in future wildfire smoke than is emitted in the Rx burn. But can take years to realize benefits. www.stanfordecholab.com/blog/prescri...

Yes, it almost certainly does, but benefits in terms of net smoke reductions take a few years to be realized.   By: Marshall Burke Wildfire smoke is a rapidly growing environmental health haz...

I actually think the most dangerous thing with AI is vc/McKinsey types overestimating the abilities of AI and using it in places where it shouldn't be used. Dumb and dangerous

AI in weather forecasting? Check out this amazing thread diving into the robustness of modern data-driven weather forecasts in past and future climates. (Honestly, one of the biggest questions about ML in weather in in- and out-of-distribution events.) 🧪 #mlsky

I am very excited to share our new Neurips 2024 paper + package, Treeffuser! 🌳 We combine gradient-boosted trees with diffusion models for fast, flexible probabilistic predictions and well-calibrated uncertainty. paper: arxiv.org/abs/2406.07658 repo: github.com/blei-lab/tre... 🧵(1/8)
Samples y | x from Treeffuser vs. true densities, for multiple values of x under three different scenarios. Treeffuser captures arbitrarily complex conditional distributions that vary with x.

btw this is why friends dont let friends skip the “boring classical ML” chapters in Elements of Statistical Learning‼️ (True story: the origin of this case study is that @alanjeffares.bsky.social[big EoSL nerd] looked at the neural net eq&said “kinda looks like GBTs in EoSL Ch10”&we went from there)

after years of opposing the owning-a-house part of the American dream, i've finally been convinced otherwise.
