The US President's new proposal to tax international students has been approved by the White House for release this week. It's an unprecedented $100,000 tax on int'l grads who stay to work after graduation on Optional Practical Training (most grads do), a crucial bridge to remaining by any channel.

If I understand this, two mathematicians (one at Anthropic) combined a great deal of human effort with LLM input to come close to a famous problem, showing that the Navier-Stokes equations of fluid mechanics developed singularities. But someone from OpenAI might have peeked at their ChatGPT logs...

My wish for the future: 1) government data sets receive DOIs and 2) data.gov facilitates automatic mirroring of the entire archive.

We are working toward full-scale climate cat models quite hard in my organization. Lots of exciting progress but the ultimate goal of unified risk view everywhere is still many years away.

Suz Tolwinski-Ward @suztw.bsky.social · 10/01/2025

Exactly why (at least at the company I work for) we dont spend nearly as the resources on projections of risk! Can only provide physically plausible and scientifically reasonable sketches, but the sci uncertainty is too huge to validate.

Suz Tolwinski-Ward @suztw.bsky.social · 10/01/2025

@adamsobel.bsky.social took a stab at this about a decade ago. But it didn’t take off—- because who’s to be the arbiter of model quality?? Other than proven use over time…

Suz Tolwinski-Ward @suztw.bsky.social · 10/01/2025

Some of it is publicly available. I am always astounded that nobody outside the modeling companies who purports to be interested in building cat models ever looks at it, or what the required exhibits are….

Incredible photo via Potomac Riverkeeper today (credit: Nathan Hitt) of the Shenandoah River, muddy with polluted runoff from Helene, meeting the Potomac at Harper’s Ferry.

Aerial photo of the Shenandoah and Potomac rivers converging. Green tree-covered hill on the left, the town of Harper’s Ferry in the middle. Two bridges cross the water. The Shenandoah on the left is murky brown; the Potomac is green-blue. A sharp line between them.

#Helene made landfall ~11pm Thursday night in the Big Bend area of Florida as a Category 4 hurricane and as of 5am Friday is centered over central Georgia. Significant impacts from rain, tornadoes, and strong winds will continue over the next 1-2 days. www.nhc.noaa.gov/refresh/grap...

Wow! how often is RI forecast, and when it is, how’s that skill? (Of course on “the outside” we mostly hear about RI materializing in the absence of it being forecast.) also: are RI forecasts based entirely on statistical models, or dynamical ones as well these days?

Such a warm summer in Europe would have been practically impossible in pre-industrial times. Under the SSP2-4.5 scenario, a summer like 2024 will be unusually cold in 2100.

In which YouTube personalities were paid $100,000 per video to generate fake content while I, a real climate scientist, supported the development of my PBS Global Weirding YouTube series on real climate content out of my own pocket resulting in a net $ loss. You can’t make these things up.
