But maybe they can get better at modeling them. Our lack of ability to model clouds to date is one of the things that makes me a skeptic on climate alarmism.

Space Settlements
…will require a new policy direction.
You don’t say. I’ll be speaking at Steve’s Space Settlement Forum next week about property rights.
Hopper Tests
Climate Millenarianism
Thoughts on people like Greta Thunberg, with some history.
Cialis
Can it reverse heart failure in addition to its on-label use? That would be a nice bonus. I wonder what its effects on blood pressure are?
Home Improvement Conundrum
Posting is light because we’re doing things around the house this weekend. We just replaced the bedroom door (to the outside), and I’m replacing the threshold as well. The thing has an aluminum channel into which a rubber seal fits, after mounting it with screws. But you can’t put the screws in with the seal in place, and once it’s mounted, you can’t slide the seal into the channel (as the instructions say) because the ends are butted up against the door frame. All I can think to do is to shorten it so I have some clearance for inserting the seal, but then the ends won’t have channel, just seal.
[Update a while later]
OK, I figured it out. If I pinch the bottom flat part and bend it upward, I can squeeze the sides into the flange. I still don’t understand why the instructions say to “slide” it in, though.
AI
Can now generate talking video of people from a single image.
We’re rapidly approaching the time, if we’re not already there, when we can’t trust video.
Bargain Basement
For those who haven’t gotten one, and would like to, I’ve dropped the price on my book to $12.95.
Radical Green Ideology
It has taken over and corrupted professional engineering and science societies.
Sexbots
The technology continues to improve:
Realbotix has recently fitted its Harmony models with a new “vaginal sensor”. This enables the machine to respond to tempo and pressure before producing its own response. Brick previously told us: “Now they have developed a vaginal sensor for inserts they put in to the doll, the robotic body, and now as you thrust into the sensor when you’re having sex the sensor is a reactive strip, that sends the stimuli to the brain, to tell it how deep you’re going, how hard you’re going and how hard you’re thrusting. “Now you have all of that information coming into the AI and it’s calculating and responding appropriately.”
What could possibly go wrong with that?
