Just remember that your AI chat history is not protected like attorney client privilege and can be used as evidence against you in court. If you talk to a lawyer and they use AI, those chats are privileged.

I don't know the case of this particular situation, but its certainly plausible that people will make decisions based on trying to secure a certain bet outcome. The prediction markets are clearly not a passive presence...

I have had some incredible medical advice from ChatGPT. It has saved me from small mystery issues, like a rash on my face. Small enough issues that I probably wouldn't have bothered to go into a doctor. BUT it also failed to diagnose me with a medical issue that ended up with a trip to the ER and emergency surgery.

A few weeks before the ER, I was having stomach pain. I went to the doctor with theories from ChatGPT in hand, they checked me for those things and then didn't check me for what ended up being a pretty obvious issue. What's interesting is that I mentioned to the doctor that I used ChatGPT and that the doctor even seemed to value that opinion and did not consider other options (and what it ultimately ended up being was rare but really obvious in retrospect, I think most doctors would have checked for it). I do feel I actually biased the first doctors opinion with my "research."

Awesome! Our data, like wind, is for ground level applications (we don't have data for higher altitudes). But we do have proprietary lightning data which may be of interest to you. If you go to the top left corner and change the focus from "General Focus" to "Severe" you will see a new collection of layer options related to severe weather. There you can see actual lightning strike data, as well as lightning forecast areas. Most airports use our lightning data!

This is true for many free weather APIs out there. But our weather API is global so we’re not just passing through a single government feed. There’s quite a bit of engineering to normalize all of the data sources. Japanese alerts for example are just XML feeds. All the sources update on different schedules, and have different forecast ranges, so it's a challenge to make sure the best forecast is returned at request time.

Some of our data is proprietary. The lightning strike data is from our own lighting detection network. We also offer the only hail forecast model available which was developed in house :)

It's a fair question. There's a lot of free sources of data out there. This app is powered by our own Weather API: https://www.xweather.com/weather-api

The data is aggregated from global meteorological offices and other sources (some free, some paid). Some of the datasets are proprietary to us. For example, the lightning layers come from our own lightning detection network, and certain forecasts (like hail) are developed in-house.

This app was built to showcase our data. The vector mapping tools are also available via API. https://www.xweather.com/mapsgl

All of the data, including the AI endpoints (Phrase API - https://www.xweather.com/phrases-api), and mapping tools were built using our weather API and MapsGL SDKs. I don't know the exact number of hours but its been worked on for about a year. You could spin up a really basic mapping site like this using the SDKs in a matter of hours.

Thanks for catching that, and including browser details.

Thanks. There are quite a few cool projects out there. Someone just shared a link to a collection of free weather maps: https://fmhy.pages.dev/misc#climate-weather

In the future we will also be merging another project into this app which is a collection of data from personal weather stations across the country. That data is really cool because it can fill in coverage gap. https://www.pwsweather.com/map/?ob=temps

Never heard of freemediaheckyeah, I love it. I will have to add ours to the list. One thing that makes us different is we have a LOT more data in one app. If you explore all the layers, you can see tropical cyclone/hurricane data, lightning strikes, hail, renewable energy, and wildfire data. You have to change the focus (top left corner) to see the other collections of layers.

Xweather Live is an ad-free vector weather map built to showcase our weather APIs. It's a fun app with lots of data layers and features.

Feedback welcome!

This is an absolutely horrific thing to make a person do. I see comments that say "well someone needs to do it." Then why not volunteer?

Here in Minneapolis, there have been multiple anecdotal reports of ICE being able to remotely unlock cars, disable them, and even open windows. Whether its true, its certainly seems possible.

Its made me very concerned about public safety if we allow our government to have this power. I actually believe being able to own and use a vehicle freely should be protected under the 2nd amendment.

Im picturing a world where the US could mass disable vehicles based on the owners score in their fancy new palantir database. We should have the right to flee danger and use a vehicle for that.

I also think the second amendment should be applied encryption for the same reason. Encryption is essential to the people's ability to mount a defense against tyranny.

Yes, thank you.

I meant "we" in the sense that our country has yet to put an end to it and there is still a majority of people either actively in support of ICE or remaining silent.

Make no mistake, the immigration enforcement operations in Minnesota are only a training ground for how to undermine civil rights for us all. Everyone is ok targeting te immigrant populations because they are "illegal" or live in a gray area of legality. But eventually these same tools will be used against us.

My dad said good politicians did this with 3x5 cards. At the end of a party they would write down the names of peanuts details, and then review those cards before seeing people again. Would love to see an example of the ui on the website.

I'm burned out because I have to raise two young children, work a full time job in a demanding career, and then in the hour or two a day of time that isn't accounted for in those two tasks, I need to maintain a household and try to care for myself. I feel a strong sense of purpose caring for my family, but don't have enough time to meet life's demands. Maybe other people relate more to this post because they more money and no kids.

How does it make money? Couldn't find any about us page or explanation. As we all know,if it's free, you're the product.

How is this even science? What does this experiment prove? Artificial sweetener does not have calories.

It's because people, including President Obama and Ted Cruz, did speak up that Jimmy Kimmel will get to go back to openly mocking Trump as allowed by our bill of rights. That's how we keep our democracy, by fighting for it.

Feels relevant, thank you for posting. I have so many swirling thoughts and emotions from recent prominent events and this letter provides a compass for that.

Is it just me or do a lot of these comments seem a little too positive? I've never seen a product this hyped on HN. I'm suspicious...

As someone with ADHD, this was always terrifying to me. I developed a personal habit of not closing the driver door until I got my kid out of the car. So the driver door was always closed last. If I went grocery shopping, I opened my door, got out, got my child, got a cart, then as I head into the store, I close my door. Crazy, but if you have ADHD you know this is the kind of thing you have to do.

This is a great, simple breakdown of how to improve motivation. I would love to have this at home!

It's extremely difficult to avoid exposure to these plastics. I started buying "pthalate free" bath products only to learn there if the bottle that holds them is plastic, then you're still getting exposed to pthalates. Most foods are exposed to these plasicizers as well, especially meats and dairy.

This is hopeful news for a really tragic cancer.

"Those who study education quickly realize the surprising shallowness and inaccuracy of existing knowledge and practice: the curriculum and research output of education schools are driven by ideologically driven visions and fads. Most of the best information is found on isolated blog posts, within neighboring disciplines like cognitive psychology and behavioral economics, and in books written decades or centuries ago. As our project develops, we will organize and expand this knowledge to create a framework education schools have not."

This is absolutely true. I worked as a secretary at a university that churned out teaching degrees. It took 2 years to finish the degree (which was in addition to a bachelors) and was almost entirely non scientific fluff. I wish more educated, experienced people could become teachers without the beaurocracy of being certified. I think many people would choose to serve their communities as teachers for a few years, especially in retirement. A lost opportunity.

I wonder if salt intake is only a problem for people that eat lots of processed food?

I think as a professional in tech, it's frightening and obvious how behind schools are in keeping up with the modern world. I'm not talking about having ipads. AI will be he most significant technology humanity has experiences. We need to pivot toward an educational model that enhances creativity and cooperative communication but I just don't see that happening. It's still the bucket model of learn this don't ask questions, kids are a bucket and they need to be filled up by knowledge. It's outdated NOW, with absolutely no indication there will be significant changes.
