Arctic is still shut down

 

The twin typhoons have stopped all Arctic vortex production.  We are just into standard gloomy November weather.

ps and just to cheer me up a little, the Nino zone has lost all its hot blobs and the temp is diving

The N hemisphere temp has shed the little typhoon pimple

Although the N pole is being swept by tropical plumes, things are still generally cold, and the media is torn between the Ninnie and the Polar Vortex Fairies.  

This might take 2 weeks to start spinning again.  I officially lose on my prediction for a big Toronto October snow storm.  Very sad.

ps they are putting the Polar Vortex to bed, maybe

Both El Nino and the PV are imaginary, so they can do anything they want.

AI follows physics

 

This was a good show.  They all raced for 'First mover advantage', and there was no advantage.  I've done several posts on this, and the main point was that it had no physics.  They just went with a 'neural knot', like a worm brain, and it appeared to get smarter the bigger it got.  However, there was a scaling factor, due to the internal wave dynamics.

The human brain divides into many modules, with a main split in half.  Bright brains have evolved to link the modules in original ways.  

What people realized, is that all these people were cutting off their knees to gain height.  Because of the lag in learning, all the AI's were improving the productivity of things that were going obsolete.  Helping you write?  This blog proves nobody reads any more.  Self-driving cars?  Who goes out any more?

The AI was addressing things in a Hallmark movie, a book store in a small town.  There can be no originality, just marching through useless tedium, like math proofs.  Can't wait to get cheaper memory soon.

ps I have officially gone to 4 readers, after 3 years or 3.

The party continues with another typhoon

 

We'll just call this El Nino, why not?  Just as the weather forecast changed overnight to freezing, it changed back again.  A delicate balance.  

The Chaos reigns for Halloween!  Close enough for Ellie.  

The Arctic vortex ran away overnight.  We've got nothing.  As the proverbial cartoon villain:  "Curses, foiled again.  I'll get you next time!"

If for some reason, you are not in a party mood, two typhoons in a row is quite rare.  I expect the normal course of cold to continue in a couple of days.  Toronto is right on the edge.

ps there's no heat left in the Nino zone.  Those typhoons are running on heat in the west Pacific.

Somebody is happy.  Why don't they call this El Nino?

ps and just a minute ago, they were trotting out the Polar Vortex.

They are ready for whatever weather comes along.
