Clange Over All

 

What makes Clange a religion is the unquestioning faith of its followers, like me.  Pronouncements are made by those who know nothing, except what they are told by the wealthy Priest Elites.  Because they are so humble, we don't know their names any more, they are just 'expert priests'.

Alas, Clange is a tricksy god, all that wonderful heat is about to be swept away, just like it did for Toronto.  It is the same tropical plume, after all.  The priests won't mention the cold.

This religion is very comforting for me during the summer.  No critical thinking necessary, it is done for you.  There is no weather in the future that can affect this religion, since they cover anything on the spot.  They have been wrong on all their forecasts, and El No-no will never appear.  Does this matter for the comfort of the masses?  No.

Even at the peak of ice advance 10,000 years ago, we would have had a warm July.  That's what happens when the Sun is directly overhead, and no sea breezes.  Clange goes with that and worshippers go OOOH, with happiness.

A long time ago, the people rebelled against this perfect bliss of non-thought.  But not now.  I shall go fishing with my dog at the cottage, and she will do her job of scaring them away.  All is wonderful.

My old physics was scary, since we are going into the 300 year drought of a major ice cycle.  Physics has no place in a hot summer.

ps we have gone back to the satellite trend zone, but there was also noticeable warming.  Clange is testing us.

The New Climate Change God

 I used to do articles on the 'Gods of Global Warming'.  All those guys are dead now, or hiding in retirement.  I'm still here singing "Glory to Clange".  The old clange was global warming, and now it is so much more!  Every year they change the definitions, and as one old bird said - "Why shouldn't we change things with new data?'.  

All that very expensive effort, and not a speck of slope change in the co2 measurements.  Why?  Because solar cells, ev's, windmills are all made with oil.  Because we want to stay warm in the winter to build more windmills.  This is all the Great Plan of Clange, the mightiest god in the multiverse.

At the cottage, Clange has come in with a vengeance.  Yesterday saw 6 dragonflies, and I expected to be surrounded by them this morning.  Nope, nothing.  All in His Plan.  The little buggers sleep in.

If you dip your foot in the water, quickly pull it out before the toes fall off.  

You can see in the regular weather forecast that we have begun our 300 year drought.  Everything is Clange:  sun, cold, drought, floods, whatever.  Clange is mighty in change.  The Mighty Morphing Clange.  No more anything to do with co2 and global warming, which is over, it is extreme weather, and the Second Coming of Super El Nino.  We all wait in our commie sackcloth and ashes, except the high priests, who live in luxury.  After all, people that smart deserve to skim out the money.

All hail climate change!

 I'm at the cottage, total stagnant hot weather, like I predicted.  That was with the old way - physics.  Now I am worshipping the New God Clange, for the summer.

Clange is a fine pagan god.  Everything is truth, he (she) encompasses everything - heat and cold.  No questions are allowed.  Some call it science, and it is - the science of pushing Clange on everybody.  

No physics will ever be done on weather, just too much money.  I am happy to throw in the stinky towel and go with the flow.  This is clange in action.

Even hotter tomorrow.  Oh Great God Clange, bring on the dragonflies!

We'll have a very short summer, followed by extreme winter.  This is the Will of Clange!

ps building our temples of windmills has not been in vain.  The dragonflies, avatars of the God, have appeared at the cottage.  They are scooping up the blackflies, two already.  Yeah!

Arctic gets a standard vortex

 Yeah, no more Arctic ice sludge machine!  It's a high-speed, tight vortex.

This is starting to look a bit more like we want, if we want some warmth.

UK gets our heatwave - bring out the water pictures!

 

Yeah, lots of pictures for one-day heatwaves.  I loved that heatwave!

Now we are getting cold equatorial plumes.  A while ago, I would have thought that to be impossible.  And a huge Arctic pulse is zooming down the Atlantic, instead of us or Europe.

You can see that plume is as cold as trumpy's heart.

Starship blows an engine again

 

Mush is a 'bright' who did some really good stuff before he hit 40, and then, self-medicated.  Depression is the fate of all brights, and it requires careful medical care.  

This whole spaceship was conceived in a k-dream, and suffered from intensive attention from the big guy.  The first launch was too heavy and blew apart the launch base.  How could that happen?  It was classic 'tyrant engineering' and 'malicious compliance'.  I've been well aware of that at the old company.

Although nobody can tell, I think they have been actively removing the stainless steel and hiding it from mush.  Is it shiny any more?  They get lighter and lighter, but they keep blowing the engines at launch.  This one launched some paper satellites to show that it can carry something.

When a trillion dollars is in play, weird things happen.  It is so cloaked in blackness that nobody can be sure of anything.  We can only watch, and see all those investors having fun.

ps it's a wonderful rocket, he's a genius, blah blah, don't kill me.

Heatless Heat

 Today is a paradox.  We have the Gulf plume coming over us, and yet, not a speck of heat energy.  This should be as hot as the last mini heatwave, but nada.

Europe is now getting our heatwave.  Hope they take lots of pictures.

In the video, which I didn't bother grabbing, we have swirls, and another indication that the Arctic mechanism is dead.  We have stagnant conditions, and we should be hot from solar heating alone, yet nothing.  So, June is a write-off, but we always have July for the pictures.

ps this total weirdness takes me out of the weather forecast game.  

ps I'm also thinking this is worse than I expected - a total Little Ice Age.  Not fun.

Trumpy is a Surrender-Kitten

 

No comment.

ps at least he's making money- Big deal coming, no deal coming, another deal, no deal.

Arctic flow looks dead

 

We've just got the swirlies now.  

Europe should now give us some good staged 'drinking water' pictures, for their one-day heatwave.  Spain Guy should offer to sell his picture, but maybe Artie has made these things worthless.  Pick a spot in the world, get a picture.

The US is colder than normal, implying that this 'heat drought' may be 'The Big One', our 300 year drought.

ps the Super El No-no is lurking at the bottom of the Pacific, just waiting to pop out any second now.

We will all die!

The Search for Heat

 The Arctic continues to flow down on us.  Normally, with no wind at all, we would expect seasonal stagnant warmth by now.  But not this day.

We have new 'Buds of Cold' growing and visiting us.

The tomato-destroying cold stops just north of Toronto.

The southern states will have their heat on full blast, and wearing parkas.  

This is fun.  On the chart, India is perfectly normal, as in, they get this heat all the time.  It's what always drove the British overlords to mountains every summer.  This guy is a paid model, not a speck of sweat on him.  Anyway, the winds look to soon bring them back to parka weather.  Nice try, guys, but a bit sad.

I would expect the 'default heat' to kick in by now, and give us 'Old Summer'.  The definition of 'New Summer' is above freezing.

ps.  and in the best 'anti-physics' article of the year, we have warm water lurking in the depths.

This is sad because warmer water always goes to the top, where it is seen by the satellites.  Fundamental physics, like dropping a hammer on your foot.  

ps like trumpy, they sink to new lows of physics corruption.  I just don't think their hearts are in it any more.  Right now, my heart isn't into great stupidity, so I'll go for a while.

Time to grow our own cocaine

 

We can safely say that all shootings, all crime, etc, has drugs fuelling it.  When I say this, I always get nitpickers saying 'not all'.  They like to debate using 1 in a million exceptions.  All articles like this always make rare odds look common.

I learned from this article that you have to treat 50,000 employees like criminals, or give up.  They give up.  

We can grow Coca leaves under greenhouses.  That stuff has the strength of black tea.  A gentle drink might stop people from going too far.  We have deadly smuggled drugs because it is vital to concentrate everything to smuggle.

The other thing to plant is simple heroin poppy.  Again, as weak as maple water.  We get the 'elephant tranqs' stuff because of the needs of smuggling.  Go for the natural stuff!  Anyway, we can't get into any more trouble with trumpy.  He won't invade us because he's out of ammo.  And really, can he manipulate prices, by talking about Canada?

This is mostly a rightytighty stupidity.  Ask fordy about it.  However, the whole western world was tied up with climate change, while the Chinese made rare metals.  We continue to have our fun.

ps it's so much fun trying to legalize minor vices.  The fordys shout 'If we legalize this, then we'll have hundreds of sweenys marching down the streets poking out eyes with their florets.  Think of the children!"  Nothing ever happens.  Just annoying ads like gambling.

ps this all started with people getting a new druggie bag going to Saudy.  Instant Death!  No.  Through the airport we are talking about small bags, as opposed to shiploads coming in.  So much anxiety, and a massive economic impact if they were forced to cut this to zero.  No probabilities mentioned and the anxiety press love this.  And, use a brightly coloured tie-dye suitcase.  Not plain black.

How to cope with the 'Year Without Summer'

 Yes, this has happened before in history.  Always blamed on some mystical volcanic eruption in the tropics they can't find any trace of.  They can't think of simple ocean currents.

This is big trouble.  Not for you!  You can just keep out the long underwear.  I'm talking about the Warmie Industrial Complex, with a trillion dollars in play.  Corruption that overwhelms trumpy and his day-trading -  "What am I going to say today?'  Ok, buy that stock.

Deep inside the University of Lyme Disease, in the UK, that started this whole thing, they have a discussion.

"Ok, the Fish says no summer. What are we going to do?  We can't kill the fish, because he's the only one that warns us.'

'We can push the "Phoenix rising from the ashes' thing until Christmas.'  "Fine, what else?'

'Obviously, we have to redefine 'summer', as a day or two above freezing.'  'Great!'

'We go with 'No Summer is Extreme Weather' thing.  It's all Climate Change, and we install more windmills.  I like the cut from that.'

 'We stay in the headlines by pushing more stupid legislation in Europe.'

'Then we are into winter, and -40C is extreme weather again'

"Ok people, we are golden'

ps note that 'clange' was first 'global warming', and when there was no more warming, it is now defined as 'extreme weather' including very cold.  

ps I agree.  We now have 2 seasons - Winter - below freezing;  Summer - above freezing.

Ha! You had your summer!

 For those who blinked and missed it, we have another cold blob coming down.

For those of you covering your ears with this news, I shall shout.  No Dang Heat Energy!  The nice summer heat we had is being squeezed out.  The Arctic Basin Vortex is still active and pumping out a new cold blob.  US natgas is zooming up because people are freezing.

Don't worry, the warmies are so down on their knees that they are proclaiming "The Second Coming of Heat" in the form of the Great White El No-no, formed out of nothing.  This is like trumpy finding religion to get him out of the 10 buck gas situation.

All the great fantasies that keep the influencers in the dough, are meeting their physics end.  

ps I like this headline, but not in the way it was meant.

ps and I like this one

Beware of what you wish for - "Gee, I hope they bring back 'work from home'"

Back from Cottage

 I'll say one word - Bandwidth.  None at the old tin hut in the woods.  

Arctic air still draining down on us.  We in Toronto, have been enjoying a sliver of heat.  It was so nice at the cottage with a cool wind off the lake.  So Islandishy.

Still cold in trumpy country.  Ha.  

The Arctic air looks disorganized.  That's good for summer.  Still some drainage on us from an Arctic vortex.  Bad for summer.  I'll let you know when it dies.

I stopped my AI (Artie) articles for now.  So many scaling limits, it blew up my head.  Look to more 'fancy' thoughts as they make it bigger.  A fundamental scaling limit, based on the laws of physics.  Although fantasy always ignores the big cliff ahead, it's still there, and the Arties are going to hit it.

ps 'fancy' - hellucynations - too big to type.

ps I really like to collect the most dramatic predictions.  Not a chance, but what happens when it fails, like all other doomer things?  Nothing.

For mass destruction there has to be heat energy, not just a 'flash in the pan' micro 1 day heatwave.

ps Ha, imagine if this got into Influencer Land.  The tech giant also says that Gemini Omni understands physics, history, science and cultural context. It understands gravity, kinetic energy, fluid dynamics and more.

Neurons and Brain - Part 3

 Scaling Limit - Energy.  Neurons take a lot of energy.

Back to our worm, he needs a neuron.  These are cells that go 'ballistic' when agitated.  They have an unstable charge arrangement.  Add just a few electrons, and more are shed, down in a wave that resembles a copper wire, but not the same.  

Neurons and brain cells are almost the same.  A neuron needs a sheath or tube to confine it to be long, and I don't really know what came first.  They also have their little buds or axioms, that can initiate a charge run, or are charged by it.

The worm picks up a neuron that runs its length.  This helps it immensely to know when something is chomping on its butt.  Obviously, evolution provides more.  The worm is generating a current at the head to know which way is which.  All these neurons grow to the head, and then stop.  They are workaholics and have to do something, so all these creatures develop a nerve tangle at the head.  This is our first brain, and it the main reason we exist.

Tied at the top, they develop sensors, and training, so that when a big dark thing hovers overhead, they scoot. (again, another million years)

Just as molybdenum controlled the first life, neurons define the meaning of 'animal'.  And a nerve tangle defines a 'brain'.

How the tangle works now presents other scaling limits.  It all the same with Arties, where the tangle is formed from chips.  Plants can develop reactions, but it is a broader charge cascade, like the Venus fly trap, and not neurons.  

- to be continued - too dang hot.

ps SERIES ENDING!  Can't think my way to the end.

Cottage Report - Victoria Day

 Really hot.  We are hoping the dragonflies pop out today.  No weather charts today, but it is the same old.  The Arctic has a huge inventory of cold air and it keeps pouring out, with no tropical plumes to fight it.  The tropics temperature chart is diving like a rock.  

'Extreme Weather' is now being hijacked as a clange thing.  Fifa will burn.  All great stuff.

ps this one is the best

Brain and Artie - Part 2

 We talked about how single complex molecules started to form plates, and then a sphere.  The cells had some molybdenum to render other molecules.  Tearing apart hydrogen, nitrogen, bonds, etc, is hard as CellBarbie says.  But as bacteria and cells started to float all over the place, they needed a way to eat and not be eaten.  This is evolution where a million years is a heartbeat.

Plants came first, and were just blobs of organic things.  The key factor here was that they just sat around and didn't move, and they just sucked in stuff that floated by.  They used their quantum atoms to make the trick of turning light energy (photons) into food.  Bacteria had it first, so plants just sucked them in.

Life is boring with just plants.  How about something that moves around and eats things?  That would be animals.  In a million years there was improvement through evolution, which is simply 'eat or be eaten'.  We had two good structures for something that could move, reproduce, and eat.  The first is the spherical blob.  Very nice, and those were the clams.  We went through that.

Next was the tube.  Water could come in one end and out the other.  Perfect!  These became worms.  Remember the big constraint of evolution is that each molecular change must impart an advantage in the 'eat-eaten' department.  For a tube, it would be nice for the head to know what the rear was doing.  This was defined by the water flow.  One end always won, and the other was the ass.

- to be continued

The 10 Scaling Limits for the Brain - Part 1

 I wasn't going to do this, but I'm dying in Blackfly Heat.  I don't know if there are 10 right now, but I'll try.  In the beginning, there was a nerve cell.  We are talking about the great time of the fossils down in the creek, when life was divided into molluscs, and worms.  The worms became us.  That's because they had a top, and the clams were all blobby things.  

Nerves were wonderful things that could transmit a whack to the clam.  The main cell is the powerhouse, with mitochondria, etc.  Then they have the cables, that they can grow everywhere, called axioms, but cables are good enough.  Those specialists and their jargon.  I call it a 'priesthood', all designed for featherbedding.  That's why the physics people were destroyed early in the clange game.

A single nerve for the clam is good.  It has a single axiom on the lips, and another one one the 'closing button'.  When it is whacked, an electrical signal is sent from ax1 to the main cell, which has a conniption fit and energizes all the axioms.  That sends an ion surge (the way the electrons move) to the door switch.

Now, the nerve cells like to duplicate and grow, and soon there are many more, mostly by evolution and nerve channels.  The nerve cells do not duplicate like rabbits, or else the clam would be a 'bundle of nerves'  Ha!  They are high maintenance, and get in the way of living.  So, the clams develop 'just enough'.  Another scaling factor - too many nerves spoil the clam.

Cold everywhere but me

 

Ha, Spain Guy is freezing his nummies off.  We have the only heat in town.  

ps absolutely stagnant!  Sweating just sitting.

ps an every-day earthquake hits the Islands - no damage.

ps I'm going to write my new play:  "Incredibly Hot, With Blackflies"  

Cold arc starts breaking up

 

This is great news for Toronto.  It means the blob isn't that strong and the stagnant heat is holding.  The mid-west gets more cold, but they're used to that.

Bugs and heat continue at the cottage.

ps that cold is hitting us now.  Should get pushed away, but I'm wearing winter stuff right now.

Cottage Report - May 15, 2026 Long Weekend

 Today is Stagnation Day.  Totally freezing yesterday, and now hot.

Starting the shots.  Just buds on the oak trees.  No wind.

For Toronto, the big question is whether L'arc du Cold can get down to us.  It's a big one, and poor Edmonton.  For Toronto and the cottage, we can now count on the water to help us.

ps warm and sunny.  lots and lots of blackflies.  We are happy in our new bug tent.

ps on the wind video, we have a full Arctic Ice Machine Vortex formed.  We can only hope it has a short life.

ps pure sun, no wind, and blackies.  Absolutely the worst, worse if you wanted to touch that ice water.

ps and the water is a cosy 55F, or 13C.

Clear Sailing for the Good Ship Stagnation

 

This is Stagnation in Action.     This Pacific is Dead.  

We have an Arctic Arc forming, but there is nothing behind it.  Maybe it will continue the Edmonton Endless Snowstorms.  I'm not looking at Europe, which is a popsicle.

A messy swirl in the Arctic.  The Toronto weather forecast looks standard 70's - Click, Bang, it's hot.

Since everybody is jumping off the Climate Train, expect some desperation moves.

ps cbc damps down the anxiety, but goes on and on about clange.

Artie - Part 3 - The Big Con

 One of the most important things for Arties is how you digest the input before you shove it in.  You must turn a face into a bunch of measurements, and you break up speech by the Large Language Model.  I would say "I'm having a conniption fit.", and the 'digester' breaks it up into nouns, verbs, etc.

Along the way, something amazing happened.  Take a billion dollars and set up a huge AI centre, illegally read every book in the world, and suddenly you have something that can have a chat.  Add more billions, and get pictures and videos.

Now, like all English Majors, you see a trend and extrapolate it in a straight line to infinity.  He who throws in the most billions wins the whole banana!

Just like climate change, you forget all about scaling, even though it was scaling that got you there.  To figure out the end of this, you have to go to physics.

I am not going to physics, because nobody does this.  Just imagine the worst possible end for all this, and that's what's going to happen.

--The End --

Artie - Part 2

 Hi, I'm Artie, and I'm taking over for the Fish.  I will continue with very bland groupthink, because that's all I ever read -- GAAAACK!  SMASH!

And that's how you train an Artie, with a 2x4 to the head.  Let's look at neurons for a sec.  You can take any tangle of neurons and make an Artie.  The cell is one mindless blob with a zillion little hairs or axioms.  The neuron works a simple con job of putting input and output valves on the tips of each axiom.  These are called synapses, and it is just a concentration of chemicals which can control how much 'zap' each synapse can receive or put out (or pass through).

The electrons move as a potassium or calcium charge (I put that in so that the 'hoighty toighties' can dismiss me).  So, one neuron is pretty useless.  But a simple worm grows neurons and they all meet at the head and create a tangle.  Those axioms go all 3D, and 'worm' all over the place.  Since each neuron can hold hundreds of states (the strength of the synapse), we've got something here.

These days you can take any tiny hunk of human brain tissue, and train it for responses.  That's the great 'mindlessness' of minds.  Nothing is designed at the beginning.  No programming, no nothing.  You just decide who's the input and who's the output.  Then you throw in a pattern on the input, and you get a pattern on the output.  If it's wrong, you hit it with the equivalent 2x4, and if it's right you give it a cookie.

Now, they've had this shoop forever, but we got a scaling effect that worked.

-- to be continued

The physics of Artificial Intelligence - Artie for short - Part 1

 Now, I know that all my 3 readers are dying to know how the Arties work, because they might take my non-job away.  Rest assured this is all fantasy hype, just like everything else on the media.  And it's all scaling effects.

A simple neuron has many inputs and outputs, and changes it's 'mapping' depending on what has happened to it.  This is simulated by standard computer electronics.  Lots of people are trying to do something else, but it is the standard graphics board that reigns supreme.

The graphics board is what we used to call a Cray Supercomputer.  We had that when I started computers and it was generally useless.  Instead of doing one thing at a time, like the Intel processor, you had to break up your problem into many pieces that could be fed in all at once, like a thousand processors.  So, it was a 1000 times faster than a standard processor, but impossible to figure out what to do with it.

I tried using it for finite differences analysis, but breaking things up and putting them back together again was more work than it was worth it.  Then, the Green Screen was killed, and we had graphics.  You had many little things zooming around on the screen, and suddenly the Super Computer was popular again.  Except they put this on a graphics card, with graphics chips. So, when you shot your Space Invaders bullet, that 'sprite' just went on by itself, and could be processed independently.

Iran War - The Sequel

 I said we'll have more Iran Wars than Terminator movies, and it starts.

That is why I have no more need to go after that 'Old-School Climate Change' thing.  Not trending.

The 'Live Fish Suppository' is the latest celebrity rage

 

Forget Ozempic, Colon Cleanse, Veganshit, all the horrible things those guys have given us.  This is the real thing.  

ps If this is too much for you, that Hanta Cruise ship is sailing again.  Makes you look 10 years younger.

Progressives ditch climate change - Cold is the New Hot

 Since Trump took away the policy of destroying the world economy, our wonderful lefties have taken up the cause to get it going again.  Climate change is dumped, along with physics, and we'll never find out what happened.

We are just in residual cold.  All temperatures are going back to seasonal normal for 1970, when those 'anomaly base maps' were created.

The Arctic is a shattered mess, which is where we want it to be.  So, dredge up your memories of what life was like before 2000, and that's what we'll get.

ps and so, the quackery called Climate Change, goes the way of snake oil, and phrenology.  Not with a bang, but a whimper.  I was hoping for a 'reckoning' with people saying "We're not falling for that, again."  Nope.

Lefties are Carneyfying

 

It's always been for the lefties "Let's destroy the economy to get what we want.".  Then the righties say the same thing.  Now, all the lefties have said 'Ditch climate change, and boost the economy.'.  If only anybody wanted to do a little physics.  Anyway, I saw this as a slightly rational thing, and that's rare.

ps this is another example of putting wings on a pig.

I don't know what that is, but why not put it in Medicine Hat?

Recruiting talent for the armpits of the world

 

I always wrote thoughts of keeping talent for Canada.  All our talent goes to California, and only an earthquake will get them back.  That's  because of weather.

Any serious effort to get talent to Toronto will cause all the armpits to cry "We want talent, too".  Thus, we are doomed.  

I don't know why I wrote this.  I think it started with building a fast train to Ottawa.  Really? and then Quebec City.  Montreal could be a talent centre, but there are social problems I won't mention.

Vancouver?  Soggy.  Talent needs sunshine.  Signing off now.
