Sunairio has been awarded a National Science Foundation (NSF) Small Business Innovation Research Phase I grant which funds high-impact technological R&D across a range of disciplines.

For Sunairio, this award will fund research into a scalable climate simulation engine that aims to generate climate insights for the energy sector at what the company says is 1,000 times the resolution of traditional, physics-based global climate models.

“The need for this research stems directly from the needs of the modern power grid, which is increasingly dependent on very localized, weather-driven assets like wind, solar and distributed generation,” says Rob Cirincione, CEO of Sunairio. “Given how variable wind and solar irradiance can be, there’s no way to ensure a reliable grid or a profitable energy investment without understanding how weather variability at many locations will affect grid supply and demand balances. Sunairio is working to create more robust predictions that allow us to reduce risk on multiple fronts.”

The company’s simulation engine uses generative AI and advanced statistics that it says early research shows can replicate forward-looking local hourly weather patterns and climate trends for up to 15 years.

Sunairio expects R&D for the platform’s next iteration to be complete within the year.

Could Obama Pass a Cognitive Test?

Not sure about this.

A magna cum laude graduate of Harvard Law School might struggle to identify a bear. Could be.

This is the intelligence level of the American electorate today.

Big Win for Those Incapable of Elementary School Math

The Chinese ownership of American farmland is less than 0.00036, or 0.036%.  To put this into perspective, if the entirety of U.S. farmland were reduced to one acre, the Chinese government and business interests would own less than 15 square feet, about half the size of a small broom closet.

Yet, true to form, this is a huge issue for the MAGA base.

Social Justice and Despotism?

Published

on


This guy is quite effective in talking to uneducated, conservative Americans, most of whom have never traveled to, or even read anything about the happiest countries on Earth.

If I were going to make a statement about the relationship between social justice and despotism, I would at least consider the lives of the people in places that consider social justice to be something of importance, and compare/contrast this to the list of the countries that are perennially at the top of the World Happiness Rankings.

What makes the people in New Zealand, Iceland, Costa Rica, Northern Europe, etc., so happy?  Why do these are these nations suffer exactly zero despotism?

I would be completely ashamed of myself if I were to forward a political theory that had precisely no basis in fact.
