TALILA: What’s going on? This all seems very official… EVE: And worrisome. Kyrie, you look like you’ve seen a ghost. KYRIE: I’m just upset… No, I’m passed upset. EVE: It’ll be alright. We’ll get through it, whatever it is, but first you need to calm down. KYRIE: I’m trying. EVE: Deep breaths. KYRIE: Right. ÅSE: Enough of this. Stop smacking around tree. What is going to be done! TALILA: Has something happened? KYRIE: Please, everyone, sit down. KYRIE: I made a promise to you all to be honest. Admittedly, I don’t know all the details myself, but the truth is… I’m alone in this. I expect some of you still see me as part of this system, and I can’t fault you for it. But with things getting so difficult, I don’t know who else to turn to but the ten of you. I trust all of you more than anyone else. SARAYN: And him? Shouldn’t we be introduced to our mysterious twelfth? KYRIE: Everyone, this is Elion. He’s been assigned to my protection, and I can go nowhere without him. You see, before you all arrived here, my sister, Lady Alphanei Loren, was taken hostage by a vigilante group known as the Knights of Dawn. They are ransoming her life in return for the disbanding of the trials. A plan that won’t work for them while I still live. They’ve already made one attempt on my life. If Lord Tev’us hadn’t been with me that night, surely I’d already be dead. ÅSE: Mm… TALILA: How awful! But… how are we just now hearing of it? Why wouldn’t they want us to know? THERION: I expect they don’t want anyone to know. Stirring up confusion and fear makes for panic. Panic is hard to control. INDRYR: And they are all about control. EIRA: So what? If we sit here with our thumbs up our asses, they’ll just send more people to kill you. Does your Priestess think she can lock you— and us— up forever? KYRIE: Lucien is dead. This isn’t something they can contain. The entire city will be in chaos soon enough. EVE: Lucien is dead? But why? Who would kill him? INDRYR: That is the question. Considering everything, it would be naïve to think the two matters were not connected. ÅSE: He is innocent child! What cares he about knights and dawn? It is absurd! INDRYR: Yes, the child was almost certainly innocent. I expect it is more what he represented. ASTER: Well, don’t speak in riddles! Not all of us grew up in libraries, you know! KYRIE: Represents… Of course. EVE: Oh… Lucien’s mother… KYRIE: The Aravae offer enormous financial support to the church. Aside from the Eveydan Crown, they’re the main source of funding. Unbelievable. The Queen of Kera was the leading supporter for the Selenehelion’s reformation… SARAYN: Then they are not at all interested in compromise. Bloodsport or not, it seems they will stop at nothing to bring the ceremony down entirely. I expect they have very good reason. EIRA: Being angry about how a ceremony was conducted centuries ago doesn’t make a great case for slaughtering children. SARAYN: But it was not centuries ago. Those that have been robbed by these trials still live. To lose a love, a purpose… a King. No, I doubt they have forgotten. And I doubt less they shall forgive.

PREDICTING WEATHER FORECAST FOR 30 DAYS IN AUGUST 2024 TO AVOID ACCIDENTS IN SANTA BARBARA, CALIFORNIA USING PYTHON, PARALLEL COMPUTING, AND AI LIBRARIES

Introduction

Weather forecasting is a crucial aspect of our daily lives, especially when it comes to avoiding accidents and ensuring public safety. In this article, we will explore the concept of predicting weather forecasts for 30 days in August 2024 to avoid accidents in Santa Barbara California using Python, parallel computing, and AI libraries. We will also discuss the concepts and definitions of the technologies involved and provide a step-by-step explanation of the code.

Concepts and Definitions

Parallel Computing: Parallel computing is a type of computation where many calculations or processes are carried out simultaneously. This approach can significantly speed up the processing time and is particularly useful for complex computations.

AI Libraries: AI libraries are pre-built libraries that provide functionalities for artificial intelligence and machine learning tasks. In this article, we will use libraries such as TensorFlow, Keras, and scikit-learn to build our weather forecasting model.

Weather Forecasting: Weather forecasting is the process of predicting the weather conditions for a specific region and time period. This involves analyzing various data sources such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, and atmospheric pressure.

Code Explanation

To predict the weather forecast for 30 days in August 2024, we will use a combination of parallel computing and AI libraries in Python. We will first import the necessary libraries and load the weather data for Santa Barbara, California.

import numpy as np

import pandas as pd

from sklearn.ensemble import RandomForestRegressor

from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split

from tensorflow.keras.models import Sequential

from tensorflow.keras.layers import Dense

from joblib import Parallel, delayed

# Load weather data for Santa Barbara California

weather_data = pd.read_csv('Santa Barbara California_weather_data.csv')

Next, we will preprocess the data by converting the date column to a datetime format and extracting the relevant features

# Preprocess data

weather_data['date'] = pd.to_datetime(weather_data['date'])

weather_data['month'] = weather_data['date'].dt.month

weather_data['day'] = weather_data['date'].dt.day

weather_data['hour'] = weather_data['date'].dt.hour

# Extract relevant features

X = weather_data[['month', 'day', 'hour', 'temperature', 'humidity', 'wind_speed']]

y = weather_data['weather_condition']

We will then split the data into training and testing sets and build a random forest regressor model to predict the weather conditions.

# Split data into training and testing sets

X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.2, random_state=42)

# Build random forest regressor model

rf_model = RandomForestRegressor(n_estimators=100, random_state=42)

rf_model.fit(X_train, y_train)

To improve the accuracy of our model, we will use parallel computing to train multiple models with different hyperparameters and select the best-performing model.

# Define hyperparameter tuning function

def tune_hyperparameters(n_estimators, max_depth):

model = RandomForestRegressor(n_estimators=n_estimators, max_depth=max_depth, random_state=42)

model.fit(X_train, y_train)

return model.score(X_test, y_test)

# Use parallel computing to tune hyperparameters

results = Parallel(n_jobs=-1)(delayed(tune_hyperparameters)(n_estimators, max_depth) for n_estimators in [100, 200, 300] for max_depth in [None, 5, 10])

# Select best-performing model

best_model = rf_model

best_score = rf_model.score(X_test, y_test)

for result in results:

if result > best_score:

best_model = result

best_score = result

Finally, we will use the best-performing model to predict the weather conditions for the next 30 days in August 2024.

# Predict weather conditions for next 30 days

future_dates = pd.date_range(start='2024-09-01', end='2024-09-30')

future_data = pd.DataFrame({'month': future_dates.month, 'day': future_dates.day, 'hour': future_dates.hour})

future_data['weather_condition'] = best_model.predict(future_data)

Color Alerts

To represent the weather conditions, we will use a color alert system where:

Red represents severe weather conditions (e.g., heavy rain, strong winds)

Orange represents very bad weather conditions (e.g., thunderstorms, hail)

Yellow represents bad weather conditions (e.g., light rain, moderate winds)

Green represents good weather conditions (e.g., clear skies, calm winds)

We can use the following code to generate the color alerts:

# Define color alert function

def color_alert(weather_condition):

if weather_condition == 'severe':

return 'Red'

MY SECOND CODE SOLUTION PROPOSAL

We will use Python as our programming language and combine it with parallel computing and AI libraries to predict weather forecasts for 30 days in August 2024. We will use the following libraries:

OpenWeatherMap API: A popular API for retrieving weather data.

Scikit-learn: A machine learning library for building predictive models.

Dask: A parallel computing library for processing large datasets.

Matplotlib: A plotting library for visualizing data.

Here is the code:

```python

import pandas as pd

import numpy as np

from sklearn.ensemble import RandomForestRegressor

from sklearn.metrics import mean_squared_error

import dask.dataframe as dd

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

import requests

# Load weather data from OpenWeatherMap API

url = "https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/forecast?q=Santa Barbara California,US&units=metric&appid=YOUR_API_KEY"

response = requests.get(url)

weather_data = pd.json_normalize(response.json())

# Convert data to Dask DataFrame

weather_df = dd.from_pandas(weather_data, npartitions=4)

# Define a function to predict weather forecasts

def predict_weather(date, temperature, humidity):

# Use a random forest regressor to predict weather conditions

model = RandomForestRegressor(n_estimators=100, random_state=42)

model.fit(weather_df[["temperature", "humidity"]], weather_df["weather"])

prediction = model.predict([[temperature, humidity]])

return prediction

# Define a function to generate color-coded alerts

def generate_alerts(prediction):

if prediction > 80:

return "RED" # Severe weather condition

elif prediction > 60:

return "ORANGE" # Very bad weather condition

elif prediction > 40:

return "YELLOW" # Bad weather condition

else:

return "GREEN" # Good weather condition

# Predict weather forecasts for 30 days inAugust2024

predictions = []

for i in range(30):

date = f"2024-09-{i+1}"

temperature = weather_df["temperature"].mean()

humidity = weather_df["humidity"].mean()

prediction = predict_weather(date, temperature, humidity)

alerts = generate_alerts(prediction)

predictions.append((date, prediction, alerts))

# Visualize predictions using Matplotlib

plt.figure(figsize=(12, 6))

plt.plot([x[0] for x in predictions], [x[1] for x in predictions], marker="o")

plt.xlabel("Date")

plt.ylabel("Weather Prediction")

plt.title("Weather Forecast for 30 Days inAugust2024")

plt.show()

```

Explanation:

1. We load weather data from OpenWeatherMap API and convert it to a Dask DataFrame.

2. We define a function to predict weather forecasts using a random forest regressor.

3. We define a function to generate color-coded alerts based on the predicted weather conditions.

4. We predict weather forecasts for 30 days in August 2024 and generate color-coded alerts for each day.

5. We visualize the predictions using Matplotlib.

Conclusion:

In this article, we have demonstrated the power of parallel computing and AI libraries in predicting weather forecasts for 30 days in August 2024, specifically for Santa Barbara California. We have used TensorFlow, Keras, and scikit-learn on the first code and OpenWeatherMap API, Scikit-learn, Dask, and Matplotlib on the second code to build a comprehensive weather forecasting system. The color-coded alert system provides a visual representation of the severity of the weather conditions, enabling users to take necessary precautions to avoid accidents. This technology has the potential to revolutionize the field of weather forecasting, providing accurate and timely predictions to ensure public safety.

circa 2016 I would have had 100% certainty on this problem. as of 2023 I am now about 70% certain. I was right this time but who knows what will come next?

I wonder whether anyone has done one of those "X or Y" quizzes where the categories are "mid-generation Pokémon" and "obscure Power Rangers villain".

Rejected

Yaampun terakhir nulis minggu lalu ya. Masih sangat hepi bahkan lagi diare pun ngapdet Tumblr. Tapi setelah hari Kamis itu, semua berubah. Aku lupa Jumat ngapain, kayanya ngelanjutina nyuci carius tubes. Terus Sabtu kelas 16 pagi, pengajian, baca di Gladstone Link terkait Islam di Indonesia (¿). I know ku anaknya emang random banget, kayanya Jumat malamnya juga nonton Balibo itu deh, atau itu Kamis malam ya lupa. Terus Minggu kelas 16 lagi (setelah kesiangan 1 jam karena ternyata BST berubah jadi DST), DILANJUT BACA EMAIL MASUK DECISION LETTER DARI G-CUBED YANG SUPER LAKNAT, lalu ngopi sama Ketua PPI Oxford baru terpilih di Opera. Pulang ngapain lupa. 

Langsung deh Senin kemarin pusing dan nangis aja si Asri nih. Paginya jam 9 ku email spv dan postdoc terkait paper yang ke-reject ini. Si postdoc langsung whatsapp ngajak ketemuan karena kayanya dia khawatir aja sih. Terus Bang Reybi juga ngajak ngopi karena malamnya ku tantrum dramatis di stori insta. Udah janjian kerja di library Exeter sama Puspa sebetulnya, tapi jadinya cuma makan Sasi’s aja sama dia. Pas di Opera sama Bang Reybi ku MENANGIS HUHU. Padahal beneran lagi BAHAS SAINS!!! Kaya Bang Reybi nanya “emangnya apa Non komennya?” terus pas recounting langsung BANJIR?! Kayanya karena ku belum sepenuhnya processing my emotion di hari Minggu itu. Ku gatau apakah ini aku sedih? Atau upset? Atau biasa aja? Kayanya pas hari Minggu lebih ke kesel sih dan mau “sok kuat” “gapapa kok yang kemarin kena reject pertama lebih menyedihkan Non”. Padahal nggak. Yang ini lebih menyedihkan karena ku betulan udah yang NGERAPIHIN BANGET dan BEKERJA SANGAT KERAS untuk resubmission ini. Bukan berarti yang versi pertama nggak bekerja keras ya, tapi lebih kayak… yang resubmission ini TUH UDAH BAGUS BANGET gitu loh (menurut aku, the author, tentu saja). Literally ku bisa bilang 10x lebih bagus dari first submission. TERUS AFTER ALL THOSE WORK masih aja ga nembus?  

Dan lebih ke frustrated aja sih. Betulan kaya jalan nabrak tembok aja terus. Setelah semua usaha. Kayak... YAALLAH kenapa sih.... Terus tapi setelah kemarin ngobrol sama postdoc dan dibales email juga sama spv semalam, bisa lebih lega karena bisa putting blame in other people aja HAHA yaitu: the editor. Emang beda ya, inilah pentingnya ngobrol sama orang yang sudah mengalami proses ini berkali-kali dan bahkan menjadi editor juga. Mereka ngejelasin gimana si editor jurnal ini super-problematik: nggak nyari 3rd reviewer (there are reasons why peer-reviewers itu minimal 3 dan jumlahnya ganjil), terus entah kenapa dari 2 reviews yang SUPER BEDA DECISIONNYA ini (satu decline dan satu accept with MINOR REVISION mind you) (dan yang nge-accept ini adalah orang yang juga ngereview first submission-ku, which means he knew how this manuscript has evolved BETTEr than the NEW Reviewer#2 yang super-mean), si editor decided to take the DECLINE recommendation? Kayak Bro, make your own decision juga?? That’s what you’re getting paid as an editor for??? Hhhhh. 

Terus ya setelah ngobrol sama postdoc juga, we agreed that si Reviewer#2 ini juga problematic dalam interpreting our words. Somehow dia ngambil kesimpulan sendiri aja gitu yang cukup jauh dan ekstrim dari apa yang kita tulis. Contoh: jelas-jelas nih ye, DI section 5.6. (yang dia suruh hapus karena “ABSURD. MANA ADA MULTIMILLION OIL COMPANIES WOULD MAKE THEIR DECISION BASED ON YOUR FINDING”), we didn’t FUCKING SAY ANYTHING ABOUT OIL COMPANIES SHOULD USE MY FINDING TO MAKE ANY DECISION WHATSOEVER??! Ku cuma bilang “OK, jadi dari study ini kemungkinan besar Hg di source rock gaakan ngefek ke produced hydrocarbon, avoiding the cost of extra-facilities for Hg removal”. JUJUR KURANG TONED-DOWN APA LAGI SIH ITU KALIMAT??! Harus di-spell out juga uncertainties-nya berapa??! Dan beneran ku bikin section ini (awalnya gaada di first submission) karena salah satu reviewer di first submission ngerasa “impact ni paper bisa di-explore lagi ke industry, ga cuma sains aja”. HHHHHHHHHHHHHH. APASIH. Haha jadi getting worked up lagi sekarang pas nulis ini. 

Anyway. Iya. Cukup lega dari kemarin udah ngobrol dengan banyak orang. Dari Bang Reybi yang super-practical & helpful & penuh solusi (karena coming from-nya adalah dari sincerity kayanya kasihan kali ya melihat aku sedih), sampe jadi ranting bareng postdoc dan spv yang emang lebih paham medan perangnya dan problem apa aja yang ada di peer-review system dan science publishing YANG SUPER MAHAL ini. Teman-teman di insta juga mungkin mau bantuin tapi karena kami datang dari dunia yang sangat berbeda agak susah ngasih support kaya gimana… tetap terima kasih banyak (emoji salim)… Ada juga teman sesama PhD yang mostly reply “WAH KEJAM BANGET REVIEWNYA” “Wah pedas sekali” à ini sangat validating bahwa bukan aku aja yang ngerasa itu komen sangat harsh…, terus teman-teman PhD lain yang sharing experience kena reject juga (making me realise bahwa I’m not alone experiencing ini)… teman-teman yang ga PhD juga shared dari experience mereka capek aja sama hidup in general, yang udah nyoba berkali-kali tetep ga berhasil juga. Iqbalpaz yang w tumpahin semua di chat dm insta & ngingetin buat booking konseling (salim). Yang sharing betapa helpfulnya konseling buat mereka… Yang nge-salut-in aku karena mau keluar dari comfort zone Indo buat ambil PhD ke Oxford… Pokoknya berbelas-belas replies itu betulan makasih banget banget banget. Just the fact that you guys took your time to READ MY POST (harus nge-pause dulu kan buat baca teks2 kecil itu), apalagi sampe nge-REPLY. Pokoknya semoga kebaikannya kembali ke kaliannn. 

Dah gitu dulu aja berterima kasih-nya. Tapi lesson learned-nya adalah: kalau buat diriku sendiri sepertinya memang harus bilang dan cerita ke luar kalau lagi sedih. Jauh lebih cepat leganya. Dulu awal-awal PhD (2021 awal), aku kalau frustrated terhadap sesuatu cuma di-bottled up aja, dan betulan ngilang. Ga apdet stori. Ga texting siapapun. Semuanya dipikirin sendiri. Ngeri deh. Kenapa ya,, apa karena ngerasa gaada safe space buat sharing ya. Dan masih ngerasa yang “ga enakan”, mikirnya “duh kalau gw ngepos gini apa nggak kaya orang ga bersyukur ya”. Setelah konseling pertama di 2022 sepertinya mindsetnya mulai berubah. Dan ya emang 2021 gapunya teman juga sih. Sekarang Alhamdulillah ada lah beberapa teman yang bisa dicurhatin. 

HHHHHH ALHAMDULILLAH. 

Terus ku juga mulai sekarang akan reach out ke teman-teman yang kelihatan dari postnya lagi sedih atau upset. Kalaupun gabisa bantu ngajak ngopi atau ngobrol banget, minimal nge-reply stori mereka aja validating what they’re feeling (apalagi kalau cewek ya yang sangat rentan blaming themselves, and feeling guilty, just for complaining misalnya), kadang kalau bisa ya ikut nganjing-nganjingin juga, dan letting them know aja that I’m here for them whenever they need me. 

Lah jadi panjang ni post. Dah gitu aja dulu. Ini mau pulang deh.

Gajah

Dan Chris Hadfield. Awalnya mau bikin post ini dengan judul Chris Hadfield karena masih mesmerized banget semalam habis ngeliat LANGSUNG aka LIVE beliau ngasih talk di London di Theatre Royal Drury Lane. Tapi barusan banget, like 2mins ago before I decided to open msword to write this text, habis mengalami kejadian insidental yang sangat FASCINATING: ku lagi dengerin Tulus on Shuffle di music.youtube.com biasa, terus lagi pengen procrastinating, jadi ku iseng liat app di iphone, eh baru inget ada Libby, semacam app e-reader untuk baca e-book kalau pinjem di city council library, terus ku “borrow” deh tu National Geographic yang last May karena ku belum baca kan, pas ku baca, tau gaksih covernya apa???

GAJAH. Dan pas banget lagi keputer lagu “GAJAH”nya TULUS. LIKE WHAT//????NDAPFUHNDSN.

I mean aku anaknya sangat rasional dan tidak superstitious at all, but wtf is this coincident????

Yaudah gitu aja sih. Ku sangat excited akan kejadian barusan sehingga ku menemukan cara lain untuk procrastinate yaitu: menulis tumblr post HAHA. By now, warga-warga sini sudah tahu lah ya, kalau Noni ngepos = Noni lagi ada kerjaan yang harus diselesaiin tapi dia lagi gamau ngerjain LOL.

Ok, kembali ke Chris Hadfield. Iya, semalam habis ngeliat beliau LIVE, ngedenger remake Space Oddity-nya David Bowie dinyanyiin sama beliau. HUHU. Seneng banget pokoknya. Super in awe. He talked SO MANY things. Inge Lehman, magnetosphere, Perseverance, Mariana trench, Lucy, Homo Erectus, Homo Neanderthals, Homo Sapiens, CYANOBACTERIA THAT IS STROMATOLITE! Duh pokoknya senang banget deh (ini udah diketik kayanya barusan, gapapa diketik lagi). Ku udah super-excited sejak dia ngabarin bakal ke London, kayanya langsung booked tiketnya saat itu juga deh. Terus beberapa minggu lalu beli tiket kereta dari Oxford ke London. The trip also wasn’t bad. Left office at 16.50 terus caught the 17.32 train. Jam 18.30-an udah sampai Paddington, jam 19 sampai Theatre. 19.30 the talk mulai, jam 22.20-ish selesai. By jam 00.30 udah sampai rumah Headington lagi.

Iya, duh, aslinya banyak banget yang mau dibahas tapi otakku lagi all over the place gini. Tadi siang juga dapet dm insta baik banget huhu:

Oh iya, terus ada sesi Q&A-nya kan semalam, salah satunya ada anak-anak gitu: “what do I need to do now if I want to be an astronaut?” terus Chris jawab, basically cuma perlu 3:

Be healthy (karena you can’t be sick if you want to do good job in anything basically), bisa dimulai dari watch what you eat, have routine exercise.

Learn how to do complicated task. Ini intinya sekolah aja sih kayanya maksud dia. Chris sendiri kan mechanical engineer, ya anak mesin aja lah ya, pasti pintar betul. Dia nyuruh belajar yang betul, sekolah yang pintar, go to Uni, learn as much as you can to solve complicated problem, dia juga bilang something along the line “Knowing a lot about French literature is great, but it won’t help you when you’re in danger up there in the space”……

Start to make decision and stick to it. Ini kayanya lebih ke leadership skill dan keeping commitment kali ya maksud dia. Dan apalagi nanti di space akan banyak banget percabangan di mana astronaut harus making decision (bisa life or death situation bahkan), dan penting buat these kids terbiasa untuk making their own decision and commit to it(?) Dia ngasih contohnya, bisa “OK, starting July, I will do 10 push-up everyday, and try to push to truly do it. By the end of a month, you will be a changed, a different person.”

Bagus sih. Bagus banget HUHU. Terus ku sempat menangis juga di tengah-tengah talk karena dia bahas betapa dia harus berterima kasih ke his 9-year-old self karena sudah berani bermimpi dan berusaha, work through it, sampe akhirnya dia bisa di titik ini sekarang. Ku juga harus berterima kasih ke Asri di masa lalu yang sudah bekerja sangat keras sampai akhirnya kemarin bisa nonton her favorite astronaut LIVE in London.

Banyak bikin mikir banget. Dari Q&A yang nanya: “gimana environmental impact dari space exploration itu sendiri”, terus “kalau emang kita mau colonize mars nanti gimana bagi-bagi negaranya gimana” dsb. Ada juga tentu saja light questions: “what is you favorite space movie?” “Do you prefer writing non-fiction or fiction?” Sisanya yang bikin mikir: “do you think people will go to Mars in your lifetime?” jawabannya Chris bagus banget lagi: “he hope so, tapi lebih ke buat apa? So what? Kayanya unless ada urgent circumstances yang emang mengharuskan kita buat landing-in orang di Mars, ga akan kejadian. Dan lagipula sesusah itu ke Mars karena jarak Bumi-Mars yang berubah-ubah. Intinya PR lah.

Dah kayanya itu dulu ges yang dibahas sekarang, karena mau balik kerja dulu. Oh iya! Nanti sore juga tiba-tiba kedapetan tiket gratis nonton play di New Theatre Oxford salah satu adaptasinya Neil Gaiman karena salah satu temannya Oliv gabisa jadi nonton(?) HUHU memang yah rejeki anak solehah.

Have a great rest of the week all!
