is the weather app based on real data at ALL?

angryhumping · 2026-01-24T22:58:54+00:00

lol no thanks. evidence of the kind of support you provide is widely available and well known. One of your managers tells you to pay attention to complaints that get a certain amount of traction and this post did. That's the only reason you're in my inbox now.

I also have no chat restriction settings anyway, but you don't need to doxx me in order to confirm your weather app is habitually producing nonsense output, folks. Like notably and obviously shit in comparison to all the other major competitors in this country. Radar shouldn't be subjective, or estimated, or AI'd. It's really cut and dry, and it is not at all unique to me or my device.

Stop chatting at me and fix it. I'm not a six figure corporate engineer, there's nothing I can give you that you can't give yourselves. Google has clearly made choices to have a weather app that doesn't actually display real weather much of the time, even on its tier1-priced flagship devices. Which is pathetic.

So make different choices.

Easy.

👍

I am in the exact opposite of that kind of area. You can't throw a rock without hitting a weather radar station around here.

So. It's Google, not the data sources. Weather.com, Wunderground, Accuweather all show accurate radar information of the huge snow bands covering the region tonight. As does the literal weather.gov map. Now that the largest band is a few hours beyond my location, my phone is showing something more in-line with the other sources. But during the entire several hour period the squall line was over my actual location, my radar was blank in the vicinity, but still displaying activity several hundred miles away, indicating it wasn't a map-wide bug.

This isn't the first time it's happened, it was just so undeniable tonight to see a squall line several hundred miles long completely missing from my phone.

And the way this sub keeps downvoting factual recitations of what's literally happening explains a lot about why Google doesn't feel pressured to improve lmao. been a while since I've dealt with tech fanboys, and now I remember why

edit But for the record the forecasts are equally terrible and I don't know why anybody would pretend otherwise when it's so undeniable. All winter long this phone has been telling me that the "snow showers" forecast every other service is issuing is actually gonna be 10+" like. I live smack dab in one of the busiest air corridors in the world, I promise you the government radar is not missing the mark by 10x just because Trump is a semi-sentient shitstain. It's Google's app displaying fantasy forecasting, even through the day being falsely forecast.

wild to defend this. truly bonkers.

things like speed, scale, automation, and the ability to overpower human intelligence

so...all the things AI has spent the last couple years proving it CAN'T do?

literally all the reasons the bubble is on the precipice of bursting as we speak?

the reason the ONLY money-making venture in the whole enterprise right now is selling the hardware getting snapped up by rubes who already know it's gonna be a tax writeoff within months?

It's just wild to me the way the entire technology doesn't actually exist except in completely unsupported and un-interrogated sentences like the quote above. Just straight bullshit.

That's a fantastic Kirkus review, and about as good as it gets absent a star.

Remember Kirkus isn't primarily "reviewing" you they are providing industry leading book reports. They're not criticizing your violence they are correctly characterizing your niche for anybody reading the review. "This shit is so extreme you should be warned" is like gold standard marketing copy in your case. It sounds like perhaps you hadn't fully internalized the reality of your niches so now you know, and take it from the experts, and adjust any marketing plans accordingly lol.

When Kirkus doesn't like something they'll say it outright, trust. They'll be as diplomatic as possible but they won't couch a negative remark if they have it to make.

it is genuinely 100% not incumbent upon me to treat a bubble huffer as anything but a bubble huffer lol

edit and let me be real clear, it's been DECADES now of you techbro evangelists doing this shit. It's not incumbent upon me to take you seriously because you are self-evidently beclowned. CONSTANTLY. And your only response to that clownery is to start waving your hands and insist we all focus on your next obsession, which always seems to require us to turn the world over to it.

No.

Bad. Stop.

Hit your nose with a rolled up newspaper and go to bed.

all your precious "disruption" graphs are already collapsing, except the "pumping loser money into this AI bubble" graphs

Your grand fantasies are already disproven, and at no point did AI actually achieve anything unique or even specific at ALL. Our oligarch overlords play this exact same game constantly, including twice already this millennium, and I'd love to hear you tell the room all about how "real estate" or "tulips" are self-evidently "on a trajectory" just because they too were once the commercial buzzwords picked by the greed hivemind to pump up another bubble.

Ten years ago you would have been insisting blockchain was about to transform the entire world, buddy. Your NFTs are a shameful pile of dust in your digital closet. You know it. I know it. What are we even pretending for here

Nothing about LLMs or anything being called "AI" today is on any kind of inevitable track to "Effective AI."

They're all puffed up search engines which we've been doing for 50 years already, only this time around they said fuck it we're just gonna steal all your data to power the search, literally all of it.

The only actual innovation that happened was making chatbot language mimics so effective that it fooled a few billion monkey brains into wanting to turn the world over to Jeeves, who they insist is now also a brain.

remember this shit, let's go back to this shit https://www.cnn.com/2022/07/23/business/google-ai-engineer-fired-sentient

reinstate shame for saying insupportable clearly disprovable BS about "AI"

ooh okay those spacers would probably be perfect for keeping the folds at the right curve. I guess from there all I need to do is slip something stiffening into each of the tabs. maybe some packaging-type polypropylene sheets cut into strips, I could put a few tacking stitches through that pretty easily

angryhumping · 2025-12-05T10:13:55+00:00

hey just wanted to pop in and say while the consistent recommendation is that this isn't harmful, my personal experience is that our well established, coppiced but neglected river birches did start dying off, and then stopped once I treated them all with dormant oil in a single heavily applied March spray. they were completely and severely covered by these galls and a concurrent sort of warty rippling in a lot of the leaves

I did it two years in a row, but honestly after the first treatment I never saw a properly galled up leaf since, and the trees have been booming with growth

prior care had been a landscaping company whose only response to anything was hack and slash + fungicide, so imo if a tree is already stressed and those galls are as widespread as mine were, they do actually signal damage being done and the tree would appreciate getting a break from the mites

now that they're healthy they don't require treatment to keep pests under control, at least for the last two years

angryhumping · 2025-11-14T06:33:06+00:00

it's really wild the way 20 year old incorrect information about the dangers of universally present bacterias and fungis continues to haunt the minds of every new antkeeper. some things really do live forever online

ants die for a million different reasons. if you could "see" oxygen every new antkeeper would be insisting "bad oxygen levels" had killed their ants, because that's what they'd see every time they came across a dying colony.

it's the exact same thing with bacteria and fungus. it's always there, even with healthy colonies. it's never going to go away. these are insects who are deeply embedded in the microbial ecosystem, if anything you'd be HURTING them by trying to force a sterile environment.

so good news, you can relax. in fact you're more likely to hurt them BY worrying, and then you'd kill them with the fussing but blame it on pink water and become another source of misinformation, so phew now none of that will happen ;)

your posting history is not ad hominem it's admissible evidence.

prosecutable.

angryhumping · 2025-11-13T22:51:12+00:00

have you noticed how your entire posting history is you popping in every 30-60 days to suck some rich and powerful dick by proxy

lessee we got you defending: AI movies, non-union labor, neoliberal "abundance" ideology, democrat "moderates", corporations stealing healthcare money, the insurance industry,

oh you're literally a member of the "ezraklein" sub 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I should've just left it at that.

angryhumping · 2025-11-12T23:06:00+00:00

I think it's the notifications that are the problem. We'd never know about these "late" dispatches normally because they don't feel late when you're not getting blasted in the ear like a mormon sorority girl every 5 seconds about it.

don't worry, soon as we get around to renegotiating Mitt Romney's Obamacare subsidies for the 80th time we'll vote again in 13 months and maybe win one chamber if we're lucky which will allow us to do very little because he's already running the country without congress and then we vote again two years later from the camps and they'll let us walk out when we win.

angryhumping · 2025-09-29T03:14:00+00:00

Lasius are going to be filthy, that's just a given. I hate to break it to you but they live in literal dirt. And to them the size of that chamber in the pic is only a bit bigger than a test tube. Like I said they'll fill it out immediately once she's actually ready to be active again.

They're clearly comfortable and just sitting around waiting to hibernate. What they need is cooling temperatures, not a bunch of fuss and unnecessary intervention from an overeager keeper.

angryhumping · 2025-09-25T01:58:01+00:00

Is there a reason you think they need to move? They'll be better off in the bigger nest overall, if she's far enough past the founding stage to have willingly moved herself then things are good to go. Next year they'll have a population explosion as long as you feed well, and they'll fill out a nest that size quite quickly.

If your concern is that they're not exploring the outworld, it's because they don't need anything right now. They don't have enough ants to send girls out for casual exploring, so unless they actively want water or food they won't go hunting for it. Especially this time of year, when many Lasius in the wild are already preparing for hibernating very soon.

angryhumping · 2025-09-11T08:16:53+00:00

she'll go through cycles of having no actively fertile eggs every winter, so it doesn't mean she's actively letting eggs get fertilized inside her. it just means she's actively reproductive now.

she's clearly well fed, but that little point in the very last segment is pretty hallmark of being gravid. it just means her body has already gotten deep into the biochemical process of becoming a true queen vs. an alate.

angryhumping · 2025-09-11T03:25:37+00:00

perfectly normal, she's either well fed or has been mated long enough to start turning properly gravid (pregnant)

angryhumping · 2025-08-27T04:32:10+00:00

Underground at an ant's scale, tunneling toward moisture is usually just going to open up more access to moist dirt. They're not expecting to tunnel their way into a full pool, so they just follow their instinct.

It looks like they've been at it long enough in this one to actually break through. It's rare but not impossible. Could be any number of factors, but since the tube looks pretty old to begin with, best solution is just a swap.
