Worked with AI to put together a weather warning program.
« on: April 12, 2026, 04:03:53 PM »
I was tired of not having data for my exact location and I found out that i was pretty easy to get it done. It tracks storms out to 100 miles and warns me of any dangerous storms within 30 miles and has some other features. It could be easily customized to any location. If anybody is interested I'd be happy to share it with them.

I was surprised how fast they could revise and update the coad. It really does make it easier for those of us who used to hack coad and weren't the artists of that some are writing it.

Anyways I thought it was interesting and thought maybe some would find it so especially since that AI thread took off so much. I was think to post it there but didn't want to hyjack the thread.

Our female dog tells us when a storm is coming. She starts trembling.
Here we put salt on Margaritas, not sidewalks.

My male Pit does this as well.
There was a big party every weekend, just so happens there was also a race to run in

My oldest daughter lives in North Idaho and comes to visit here in Texas a couple of times a year. She thought she loved thunderstorms until she experienced a couple of ours.

I grew up in Dallas mostly and the weather was not as extreme as here in the Texoma area. Across the border a ways deeper into Oklahoma is not for the weather timid. I like a bit of wild weather but that's too much for me.

This year has been surprisingly good so far. I live in Texoma too.

Pretty close. We're on the other side of the lake. My wife works at Choctaw.

We've been to Main Street BBQ in Durant a couple of times. Very good.

Heck of a thunderstorm here right now. We just home from being out in it in the car. Lakes on the roads, visibility nil. Awful.

Ya, it got a little exciting yesterday. The weather guessers said we were supposed to get tennis ball size hail. Thank God they were wrong.

Don’t just observe weather - report weather!

I’ve been reporting my rainfall/hail/snow/sleet for a couple of years. Helps out with drought monitoring, flood watch, provides real precipitation data as compared to “radar indicated”, and hail damage assessment.

Coding has gotten quite good over the last year.
AI is fantastic for creating textures.  Not great at sound effects.
Generative AI is great at creating organic models.
Hard surface modeling has been lagging.  Ironic that seems to be a harder problem than organic shapes.

It's getting better.

I'd prefer the AI chat embedded in the Blender IDE instead of a separate window. I bet future version of Blender it is.
AI will soon move from plugin to core component, IMHO.
Toxic, psychotic, self-aggrandizing drama queens simply aren't worth me spending my time on.
