I'm excited to share our paper "Flow Matching for Posterior Inference with Simulator Feedback" https://t.co/VhQA8LvQoB 🤩 The key idea is to incorporate physics-constraints with guiding so that the posterior isn't biased. Highly accurate solutions, better than pure learning!

This work reveals an unprecedented weakening of the land carbon sink in 2023 using low-latency atmospheric inversion, dynamic vegetation models, and AI-pow
🚨 Collapse of the land carbon sink in 2023 🚨 As the CO2 growth rate reached a record high at Mauna Loa, we set up a low-latency analysis of the carbon budget and found that plants and soils absorbed almost no CO2 last year @gcarbonproject @gpbalsamo

We just dropped something big @EarthmoverHQ - a new transactional storage engine for @zarr_dev.
🚀 We are thrilled to announce the release of the Icechunk storage engine, a new open-source library and specification for the storage of multidimensional array (a.k.a. tensor) data in cloud object storage. Read our blog post about Icechunk here:
