Google DeepMind claims that its GenCast=
system outperforms traditional computing methods of weather forecasting ou=
t to at least a week and often beyond. GenCast merges some computational ap= proaches used by atmospheric scientists with a diffusion model, resulting i=
n a system that maintains high resolution while cutting the computational c= osts significantly. It has relatively low computational requirements, so in= dividual academic research teams will likely be able to experiment with it.

Australian firm Advanced Navigation and=
European missile manufacturer MBDA are developing a new navigation system = for planes to replace GPS in situations where the system fails, such as whe=
n signals are intentionally jammed by enemy forces. Their system uses a dow= nward-facing neuromorphic camera to read the terrain's 'fingerprint'. This = data is cross-referenced against an existing database of fingerprints, allo= wing the aircraft to ascertain its exact geographical location. The system =
is reportedly simple enough that it doesn't use any AI. The companies have = planned a real-world demonstration of its system later this year in Austral=
ia followed by a commercial rollout of the technology.

AWS' S3 Tables brings native support fo=
r Apache Iceberg to S3. This post takes a look at the new offering, which i=
s an exciting development for the data analytics ecosystem. S3 has now laun= ched three major features in 12 months, suggesting that something material = has shifted in S3's development culture. The fact that AWS chose to call th=
e new feature 'S3 Tables' and not 'S3 Iceberg' could mean that the company =
is open to supporting other table formats in the future.

This post introduces The Journey to Syn= ergy Collaboration Model, a framework for measuring professional relationsh= ips and where one stands in those relationships. The framework outlines sev=
en states, moving from a competitive, zero-sum mindset to one of shared ide= ntity. The post also discusses practical ways to move relationships forward=
. Working in isolation creates significant limitations - we are at our best=
when we are collaborating well with others.

Sam Altman says that AI technology will=
