The Weatherman Is Not a Moron - NYTimes.com

A good piece in the NYTimes yesterday by Nate Silver that touches on many things we find of interest: chaos theory, prediction, non-linear behaviors, simulation modeling, etc.

Yes, "The Signal and the Noise" seems to be an interesting book. It is interesting to read what he says about weather forecasting, he says there is a "healthy balance between computer modeling and human judgment in weather forecasting that is lacking in many other disciplines."
