The evidence so far
DISCOVERYWeather forecasting has spent fifty years as one of the largest users of supercomputing. AI models trained on the archive now produce comparable global forecasts in minutes, and the weights are published. The measurements they depend on are the part that has not become cheap.

In India, where almost no one is screened, four out of five recorded tumours are already 3 cm or larger when they are found.
