  Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  

• WRF

  8 1,140 6.6 Fortran

  The official repository for the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model

  

Project mention: Why hasn't there been more of an effort to create an open source network of weather stations? | /r/opensource | 2023-05-26

WRF-ARW Modeling System is in the public domain and there is a fork called WRFg that can utilize GPU acceleration. The price of used Nvidia tesla GPUs could allow an enthusiast group to band together and thrive however that doesn't solve the sheer complexity of using the model and obtaining enough accurate data points to even run the model.

• ha-smartthinq-sensors

  6 972 9.1 Python

  HomeAssistant custom integration for SmartThinQ LG devices configurable with Lovelace User Interface.

Project mention: LG washing machine sending 3.7GB of data a day | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-13

Which is likely what is happening here. The LG "ThinQ" washing machines do allow for remote starts: https://github.com/ollo69/ha-smartthinq-sensors/issues/234

> After 10 minutes (IIRC) in remote start mode without starting the machine goes to sleep. You must use the smartthinq_sensors.wake_up command to wake it up, then the remote_start command to start it.

• tuya-local

  5 954 9.9 Python

  Local support for Tuya devices in Home Assistant

Project mention: Home Assistant blocked from integrating with Garage Door opener API | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-11-08

> https://github.com/make-all/tuya-local

Just a small warning: make sure to check whether your device needs to be added to the Tuya cloud to get a local API key. I was only able to get "my" lamp working locally after registering it via the app and creating a developer account.

Another option can be flashing it with Tasmota: https://tasmota.github.io/docs/Tuya-Convert/

• Oceananigans.jl

  4 878 9.5 Julia

  🌊 Julia software for fast, friendly, flexible, ocean-flavored fluid dynamics on CPUs and GPUs

  

Project mention: Julia 1.10 Released | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-12-27

I think it’s also the design philosophy. JuMP and ForwardDiff are great success stories and are packages very light on dependencies. I like those.

The DiffEq library seems to pull you towards the SciML ecosystem and that might not be agreeable to everyone.

For instance a known Julia project that simulates diff equations seems to have implemented their own solver

• cloud-carbon-footprint

  8 845 9.0 TypeScript

  Cloud Carbon Footprint is a tool to estimate energy use (kilowatt-hours) and carbon emissions (metric tons CO2e) from public cloud usage

  a tool to get Facebook data, and some Facebook bots, and extra tools found on Facebook Toolkit ++.

• better_thermostat

  3 695 8.7 Python

  This custom component for Home Assistant will add crucial features to your climate-controlling TRV (Thermostatic Radiator Valves) to save you the work of creating automations to make it smart. It combines a room-temperature sensor, window/door sensors, weather forecasts, or an ambient temperature probe to decide when it should call for heat and automatically calibrate your TRVs to fix the imprecise measurements taken in the radiator's vicinity.

• climate-change-data

  2 533 0.6

  :earth_africa: A curated list of APIs, open data and ML/AI projects on climate change

Project mention: 5 Ways to Celebrate Earth Day as a Developer 🌎🌏🌍 | dev.to | 2024-04-22

A couple of sources for climate-related open data is OpenClimateData.net which is a curated list of sources for open emissions and climate agreements data that are made public by various NGOs and the UN. Another great source for open data is this GitHub repo by Dr. Kasia Kulma, as per her bio a data scientist focused on using data for good. The repo is extensive and not only does it offer open data, but many APIs and open source projects as well. Check out the repo’s README to see the long list of links.

Project mention: Help with running exoplanet simulations | /r/research | 2023-12-10

Hello!! I'm an 11th grade AP Research student and I need help running exoplanet simulations. All of the simulations lead me to GitHub repositories (which I don't know how to use) and the installation guides are confusing. I'm currently looking at VPLanet (link to GitHub repository | link to installation guide), as well as vplot, PandExo, and Exo-Transmit. If there are any other options for running models of simulations, please let me know! My research is studying hycean exoplanets and relating them to future exoplanet characterization space missions, and I want to simulate a planet's conditions as well as instrumentation.

• hector

  1 104 5.6 C++

  The Hector Simple Climate Model

  

Project mention: Most Earth system models are missing element of future climate puzzle | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-19

As an engineer but not a climate scientist, it is really difficult to make sense of these models. They come in at least three levels of complexity, where simpler ones are used to verify the output of the more complex ones.

If you want to try, Hector is a great one to start with: https://github.com/JGCRI/hector

I wrote a little blog post with an overview of some of the open source models: https://possibleplanets.com/2022/05/06/how-to-forecast-the-c...
