@darius Actually, Dark Sky wasn't very good at predicting the weather and it had a really weird method for trying to do so. It literally did everything via image analysis and completely ignored everything we know about weather science. slate.com/technology/2022/12/d

@thebishopgame this article is about how it was inaccurate for forecasts beyond an hour - which matches my experience. What I also experienced was it was shockingly accurate for very short term forecasts. I could spend an extra 10 minutes at coffee shop to avoid being rained on thanks to Dark Sky

@darius Heh, that was not my experience with it at all - every time I tried to make decisions based on it, I would get metaphorically and sometimes literally soaked. Cool that you got some good out of it, though.
