If you can don your anti-quackery bio hazard suit, the youtube channel Dutchsinse is entertaining for his forecast of earthquake locations. His guesses involve following trends along tectonic boundaries on a globe scale. One of the things I've heard him say that I've not heard elsewhere is the implied correlation between geothermal pumping operations near the latest epicenter and crust weakness. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oj6Vj4TOtx4

What I found interesting about his work is the hypothesis that earthquakes are predictable based on recent nearby earthquakes. This feels like something a machine learning algorithm would have little trouble building a model of, so I'd be interested to know what sort of results people have achieved if this has been attempted before.

Eek. The content is interesting, but the channel’s style and sound effects are just too much for me. Same problem I have with “Mad Money”.

I agree, too much VHS-iness.
