You can't imagine how many hours I spent on different forums, trying to get the root cause of this issue. I freshly installed Linux at least 3 times. In the end, a 15 minute conversation solved my problem. These are some of the applications where I really see the benefit of tools like Gemini.

It seems to be a faulty sensor sending constant signals of overheating, which led to my CPUs being locked to 400 MHz. Installing and running github.com/erpalma/thro... solved the problem and I can finally use my private laptop again.

I described my problem and then asked for step by step instructions for which diagnostic tools to run. I either copied the terminal outputs into the chat or took screenshots (or photos from certain BIOS settings). It pretty quickly figured out that something is throttling by CPU cores.

Oh my god, I finally was able to fix it. After effectively not using my private laptop for the past 9 months (I have a corp laptop and a private desktop PC that runs Linux), I sat down and ask Gemini for help. I know, I know...

Thread for details.

This has easily been one of the most interesting external meetings in a while.

i wrote about atproto and why it matters

Wow, ATProto (the tech that powers Bluesky) is pretty neat!

If, like me, you have not read about it but were curious, this is a great read explaining how it works:

Looking forward to a full day of exciting talks at the GRIT workshop in Oxford.

I just learned that the recording of my invited plenary keynote talk at #EMS25 last week in Ljubljana, Slovenia is publicly available.

Here is the link in case anyone wants to watch it: vimeo.com/1118021056?f...

After about one year in review, the dataset paper for the Caravan-GRDC extension was finally published.

See: essd.copernicus.org/articles/17/...

I am so happy that GRDC was open for this effort and made some of their data freely available through Caravan.

I got tired of mashing together tools to write long threads with 𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑚𝑎𝑡𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 and ℳα†ℏ—so I wrote La𝑇𝑤𝑒𝑒𝑡!

It converts Markdown and LaTeX to Unicode that can be used in “tweets”, and automatically splits long threads. Try it out!

A packed room full of young and motivated scientists, today at my presentation at the @ellis.eu #SummerSchool2025. It was a real pleasure being there.

Now I'm on my way back to Vienna but not without the by-now normal delay of 1h+ with the @bahn.de...

Never managed to attend a summer school during my master or PhD program. But it is never too late =)

Arrived in Jena to attend "ELLIS Summer School: AI for Earth and Climate Sciences" and to give a talk later this week.

Looking forward to many exciting conversations with young scientists

@simonwillison.net have you seen that?

Happy to share that if you are interested in large sample hydrology datasets and specifically water quality data you can now check our now officially published dataset:

@leaflet.pub is such an innovative platform

If you select some text (1), a tooltip appears that allows you to share the selection as a quote on Bluesky (2)

If you click the Quotes icon (3), a panel showing all quotes appears (4)

It's a terrific integration between blogging and microblogging

Oh, I didn't know. That is indeed pretty neat.

Das kann doch kein zufall sein @geschichte.fm ?!

We are in the year 2025 and people write a paper showing that a model trained with ‼️global, coarse resolution forcings‼️ performs worse in ‼️ungauged‼️ basins, than a regional model trained with ‼️local, high resolution forcings‼️ in ‼️gauged‼️ basins.

This is used to say "training on more basins is bad"🤯

You know this feeling, when you get to review a paper for the n-th amount of time (always resubmissions to different journals after rejections), with the authors not adapting any of the comments and keeping all the obvious non-sense?

Nobody ever should see my first draft of review comments.....

Interesting take: www.dlib.org/dlib/october...

My son came home late and doesn't even know we have the switch 2 already 🙄 guess that makes one evening of free training for me 😅

I wish my universities would have offered such classes. Sounds amazing
