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: overreacted.io/open-social/

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! keenancrane.github.io/LaTweet/

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: doi.org/10.1038/s415...

@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...

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

@gauchm.bsky.social and @danklotz.bsky.social you are not alone

Trying to install Ruby and RVM on Linux for 15 minutes and wondering if there is really something more complicated than setting up Python.

Recommended read for the weekend: Sepp Hochreiter's book on AI! Lots of fun anecdotes and easily accessible basics on AI! www.beneventopublishing.com/ecowing/prod...

I just got made aware that a talk I gave recently at the @csdms.bsky.social meeting in Boulder is available online. Similar to my EGU medal lecture, the focus here was mostly on the conceptual similarity between LSTMs and classical rainfall runoff models: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShTA...

New Blog Up! Keeping up with machine learning developments can be overwhelming — especially in hydrology! Check out latest EGU HS blog post by researchers at @kit.edu for tips, tools, and resources to stay ahead of the curve: 🔗 blogs.egu.eu/divisions/hs... #Hydrology #MachineLearning #EGU #ML

Spotted mentions of NeuralHydrology in the wild github.com/neuralhydrol...

I have a fable for seeing other peoples desk/work setups. When I finish setting up everything in our new apartment I will post an update on my home setup.

Caravan News🐪🐫 I just published Version 1.6. The main update is that the source data for CAMELS-AUS was upgraded to CAMELS-AUS v2. This means more basins (561 vs 222) and more recent streamflow data (2022 vs 2014). All relevant links in thread 🧵 (please share/repost)

Kinda sad to see but mirrors my own experience here recently. Initially, I thought that academic twitter would move here but now it feels like some stayed with Twitter, some became active on LinkedIn, some are here and some stopped interacting on social media all together.

Found something from the past. Must be from my Bachelor thesis time so maybe around 2012/2013?!

Haven't done it myself a lot, but spend some time with my 7 year old and damn he was blown away. The possibilities that this opens for creative minds will be interesting to observe.

Without reading the paper but that is exactly what I say all the time about DL based flood forecasting systems. The key factor here is the global training dataset to cover as many extreme events as possible.

Watch me unpack almost 1,500 video game magazines sent by a donor at 1pm Pacific! I don't know what to expect, hopefully we'll find some exciting new additions to the library.

HEPEX, the Hydrological Ensemble Prediction EXperiment, is now on Bluesky! Find it at @hepexorg.bsky.social

Rabbit hole is probably the better analogy. If you dig deep enough, you find the truth.

Reiterating that Paper Skygest is a terrific custom feed! #EconSky #AcademicSky

Why do people publish a preprint but then only make the code available "upon acceptance of the manuscript". What is the reasoning behind it, especially if the manuscript is about model benchmarking and not some super novel method?

Arrived in Denver and was welcomed with a huge downpour+rainbow over the airport area, as seen from the bus towards Boulder

Are you interested in large sample hydrology datasets and specifically water quality data? Then consider checking our latest preprint: “Swiss data quality: augmenting CAMELS-CH with isotopes, water quality, agricultural and atmospheric chemistry data” doi.org/10.31223/X5R...

It feels like I haven't done anything else than preparing presentations and writing mails in the last weeks. I want to go back to coding...

Moving apartments tomorrow but the essentials are already there: Espresso machine ☕ and internet 💻

May the 4th be with you!

On the train back to Zürich after an amazing week in Vienna with @egu.eu and @hs.egu.eu. Great presentations by people from our group and others,so many inspirations and much interest in CrowdWater
