A warning for trespassing sheep: I've been prototyping.

If anyone wants to meet me IRL, there's two months of time before I'm transferred from Espoo to Noormarkku.

It's #volcano time again... seems to be a small #eruption, and kind of remote. There's #pollution issues, and Pele's hair over #Keflavík. And #they had to cancel the golf tournament in Grindavík. Wait, they were holding a *golf tournament in Grindavík* as the magma chamber was nearing full? 🤷‍♀️

The capabilities of eye trackers seems to have improved dramatically.

That brand-new top-end greenhouse is going to burn. #iceland #volcano #eruption #Grindavík

Ahhhh... fuck. :( (New #iceland #volcano #eruption near #Grindavík, and it's past the protective berm....)

Lol @huggingface . #CCP nationalists are trying to censor my dataset for removing #censorship from Chinese #AI models. Please tell me you don't actually humour such "reports" […] [Original post on fosstodon.org]

Are we sure that this isn't a dystopian sci-fi we're living through? #2025 #politics #musk

Well, Stage 1 is complete. :) I just released ShrimpMoss (虾苔), a dataset designed to abliterate Chinese #censorship and propaganda finetunes from models. https://huggingface.co/datasets/Nafnlaus/ShrimpMoss_Chinese_Censorship_Abliteration?row=78 Will try it out as soon as I get a chance to […]

Nobody likes good Russians. Russians hate them because they are traitors and non-Russians just in case they are not.

One more Icelandic #politics explainer graph, just for fun: #iceland politics, put in terms of #us analogues :) (The weather forecast is looking bad for Saturday, and it's possible voting may need to be postponed in certain regions) #election #elections #icelandpolitics #uspolitics

So, I decided to do a clustering analysis on Icelandic political parties ahead of the upcoming election on Saturday. I actually had to shrink the dots because Píratar and Samfylkingin were so tightly clustered ;) Also attaching recent polls for comparison […] [Original post on fosstodon.org]

Yeay, incoming vog :Þ #iceland #volcano #eruption #pollution #smog

Just finished my latest project. Reading the news about the political situation in the US often feels like looking through a portal into the Upside-Down; a twisted version of reality that feels unreal, yet is regardless very real. On my mind recently: the disturbing number of anti-#trans bills […]

With the success of the water cooling operation comes more good news; the rate of lava flow westwards has now decreased, with the primary flows now moving north and east. Knock on wood, but if current efforts are maintained we're probably in the clear from […] [Original post on fosstodon.org]

Video of one of the twelve hoses installed on the L3 berm in operation. The berm here is now 12-14 meters tall, and growing. The lava outside rose 2 to 2 1/2 meters last night, but that's slower than before. The crust on the lava is about 2-3 meters thick […] [Original post on fosstodon.org]

The lava cooling operation appears to have been a success. While the water will need to continue - 26 thousand litres per second, enough to fill an Olympic swimming pool every 1 1/2 minutes - work today is expected to increase the height of the L3 berm atop […] [Original post on fosstodon.org]

The situation at the L3 berm is described as "sensitive". They're prepping for the situation where lava overtops it, and have started burying the hot water pipe *inside* the protected area. Cavalry is hopefully coming to the rescue, though. Water pumping is […] [Original post on fosstodon.org]

Work on continues building up the L3 barrier as lava nears its top, by adding more material straight atop the crusted-over active flow. (photo: Stefán Jón Ingvarsson). If this thing keeps on going for years (shield-forming eruptions), the #BlueLagoon and […] [Original post on fosstodon.org]

Most concerns at the moment are with the L3 dike, as flow is too quick to the east to allow quick accumulation, but backs up further west. Water cooling is planned, but like yesterday is hindered by supply. A pipeline is being built, but it must be buried so […] [Original post on fosstodon.org]

The #eruption does not seem to be weakening quickly, if at all today. Thusfar, the reinforced heating water line that supplies the entire peninsula has held, but as the lava keeps expanding a lobe across it, the utility advises residents to be prepared to […] [Original post on fosstodon.org]

The #bluelagoon's emergency communication to guests seems to be... subpar. (Silica Hotel is at the Blue Lagoon) #iceland #volcano #eruption

Pretty much every serious photographer here tries to capture photos of the #volcano and the #northernlights together. Sometimes, they succeed quite well ;) Photos from Wioleta Gorecka, taken near Reykjanesvíti. #iceland #eruption

Efforts continue to try to save the towers of the Svartsengislína power line leading from the power plant to the NNW continued overnight. If any towers are lost it will significantly increase the length of time before service can be restored.

They're apparently aiming to reopen the #BlueLagoon a week from now. How? I have no bloody idea... I mean, first off, are they scheduling the end of the #eruption? I mean, one eruption lasted 54 days. Active lava flows block the route from the north. Are they […] [Original post on fosstodon.org]

Video from which my last screenshots were taken, BTW. #volcano continues to volcano. :Þ Thankfully the pollution hasn't hit the #Reykjavík area yet. #iceland #eruption

This "small" #eruption is proving to be much more of a pain than the last "big" eruption. :Þ The lava has nearly reached the height of the berms around the #BlueLagoon and the #Svartsengi thermal plant. Workers will be working all night to raise them. Photos […] [Original post on fosstodon.org]
