You can watch Iceland doing its volcano thing live. Love this! ruv.is/frett/2021/03/… Image
The helicopter on the lower edge of the screen just took off and flew away, but the people are still there at the bottom end of the lava flow. Image
An error that spellcheck won't catch. Image
It's getting pretty groovy as night falls. You can watch the lava flow down its rivers. I'd love to see a fast-forward version of this. Image
New lava river pouring down the right flank. Image
Some daytime photos from Saturday:
Drone video footage (kind of surprised it survived the flight). facebook.com/1389225683/pos…
Well worth checking into the live stream again. The volcano seems is releasing a huge stream of lava at this point. #Fagradalsfjall Image
Some spectacular video of the crater and some lava flows. Looks like one person carried their bike up the slope to get close.
Here's the first drone video link from the original videographer:

Intel CEO @PGelsinger just announced Intel is going to become an open foundry for US and European customers. Intel Foundry Services business unit wins support from Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Cisco, others. Thread/
$20B investment in a new chipmaking fab in Arizona, and more Intel capacity will come later, Gelsinger said. 2/
More Intel capacity in US dovetails with current political push to bring tech supply chain back to US. (TSMC in Taiwan currently leads chip manufacturing.) Intel indicates US government is interested as a customer. 3/

I rented a Canon R5 to see if I like it. So many thoughts after an hour fooling with it, starting with:
1. Boy do I hate customizing controls and my personal menus to get it working how I like
2. Electronic viewfinder is nice sometimes but plagued by discontinuity at telephoto Image
That above shot taken with Canon's wacky new 800mm f11 lens. F11 doesn't let much light through, but the price, the weight, the size, the ability to shoot handheld easily... I'm impressed. 1/125 sec, ISO 100
I was disappointed by the 6m close-focus distance of the 800mm f11 lens, though. Most birds are far away, of course, but I had to back away to shoot the close ones by the birdfeeder. Good thing 45 megapixels lets you crop. House finch in the rain, 1/320sec, ISO2500. Image

I'm tuning in to #HotChips2020 today, the 32nd year of the IEEE conference. My favorite graphic so far is AMD's 8-core Ryzen 4000 family of chips, the subject of a later presentation today. Thread/ Image
I watched the quantum computing presentations yesterday from IBM, Intel, Microsoft, and Google. Pretty interesting if you can handle the high gorpiness factor. The technology is very green, but is maturing. Here's that thread:
Right now we're starting with server chip news from Intel and IBM. Intel Ice Lake Xeon processor for servers using 2 chip sockets (Ice Lake-SP). Vs last-gen Cascade Lake, it's got 18% more instructions per clock tick performance boost. Image

I learned a lot digging into FIDO2 and U2F standards for hardware key authentication after today's big Microsoft embrace (cnet.com/news/microsoft… — log in without a password). But there are lots of caveats. Thread: 1/
Security key maker @yubico doesn't support Bluetooth for reasons of security (30m range means danger of connecting to wrong device) and engineering (pairing sucks, battery required). Some discussion here: yubico.com/2016/06/yubike… 2/
2. NFC limitations on iPhones make one-time passwords awkward (needs an app) and make FIDO impossible. (yubico.com/2017/10/iphone…) Yubico working on using the Lightning port for older FIDO U2F standard. Again, will need an app to work. yubico.com/2018/08/yubico… 3/
