It's nice to get some facts instead of just "green" FUD.
You can expect 250 or so cosmic ray events per second in a 42 litre sodium iodide crystal pack at 100m above sea level.

Source: 10 years airbourne geophysics, radiometric calibrations.

Addendum:

In-flight upset 154 km west of Learmonth, WA 7 October 2008 VH-QPA Airbus A330-303 [1] was a probable (but uncertain) example of cosmic ray events causing multiple spikes in one of three air data inertial reference units (ADIRUs) that also went on to cause a failure mode of the "best of three" reporting system leading to a pitch down in which [2]

> 110 of the 303 passengers and nine of the 12 crew members were injured; 12 of the occupants were seriously injured and another 39 received hospital medical treatment.

HOWEVER .. despite 250 events per second in a 42 litre volume, it took 128 million hours of unit operation to see a failure mode.

It's a lot of billiard balls going through a lot of space and a high bar for "something bad" ( just the right bit flip ) to happen.

Actually, it would've been pretty reliable if it ran on an IBM mainframe. That's their entire selling point.

There are two fundamental philosophies in fault tolerant systems. One is designing fault-tolerant hardware and running non-fault-tolerant software on it. This is what mainframes do. Practically any component of a mainframe can be hotswapped without shutting down the OS.

The other is designing fault-tolerant software and running it on non-fault-tolerant ("commodity") hardware. The latter is so popular that it's pretty much the default now, but it's not the only way of doing things.

I see this a lot with people are experts in real time operating systems environments, particularly in aviation/space stuff (maybe because that’s where I worked for a while).

They have excellent intuition around making things redundant to single pieces of hardware failing but don’t really grok making stuff resilient to wider failures.

Anything involving transaction logs, rollbacks, and plain old backups take a backseat to live hardware-redundant environments. “It’s OK though because we follow the NASA software development process which has a rigorous set of validation steps that prevent bugs.”
It feels like AR hasn't really gotten much more advanced in the past decade. This looks like a HoloLens demo from 7 years ago. Feels like the whole space has stagnated. I know Apple plans to release something soon, but will it really be a big leap? I'm not so sure. Obviously, the M chips will help it, but it still has some fundamental flaws as an idea. Though I find it more exciting than VR.

The technical architecture of the company (to self-sustain in monitoring or addressing this) would have the same shape as PurpleAir.

There is a gas war coming with states like California, Washington, and New York actively seeking to legislate natural gas out of the energy mix, along with the Feds, and then there about 20 states with laws already on the books declaring that federal gas ban legislation will not be observed.

The rush to ban gas and gas appliances without an energy replacement seems poorly considered.

Just FYI I am a certified electrical engineer and I do risk assessment as well, all the time. Certain things are "taking a risk" as in "there is sharp knife in the kitchen", others are just plain stupid like "one of the door knobs in this house is a knife".

So the results of my risk assessment might just look a little different, because I am more familiar with the matter and the potential consequences than you might be.

Best of luck to you.

FWIW where the original comment said

> It's not something you can do with kids around

I think the author of that comment meant that if you have little kids, you need to keep an eye on them, and playing with a headset that blocks your peripheral vision is not going to be something a parent can do in that situation.

That comment didn't mean to say that kids would not play VR. It was suggesting that parents wouldn't.

The LUNC price was testing the support level of $0.00016041 and $0.00014382 quite a few times. It reversed from the support level of $0.00014382 and now trading inside the symmetrical triangle. As soon as it breaks out of the symmetrical triangle, we can expect a huge rise or fall in the coming weeks.

Meanwhile, our long-term LUNC price prediction for 2023 is bullish since it cannot break the present support level soon. We can expect LUNC to reach $0.00024944 in 2023.
Looks like these still require a cable though? That's a bigger hindrance than size.

It's easy to have a low-effort cynical take about Chick-Fil-A's use of Kubernetes in its restaurants, but the actual post outlining why they chose to provision each restaurant with a 3-node Kubernetes cluster [1] makes a fairly compelling argument. Simply put, they needed to ensure that their point-of-sale terminals had bulletproof reliability, and they wanted to do it in a way that leveraged commodity hardware. The solution they came up with, Kubernetes clusters running on consumer-grade Intel NUCs is a fairly elegant solution to that problem. It reminds me of how Google chose to run on "commodity" Intel servers, rather than "enterprise-grade" hardware from IBM or Sun, realizing that, at scale, failure is guaranteed, no matter how overdesigned your hardware is, and it's more important to design for redundancy, easy provisioning and replacement than it is to design for absolute uptime. Chick-Fil-A has come to a similar realization for their point of sale systems.

In some way this seems like a message from the future of the games industry (with Netflix, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, etc pushing their game subscription services but a few years behind TV streaming)…

So far I was surprised by how much Amazon and Google have blundered in this space (despite spending 100s of millions $). Netflix seem to be going in a better direction (time will tell) and Apple are focusing on the family friendly/casual niche (and I think doing ok there). MS we’re early movers in this space (with GamePass) and seem to be doing well.
>merica has alot of dumb people are are getting systematically dumber

Is there evidence of this? Anecdotally at least even dumb people are a lot more knowledgeable than they were two generations ago.
Is this kind of plastic phone holder always the first step for something breaks into the market? VR had that everywhere after the Oculus Rift dev came out and things were hyped up; I picked some up at the airport because there were huge stacks of them next to the cash register. It was very fiddly to get your phone in without pressing all buttons and messing it up so you had to take it out because you cannot configure it while in the holder.

Which brings me to the biggest issue; input. Speech is often awful as input, especially when in public or noisy environments (no, airpods pro don't filter out noise nearly well enough). It's ok for casual things like checking the weather or replying 'yeah thanks' to an email, but for actual work, speech sucks. Now most people won't be doing that anyway, so who cares? I care and I know many other people I know do; even as the input for phones, so that's a large enough group to warrant experimentation. I experimented with a one hand chording keyboard and it works well; it doesn't take a lot of time to learn, it is quite fast, especially mixed with speech input (create long text with speech and fix it with the chording keyboard for instance) and it seems perfect for AR; if only the the little joystick and a few buttons makes a massive difference over the clunky speech/pointing interfaces. I just wish there were more options; the one that's there (Twiddler) is too expensive.

I'm now trying to work with a split keyboard as input, but the problem really is that those have no pointer. Otherwise it's really quite great (if you don't care how it looks of course, but it's early days), because if you touch type, it's not slower than when you are sat down, almost immediately after trying it (they are qwerty).

While there are many companies experimenting with input for AR/VR, and I have tried all publicly available demos/releases of such input, it's all clunky and slow. Touchscreen and speech are faster, but nothing beats a keyboard and a mouse; I think a lot more research could be spent on that, but as most people will be using devices (including computers with keyboards and mice) for consumption only, there is no financial incentive?

I'd say it would be almost as bad.

In SQL you're describing the result that you want -- you aren't (and shouldn't be) saying how to achieve that result. The engine goes off and (hopefully) finds the optimal way to create the result you are describing. When you break queries down too far, the engine has more trouble finding the optimal path.

SQL Server can "see through" views and CTEs optimize them combined with a query but depending on the calculations it might have to generate and process intermediate data that it doesn't need. In my case above, the engine was reprocessing the same data set over and over, generating duplicate rows, and combining everything removing the duplicates.

My query was significantly simpler but also, in a way, harder to follow. It wasn't as clear what the intent was. Where they had nice named CTE subqueries, I had to use comments.

That’s an highway, you cannot randomly stop there. She didn’t crash into ducks.
In Germany you would be covered because line change and break, without a reason, is a deliberate dangerous action. This means that the one doing it is responsible of the following crash.

For the multiple cars crash, if not clear cut, without video recording, all the insurances pool themselves together and consider the drivers as not responsible. Nobody cannot tell if you stopped, got hit in the back and then the front or the opposite.
That’s fair but then again that’s from being allied to competent nations. Left on its own the Saudi dynasty would not exist as it pays its way out of rebellion with subsidies and lacks the martial intellect to ensure a monopoly on violence against rebel groups (even with western weapons of war.)
Blame doesn’t have to be zero sum.

This seems to be 100% the fault of Tesla for selling unsafe equipment. Some amount of blame for the Tesla driver. 0% blame for the car that got cut off and hit the Tesla. And 100% blame for every car behind that crashed into the car in front of them.

He also talks about how it had no contrail and accelerated without ejecting mass. One of the only things we know of that could do that is a solar sail.
Ok, I can definitely agree with that. They could do a lot more with the window manager. I think there are a couple other pain points I've had along those lines (things that should be in the base system, but aren't). Stuff like, how do I reverse the scroll direction _only_ when I have a mouse plugged in? The answer "oh go install this plugin and give it full access to your mouse and keyboard" is pretty underwhelming.

But I do stand by the statement that overall, the experience is a lot better on MacOS
Any serious fusion proposal will breed tritium. Power to weight is going to be abysmal though.

Also slow acceleration is not the millenia long problem you're making it out to be, 0.01g will get you to 0.1c in under a century. Ion drives are largely limited by the weight of the power source even with current tech.

Any fusion reactor capable of working without prohibitively large radiatiors will have enough control over the plasma to just eject it for thrust directly. ISP will be your limit, not thrust.

Q-drive is a fairly compelling proposal compare to other options. Use some kind of magnetic solar sail to soar along the heliopause until you can make the trip in decades.
then you'd be glad to hear that the US has not done "extreme money printing" then.
You’re right in that knowing pronouns is sufficient to determine grammatical gender of words to be used with relation to a character in Russian. Combining a particular gender of pronoun with an unmatching form of verbs/nouns/etc is definitely not a part of the language, even outside some formal norms.

One possibly unobvious thing is, though - there are only three grammatical genders in Russian, so all words which do have gendered forms can have at max 3 of them (male/female/neuter). This means that if you do allow more than 3 kinds of pronouns, you’ll probably have to define the pronouns->grammatical gender mapping somehow. Well, I guess plural variant also counts, so maybe 4.
Holy shit, GTFO of here with that shit. You first!
Huh. So gumroad verification is a simple call to the verify endpoint and I'm guessing if it returns "success": true that's good enough to enable usage of the product?

I guess it would be an interesting experiment to create a proxy that captures any values going out to gumroad's license verification api endpoint and change all server responses to be true instead of false. Ditto for altering the number of uses of a product in case there is a limit there too.

For anyone interested in the documentation: https://app.gumroad.com/api#licenses

Also for anyone who is new to this topic, intercepting and altering server responses can yield fascinating results in today's client side heavy code web apps.

I wonder if they'll take the Kroger route.

As I remember it, which may be a little fuzzy, Kroger warehousing and distribution was unionized. They got around negotiating with them by outsourcing to a third party, non union warehousing company, called Zenith, and promptly sold off their own distribution centers to...Zenith. It read a lot like they just made a sweetheart deal to get rid of the union.

This is definitely what I’ve come to believe. We are interpreting information as the material universe and have mapped out how our brains do so very adequately which allows us to predict the flow of information (physics etc.) but that’s just how are brains interpret these things, not objective reality.

Then again I also have come to believe whatever one’s obsession is they will see as the true nature of reality. Theologians believe it’s all god, Mathematicians believe it’s all math (not all of them though,) linguists believe it’s all language, psychologists believe it’s all just the mind and I as a computer/information scientist believe (or know even) that’s it’s all just information.

All of these things are true; none of them the whole truth of reality
