That kind of rate smells like a hardware bug. Insufficient decoupling caps maybe?

- repiret 3y agoThat seems plausible. I wasn’t deeply involved in the investigation, but the silicon vendor supports the cosmic ray hypothesis.
- bcrl 3y agoThe rate of cosmic rays impacting hardware should be extremely low, unless there's some kind of environmental factor (like being at a very high altitude). Or maybe there was a special train going by as in: https://www.jakepoz.com/debugging-behind-the-iron-curtain/ https://www.jakepoz.com/debugging-behind-the-iron-curtain/
