It seems reasonable to apply Bayes theorem. If the failure rate underwater after 2 years is less than normal..

I think you're underestimating the power of algorithmic manipulation. Take a simple ecommerce AB test as a starting point. Should our shopping cart look like A or B? Apply Bayes theorem and it doesn't take that long to gather evid

I am a lay person so please don't just trust what I'm saying, but don't think you need to be an expert in the field to deduce why it won't happen. First of all, there's no money in it. So the technical reasons, what

This article was on HN yesterday and I like the way that four different types of staff engineers are described: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24437715

I didn't down vote. Sorry I misread the article. Anyway I am still highly, highly skeptical Nvidia is going to move a lot of units so close to launch. The first batch is going to sell out in moments and from then on they will only be a

Is October 8th really a month after Nvidia is shipping? I'm not sure how many units Nvidia is really going to move before then...

You can't represent the interval from 0 to 1 inclusive without significant run time cost just because of the way floats work.

That assumes a particular locking system, what if you're using optimistic locking?

If there is a partition and you want to execute a write on both sides of the partition, both sides can wait, but eventually one side wins and the other side gets back a failure, so the db turned out not to be available on that side. At leas

Isn't the breaker supposed to protect the damage? If it doesn't, why not just make the breaker more sensitive?

Thinking that nuclear safety just comes down to digging a big hole and filling it with water is such a gross over simplification that I honestly can't believe you are arguing in good faith. Maybe a particular reactor design could use s

Or you could approach it another way, store the data using the full range of the system float type and normalize it to [0,1] through accessor methods. Can float types even support 0, 1 inclusive? You just can't represent natural number

Ok, there probably is actually lots of research going on, what little I know of it is several years out of date by now, at the time, advocates for the tech complained about the lack of research being done and I took them at their word.

Metals melt at lower temperatures than salt. Also think of how saltwater effects metal. That's just a bit of salt dissolved in water. Molten salt is like that, but way more concentrated, and hotter. Corrosive reactions go faster when y

I was actually going to reply with something similar, but I don't think this stacks up to the damage that can be unleashed in a nuclear accident. Building this took a few lifetimes. Nuclear accidents can have effects that are orders of

I'm not sure it's that simple.

That's cool, thanks for the link.

It's a people problem. People are fallible on the best days, assuming everyone did their very best from nuclear physicists to construction workers, mistakes are made. You take steps to reduce the risk. Research gets review. Engineering

There's no research being done on materials to safely contain molten radioactive salt, that research could be dangerous, pretty much only superpowers would have the resources to do the research.

You could have the firewall log connection attempts on port 22 and plug that into fail2ban.

I'm not sure if I'm missing some context but I'm assuming you are outside the return period. But anyway, I'd be really beyond surprised if these cards are actually available at these prices anytime soon. Also if find a 2

>Why would you keep a 1200$ RTX 2080 Ti or a 2500$ Titan when you can get at least the same perf for 50-75% of the price with the new products, and much better RTX perf Well for one, keeping a card you already bought is free, buying a ne

So then have another layer that shows insensitive things that point to files on the file system but leave the actual file system to simply map each unique identifier to a file.

I had a phone with a broken part, I went through two $45 parts before giving up and writing off the phone as a total loss. The part had a ribbon cable that you needed to thread through a hole in the case and I ripped the cable on both parts

I think 70s-90s appliances are a lot easier to repair than phones, you usually can source the parts from a local electronics shop, and they don't require the dexterity of a surgeon to work on.
