DRAM Errors and Cosmic Rays: Space Invaders or Science Fiction?
It is widely accepted that cosmic rays are a plausible cause of DRAM errors in high-performance computing (HPC) systems, and various studies suggest that they could explain some aspects of the observed DRAM error behavior. However, this phenomenon is insufficiently studied in production environments. We analyze the correlations between cosmic rays and DRAM errors on two HPC clusters: a production supercomputer with server-class DDR3-1600 and a prototype with LPDDR3-1600 and no hardware error co…

Node.js devs, so picture this: you run `npm install` and you get a bunch of packages with audit errors.
The only thing I want to know at that point is what’s the root package that these dependencies belong to? (Running npm audit fix is a last resort as I don’t like it fiddling around with the dependencies of nested packages.)
It’s also not a straightforward thing to do, but it’s nothing jq and a bit of piping can’t fix:
```bash
npm audit --json | jq -r '.vulnerabil…

STM32MP2 PCIe update: I'm calling things brought up and working at this point.
Working on the test board now. It's going reasonably fast since a lot of it is cribbed from other projects and I already had made a sch symbol for the MP257 (although I found a few errors in it sinc eI had never actually made a board design around it or done a full design review).

Oh, how glad I am that I told Claude (command-line version) about `rename -n`. Seeing it iterate over half a dozen different regex patterns that might do what I wanted it to do, but were not quite right … lucky it could spot its errors before running the real thing.

Having just watched #Jaws for the first time in ages, I was stunned by the famous opening sequence ... but not by its cinematography or acting or editing - but by the never-ending chain of in-your-face #continuity errors in lighting once the girl enters the water: one moment we have a low Sun and a red sky, then we have the Sun near the zenith (with a day for night effect) then low again and so on, for several cycles.
Now #Spielberg, is there supposed to be some hidden message here? Well, there isn't.
(Once it's day, fortunately, this problem is gone, and a great movie unfolds, still fresh after 50 years. And I know, you shouldn't mess with a masterpiece, but Lucas added characters to Star Wars IV, and Cameron corrected a wrong star pattern in Titanic, so may be Spielberg could just, for an anniversary special edition ... o.k., I shut up. ;-)

VAR does its job, but I think its very presence allows the referee to underwhelm on the initial decision. He’s got cover, so why extend? It’s not supposed to be used in that manner, but I can understand why they do.
The natural question is if they are “clear and obvious errors”, how does an overturn affect PGMOL’s evaluation of a referees performance? I think it doesn’t, because PFMOL is corrupt and has no desire to improve. Just gaslight, baby. Gaslight.
