@az@scorpinc.social Why the everloving fuck did they use windows...or bluetooth for that matter

@ProjectPhysX@mast.hpc.social @niconiconi@mk.absturztau.be Buy up a lot of the stock, quickly test which ones have the fewest memory errors, keep those, sell the rest back into the market. Kinda like depleted uranium, where most of the rare good nuclei are picked out.

@kirk i detect a hint of irony in a battery needing a UPS 😁 (i know, i know...)

@JamesWidman@mastodon.social @gsuberland@chaos.social How do you version control a .docx?

@timmc@better.boston 2/2 At the end of the day, some of that $100+ fee the lab charges is profit, the rest cost. If you want to beat it, you either innovate to reduce the cost, compromise on *something* that costs money, or bet on them having a large margin.

@timmc@better.boston 2/2 Plus, deriving an acutal concentration from the XRF return, instead of just a yes/no would require careful technique. I guess you could take a sample, put it in a plastic cup in some reproducible geometry, mix+measure 3 times, add 1 shot of a known concentration of lead nitrate, mix+measure 3 more times, add a second shot, mix+measure 3 times, fit a line on the lead peak heights vs. lead shot, then use that to estimate how much was in there originally. (standard addition method)

@timmc@better.boston I would not consider using an XRF gun on any sample that is not a literal chunk of metal with a shiny clean surface, unless it was letting me see the raw spectrum. Even then...XRF does not have particularly great penetration depth, you are mostly testing whatever is on the line-of-sight surface. So if your sample is not homogenous it is less reliable. 1/2

@timmc@better.boston Handheld XRF analyzers have a rather mixed reputation regarding the data they produce. Unless you can get a model that outputs the actual spectrum recorded, rather than whatever the onboard software decides the spectrum means, this might be a bad idea.

@fclc@mast.hpc.social axe the integer ALU/AGU, there is only FPU memory addresses are 64-bit IEEE floats most of the NaN payload space can be used for NaN-boxing, memory tagging, or whatever else the OS finds use for Primary programming language: floatC (pronounced floatse) OK, I am putting the crack pipe down now

@golgaloth @Coliandre #myconid

@notsle Is this an April's fool joke that's a day late, or actually happening?

@k3ym0 I have always wondered where the "power source" they are tapping Hell for in DOOM came from. Turns out it was the DNS engineers engineers spinning in their graves all along.

@hatysa@autistics.life @SRLevine@neuromatch.social I see no corrosion on the tank neck valve

@chrysn @DrPen I think photoshop is already a widely used verb, so there is some progress there

@evacide@hachyderm.io Never been a better time to learn #chemistry https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZiAfioiHEfA

@whitequark @koopa512 @derf and I guess *some* GDDR on less powerful GPUs

@sellathechemist tangentially related, for anyone into mischief rolls of "for rectal use only stickers" are a great source of fun

@whitequark @koopa512 @derf The HBM is bonded to the silicon interposer, there is no desoldering that. Something like the H200 is not bad though, I would certainly not mind having an 8xH200 server for our research.

@freya the NX bit is for cowards

@timmc@better.boston This is probably the point where you should consult someone who actually works in #analyticalChemistry and environmental sample analysis. Maybe XRF is not the best route here? If building a small lab and taking the samples to said lab would be an option, a whole list of other instruments and techniques are available. IDK how much an atomic absorption spectrometer goes for these days, maybe that's an option. 1/2

@reneestephen@mastodon.social I am pretty sure this is a rude hand gesture in some parts of Eastern Europe or the Balkans.

@cwebber@social.coop unfortunately the PM driver/firmware is broken on this particular SoC, so when the system wakes from S0ix the SATA controller will be locked up GLHF
