    If only

  2. This is incorrect - they can split however the driving chip supports. (Q|O)SFP(28|56|112|+) can all be split to a single differential lane. All (Q|O)SFP(28|56|112|+) does is provide basically direct, high quality links to whatever you chips SERDES interfaces can do. It doesn't even have to be ethernet/IB data - I have a SFP module that has a SATA port lol.

    There's also splitting at the module level, for example I have a PCIe card that is actually a fully self hosted 6 port 100GB switch with it's own onboard Atom management processor. The card only has 2 MPO fiber connectors - but each has 12 fibers, which each can carry 25Gbps. You need a special fiber breakout cable but you can mix anywhere between 6 100GbE ports and 24 25Gbe ports.

  3. I assume if all the inputs are anonymous you could? Like phone/email. Never tried either haha.
  4. There’s also a fairly decent wind storm coming in tonight - 45mph gusts predicted.

    It’s going to be an interesting week in the Washington PNW…

  5. A full frame focal plane shutter _cannot_ work for medium format sadly. It's be definition too small. I don't think you can use them partially in front of the focal plane, but I could be wrong.

    Medium format focal plane shutters do exist, copal made them for Mamiya/Phase One for their AF, AFD, DF, DF+, and XF cameras. Some of which work for medium format film.

  6. Does it not? It feels like it’s taken seriously nationally.

    All the local high schools in the Seattle area had/have serious jazz programs that sent students to The Essentially Ellington competition/festival - the one the movie Chops is about.

    Seattle probably has the most overall bands sent of any city in the country. I guess we sent 4 this year - https://www.seattletimes.com/entertainment/music/4-seattle-a...

  7. Buy amazon gift card in cash, setup new account, ship scratch card to locker? (Idk if they’d let you do that).

    I think you can still mail them cash?

  8. I’d be really curious to see - that would possibly sell me on one! Linux should also report edac being up in dmesg if it has ecc.
  9. Yeah this tracks - if someone says something is “not great” it’s probably extremely bad haha. or “super cool no problems here” (there’s tear gas streaming through the windows)
  10. Amusingly the lenses are worse than silicon at transmitting that wavelength.

    1550nm might be worse for sensors because a good portion of the light is only being dumped into the metal layers - pure silicon is mostly transparent to 1550nm. Not sure how doped silicon would work. I can tell you that 1070nm barely works on an IQ3 Achromatic back…

  11. The level of work that goes into even “small” games is pretty incredible. When I was a grad student another student was doing their (thesis based, research focused) masters while working at EA on a streetfighter(?) game.

    The game programming was actually just as research focused and involved as the actual research. They were trying to figure out how to get the lowest latency and consistency for impact sounds.

  12. Meanwhile in Seattle... 0.14$ per KW

    (Oh wow off peak will be 0.08$?!)

  13. I have a little rust script that uses the built in vision toolkit to do ocr of pdfs, it spins up the ANE to a full 1W compared to 0 as measured by the power profiler. So it is used!

    IMO, It’s a very apple strategy, stuff just works and is slowly more accelerated/lower power.

  14. Yep, it’s a 2 way learning street - you can learn new things from non native speakers, and they can learn from you as well. Any kind of auto Translation removed this. (It’s still important to have for non fluent people though!)
  15. This happens so much! It’s actually imo much more important to be able to let the math go and compare concepts vs. the exact algorithms. It’s much more useful to have semantic intuition than concrete analysis.

    Being really good at math does let you figure out if two techniques are mathematically the same but that’s fairly rare (it happens though!)

  16. Necro reply - I don't think they actually shipped it with ECC... If you lookup a Z1 mina G1a repair video: https://youtu.be/1i_PfH05ekw?si=MpQ0Uc9QVwhgsFzi&t=267 It has 8 chips, not 10. It needs 10 from true ECC.
  17. Especially somewhere like Japan. A newer hotel is probably one of the safest places to be.
  18. I’m sure they manage to hit 120fps smoothly too just like MacOS? …
