The investigation found no issues with hardware and software. Watching this video jogged my memory on that incident and now I truly believe it was caused by cosmic rays.

“The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.” -H.P. Lovecraft (I copy-pasted that quote from somewhere else due to its length)

Its not a thing. This is like seeing a UFO, then coming to the conclusion that it must be aliens. It was recently proven that the mario 64 bit flip was not caused by "cosmic rays", but a hardware malfunction. I can guarantee every other example given here is similar. "we couldn't find the problem, so it must be an issue from outer space" - cmon now.

everyone in IT probably has heard of bogos sort, a ridiculous sorting algorithm that rearranges the list randomly until it just so happens the random rearranging resulted in an ordered list. an even wackier sorting algoorithm, however, is one that does nothing but occasionally check if the list had been correctly ordered, relying solely on these cosmic rays to flip the bits in just the right way so that the list is ordered

Your videos rekindle my fascination with all things science, not only that but you're able to break down and explain some wildly complicated things that most people wouldn't even begin to understand. Just goes to show how much effort you put into research and understanding, as well as talking to field professionals & experts. It doesn't go unnoticed and I hope you never stop making these.

A big picture puzzles together, however this time going backwards in time on KZfaq. You have a good resilience about common thoughts and you do seem to somehow break through standard thinking patterns, explaining reality using an uninfluenced, neutral way of the minimum understanding capabilities of an open minded human being.

This reminds me of an incident back in 2017 or so. I was busy working on several of my devices all at once, when nearly every single one of them locked up. All except of course for Phoenix, my dual-processor home server/workstation. It being built off of a decommissioned server motherboard meant of course that I had fully populated its 18 RAM slots with a total of 72gb of registered ECC memory. That computer of course just kept on trucking like nothing had happened.

"Cosmic rays" has been a sysadmin joke for explaining system failure for about 30 years, and it's cool to have a video like this that actually explains what happens.
@farmergiles1065 2 жыл бұрын
Actually, it's a joke about a reality. As a programming neophyte in 1980, I was quick to hear of a faculty member who had proved one of his programs had failed to run correctly when the program logic was correct. The machine was an IBM-360-type mainframe, and after the program proof, a bit flip at a certain point was demonstrated to cause the same failure. The faculty was well aware of cosmic rays and the many experiences NASA had been accumulating over years of flights, so there was no reticence about looking there. When a new computer science building was erected subsequently, it contained rather a lot of concrete, and the mainframe was located in a deep basement under a thick layer of it, in order to minimize its vulnerability to cosmic rays, reducing detectable quantities by a significant margin. So for us students who had to produce working programs within a given number of tries, we had to meet a high bar to make such claims, and the joke was more about what would be required to submit a proof to the admins.

They should just store multiple copies of the vote totals in different memory locations. Then, when votes are incremented, run a comparison between the different totals and look for discrepancies between the values. It blows my mind that they just trust a single variable in memory to be a total source of truth for a number for such an important application as vote tallies, knowing that random bit flips can happen..
