Honestly an AI model might be fairly okay at this?

Same, just had two fail, in a qnap 100gb switch with a reasonable level of cooling… Meanwhile the 100g optics are actually doing just fine!

The difference between fiber module and RJ45 is massive. I found it funny that Ubiquity own switches (at least my Enterprise 8 PoE - the one they call "vintage" - I kid you not) will set the fan default to 35 (whatever that value means) if you use SFP+ RJ45 module (regardless of temps), and have fans at 0 without the module, when the switch is below 75 celsius.

Ironically, one of my switches with the RJ45 module runs cooler than the one without because Ubiquity does not let you do any fan control on Unifi Enterprise 8 PoE.


How common is this? In scouts we often did this, jumping into alpine lakes where you could see a glacier melting across the water.

We were also told that to treat heatstroke tossing someone in the lake and then treating for shock was somewhat preferable…


Very common.

There are quarries around where I am that have signs posted to not swim there in the Spring. Yet, like clockwork, 1-2 people drown each Spring.


That's a different kind though and only mentioned on the side in the linked blog. If you don't know what you're doing and you jump into freezing water for the first time, chances are that you'll breathe in water. Happened to me as well. Let me tell you, it really sucks. If you're unlucky, this can definitely be enough to make you drown. But with training you can easily overcome this problem. I have jumped into arctic waters many times since then with zero issues. What the blog claims, is that there is a vague, general physiological risk from some kind of mixed response targeting your heart. I have to say I've never heard of this before (except for people with pre-existing conditions) and the blog does a poor of explaining the biology beyond high school level anecdotes. It also cites zero sources. So while there is a risk, it is not what you might think after reading OP's link.

No, I am not talking about people drowning from the gasp reflex.

Every single year, during the first "hot" day of late Spring/early Summer, kids will get on their bikes, go to the local quarry where they've swum a million times before, and die from exposure.

The quarries are deep and surrounded by trees. Most of them don't receive any direct sunlight. So, while the ambient temperature may be 75F, the quarry water will still be near freezing. A kid will jump from up high on the quarry ledge down into the water, go into shock, and die before they can swim to edge.

Again, this happens every single year.


Ice hole swimming is common where I am, and each year some people die from fainting in the water due to entering too rapidly without training. A few years ago there was a case of an experienced woman losing consciousness and drowning in front of her husband and kids. Not sure about heart attacks in particular, I think you need an underlying condition to have an attack.

Dicks in Seattle is currently only 5.75 for the deluxe; everything else is less! And IMO, very good for the money.

This 1000% - I’ve used AI to enable SSH in one Phase One digital back I own, and to reverse engineer and patch the firmware on another to make the back think it’s a different back - Credo 50 to IQ250! The internals are literally the Sam.

I'm sorry, are you trusting an LLM to touch a camera that costs like a new car?

Only a little bit of touching for the really expensive one. The Credo 50 was less than 1K though.

Also Phase One Support/Repair is absolutely phenomenal and unless you toast the sensor; repairs are “fairly” economical.


Anyone also seeing Active Directory/Entra issues?

Also prevents you from messing with it too much, as any substantial change requires draining and refilling your loop.

Not really the case in any of the high cost of living cities - when I graduated undergrad in the mid 2010s, my peers where getting offers from Microsoft for 100-120K for their standard out of school dev positions, Amazon was better as was Apple from what I recall. Plenty of 23 year olds making that much?

Verilog is not the best and that’s not even the worst part - tools like ISE/Vivado and Quartus are even worse!

It’s really amazing that at least there are some fully open flows for FPGAs these days, unfortunately they don’t support system Verilog. (I think this is still the case?)



that STMicroelectronics is 8.31cm by 9.92cm. That's _massive_ by digital sensor terms, but still pretty far off the 42cm by 29cm OP's effectively using.
