hrgiger··on Some CyberPower UPSes may pose a fire hazard
Guy in the imgur said that happened after overload error and this happened after he replaced battery, giving just the benefit of the doubt that overload might have damaged the unit already. Also if anyone planning to open, I would reach out supplier rather than breaking any possible warranty. But also home safety no joke, so there is that. I got 2 x 1300, I really liked , its been half year, only the having possibility of battery leak scared the .hit out of me because new units has new iron burn smell. It goes away after few weeks.
hrgiger··on Ask HN: Where have all the forums gone?
Two youtube channels I have been watching (level1tech & servethehome) also created their own forums I dont know if its kind of influencer step but both of them looks quite successful by the contributors and content.

Its mean you failed to spread the love horizontally
hrgiger··on Crypto firm Bitpanda lays off around 20% of its people
Yep , didnt even answer, I had similar interviews solving company problems but that one takes the lead, I still keep the email, hope someone from their team will read so they can re-calibrate their view

I skipped binance interview in the past when there was no crisis, their assignment:

Design and code a Content Management System (CMS) for Binance. The CMS would used to post articles for the public. The current Binance site supports up to 17 different languages. Each article would have some translations but not all articles have all of the 17 translations. Design and code a RESTful API for the CMS.

The user of the CMS would need to input the different translations for the same article. Design a user interface to facilitate this. We would only be looking at the functionalities of the user interface, so do not spend too much time on the design aspects.

Derive your own data model as deem fit. The preferred language for backend is Java and frontend is JavaScript though you are free to choose any other languages as well as frameworks.

Submit the code as a GitHub repository and make sure that the GitHub repository is public. Remember to add a README file for instructions on how to run the application and explanations (if any).

hrgiger··on Whatever happened to SHA-256 support in Git?
Thanks for the response, yes I can understand the preference in security context and dont want to drop 'why cryptographic hash' bomb into discussion, I was just thinking maybe keeping sha256/512 as default but having switchable options through the configuration for alternatives like your implementation or proven implementations or using filesystem features. No matter what that is laziness from my side, just throwing question rather than spending time on source.
hrgiger··on Whatever happened to SHA-256 support in Git?
Probably performance impact is little but still noticeable for a large project ,maybe even with modern hardware but wouldnt a portable approach would be better? Not the security but performance perspective maybe one would prefer cheap calculation, i.e. ext4 pre-calculate already crc32c , just found out google added alternative highwayhash recommends and claims it is faster.

hrgiger··on Anyone run a service with millions of users from one home computer?
Dont know the million part but if memory serves right lkml.org is running from home
hrgiger··on Ask HN: I shut down my company, now I need a job
Maybe you are having hard day or bad experience in similar situation, still you might consider taking a break and re-read your comment and see if you would like to hear similar criticism for yourself.
hrgiger··on Proposal: SIMD Support in Go
I think Klasupost is on point, if one needs more optimization let it be, but they have to deal with consequences, when they consider alternatives like SIMD probably they made the call that performance needs to be better (assuming no other cause) maybe kind of inlined assembly/C/instrinct block at same source code? Same goes with the Java , I prefer it when I want to stick to discipline but there are times you need heavy computation and the trade offs forces people different architectural decisions.

*edit: also go more flexible at C code https://github.com/lxwagn/using-go-with-c-libraries

hrgiger··on Amazon builds property empire, quietly buying land across the US
First thing comes to my mind turning cash to asset to stay stronger against economy, maybe Elons twitter bet was the same idea
hrgiger··on LUMI, Europe’s most powerful supercomputer
Afaik ROCM only provides fine tuned libs/drivers running on linux. At least it was provided that way years ago when I used and shipped with kinda soft vendor lock only main distros supported but if they provide now with the some tuned hpc OS that would be pretty good idea.

hrgiger··on No Army? No Problem: Defending the Home Front in Ancient Greece
Heya Turkish guy here, some points you mention I agree (our secularism, administration), but I found your lobbying approach for cheering for war and weapons quite disturbing, I love Greek people, we have many commons and differences, when I share my projects or work publicly I always think there is many otherside think like me, peaceful minds concentrated on development rather than destruction. Elections are due we will show our response to that administration as well. Hope we will have better discussions then.
hrgiger··on Twitter plans to comply with Musk’s demands for data
Probably very small part of twitter but fintwits (twits using Dolar signed stock symbols/crypto i.e. $tsla) has the highest bots.
hrgiger··on Deepfake Offensive Toolkit (real-time deepfakes for virtual cameras)
There is also work going on for deepfake detection challenges since years, I think forensics benchmark was the oldest one and other two placed at 2019 , I dont know if forensics still going on though

hrgiger··on Small Modular Reactors Exacerbate Challenges of Nuclear Waste
yes, I can take that as an answer:)
hrgiger··on Small Modular Reactors Exacerbate Challenges of Nuclear Waste
Few years ago I asked ESA via email the possibility of sending waste to space via micro satellites, i.e. to the sun, they didnt answer probably question was too stupid, maybe someone here knowledgeable can throw 2 cents about why its not good solution?
hrgiger··on 1 TW of solar to be deployed annually by 2030
For me its more like old 'dinosaur' cooperate mentality slows down r&d on alternatives, maybe its more of a fear taking a major step, while other startups with main focus on green energy taking the field and attention. Yet still countries like Norway recognized this years ago and started investing on green.
hrgiger··on Ask HN: What can I do today to prepare for anti-aging tech of the future?
Nope, I dont agree, if this kind of cancellation was a motive our progress in academic research should already slowed down.
hrgiger··on No Dislikes has officially ruined YouTube for me
My primitive first level filter is : Dont open any video if the person in video thumbnail has an open mouth looking to upside as there is a flying cow or a photoshopped larger eye pupil or head

hrgiger··on Nvidia Unveils 144-Core Grace CPU Superchip
afaik that bench still widely used but the epyc rome they mentioned is zen 2. As i understand it is still slightly faster than milan series but the power consumption is half of it. Here is benchmark result of 7713p https://www.spec.org/cpu2017/results/res2021q4/cpu2017-20210...
hrgiger··on Evidence of Fabricated Data in a Vitamin C trial by Paul E Marik et al in CHEST
Remind me the OTC company I have invested year ago, one of the cofounder had a really decent record, I am not expert in the bio research area but i had an impression that he was one of the respected authority in stem cell research. Then I try to find answers for "why stocks are so cheap", turns out his group confidently started fast trials at the beginning of COVID and resulted some deaths. It's hard to judge due to nature of pandemic executing a fast trial but his way of handling the aftermath was totally disaster for his company
