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.

"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 3 года назад

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.

Planes were contracted to tow scintillometers in N/S and E/W grids over the surface of the earth and record the gamma ray readings on a map. A hot spot was called an anomaly. Our company leaders had been employed by the AEC in the past and had access to the AEC Anomaly maps, for cash under the table at a local private club.

Correction on the Mario speedrun upwarp: that has not been confirmed; even the person that produced the video the article The Gamer wrote (a less-than-thorough company anyway) says they think it's highly unlikely it was a bit flip, much less a cosmic ray flipping it. Most of the community agrees, and further research into the actual N64 and game cartridge this happened on is hinting more at just a hardware glitch or something like that. Again, still not solved, but most likely not a cosmic ray.

@goldie3238 2 месяца назад

As a software engineer my first thought is store your very important data twice if you can but realized that if you make code that does that a bit shift does happen you don't know which data set got flipped so you would really have to store it 3 times and put it in the log that a bit was flipped and that it took data from the two datasets that where the same and the only way that this could fail is if the same bit is flipped on two of the three datasets which even one bit flip is rare so I doubt two would happen let alone two of the same bit in both datasets and also even if it did happen something is put into log and hopefully a human will check the log if an error happens and see that a very very rare occurrence has happened

@goldie3238 2 месяца назад

@@timothyleblanc9769 I had a situation today, a config parameter flipped from true to false after a docker build. Never seen this before. Hard to tell what caused it: a fault in software (VM, linux, docker), hardware or cosmic radiation. Or maybe I screwed it up? But I can't see how. It'd be interesting to know the probabilities of each.

I've been programming computers since 1969 and I thought this was solved in the 70's with ECC and other memory correction schemes. I also thought the math co processor functions on the Main-frames and Mini's actually ran the calculation multiple times behind the scenes because of how the compilers compiled the code. I had no idea this was still an issue. Holy cow! A plane gets bad data and attempts to fly into the ground. I'm speechless that on a plane's flight controls there isn't redundancy to counteract this.

@@valinorean4816 most memories are stored in physical pathways, very small but not exactly similar to computer chips. Some of them are stronger paths then others, but almost all of them should be strong enough to resist getting wiped from rads.
