Oh, esphome is more than only esp32 these days. For one it always worked on the pre-esp32 ESPs. But yeah, RPI2040, nrf52 and a couple of other platforms work too.

I dont know nothing about this particular leak, but I have worked at Skatteverket.

Let me just say, the likelihood that CGI would have any _actual_ real personal data is close to 0%, at least on servers outside of Skatteverket. I had access to absolutely nothing even working inside. I have never worked in a more closed-down system, maybe excepting the swedish military "complex". No, actually that was less locked down in a way, at least once you were "inside" the system.

I would be REALLY REALLY impressed if it manages to do this without bugs. Just using pythons textual can be very complex, belive it or not. Maaging not only to that but other frameworks too sounds insanely complex. I have a strong feeling this is vibecoded from the commit history?`

Ah yes, it says clearly that on the github page. Still, if its works, I am then impressed by the LLM.

Edit: It does, in fact, NOT work for code export. Level of impressiveness massively dropped.

Yeah, the website has many bugs too. Literally can't click on 50% of the "clickable" stuff. Not impressed by vibe coded nonsense. The comments here are weird, people are discussing the "idea" rather than the broken implementation.

Probably a bad omen of things to come for the internet.

As overseeing backing up, from various optical media to disk, just don't use the optical stuff!

This was a huge international conglomerate, doing CD backups for decades. Now it turns out these precious backups only worked 96-98% of the time. Terrible stuff.

Actually 96-98% is not great but not terrible if you're employing some kind of parity scheme across multiple discs. It just means 1 in 20 (or 1 in 10 to be safe) extra discs in the mix.

Source for this? That sounds insane.

I assume they meant 7-8/hour.

I as a "developer", I have probably used less than 10% of my time coding the last 15 or so years... I switched jobs to being a contractor in 2011, and after that it has been a downward slope towards less and less coding, and more of other things. Mostly validation and testing in various forms.

Meh, I still only buy the two-dial microwaves. They are both the cheapest and best at the same time!

Seriosly? They leak emissions if you OPEN THE DOOR WHILE ITS RUNNING?

I thought they were actually, like, certified? How can this not have been tested and fixed... shutting down the magnetron can not take long, right? Making it react fast enough doesnt feel like an intractable problem at all!

Having been trained to listen to the hum of the magnetron for several reasons (among them: it affects how popcorn pops and if you are in lunch room setting with a complete mixture of models you have to listen to know which sort of microwave you "lucked" into that day and adapt to its challenges to avoid burning popcorn) it takes a surprising amount of time for even a good one to spin up to full speed as much as a quarter second. As microwaves age or get cheaper some of them take a full wall clock second or two. Some of the cheap models even lie to you and don't start their own timers until after the magnetron hits full speed.

Something that becomes more apparent the more you listen (but also if you actually pay attention to diagrams of how a microwave works): the magnetron is a spinning thing with its inertia. Even if you immediately cut power to it, it still spins on its own for some amount of time. Given how much energy and wall clock time it takes to spin up to full speed, it shouldn't be surprised it needs similar wall clock time, if not energy to full stop.

But also, yeah the door pull sensor is a classic analog latch detector that has a slower sensing time than a button would by its very nature (and trying to avoid false positives from a loose/vibrating door). It's an easy thing to cut corners on and some sensors are worse than others.

(And also, safety certifications include a margin of error that it still "generally regarded as safe", what's a few extra microwaves escaping into your body among friends as long as it isn't full power?)

Er - you know a magnetron doesn’t actually spin, right?

Ackshully that's not strictly true. Some (very) old models did not rotate the food, but instead rotated the microwave emitter in the top of the cavity.

As a first approximation of referring to magnetic fields and their flux and inertia, "spins" is still a useful and common word for that. But yes, not necessarily the best technically correct word.

If I'm understanding the paper correctly, the bursts had a mean duration of 0.14 seconds, which for a 1000 W microwave would expose you to 140 joules, enough to heat about a shot's worth of water by 1°C. Seems plenty fast to me.

The magnetron itself has about about 65% efficiency, but the paper conjectures that the longer duration of the pulses is due to defects in the cavity that result in some emission at a lower frequency (1.4 rather than the normal 2.4 GHz), so the energy radiated must be a tiny fraction of the nominal power.

This assumes all the energy is leaked when you open the door, and that the power is constant rather than ramping down. I'm guessing a -lot less- leaks than this.

(And, of course, you don't absorb all of what leaks).

heywhatsthat?

I think that was it, thank you for finding it again!

Actually, I was thinking of https://caltopo.com/map.html but your site led me to it.

I mean this is coming to the same result as heywhatsthat, apparently using the same dataset. Sadly it is not really correct, in that I think it blends a lot of things, including TREEs into the height. Its very obvious many places that some height is just not true, unless you account for buildings and treetops.

I believe I _might_ have a 33km view FROM MY ROOF, from 2m above ground I have much less than 1 km.
