Something to do with frequencies?

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a nationwide ground stop due to frequency issues across the National Airspace System (NAS) until 2200 UTC.
reply

A "frequency" issue is weird. Sounds like a botched systemwide DSP update... maybe??

My friends who works in audio engineering --- not quite the same as radar, but still a lot of DSP --- said the DSP algorithms are mostly AI generated now... whereas they used to be handcrafted by engineers

their website looks like it came from 1998. It's pretty incredible.

On the other hand, the pinned post on the Secretary of Transportation's profile on X is about introducing a new AI-powered air traffic management tool.

looks like it came from 1998

Probably off by a a little under a decade; it has this line in the html:

<!--[if IE 7]>
        <link href="/faaTemplatePublic/styles/ie7.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen,projection">
    <![endif]-->

IE 7 was released in 2006 and the only mentions it has is <IE6, IE6, IE7, nothing else.

I've never thought about the median blocktime before...

reply

There's even 25th percentile and 75th percentile too!

Come to think of it, fitting observed block time distribution to a Poisson distribution might make for an interesting exercise. I'm sure someone has done it, but I'm not sure if anyone has posted about it on SN.

I was reading this PR piece from SpaceX and after reading

In the Rio Grande Valley, SpaceX is planning to invest more than $24 billion in new supercomputing infrastructure [..] The new project has already generated more than 3,000 construction jobs and is expected to support more than 500 permanent jobs once operational.

I think it would be a fun project to source info for a graph: millions spent per job created over time.

@k00b HI! Sorry to ask, but I have a question. My wallet is connected to SN and is active, but I just noticed that there are two payments I didn’t receive in my wallet instead, they arrived in my CC.

I boosted your post with CCs for some extra visibility while I sort out my node issues. I’ll zap you as soon as it’s working! ^^

If your wallet is healthy and there's nothing in your logs showing failures, then I'd guess the zapper only had CCs.

  • zappers may have chosen to send you CCs instead of sats
  • there could be an issue paying your receiving wallet
    • if the zap is small and you don't have a direct channel to SN, the routing fee may exceed SN's 3% max fee
    • check your wallet logs for clues

For example, you can see 7,000 there; it doesn't say "failed," but it’s not in my wallet either.

It looks like the 7k sat payer's wallet is failing. There's not much you or I can do about that.

I'll spend some time looking more closely today (the "invoice for 0 sats cancelled by payer" is unexpected).

I was trying to zap 10k CCs this morning but forgot to disable Spark, so it was trying to do 7k sats + 3k CCs. I need to move some sats to it, that error always appears to the payee when I don't have enough balance.

I was asking out of curiosity, as there is still a lot I don’t know, and I thought it might be an issue with my wallet. Thanks for the explanation.

Got sone research to allocate: it could cover either one H200, two H100s or six months of postdoc salary. What would you go for? I could def use the chips to run some open weight model and some of my heavy computations. But it just feels so expensive atm. Should I wait for Jensen to sleep with his replacement CEO to tank the market further? For the postdoc, I need to decide now to start the hiring process, for the GPUs I can wait until March before buying them. Then again, I probably should check if there is any waiting time where I'm at now.

fwiw Someone in the lab that does local AI stuff recommends fewer more powerful GPUs because communication ends up being a bottleneck.
