Wow, I was spoiled building firmware for my ARM boards then (building, not developing).

Marvell has a source available DDR driver that actually takes care of training on a few of their platforms! https://github.com/MarvellEmbeddedProcessors/mv-ddr-marvell

> 8 lets me refresh weekly and have a fixed day of the week to check whether there was some API 429 timeout

There’s your answer.

6 days means on a long enough enough timeframe the load will end up evenly distributed across a week.

8 days would result in things getting hammered on specific days of the week.

> 6 days means on a long enough enough timeframe the load will end up evenly distributed across a week.

people will put */5 in cron and result will be same, because that's obvious, easy and nice number.

I'd have it renew Monday and Thursday to avoid weekend outages.

If they put */5 in cron, a single error response will break their site and the beginning of March will also break their site.

and they will replace it with * and just do it every day just in case

Running an update script every day is good. Certbot defaults to running twice a day. Just use something with similar logic, waiting to renew short-lived certificates until halfway through their validity period. That way the actual load is nice and spread out. And you should get that logic by default if you do a normal setup.

I’d expect most will do this. I wouldn’t be surprised if LE expects this.

If I would use short-lived certs I would make sure to choose an ACME client that has support for ARI (ACME Renewal Information). Then the CA will tell the client when it’s time to renew.

ACME doesn't renew certificates when there's enough time, so it'll always renew around 6 days, even if you check more aggressively.

Currently ACME sets its cron job to 12 days on 90 day certificates.

Which ACME client are you referring to?

I thought people generally run it daily? It’s a no-op if it doesn’t need renewal.

so now people that want humans around will now renew twice in a week instead of once?

Oh definitely not. They don't want humans doing any renewals.

At this point I’m not convinced that Gemini 3 Pro was post-trained on data Google had permission to use, going by the myriad of issues on the Gemini CLI tracker around Google AI/Google One/Google Cloud/Google Workspaces.

https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/issues/12121

It is far too easy to accidentally end up under the wrong privacy agreement, to the point of where some workplaces are banning use of the Gemini CLI!

I think OP is wrong in their hypothesis based on the logs they share and the root cause AWS support provided them.

I think the promotion fails to happen and then an external watchdog notices that it didn’t, and kills everything ASAP as it’s a cluster state mismatch.

The message about the storage subsystem going away is after the other Postgres process was kill -9’d.

How would you propose we address the therapist shortage then?

Who ever claimed there was a therapist shortage?

The process of providing personal therapy doesn't scale well.

And I don't know if you've noticed, but the world is pretty fucked up right now.

... because it doesn't have enough therapists?

People are so naive if they think most people can solve their problem with a one hour session a week.

i think most western governments and societies at large

It's a demand side problem. Improve society so that people feel less of a need for theapists.

Oh, so you think we should improve society somewhat, eh? But you yourself live in society. Gotcha!

I think therapists in training, or people providing crisis intervention support, can train/practice using LLMs acting as patients going through various kinds of issues. But people who need help should probably talk to real people.

Remember that a therapist is really a friend you are paying for.

Then make more friends.

>Remember that a therapist is really a friend you are paying for.

That's an awful, and awfully wrong definition that's also harmful.

It's also disrespectful and demeaning to both the professionals and people seeking help. You don't need to get a degree in friendship to be someone's friend. And having friends doesn't replace a therapist.

Please avoid saying things like that.

If the universe is closed and knowable, free will can't exist. Fortunately, Heisenberg left the door open.

I don’t think non-commuting observables really helps much in the “free will existing” department.

unironically, this is such an elegant way to express ray marching

The hygroscopic nature of hydraulic fluid is there for the same reason it is in car brake fluid-

it's better to evenly distribute water throughout the fluid, than to have it accumulate in a low point

That's actually a really cool way to deal with that problem!

It is. Right up until you go to hit your brakes hard and it all boils out and removes your ability to apply brake pressure in an emergency and you had no idea how much water was in your line because there's no easy way to check, like a low spot with a sight glass.

Or if you leave a barrel of hydraulic fluid outside until it is partially water and it's not easy to notice when you are handling it.

Can't agree at all about a sight glass. The lowest point in nearly every brake system is the brake calipers themselves. Wheels going to make it difficult anyways on a car. Not to mention the risk of a rock striking and damaging rigid glass. Or the old interface that's sealing the glass to the calipers wearing out and causing a leak.

It's not worth the expense to manufacture and it's not worth the risk. Not when a litre of DOT4 is $20 and that only needs replacing every 3 years at an aggressive schedule for passenger cars.

Larger vehicles you can purchase a brake fluid tester, but most of the really large ones I know use air brakes anyways.

I think my mental model of hydraulic brakes is too simple. Where is there a low pressure region in a brake line? When I stomp on the brakes, isn't the working part of the hydraulic system going to be at higher pressure?

There isn't a low pressure braking region in the brakes.

But brakes can get really hot. Passenger brakes can easily get over the boiling point of water. Keep braking long enough and adding enough heat, and they'll get over the boiling point of brake fluid under pressure.

Thing is, brake fluid is incompressible. Brake fluid vapor however is very much so a compressible gas. Even more so: the water in the brake fluid has an even lower boiling point then that.

So stomping on the braking quickly isn't going to cause much of a problem. But if your riding the brakes down hill for a long distance with 12 year old brake fluid in hot Florida summer on very heavily loaded car? That... might get you into a spot of trouble.

I take your general point, but as per your specific example, it’s not really possible to go downhill for long distances when the high point of the state is 345 feet.

I've gone down the Sonora grade in a Silverado with 22 year old brake fluid. I wasn't towing, but it was very hot out and in general yes the brakes were hot when I checked at around 4000 feet.

I wonder if some YouTuber has done some experiment to see just how bad fluid had to get before a typical driver could notice.

have you considered a career as an F35 pilot? :-)

The one piece of good news is the highest point in Florida is just 345 feet above sea level so I think they'll be okay. :)
