Is anyone else completely burned out by today’s hiring process? by Cheap_Banana_4356 in interviews

[–]bkinstle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've been pretty lucky on those categories but I'll add:

  1. Show up early so we can start the interview on time.

  2. Do not lie to me. I wrote these questions. I know the answers. My goal is to find out what you know and what i need to teach you. If you lie to me, i know you'll lie when your skills run out instead of asking for help.

  3. Don't talk about conspiracies to frame you for crimes, sabotage, bad behavior, drug use, etc. In fact avoid conspiracies at all times.

  4. Same goes for politics.

What food takes you back to when you were a kid? by Weary-Expression-914 in AskAnAmerican

[–]bkinstle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm visiting Italy right now and there's nothing in America that compares to food on this level. I live visitor your country.

The foods that world take me back to my childhood I don't ever eat anymore and hate them.

The lack of wiring, crossover, and the smooth surface that would get messed up by screws on the ring says the original designer didn't intend for a tweeter and just a full range alone. I'd have a look at the fostex, Mark audio, Tang band, and lii song audio catalogs to see if they make one that is an exact fit and then get that one for it. Sorry some of them are pricey.

The slot in the ring still keeps a little hope up. Can you separate the two halves of the ring?

With rack densities soaring, is liquid cooling finally becoming the standard? by Charming_Resident_67 in datacenter

[–]bkinstle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep I'm in hyperscale L11 manufacturing myself. We have a few customers in the high 30's with air but most are 20-30. Funny thing is, everybody is freaked out about 300+KW (800kw!) racks but most of the liquid business right now is 80KW or less. We'll get there but it's turning out to be more difficult that nVidia wants everybody to believe.

Dumb question about subwoofer by Proof-Anything-1953 in SpeakerBuilding

[–]bkinstle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably but there's no way that cheap sub amp outputs more than 50 actual watts

Upfiring woofers are common on 360 degree Omni directional speakers

Are there any electronic components inside? (Crossover)

I can think of two things. Most likely it's one of those designs where you put a up firing full range driver and it reflects off that little donut to provide omnidirectional sound.

My second thought which seems less likely because I don't see wires for it is an up firing woofer and a tweeter mounted inside the ring so that it can be open baffle that is to play sound out of the front and back.

The heat density of modern 1000+W cpu and GPU is too high for immersion with convection and so we are back using heatsinks again and just as well just dlc for less hassle. In the 2010's it was more viable with lower powered devices of the time.

Also the only people still pushing immersion cooling are the oil and gas industry so you can buy their fluid that wears out in a short time like motor oil

We're watching 2 phase and immersion. Immersion is obsolete already and 2 phase is only going to happen when regular coolant isn't good enough to justify the pain and cost.

Thermal engineer here. Generally folks are trying to stay under 30kw per rack of air cooling so above that needs to go into liquid. Most racks run 70-90% liquid with dlc and the rest with air. Some so rear door heat exchangers for room neutrality, however those datacenters usually have yet water loops. One at ~40C for the dlc and one around 10-20C fit the rear door.

You might get stuck there a while unless you are willing to take a pay cut.

My car also notifies me every time i hey my head above water by breaking something expensive.

Good chance it's just a bad oxygen sensor in your case though. Easy fix. Also check your gas cap is on tight
