Too many people have complained about using SSD as offline storage and came to realize that after a year and a half, of being offline a significant amount of the data was gone.

It must be technically feasible to make a pure mechanical HDD that has higher throughputs.

Right as we speak a copy of one of my large audio projects is made to a mechanical HDD. I ask myself why technology has not evolved in a way that single consumer grade drives can take the TB of data they hold in at speeds that are proportional to their size.

It takes 10 minutes for a puny 100GB to be transferred at about 160MB/s from the M.2 SSD to the mechanical spinner which still rotates at that lousy 7200RPM.

My Ultrawide SCSI Fijitsu HDD on my A4000T rotated at 10.000RPM! That HDD is from the last century!!!

IT still works!

If HDD companies put in the proper research we may not be having 20.000RPM drives on servers, because of mechanical limits, but we should have had 10.000 rpm drives now for consumer grade mechanical HDDs.

After 1 week with the new keyboard at home, my view still stands. The new one is a lovely keyboard, and it really feels great to type on. However, it can not compete with my Moonlander when it comes to flexibility and configurability. The Moonlander is the best keyboard I have ever used. Expensive, but great. The Moonlander also has just enough keys for those of us that use a non-english typeset on a regular basis.

Also, as a side-note, and as a touch typer, I have gotten really used to the Moonlander being columnar instead of using a traditional layout. The “traditional” layout made sense back in the days of mechanical typewriters, where the typeset arms weren’t supposed to be able to tangle themselves up if you typed “too fast”. The traditional layout really doesn’t make much sense these days, on computers.

My current switches are Kailh Copper, so I do like tactile ones...but I guess I just want to try something different. But definitely not going for clicky AND I need them to be good with LED lights because I like my keys backlit.

Bought a new keyboard for home as I plan to use my beloved Moonlander at work instead. Went for a QMK Keychron keyboard which is lovely in itself, but trying things out I am now holding a completely new appreciation for ZSA’s firmware configurator, which is what I use to configure the Moonlander. It is MILES ahead of the QMK/VIA configurator. I had no idea.

I thought the ZSA configurator, being based on QMK, would be similar to what I could expect for any QMK keyboard. I was wrong.

It is like comparing the latest set of flight controls with a bicycle.

Fortunately not full backlight keys, because I really like that #mechanical #keyboard design and would have bought it :p

"Empirical Hyper Element Integration Method (EHEIM) with Unified Integration Criteria for Efficient Hyper Reduced FE$^2$ Simulations"
https://arxiv.org/abs/2503.19483 #Physics.Comp-Ph #Mechanical #Math.Na #Cs.Na #Ecm

arXiv.orgEmpirical Hyper Element Integration Method (EHEIM) with Unified Integration Criteria for Efficient Hyper Reduced FE$^2$ SimulationsNumerical homogenization for mechanical multiscale modeling by means of the finite element method (FEM) is an elegant way of obtaining structure-property relations, if the behavior of the constituents of the lower scale is well understood. However, the computational costs of this so-called FE$^2$ method are so high that reduction methods are essential. While the construction of a reduced basis for the microscopic nodal displacements using proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) has become a standard technique, the reduction of the computational effort for the projected nodal forces, the so-called hyper reduction, is an additional challenge, for which different strategies have been proposed in the literature. The empirical cubature method (ECM), which has been proven to be very robust, implemented the conservation of the total volume is used as a constraint in the resulting optimization problem, while energy-based criteria have been proposed in other contributions. The present contribution presents a unified integration criteria concept, involving the aforementioned criteria, among others. These criteria are used both with a Gauss point-based as well as with an element-based hyper reduction scheme, the latter retaining full compatibility with the common modular finite element framework. The methods are combined with a previously proposed clustered training strategy and a monolithic solver. Numerical examples empirically demonstrate that the additional criteria improve the accuracy for a given number of modes. Vice verse, less modes and thus lower computational costs are required to reach a given level of accuracy.

Great episode of #TechWontSaveUs with @timnitGebru

It's a real pleasure to listen to such a rich conversation on such diverse topics.

I especially liked how the topic of how the #AI industry labels people and methods was addressed.

It's the same for me, I've ended up assuming I'm a #DataScientist when I'm actually a #mechanical #engineer with a #PhD in #statistics. But the industry has decided that what I am is something I haven't studied about.
