ECC genuinely is the only check against memory bitflips in a typical system. Obviously, there's other stuff that gets used in safety-critical or radiation-hardened systems, but those aren't typical. Most software is written assuming that memory errors never happen, and checksumming is only used when there's a network transfer or, less commonly, when data's at rest on a hard drive or SSD for a long time (but most people are still running a filesystem with no redundancy beyond journaling, which is really meant for things like unexpected power loss).
There are things that mitigate the impact of memory errors on devices that can't detect and correct them, but they're not redundancies. They don't keep everything working when a failure happens, instead just isolating a problem to a single process so you don't lose unsaved work in other applications etc.. The main things they're designed to protect against are software bugs and malicious actors, not memory errors, it just happens to be the case that they work on other things, too.
Also, it looks like some of the confusion is because of a typo in my original comment where I said unrecoverable instead of recoverable. The figures that are around 10% per year are in the CE column, which is the correctable errors, i.e. a single bit that ECC puts right. The figures for unrecoverable/uncorrectable errors are in the UE column, and they're around 1%. It's therefore the 10% figure that's relevant to consumer devices without ECC, with no need to extrapolate how many single bit flips would need to happen to cause 10% of machines to experience double bit flips.
It wasn't originally my claim - I replied to your comment as I was scrolling past because it had a pair of sentences that seemed dodgy, so I clicked the link it cited as a source, and replied when the link didn't support the claim.
Specifically, I'm referring to
A single bit flipped by a gamma ray will not cause any sort of issue in any modern computer. I cannot overstate how often this and other memory errors happen.
This just isn't correct:
loads of modern computers don't use DDR5 or ECC variants of older generations at all, so don't have any error-correcting memory. If the wrong bit flips, they just crash.
loads of modern computers don't exclusively use DDR5, e.g. graphics memory (which didn't have error correction until GDDR7 but can still cause serious problems, e.g. if a bit flips in a command buffer and makes the GPU write back to the wrong address in main memory, overwriting something important), and various caches (SRAM is vulnerable to bit flips from various kinds of radiation, too). If the wrong bit flips, they just crash.
Compared to other computer problems that can put the wrong data into memory, like experiencing a bug because a programmer made a mistake, or even just a part wearing out from age, memory errors are really rare, so anything implying normal people need to care is thoroughly overstating their prevalence.
That study doesn't seem to support the point you're trying to use it to support. First it's talking about machines with error correcting RAM, which most consumer devices don't have. The whole point of error correcting RAM is that it tolerates a single bit flip in a memory cell and can detect a second one and, e.g. trigger a shutdown rather than the computer just doing what the now-incorrect value tells it to (which might be crashing, might be emitting an incorrect result, or might be something benign). Consumer devices don't have this protection (until DDR5, which can fix a single bit flip, but won't detect a second, so it can still trigger misbehaviour). Also, the data in the tables gives figures around 10% for the chance of an individual device experiencing an unrecoverable error per year, which isn't really that often, especially given that most software is buggy enough that you'd be lucky to use it for a year with only a 10% chance of it doing something wrong.
I'm glad to see someone's made this because it's been bouncing around in my head for ages but I've never got around to putting it together and letting it out.
It'll heat up the firebox, which is exactly what the firebox wants to happen. It's not like we're using precisely-timed explosives to briefly make the mass much more than critical and counter its desire to blow itself apart for long enough that it blows other things apart, too.
The press widely covered AV as if it was incredibly expensive and didn't solve any problems, so presented it as if we'd be throwing away beds at children's hospitals, support for pensioners and equipment for soldiers just to introduce pointless bureaucracy. If the choice was the one most voters thought they were making, then voting against it would have been the sensible option.
You can boost it by hollowing out the middle and filling it with tritium, but plutonium is dense, so 80 tons will probably fit in the firebox just fine.
Giving a country with a track record of violating treaties as long as Russia's anything that lets them feel like they gained from the war in return for a treaty saying they'll stop the war is going to cost more Ukrainian lives than continuing to fight, even to the last man. All a peace treaty like that achieves is vindicating Russia's decision to violate the last treaty. It doesn't stop the war, just pauses it while Russia rearms, so it can be even bloodier when it resumes than it would have been if it hadn't paused. If Ukraine can't make Russia lose, more Ukrainians (and more citizens of Russia's other neighbours who are at risk of being next in line) survive if they make Russia's victory pyrrhic so they learn that it isn't profitable to invade their neighbours again.
I've printed kilos and kilos of Geeetech PLA, and that's some of the cheapest on AliExpress (although I used to get it directly from their website before I realised doing that was normally more expensive). It arrives wet, but other than that, there's (nearly) nothing to complain about (although years ago, I had a roll with two lumps of grit in it that caused clogs). I've had mixed success with their other materials - their ABS+ started burning in the nozzle while still being cold enough that layer adhesion was bad and their high-speed PLA has ridiculous oozing that causes ridiculous stringing, but their PETG and TPU seem fine. I'm pretty confident that their basic materials are absolutely worth £7/kg.
Some of the charity is self-serving, e.g. eradicating diseases means he's less likely to catch them (and really any billionaire not funnelling funds to pandemic prevention etc. is being moronic), and founding charter schools on land he owns so over the life of the school they pay more in rent for the lease than they cost to build is just a tax dodge. Most billionaires are just so evil that they won't spend money on themselves if other people who aren't paying also benefit, so in comparison, Gates' better ability to judge what's in his interests makes him look good.
In the UK it's the coroner who makes that descision (unless, e.g. someone dies in hospital and a doctor can see what they died of), and they're independent of the police, so it'd become a multi-agency coverup if they were doing that.
It's the Met, though, so they might just not notice bodies in the first place or be able to add up the numbers they get from the coroner once they get into double figures. For an organisation so institutionally incompetant as the Met, you have to apply Hanlon's Razor by default.
You should be leaving enough stopping distance between yourself and the next car that someone can merge easily and you have time to react by slowing down or moving to the next lane to make space for them. If you don't have that much stopping distance, then you're already in danger if the car in front brakes suddenly, e.g. if they need to do an emergency stop because of something you've not seen, they have a medical event making them lose consciousness and accidentally step on the brake pedal, or their car breaks down in a way that forces the breaks on.
As if hundreds of kiloamps wasn't extreme enough, now aluminium refining can produce thousand-degree oxygen gas as a byproduct for unprededented levels of fun.
In a lot of the world they're regulated as novelty items, so free from the regulation that stops harmful chemicals being in things like kitchen utensils and childrens' toys, despite many of the same potential risks being present. You don't need to use a corner-cutting regulation-ignoring retailer like Wish to get your fix of toxic plasticisers etc..
You get both sizes of gametes with all kinds of bodies. It's only the testes/ovaries that are reliably correlated with gamete size, and anything further away from their production than that has about the same chance of not being the style you'd expect as an atom has of not being hydrogen or helium, just like the original meme alludes to.
The geeky minority who care that it's open source might be predisposed to liking each other, though, so the user base wouldn't need to be as big as a general-purpose dating app.
