RisingFusionon Ask HN: Does anyone else notice YouTube causing 100% CPU usage and stattering?

If you have an adblocker it might be intentional.

RisingFusionon Disappointed with the TVs at CES 2025

I had an LG TV and it developed a terrible blue tint after 2 years because LG used low quality backlight LEDs. So now I am avoiding LG. It's the only TV I've had in my life that deteriorated. I am still using an 18 year old Sony in another room which is still as good as new.

RisingFusionon Bundeskartellamt imposes fine against Fritz brand products manufacturer AVM

I used to have connection issues every few weeks. I got a digital timer plug and reboot my router every night at 3am, that fixed almost all of my connection drops. I was thinking about this XKCD comic after digging through logs to try and trouble shoot the issue https://xkcd.com/1495/ and just went with the timer solution.

RisingFusionon Roll-to-roll fabricated perovskite solar cells under ambient room conditions

In Germany, 405 Watt panels new can be had for 65 euros. The law allows up to 800W to be connected to homes with relatively little bureaucracy, as a balcony solar power plant which renters can install without modifying the building. This seems to have pushed the price down, so there are many 800W kits including panels, an inverter and cables available for under 400 euros.

RisingFusionon I've procrastinated working on my thesis for more than a year

I took a similar approach with my thesis, I used voice typing while writing my first draft. The other approach I use in combination is writing every heading and subheading to create a document outline, then fill the gaps. The power of these approaches are breaking down the work into smaller manageable chunks.

RisingFusionon Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (October 2022)

  Location: Germany
  Remote: Yes, Required
  Willing to relocate: No
  Technologies: Tensforflow, Keras, Python, MATLAB/SCILAB, MySQL/MariaDB, Proxmox, Linux, ESP32, KiCAD, Git, Windows, general office software
  Résumé/CV: Available by email
  Email: risingfusion@web.de

  I have an engineering PhD and I am currently working as a postdoc, and have an additional 3 and a half years of professional experience as an engineer. I have experience working with a remote team around the world. I am experienced in machine learning and data analysis. I have worked on research projects where I have applied regression, classification, feature extraction for analysis of time series data and spectrometer data. This was mostly in Python with Tensorflow and Keras. I have used feature extraction to maximise performance and covert 1D data into 2D formats, and used transfer learning and image recognition techniques with excellent results. I have also worked programming microcontrollers (ESP32 and STM32) and worked on electronic schematic design and PCB design. I am looking for a position primarily focused on ML and data science. I have a limited contract for my current position and I am hoping to start a new position in Jan or Feb 2023. I am also happy to work hours that would give some overlap with time zones in USA/Canada.

RisingFusionon Ask HN: How did my LastPass master password get leaked?

Same issue for me.

Time Monday, December 27, 2021 at 3:55 PM EST

Location UNITED STATES

IP address 154.202.117.78

Password is only used for lastpass. It was caught since I use 2FA. I did previously have "The Great Suspender" chrome extension, which changed hands and had an update including malware, I wonder if this was the culprit.

I last changed my master password on November 24, 2017, the previous exploit was apparently resolved in July 2016.

RisingFusionon Dream Vendor "Canna_Bars" Sentenced to Prison

I think it was referring to Electrical network frequency analysis, which is to find the time that the recording was made. It compares small changes in mains hum frequency to historic records of the changes. I am not sure how it is in the US, but the UK grid has a single frequency over the network so it wouldn't work for finding the location.
