I mean sure, there’s a reason that the medical procedure last minutes, but I expect that if you felt anything immediately, it would be heating.

You can read the Therac-25 reports to find out what it feels like to be hit with an electron beam with "ionize the air" sort of power.


quote:

The patient had been through a number of these sessions already, and knew they shouldn't feel a thing. The first time the technician activated the beam, however, he felt a burning sensation, which he later described like "hot coffee" being poured on his back. Without any intercom to call for help, he started to get off the treatment table. He was still extricating himself, screaming for help, when the technician unpaused the beam, at which point he felt something like a massive electric shock.

Previous models had hardware interlocks to prevent such faults, but the Therac-25 had removed them, depending instead on software checks for safety.

I worked with two TL vial fillers built in the 70's and one built by Bosch in 2012 and I would always take the fully manual ones over the computer-automated one any fuckin day, and poo poo like this is why.

I don't want a computer overriding me at every step when the reservoir is full of cytotoxic chemo drugs, antibiotics, botulism or opiates tbqh. E-stops are last-resort, not, "well it's acting funny."

Working in automation, one can really see the disregard we have for skilled work performed by an alert but not stressed person. There's nothing that can emulate it out there currently, and sometimes the laser focus on automation gets in the way of people being able to do their essential jobs correctly, even if there are cost savings.

But just imagine how many man hours of labour were saved by not optimising the UI or implementing cogent error messages or thoroughly testing the code, not to mention the savings from not using hardware safeties!

one of the reasons I really like the Panasonic CM600-series chipmounters I work on currently (ours were built around 99 and installed in 2000) is because everything is a hardware safety. Tape bunched up and pushed the feeder 1mm out of position? Red light, alarm, machine shuts down. Bumped the cover up a bit too hard on accident? Red light, alarm, machine shuts down. You literally have to override like 3 or 4 hardware switches to make them do something imminently dangerous, and the #1 point of safety training on those machines is, "don't touch this switch on the front of the machine ever - nor will you need to!" The rest are buried and only maint can physically get to them in any way that doesn't sound an alarm, anyway.

Late on this, but are most flammable gasses this heavy (I assume that’s why they stay low)?

Not all. most of the components of gasoline after vaporizing are. Butane, used as a component of winter fuel, boils at 0*c and is ~2 times heavier than air. At room temp, you can fill a cup with butane and light it. You shouldn't, but It's physically possible. Hydrogen on the other hand is much lighter than air, and still extremely flammable.

In the Alberta oilfield, everybody is specifically trained to deal with H2S, which because it's heavier than air settles in low areas on sour gas sites, and on top of being flammable, knocks you out instantly at 1,000 parts per million. If you're on a sour site(meaning H2S is present in the natural gas coming out or expected to come out of the well on site, and you see someone collapse, you yell "man down" and run away, and don't go back in until you have a SCBA on, because if you panic and run towards them, there are now 2 people dying on the ground.

Doesn't seem that bad to me. Other than doing the whole thing with the cab door open and no seat belt.

The dollys have ridges to keep the tracks from sliding. If the operator is paying attention he can work the swing like a fifth wheel for turns and lane changes but it looks like they're just heading down the road. The load probably isn't even that high for eight tires on the back and a dump truck.

Probably safer than walking it onto a low boy without side boards (they never have the side boards) for a short trip.

Python swallows woman at plantation in Indonesia

Body of 54-year-old worker found in stomach of 7-metre snake on island of Sumatra
“When the security team and residents conducted a search around the rubber plantation, then we found a python 7 metres long. It is this snake that is suspected of preying on the victim. After we caught him, we found the victim’s body in the snake’s stomach,” the local police chief, AKP S Harefa, told the Detik news site.

You can get 10 smaller tritium vials on AliExpress for less than $16 shipped: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804550432307.html nevermind, those say "not tritium" in fine print and the ones I got are no longer listed. Shop around though because there's some deals to be found.

They are actually very OSHA in my house, because I have coin-battery powered wireless dimmers on the walls (my lights were pull switch only, with no wall switch wiring, so I changed them to wireless smart bulb) and these let me always spot them when I come in at night.

We lost a millwright at UOP Honeywell from a software malfunction on a muller that was supposedly fully locked out. A dump door underneath it suddenly triggered and opened, and its hydraulic arm swung back to compress the chest of the millwright standing in the way to about 3 inches deep.

After the investigation we were given big welded braces to put on the arm when LO/TO work was being done on it. When I asked “did they fix the software” I was told Honeywell’s position was that there was nothing wrong with the software and the millwright must have done something wrong.

I never found out how the family’s lawsuit turned out. I was laid off there a year later.
