As microchips get smaller and smaller, won't single event upsets (SEU) caused by cosmic radiation get more likely? Are manufacturers putting any thought to hardening the chips against them?

Intel refused to support ECC outside of the server space

Are you sure about that? or since when?

I had a home PC on ASUS CUV4X-D mobo, wasn't even server grade, ran dual Pentium III 1GHz with 4GB of Registered, ECC PC-133 SDRAM.

Just for the sake of to have dual core home PC during pre-dual core processor era. Ohh the bootdisk was an 18GB SCSI Cheetah X15 plugged onto an Adaptec SCSI AIB, it was a beast system at that time, the sound of the X15 spinning up was a music to my ears. Good moments.

Yes those are server grade parts, but I bought them 2nd hand except the mobo and CPUs which were just consumer grade parts from local shop, I was a student back then.

I’ve been browsing YouTube a lot and lately I’ve fallen into a loop of videos where uploaders ‘rescue’ sea turtles by cleaning their shells of debris and barnacles.

When nucleons bind to form a nucleus, does each nucleon "retain ownership" over its quarks (is each nucleon a truly unique entity)? Or is it possible for quarks to swap from one nucleon to another? Or does it not make sense to talk so exactly about them? Do other terrestrial planets have metals like gold, silver, etc? Why does coding work? How did complex systems like our circulation system evolve?
