- nickpsecurity 11y agoI thought I said "fault tolerance" rather than "hardware fault tolerance" to reduce confusion. I failed: inherently confusing I guess haha. To be clear, I was mainly referring to her use of the asynchronous, priority-based model. That combined with self-checking/adaptation and human-in-the-loop, priority displays. Most of what I read mention those specifically as her contributions. Do correct me if she didn't invent any of these or was merely the first wise enough to apply them to production systems. I like keeping the facts straight so right people get credit for building better parts of our field. :) Thanks for the Svoboda reference as I didn't know about him. His is our vanilla approach for reliability so he deserves credit. Might look up his papers.
