Just call it "Murphys Law of Large Numbers": The higher your scale, the faster it will fail.

Just call it "Murphys Law of Large Numbers":
The higher your scale, the faster it will fail.
- jodrellblank 6y agoWe (humans) run on some 37 Trillion cells and don’t fail very often compared to computers; blue whales scaled for size could have ten quadrillion cells and they don’t get cancer. Maybe its not a law of large numbers, but one of medium numbers (in the sense of Dawkin’s Middle World is human scale or Ron Graham speculating that maybe all the most interesting math is in the very large numbers we can’t work with)
- slightwinder 6y agoWe fail all the time. We get illover every silly thing, develop cancer, break down little by little over time. It's just that we evolved to handle this better than a artificial designed high spec-machine which was primary optimised for low budget.
