Flakes = combine explicit refs to deps as well as a build description for anything you're making (which can be a lib, app, or entire machine). IMO if you're starting now, use this. Channel = group of named deps. 'Traditional&

QA is focused on testing a product or system against how it should work. Security analysis tests against how it shouldn't. The second of those is a much larger search space. Both are important. The argument around blame shifting is apt

The suitable lossy-ness (of any compression method) is entirely dependant on context. There is no one size fits all approach for all uses cases. One key item with emerging 'AI compression' techniques is the information loss is not
