It is really the only safe way to use it IMHO. Even in most simple forms of automation, humans suffer from Automation Bias and Complacency and one of the better ways to avoid those issues is to instill a fundamental mistrust of those system

FYI, while these block level methods do have a use case, parallel rsync and other file level tools are far safer and often faster with less additional load on the disk. Duplicating the OS/FS behavior hits the decidable problem and you

No, the inference they have isn't reliable enough to predict anything except with broad groups. Swerving to avoid road debris or hard braking to avoid a deer as examples of what have cost commercial drivers jobs. Look at the CDL world

All I can offer without going into the weeds is that it is not the shape of the paths, but mearly the relative length of two paths though spacetime that matters. Proper time and proper acceleration is possibly a pathway in flat spacetime? L

The twin paradox holds in a Pacman universe where there is no change in direction. The main issue with the twin paradox is that it demonstrates where our euclidian intuition fails us. There are several interpretations on how to resolve it,

Vec4 is a vector, but yes C++ base vec is not. In some ways CS is more correct with the modern (abstract) algebra definition of a vector, vs the historical didactics arrow concept. Tensor has been abused, it is a property of bilinear maps,

Not really related to the above post, but one thing I am not seeing on an initial pass is the advancement of understanding of problems like riddled or wada basins. Especially with time delays this and 3+ attractors this can be problematic.
