Having a railroad functional enough for military purposes is easy enough: get the rails hooked up. Put soldiers at switches to flip them, use radio for coordination. For high speed high frequency passenger travel it's more complicated:

Isn't this game with the given conflict resolution rules just broken? But forcing conflicts feels like a way to cause a game to become a draw. Imagine I move my queen next to the opponent's king (with no defense). My opponent&#x27

I presume the first two bullet points felt obvious enough to not bother stating: of course you fix the code that crashed. The architectural changes are the more interesting bits, and they're covered reasonably well. Your third point ca

This feels natural, though: the first time you do something you do it 10x more slowly because there's a lot more risk. Continuing to do things like that forever isn't realistic. Complacency is a double-edged sword: sometimes it ge

The content validator is a form of validation done in CI. Their CD pipeline is the bigger problem here: it was extremely reckless given the system it was used in (configuring millions of customer machines in unknown environments). A CD pipe

No matter what sort of static validation they attempt, they're still risking other unanticipated effects. They could stumble upon a bug in the OS or some driver, they could cause false positives, they could trigger logspew or other e

The article demonstrated that skill / correct process is not sufficient for success. However, for making estimates of future results, looking at the process to gain insights into the EV rather than looking at past results can be more f

It's not so hard to do static and tracing-based analysis to capture all the calls that various systems make between themselves. Similarly, it's not so hard to graph all of the metrics of a system. That's not really all that u

So this actually sounds like a realistic approach at managing the dangers of AI. It ensures that people have some sort of recourse against algorithms deciding to make their life miserable. This feels like an extension of similar approaches

That's an insinuation, not an accusation of anything specific at all. There are lots of reasons that in that particular year neonicotinoids were under-represented at the conference. The article basically presents one possible hand-wavy

Moving states requires validating the information from the previous state too. It's not a matter of the new state just updating an entry in its database. It's an entirely new entry. Given that, in person validation makes sense. Mo

No. Every system can fail. Manual systems fail too (people aren't perfect). Having an automated system there for most of the time when it's more likely to do the right thing than a human is still good for the overall reliability o

I'm trying to figure out how you switch "into" thread-local prng mode after a call to srand. Case 1: T1: srand(); rng(); rng() T2: no calls to rng Case 2: T1: srand(); T2: (spawns after the srand call) rng(); rng() How would

I think the point is that the library probably should assume that if you called `Rand.seed` and/or `srand` it's because you intended to get a specific sequence of random numbers out of it.

There's a fixed cost and another cost that scales with usage. For instance, the California E-1 rate (non-time-of-use) is about 42 cents per kwh. Of that, 25 cents is transmission (long distance lines) and distribution (local lines), an

obviously there's some amount of validation that happens at each step. The question is just how much you do when, and how that affects when issues get discovered.

More likely it'll lead to more red tape and shuttering those programs down and making them useless. They know that they make life-altering mistakes all the time. The nature of 1-in-a-million ensures that they're inevitable. Preven

This feels like the wrong conclusion in an adversarial game. Such a heuristic works only because it's not done at any reasonable rate. As soon as it gets applied nontrivially you'll see scammers adapt back to ports 80/443. An
