Damn, I wonder if "control center" is just a bunch of software, not very reliable then!

I always thought there is a system of rail signals which should prevent accidents like this always in place, like dividing railroad into sections, turn on red light if the next section is occupied, yellow before that and so on...

Did it fail somehow which lead to this accident? I think such systems must be redundant enough to survive even without power/computers?

DNS block is really the most lazy and easily bypassable type of block you can imagine.

It is like blocking something with a gate which you can open by reaching a latch on the other side with your hand

Only the freaking politician can attempt to block something via DNS ;)

Even if we accept your risk-benefit framework, it doesnt follow that banning something improves overall welfare.

Prohibition has costs of its own: black markets, organised crime, unsafe products, enforcement expenses and incarceration.

You acknowledge that alcohol has social benefits, but apparently heroin doesnt. Why? Because alcohol facilitates socialisation? Because its culturally accepted? Who gets to determine the "prosocial value" of an activity? Almost any unhealthy behavior can be framed as a societal cost.

Theres an enormous amount of subjectivity here. Some people genuinely enjoy recreational drug use. Others enjoy gambling, despite knowing they will probably lose money.

You are arguing that the state should determine which activities are permissible based on their net social utility. Im arguing that danger alone should not give the state a right to prohibit consenting adults from engaging in any activity. Individual autonomy has value in itself, including the freedom to make decisions that are objectively bad for oneself.

Great news! Now just waiting for "No more liquid glass in every menu by default" and I would consider migrating from Sequoia

>Should we legalize heroin and legalize advertising heroin on TV?

Im always amused by this line of thought, should we make alcohol illegal then and ban advertising it on tv? What about soda with too much sugar? Should we, perhaps, ban everything which is addictive and causes any harm?

I don't think too much of an insight is needed to understand that most of them 30000 code changes per day is just going around in circles, agent A introducing some kind of new abstraction, agent B finding and refactoring that abstraction, agent C figuring out that refactored abstraction introduced regressions, fixing and creating new tests for an abstraction, agent D finding out new abstraction was not needed in the first place and cleaning it up. Management s ecstatic seeing 4 merged PRs – time to make a blog post about merges per day growing more than tenfold.

>We do 25 gazillion code checkouts per day and we merge 30 trillizillion code changes per day because we have 10 megazilion agents working on TEN MILLION projects at the same time in a 100 PETABYTE monorepo. Git is just not enough for us...

Typical anthropic post.

This very well illustrates an inherent property of distributed systems – resilience.

Turns out digital sovereignty is a bad idea in terms of state security.

Don't put all eggs into one basket they told ya!

I don't think it's correct to call the economics basics racism. It's not like they are paying differently based on race, they do it based on the demand and availability of supply.

Just move to US, luckily this is a matter of two clicks on the internet

I have just one question: if they have millions of agents working on the same codebase at the same time, why the heck they can't just build the next Git platform on Cloudflare?

For sure, there is also the best security approach – just turn the damn thing off, which they also practice quite often. POS terminals turn into bricks, apps turn into splash screens, businesses loose ton of money, all of this this is just a minor nuisance for an ordinary russian citizen.
