I love this paragraph from DDIA. This book is slow reading because I have so many points where I just have to stop and think.

It is tempting to label such problems as "human error" and to wish that they could be solved by better controlling human behavior through tighter procedures and compliance with rules. However, blaming people for mistakes is counterproductive. What we call "human error" is not really the cause of an incident, but rather a symptom of a problem with the sociotechnical system in which people are trying their best to do their jobs. Often complex systems have emergent behavior, in which unexpected interactions between components may also lead to failures

$CSCO took about 25 years to find their dotcom crash high only to blow right through it in similar fashion to ~2000. 🎉

Got my Reachy last night, up and running and passed a few basic tests. Assembly took about 2-3 hours as advertised. Camera seems very dark I’m wondering if it’ll be able to do facial recognition. The hand following app worked ok though. @hf.co

Good news! If you bought $CSCO in May 2000, you’re in the black!

If you haven’t discovered NotebookLM, you should. It’s an amazing tool for summarizing and analyzing large documents. I love the footnote feature that allows you to easily cross check the answers.

I don't want to turn into one of those meme-reposting machines but then I read things like this and the meme seems completely accurate. techthings.cmail20.com/t/d-e-sjrttn...

There's definitely a lot of this going on now.
