This is why you create a failure and effects model with formal dependencies graph, conduct a Monte Carlo failure analysis and religiously perform root cause analysis and part maintenance failure analysis.
Boeing used to be good at this.

By definition whatever happened is unlikely. If it wasn't planes would crash every day. Reasoning about such low probability events is extremely difficult, in part because the number of possible but equally low probability causes is huge.

Just remember to purge your respirator interior BEFORE you inhale once you have re-donned your respirator.

There is a way to safely remove a mask for facial ID.
If you have any scuba experience it's the same set of skills as dropping and reclaiming your reg or mask.
If not, it's a skill you can learn and practice.

Makes Ubuntu installer look super polished.
So no network & glass tty, how exactly are you expected to render the url? Are you even out of single user mode yet?
Oh I get it, bring net up by hand, curl the URL & read the HTML raw in ed(1). Maybe vi if you are lucky.
Or use you your phone, lol.

As another poster so clearly demonstrated, most people can't seperate
1. AI as subdiscipline of computer science with numerous valid techniques
from
2. AI as product marketing being shoved down their throats to keep the tech sector stock price bubble going
It's worse than the .com bubble.

Likely.
GenAI unsupervised learning marketing is salting the earth for the entire AI field.
The arms race to nowhere shows no sign of letting up.
The coming AI winter when the bubble bursts will probably exceed last time.
Highly useful techniques risk getting caught in the undertow

"safety critical" means critical of the concept of safety, right?

this actually ties in really interestingly to what ML can and can't do: "out of set recognition", or "I know I don't know what that is but I'm going to respond intelligently to it nonetheless" is one of the big unsolved problems in ML and related to e.g. confident confabulation in LLMs

One of the best analytical frameworks I have read (and extensively used) for where & how much to use agile techniques. And when not to use them
It puts forward a multidimensional assessment model with many case studies.
One key dimension: safety criticality

I saw a random piece on the news from Korea and some famous kids completing their military service.
The vast majority of the packed together audience had good masks on.
