2025-10-21 17:08:21 +0000 UTCThat's interesting I don't think I'd heard of that. I think I his relates to tk's comment about singular failure point vs robust, "anti fragile" systems. As a general rule of thumb you can tell something's strength and endurance by its age. Everything humanity has built technologically is untested by time at that scale

2025-09-28 23:08:01 +0000 UTCIt's kind of crazy thinking about the scenario here where the internet gets turned off when there's a far more permanent scenario that's interely possible and could happen any time. If you've ever heard of the carrington event back in the 1800s it was the most powerful solar flare in recorded history, but people didn't notice the technological effects all that much since there weren't really even electrical grids anywhere. The only effects really were on telegram communications. In 2012 there was a similarly powerful solar flare released from the sun that happened to miss the earth by a margin of roughly nine days. It makes you think even with how powerful and seemingly immortal for example the uis in this world are that a similar event would probably wipe out the technology allowing for their existence and cause huge global effects reverting technology by several decades. The only solution for uis and such would be housing themselves far underground or in lead lined vaults which in the current time of the show is not the case. Just brings to mind the awe inspiring power of nature even when compared the most amazing technological achievements possible for man to create.

2025-09-28 14:27:02 +0000 UTCThe idea of sheer potential via a singular failure point vs. a multi-nodal, solid foundation is really interesting to me because I recently played through Poly-Bridge, a very cute game about constructing bridges to cross increasingly complex obstacles, and I feel like the same axioms you learn through sheer trial and error in the game apply more broadly to all manner of systems in general, too. I found that the most optimized bridge for sheer structural integrity was actually much the same as the most rickety, duct-taped together bridges that you built for the singular purpose of the very specific task that level requires, it's just that the former bridge's singular purpose was structural integrity/crossing that one gap, if that makes sense. As soon as you tried to get it to do anything else, it broke apart like matchsticks, even if it could sustain incredible loads otherwise. After a while, I found that the most cost-efficient and most *reliable* way to approach *any* level was to build a bridge that had elements of that strong foundation, but had room for adjustment/improvement, and could rely on that foundation without being dependent on it. So, even if something broke in the experimental, crazy attempt to solve a challenge, you could pin-point that failure point without everything collapsing in on itself. And it's strange, because much like people dream of Tetris after playing it, I feel that those core patterns I learned in Poly-bridge keep recurring themselves in a lot of what I see around me. As always, the perfect balance seems to be somewhere in the middle. You need a strong support for innovation, but you also want one that doesn't tie it down.

2025-09-28 14:04:13 +0000 UTCTo be fair to Joey, and maybe that just got lost in episode 8 during her intro but she admitted to having a phobia of large crowds, it's why she thrives in empty space, literally. In many ways being on earth of billions of people was already killing her psychologically based on her confession to her husband on why she was so dead set on this.
