- heisenbitMaybe we should pay the ones that put in the work and leverage their experience to judge the quality which would be the reviewers. In this age of disintermediation journals add little value in providing infrastructure or paying (if at all) reviewers and that money is in any case mostly public money.

- Buying may be possible but when will you get it?
- If the deployment was related to the React Server issue then maybe it was unavoidable.
- If you have to grade essays and you give students more time you have to spend more time on grading - taking away time from preparing lessons and supporting students individually.
- I suspect client developers are also affected at least to the extent that they need to explain this RCE to CVE driven management.
- There is a lot of society level knowledge and education around car usage incl. laws requiring prior training. Agents directed by AI are relatively new. It took a lot of targeted technical, law enforcement and educational effort stopping people flying through windshields.
- And running loads long term profitable may require both lower power use as well as longer chip lifetimes - something associated with lower power use.
- It used to but Oracle‘s licensing and probably more important security guidelines from the very top linking CVE scores to mandatory updates got things moving on the last years.
- The discussions shifts across the board but it takes time to shift due to momentum. The EU has many nations and many more companies all making strategic purchasing decisions. US dependence skeptics belittled earlier have now concrete examples and more weight. The shift can already observed in weapons system purchasing but won‘t be limited to those. For better or worse the US has lost its position of trust and is sadly working on cementing distrust for the next decades.

- Parking violations can affect handicaped people. Also parking and halting restrictions at least in Germany are often motivated by safety concerns. If you get injured in an accident made more likely by a parking violation you may feel different.
- Competing with your customers can be a risky strategy for a platform provider. If the platform abandons the neutral stance its customers will be a lot more open to alternatives.

- Way back around ‘84 in the military I was doing the artillery survey calculations for the Lance (potentially nuclear) missile. We had to store first the program into the volatile hp memory, run check calculations before doing the real calculations. I always found the calculations very efficient - they had to be as they had to be done within certain time limits (and independently checked). It was a strange feeling thinking about doing the calculations under high pressure and what the stakes were if you would get the coordinates or directions wrong in case it would be used.
- It is a question of probability and effort. My personal estimation rule for my type of projects is it takes 3 times longer from my prototype to something I‘m comfortable having others use it and another factor to get to an early resemblance of a product. A recent interview I read an AI expert said each 9 in terms of error probability is the same effort.
Most software written does not serve a serious nation level user base but caters to so a relatively small set of users. The effort spent eradicating errors needs to be justified by the effort of workarounds, remediation work and customer impact. Will not be fixed can a rationale decision.
