Efficiency is the removal of redundancy. Redundancy is a necessary element of resilient systems. The unbounded search for efficiency has one result: brittleness.
@ekuber Preach!
By and large, the motivation for efficiency to maximize the amount that can be extracted from that step of the process; the brittleness and fragility of the machine upon which everyone's lives depend has been put in so people get rich as much as possible. (It's not even "get rich", it's "as much as possible" or maybe "as soon as possible" if you can tell those apart.)
If we want to live through the time of angry weather, we're going to agree that nobody is or gets rich.

@ekuber This is a wonderfully concise phrasing of something I regularly wave my arms and froth about when talking to people about this stuff. Thank you!

@ekuber Yep, I like this French regulation that requires displaying all this information. We always make a deliberate choice of buying seasonal products that are produced locally, even if they're more expensive.

@ekuber @janl "how infrastructure works" has a great paragraph about this too https://chaos.social/@mrtazz/111844063360502168

@ekuber that is so nicely framed. @wendynather

One thing I keep seeing is the same lessons being learned across different disciplines: pilots and doctors learning about the importance of checklists, road and industrial machine engineers learning about safe by default design, industrial and software UX designers learning about how to best make machines and humans talk to each other. We need more cross pollination. Across industries. Across borders. Across people. That's how we build a better future. And for that we need to listen.

Are you familiar with the Resilience Engineering Association? If not, I have a real treat for you. -

There's a book on this theme by Tom DeMarco, _Slack_. The general idea is that complete optimization causes fragility; to be robust requires slack to handle emergencies, and to innovate.
A bit old now -- from 2001 -- but we still haven't learned the lesson, so...

If I'd written a(nother) book it would have been called "Failure Modes". They repeat. -

@ekuber Don't forget to include those in the arts. We are able to think beyond the various professional boxes to literally see bigger pictures.

@TheWolfOfSouthEnd it barely has room for stuff, and no mirror above the sink.

Mettete il fottuto tag delle olimpiadi ai vostri cazzo di toot.
Ripeto: mettete il fottuto tag delle olimpiadi ai vostri cazzo di toot.Altrimenti non riesco a filtrarvi e poi il prete si fa il segno della croce quando mi incontra.
