Days at the Morisaki Bookshop made me love books even more somehow. Real fast if you do pick it up.

Anji Kills a King. Really solid adventure, explains enough but keeps you guessing as to some of the larger shapes and structures in the world. Pretty graphic, the Glen Cook blurb is the right author for this one.

Everybody loves a fast and responsive push to changing traffic conditions until it blows up literally the whole internet lol. Glad this was useful.

It's possible that previous career experience means that I am treating this a little bit too harshly but I have worked on systems at this scale and this is a massive flashing red flag of potential problem.

And this is not something where the changes to the file were super subtle or similar. Machines just ingested it and started dying immediately. So the canary checks that would prevent this would be relatively coarse and not take particularly long to give a good signal.

One of their bullet points at the end says that they will harden their file ingestion internally. It's just wild that it's 2025 and this both hadn't bitten them yet and hadn't been flagged as a massive reliability risk. A global fast push like this with no canary is borderline negligent.

That this file was not canaried kind of blows my mind a little bit. I understand it has to get out to most of the fleet quickly but even a 5 or 10 minute 1% canary would have thrown enough signals to stop the rest of the push.

Also finished Trinity's Child. Another pretty grim warning about what a somewhat limited nuclear exchange would look like. Eternal vigilance indeed.

Hot on the heels of the above, finished The 2020 Commission. Felt unfortunately realistic even if you tone down the administration it was portraying.

Worked through Command and Control. I continue to be astonished at the fact that no nuclear weapon was ever accidentally detonated during the Cold War. The infrastructure for managing all these weapons also boggles the mind.
