    still hung up on the idea of "mineral evolution" i first read about last year https://hazen.carnegiescience.edu/research/mineral-evolution

    Has anyone used Honeycomb recently? I'd love to hear how it went for you!

    junosz,

    @isntitvacant awesome, ty! is there anything you would think about differently if you were to use it in your new wasm world?

    Reading this from Ecological Complexity: “The adaptive cycle: More than a metaphor” and wondering if you have favorite non-metaphorical perspectives on measuring adaptive capacity in organizations and networks?

    junosz,

    @christina @mariafarrell @robin @Valdis @dajb @ntnsndr @RuthMalan two very different leads:

    1. "dynamic capabilities" model in business theory by Teece et al https://www.davidjteece.com/dynamic-capabilities

    2. Zurn and Bassett's work on curiosity eg https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/27538699231168079

    junosz,

    @christina @mariafarrell @robin @Valdis @dajb @ntnsndr @RuthMalan one of the things I really like about the Zurn and Bassett paper I linked is

    junosz,

    @robin @christina @mariafarrell @Valdis @dajb @ntnsndr @RuthMalan Bassett's work goes into a lot of network science, so markov blankets a la Friston could easily be applied, in a formal sense, to curiosity networks / knowledge graphs. A lot of this is adjacent to the central Complex Adaptive Systems literature, so there's natural connections, but not necessarily in a "grand unifying insight" sense. "Adaptive Capacity" depends in my view on model constructs

    junosz,

    @lzg there's a lot of unexamined proprietarian ideology behind some of that bad politics (which i think you're gesturing at, but i could be imagining it), which quickly verges into dominionist and exploitive relations that just get us right back here

    Fragility of complex systems - leads?

    I'm curious to widen my net wrt the different ways that complex systems can be fragile (versus robust). Any leads on good things to read?

    To plant some seeds of different slices through it:

    Adaptive systems (like ecosystems) tend to incorporate feedback. Fragility happens when a small change (eg in one node) leads to a catastrophe. These networks become more fragile as they increase in size:
    https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-58440-6

    It's really hard to engineer a complex system that is robust to catastrophic failures. For example, the 2003 NE US blackout happened when I single power line fell into a tree.
    (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northeast_blackout_of_2003)

    Discussion of fragility is peppered all over. eg, here is an example of of it related to managing healthcare systems:
    https://journals.lww.com/jonajournal/citation/2014/12000/handle_with_care__the_fragile_nature_of_complex.5.aspx

    As these examples reflect, I'm really curious to learn about anything!

    junosz,

    @NicoleCRust @codicil seconding the industrial safety lit! See David Woods. I'd love to see more expressly trans-disciplinary work here looking at systems more abstractly. @DrYohanJohn's Proxy Failure paper comes to mind https://www.researchgate.net/publication/371866602_Dead_rats_dopamine_performance_metrics_and_peacock_tails_proxy_failure_is_an_inherent_risk_in_goal-oriented_systems Fragility is related to notions of rigidity, constraint, and open/closedness.

    @lzg most of the questions have no good options! very realistic

    An earnest question: why haven't operating systems (or their filesystems) added fast paths for bulk directory+content creation? That is, for untar/unzip?

    As I understand it the bulk creation of a directory structure and underlying content involves a lot of ~expensive roundtrips from userspace into the kernel – akin to OpenGL's original immediate mode.

    I suppose no one is trying to render directory structures to disk inside a 60fps frame budget, but...

    junosz,

    @isntitvacant good question - cc @ricci @dev ?

    junosz,

    @isntitvacant package managers are a pretty good stress test application, but lots of other applications use similar data intensive operations. maybe a better question than "why haven't kernels changed" is "why haven't software development workflows moved to non-fs archives" and i mean this as a generative line of inquiry, not a rhetorical gotcha. some have! and there are good reasons to want to use the fs as a common interface for pluggable tools. and considerable switching cost, etc.

    junosz,

    @dev @isntitvacant @ricci dev, this is the package manager stress test application i mentioned a few months ago when you were asking for load examples :) think not hundreds, but sometimes tens of thousands of files, for various historically contingent reasons :) :) :) (hostage "save me" face :) :) :)

    I feel like I'm missing something obvious. Someone with a better view than me of : why have mainstream programming languages never developed unit-of-measure typing?

    I know there are some libraries for it in various language ecosystems, and iirc F# has some notion of units. Surely other research languages have it. It seems like something you'd want at compile-time.

    What's the deal here?
