My favorite quote of Habermas ist about Luhmann’s[1] theory: "It‘s all wrong, but it‘s got quality".

I like Luhmann’s theory better. What i like about it is that Luhmann argues that the smallest denominator of a social system is a realation between two. Habermas says it can be brought down to an individual. Which in my mind defeats the “social” part.

Havin not read the underlying theory, is the society of one constructed with the belief that one has relations to one's self?

That is, I could see that the idea of a society of two could be derived from a society of one in that I could extend my desire to be kind to my past, present, and future selves, to a desire to be kind to selves that are not my own.

Kind of like a computing network being a generalisation of the network that exists inside anyone one machine in that networking is just i/o with more steps and more wire?

Where exactly in Habermas is such an idea expressed?

I‘ll save you several clicks: if you login to Tumblr (because it seems they don‘t show posts openly anymore), you‘ll get an ad for an AI company.

Are you sure you actually logged into tumblr and didn’t just put your login information into a phishing thing?

And there was a real cliff in recording time, not a marginal difference: a normal VHS tape could record a typical TV show, a normal Betamax tape could not. The utility function is a step function here.

(Both got more recording times through Long Play techniques a.k.a. quality degradation and through actually longer magnetic tape in the cassette, but at least in the beginning it was clear-cut).

I love Boskoop, and they are thankfully still all over German supermarkets. If not, Holstein Cox will do, and if they have it, Elstar.

The real good ones, like Berlepsch, are hard to find here, though, unless you travel to a plantation.

Also love Boskoop, but I feel like they can be more difficult to find than other Apples in German supermarkets.

Any other Apple variety just feels not nearly as juice and regularly too sweet for my taste - especially when you want to use them for baking.

+1 on Boskoop. But also Cox Orange and James Grief

Because Ted Gioia is a musician, not a programmer.

Got it, yeah I see that now

IEC 61508 estimates a soft error rate of about 700 to 1200 FIT (Failure in Time, i.e. 1E-9 failures/hour).

That was in the 2000s though, and for embedded memory above 65nm. I would expect smaller sizes to be more error-prone.

Mark Pilgrim! Now that‘s a name I haven‘t read in a long time.
