I love the fact that switching out a failing SSD just involved formatting the new SSD, copying the files over via `rsync`, powering off the computer, and swapping the new SSD in for the old one. I did have to make a minor tweak to the `fstab` because I decided to go with XFS, but the down time for the computer was only for as long as it took me to get the SSD swapped in.

Beyond Copenhagen: Following the Trail of Decoherence in Feynman's Light Microscope
Feynman's light microscope invites us to reconsider what we thought we knew about quantum reality. Rather than invoking wavefunction collapse to predict the loss of fringes in a monitored interferometer, Feynman analyzes the problem in terms of a disturbance. This approach raises the question of whether the classical world, including its localized particles and definite measurement outcomes, might emerge as the universe evolves smoothly according to ß. Treating the particle and its environment…

Self-Stabilizing Replicated State Machine Coping with Byzantine and Recurring Transient Faults
The ability to perform repeated Byzantine agreement lies at the heart of important applications such as blockchain price oracles or replicated state machines. Any such protocol requires the following properties: (1) \textit{Byzantine fault-tolerance}, because not all participants can be assumed to be honest, (2) r\textit{ecurrent transient fault-tolerance}, because even honest participants may be subject to transient ``glitches'', (3) \textit{accuracy}, because the results of quantitative queri…

Do the rich pay their fair share? Enumerating the price of flying (and abolishing) premium air travel
Premium air travel is often associated with a disproportionately large carbon emissions footprint. This association reflects the increased space and amenities typically found in premium cabins that existing discourse suggests makes their carriage more fuel, and consequently carbon, intensive. One increasingly popular solution is disincentivizing the use of premium cabins in favor of all-economy cabins. How effective might such a policy be. To what extent. And how may the revenue impact affect t…
