I rely a lot on bird calls / songs to identify birds, but mockingbirds are really confusing there. I use a bird ID app when I can't recognize the calls. I saw a mockingbird and decided to record it: the app pinged for four other species besides the mockingbird (including two simultaneously??) as I stood there watching it

@johnabs I think there is something to be gained from building new systems using languages that rule out certain classes of bug, but I wouldn't make rewriting software for fielded systems that have operated for decades my starting position if I were auditing a system for security and reliability.
@lucifargundam @niconiconi IDK if it saves time, but agreed otherwise
@johnabs depends on your def of safety. and "cyber infrastructure". also, maybe they "seek" it, but do they "find" safety?

I recently started using an AI-based software that enables my team to get more science out of my days on Mars.
Now, I can target interesting rocks and zap them with my SuperCam laser for my team to analyze later. https://twitter.com/nasajpl/status/1531740543977345024
