«Theoretical tools are now often software, whose complexity makes its behavior inscrutable to its users and puts them at risk of losing their tools to software collapse. Scientific instruments increasingly rely on built-in computers that create exactly the same issues. Finally, digital technology has enabled industrial-scale production of data, e.g. in DNA sequencing, and that technology is itself not convivial either.» Great reflections on conviviality by @khinsen@scholar.social https://blog.khinsen.net/posts/2026/07/06/conviviality.html
