@jaz@toot.wales In nearly every circumstance where a computer under my control has "made a mistake", a human-generated mistake has been the root cause.
Often I see the source of that human-generated mistake looking at me in the mirror.
In the rare instance that it's the machine, it's a hardware fault like a failing DRAM module.
The teacher is right though when he says the computer will replicate that mistakes many times over. Computers are good at repetition, good and bad repetition alike.

@stuartl@mastodon.longlandclan.id.au We will all come to miss deterministic repetition of error...
