Robust-first computing: Beyond efficiency
Dave Ackley
Dave Ackley gives a high-level introduction to robust-first computing, which prioritizes robustness over efficiency in computer architecture. A sorting demo illustrates the idea.
HN recommends it as a short, clear explanation of robust-first computing by its originator, and as a philosophy relevant to building with unreliable components like LLMs.
