alecmFormer Linux kernel engineer Alan Cox weighs in on computer-data-as-evidence given the sketchy reliability of data-at-scale
Nice to see Alan sticking his oar back into the public discourse, below; I’ve been too occupied to muse on the bigger picture of the Post Office/Horizon scandal, but in a world of bitflips from cosmic-ray events (not to mention as Alan does: malware) perhaps the law needs to stop relying on data which lacks a chain of proof of integrity and correctness?
One spreadsheet cell isn’t evidence, it’s an anecdote?
Research papers from Google (Cores That Don’t Count) and Facebook (Silent Data Corruptions at Scale), as well as a perusal of published errata documents, show that we should question very hard whether assuming a computer is reliable is a fit assumption for a criminal conviction, unless backed up by other evidence such as logs, audit trails and good evidence of internal self-checking within the software.

Linux (ou “Linux”) para micros de 8 e 16 bits! - Retrópolis
O barbudo aí do lado -- que por muitos anos foi o principal desenvolvedor do kernel do Linux, abaixo apenas do Linus Torvalds -- é criador de dois sistemas operacionais estilo Unix para micros clássicos (ou velhos) que estão sendo atualizados ativamente nos dias de hoje: ELKS (para micros movidos a Intel 8086/8088, como os
