Biggest product failure am I right? But seriously if they're mum about basic EV truck features, like being able to draw on the battery, I don't see cybertruck really taking off, especially since they're apparently not making money on them? I'm confused there.

How serious it is will also depend on the specific person and how serious their diabetes is.

As a T1D and occasional pump user I had no idea. You just figure they (hopefully) do enough testing to avoid this kind of poo poo. And then one day you read one day about how someone's pump emptied the entire insulin reservoir due to an error and put them into a coma.

Is there a valid reason for taking less than 1 IU of insulin? 1 IU is really low dose. Mind you, my familiarity with insulin is with pen versions only, not machine versions.

Designs of physical stuff fails from time to time, designs of software stuff fails from time to time. It is the way. Yes, but things like airplanes and elevators are supposed to be thoroughly tested for both obvious and regulatory reasons. Things slip through but given the sheer number of redundancies added they're supposed to be as reasonably safe as possible without being silly about it. Accidents WILL happen, and attempting to make things entirely accident proof paradoxically may make emergencies even easier to cause and harder to recover from at a certain point. "I usually don't test my code, but when I do I test it in production" is a bitter joke about the computing industry for a reason.

This is the sort of thing that in my job would be caught by QA and result in an email from me to the developer with the subject line "Are you loving serious?" Absolutely nothing I work on is life critical or even really terribly important. Good to know that the medical industry is held to a lower standard than my offshore development team.

Even with the best will in the world it's much harder to add redundancies to software to account for bugs than it is to add redundancies to physical systems in case of component failure, even before considering e.g. security issues. And the average gadget-manufacturing company does not have the best will in the world, or indeed any will beyond Number Go Up This Quarter. And instituting policies that make your team spend ten times as long writing the same software isn't a very good way of making Number Go Up This Quarter, no matter how likely it is to save lives. Oh, and of course, if you tried to build a suspension bridge using "engineers" you'd hired off the street without formal qualifications you'd probably go to prison. But there's no such thing as a chartered programmer, no legal requirement for programmers to hold any particular qualification no matter what they're working on, and certainly no legal responsibility for any issues. Chat-GPT can't code worth a drat on its own yet, but I'll bet there are still thousands of people copying-and-pasting directly from it into tomorrow's code for raising and lowering that suspension bridge. pumpinglemma fucked around with this message at 21:37 on Dec 1, 2023 |

Not really the thing that defines farming, is it? Farmers are responsible for us having such things as calendars and astrology, because they understood early on that there were fairly regular times when you should start sowing and so on. It's very methodological, the same events occur every year except when you get grasshoppers or raiders. Which actually were the first to use that motto!

cat botherer posted:According to some HN commenters, the FDA does mandate specific documentation and processes with critical medical software, but there's no actual verification that the design and implementation themselves are sound. Sort of. The FDA does not independently test your device, they look at the documentation you provide with your submission. There is an assumption that you are not just completely fabricating things. Every device is required to have a requirement specification written up, and some verification method and evidence for it. Generally, this will be multiple level of documents where you have some high level system requirements that get traced down to lower level documents (e.g. "The system must do X" in a system doc being traced to "The software must do Y" and "The hardware must do Z" in HW/SW requirement docs, then those tracing to specific verification tests in test protocols). When you submit, the FDA will review all that documentation and decide if its adequate. This is not a rubberstamp, it is unusual for there to be no rounds of questions/conversation during submission and review. There are also different classifications of devices based on risk, and the level of detail in requirements/test traceability and scrutiny will vary with that (a ventilator [class III] will get more review than an insulin pump [class II], and an insulin pump will get more review than a hospital bed [class I]). (Review for changes to an already approved device is also generally less than initial review) e: US also generally does a more rigorous review than Europe. It is historically easier to get something on the market in Europe. That is changing in the last few years, EU has introduced more FDA-like requirements.
