Re:Radiation-hardened Quine: A quine that works after any on... by javajosh on Friday June 02, 2023 @05:26PM (#36170958)
Well, physically, you really need three independent machines. Which means three copies of the file, three processes, three verifications, and so on, and a way for those processes to communicate with each other and "vote". Then you run into the problem of definition - is a cluster a quine? Note that most of the "primordial bit flip" problems go away if you make N >> 3 and design each machine to "fail fast".
