Surely Dyson is (should be!) better known for his role in establishing the theory of Quantum Electrodynamics.
BTW, here's an excellent book, for those interested in the history of this science. http://www.amazon.com/Selected-Papers-Quantum-Electrodynamic...

"I don't know the meaning of the symbols on the chalkboard. Whatever it is, I bet it's wrong."
Those symbols demonstrate empirical knowledge of the relationship between baryons, their masses, and their quantum numbers. It's not wrong in any sense, other than the underlying order wasn't yet understood.
cf The Baryon Octet. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eightfold_Way_(physics)

And not a very well-written one, at that.

isn't the raison d'etre of foundations such as Apache to see to it that this sort of thing doesn't happen to its products?

You can listen to collisions at the LHC!

Of course these collisions don't actually make sound, these are "sonifications" of data recorded by the ATLAS detector, for some interesting events.

I was suicidal in Silicon Valley, having just been fired from my dream job at Stanford.
I'm still alive, and I'm glad that I am. My life is still pretty wretched, but my perspective is different. My misery isn't any less, but I'm out from under it. It's no longer crushing me and I can observe my misery with some detachment now.
I hope that you manage to get out from under your misery. Don't let it crush you.
Thinking of family and friends may be related to the distress that our friend finds unbearable.
I've been suicidal. Thinking of friends and family helps keep me alive. But everyone's not like me.

Maybe the purpose of the F-35 project is to con the Chinese into building shitty fighters, too?

It's all very nice. But this made me throw up a little. "With a functional programming implementation, it’s hard to imagine how a bug (other than a typo) might even be introduced."
