  This is a very interesting story. The Theriac 25 is an early computer-controlled tumor irradiating machine, and it had some design flaws that led to patients with radiation burns and at least one death.

  A good podcast episode about it. pushkin.fm/…/captain-kirk-forgot-to-put-the-machi…

    It’s usually taught in university Computer Science studies in the ethics studies.

      Great idea. The company said they couldn’t reproduce the error, but the error was caused by an unplanned user behavior.

  Theriac + Saddam ship is not the kind of lore I ever expected to need
