The first two risks are only unchanged for a demonstration that was not announced to japan, and IMO a demonstration of a nuclear bomb without telling Japan to observe it would not have been effective.
After the bombing of Hiroshima, Suzuki stated to the press that Japan would not surrender, which suggests to me that bombing the middle of nowhere as a demonstration would probably not have persuaded the Japanese government to surrender. Why would a non military demonstration have been more impactful than bombing a city?
It seems like this is basically unavoidable on existing hardware, though, right?
if we imagine there existed some visualization that could more accurately represent the complexity of a core, I don’t know how it would be possible to get the data, because AFAIK there are no methods to trace processor execution for modern processors at higher fidelity than this.
even sampling profilers have similar issues with being limited to the model of sequential instruction streams, since each sample gives a single program counter, not the full view of everything the core has in flight.
Is it just the normal difference between e.g. an engineer's approach to real analysis and a mathematicians (but complex analysis swapped in), or something else?
I can think of a lot of fields where a decent grasp of complex analysis concepts would be very helpful even without being able to do rigorous proofs.
