On: How to build something that lasts 10k years

I agree if it has to be hardware, otherwise you just build software.

Software is probably the worst example of something long lasting. You need the entire environment that it's designed to run in for it to be useful at all. Even trying to run software from 30 years ago is only easy where we've intentionally preserved or recreated the tools to run it, eg emulators or virtual machines.
