We'll never know, but I wonder if the government had said, "masks are good, but please PLEASE do not try to buy them. the government is purchasing what supply we have to save our doctors." Perhaps with the honesty, the medical professionals would have gotten the supplies they needed AND we would have less distrust in US healthcare institutions. The public trust that was lost from that first lie is significant, and I believe it hampers vaccination efforts to this day.

That’s not really a fair way to evaluate contracts for fairness and ethical conduct. Not only does the contract have the obligation to be clear (and let’s be blunt the people that do this are often not trying to be clear about what they are doing) it also needs to meet basic standards of reasonableness.

Specifically, to the extent that a contract diverges sharply from the general understanding each party has about how the world works, the more the drafting party has an obligation to clearly call out the terms in a manner commensurate with the importance of the contract term.

Legal documents aren’t software code, it’s a classic mental error developers make when discussing them. They are evaluated by humans.

For example, it would not be reasonable to have a single sentence buried in the middle of a 20 page SaaS contract that obligated you to purchase cat food, or signed away the rights to your apartment. Wouldn’t matter how plainly worded the sentence was and if it was duly signed. You’d still have to convince a judge that was a reasonable thing to do. Good luck with that. And regardless of legality it’s obviously not ethical it’s a trick, intended to be deceptive.

Obviously there’s subtlety to this and the exact details matter. But that’s my point. You can’t just fall back on the idea that anything you get someone to agree to isn’t a dark pattern.

The whole point of dark patterns as a concept is that you’re tricking people into agreeing to unreasonable things.
That would have been fun if the DAO won, just to see how it played out. I suppose $41m is pocket change to some people.
I’ve run into this “file not found” error a couple of times, and it feels kind of mind bending because it initially seems impossible

I've seen this error often enough to know that if you're doing anything with execution, "file not found" = "the file, or one of its dependencies, was not found". On the other hand, "file not found" on an open() call when you seem to see that it exists --- which I have actually seen --- should take you down a different path of troubleshooting, such as making sure you're in the right path and on the right machine.
Vaccinated vs. Unvaccinated: Europe’s Covid Culture War
Which defeats the purpose of the entire effort to involve the blockchain in the first place…
Split it up into its constituent words, and it becomes easier to make sense of:

how do you ensure that someone stores the data for at least as long as the item? are they making regular storage payments?
That's very optimistic.
The common comparison is used to say “it’s not so bad - it’s just like the flu!”.

You can compare anything you want (e.g. COVID and Cancer outcomes), but to say COVID isn’t so bad because lung cancer doesn’t kill that many people every year is a bad logical fallacy.

The Flu has a vaccination, it’s got natural immunity, and we have a good understanding of it. COVID was brutal even with social distancing measures (where the flu was greatly reduced by the measures last year), so I’m not quite sure what the takeaway is from the comparison.
Still vaccinating in select areas. In 2007 deployed to the Republic of Korea and was vaccinated.

It sucked and that was just a baby version…
The way in which I think about it is that "learning" (in humans) often occurs is in the form of heuristics - certain rules or shortcuts which are not guaranteed to be optimal, but do a good job at simplifying (the search-state of) the problem. Instead of trying many simple comparisons between legal moves, we instead use a heuristic to score them.

Non-NN chess engines are really all about doing a good job at balancing these heuristics (like it says above). There's fundamentally an upper bound in how good the overall approach can be, simply because the underlying heuristics are defined and selected by humans: there could be many more heuristics that haven't been considered. This version of "learning" is really just removing human forced constraints which were introduced to help learning, by starting from a position without bias.
>Ethers can form highly reactive (i.e. explosive) organic peroxides when exposed to oxygen, especially over a long period -- for example, when a half-empty bottle is left on a shelf for a few years.

Yeah that's the point. That's why they sell it in cans at Walmart. As long as you're already expecting to handle flammables it's not really a big deal. It's only about twice (in my observation having dicked around with both) as spicy as gasoline.

I’ll pick on this one point. Software quality is infinitely better than it was in years past. My phone has an uptime more than windows 95´s theoretic maximum of 49.7 days. I never made it anywhere close to that because of crashes and bsod. Word crashing was a frequent experience. We all just knew to save constantly and reflexively.

Phones have uptimes larger than old conservative Unix workhorses
Google's Next $1T Opportunity: Sundar Pichai Interview
The original DAO “hack” was reversed by censorship: https://www.gemini.com/cryptopedia/the-dao-hack-makerdao

I put “hack” in quotes because at the time the community loudly was proclaiming “code is law” and if you accept that the person accused of hacking didn’t break any “laws” of the DAO…he simply used it according to the code published in the smart contract. The community decided to hard fork, change the rules and censor his transaction.

You could make the same argument that was censorship in bitcoin had a transaction been made that exploited the inflation bug before the fix was pushed out: https://bitcoincore.org/en/2018/09/20/notice/
I offered up roughly the median, 0.05 ETH, as well as a gas fee of 0.017 ETH, totalling 0.067 ETH. I imagine there will be another 0.017 in gas fees taken off to convert back, making back 0.033 in the end. My total return on the investment ends up as a 55% loss, or at the current ETH price, -$136.

Assuming gas fees are the same per person, that $ loss should be roughly the same. Probably not a great assumption, but using that we come to an estimated total loss across all donars at -$136 * 17,437 donars = -$2,371,432.

I wonder how many donations didn't happen because of the huge gas fees? DAOs will likely need a network with much smaller fees to properly raise and allocate funds.
He's a fool to not realize the threat. Tesla is almost certain to collapse unless they start making hydrogen cars themselves.
Love this and I salute you Seattle residents.

This is something everyone can get behind. Literally Democrat or Republican, you would be happier with more parties and more options.

There really shouldn't be anyone on the other side of this issue except the politicians who use the two party system to keep power among the few.
What a weirdly aggressive and unnecessary comment. Web3 has some pretty cool parts and there's definitely a new programming paradigm at work. Even out of curiosity, you should give it a try. Distributed computing is pretty interesting, and even more-so when there's a code complexity resource you need to optimize for (gas).
You might be surprised. You post that somewhere else, and 50% of the responses will say its fake news and photoshopped.
I assume you're being contrarian. It's hard to imagine a sane person who opposes effective enforcement of reckless driving laws.

I agree, you have to pretend NFT really implies ownership. I’d put it in the terms of service :).
For larger installations pipes are easier than wires.
I'll do you one better: People who are disinterested in this web3 because of all the money in it.

What made the early web great was all the weird stuff people did for fun and self-expression and what made it worse was when lots and lots of money got involved.

I don't see how getting more monetization involved would make anything better.
I can't but wonder how nice it would be if ported to ARM devices. If Linux can run on $15 small boards with much fewer resources than big PCs, this much lighter OS could literally fly.

Yeah, I have the feeling that they're still very much in the initial design phase, but even so 100% electric doesn't even imply battery-electric (and even if Venturi does plan on doing battery-electric, as their site vaguely implies, there's a good change they're basing their numbers off of an experimental battery chemistry that's being tested to replace lithium ion). Hydrogen fuel cells offer energy densities comparable to liquid fuels, although as mentioned previously they have volumetric issues due to the requirement for high-pressure and/or cryogenic storage of the hydrogen. I think the approach that these guys (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wright_Electric) are taking is more likely to work out in the near term, since their main problem is finding places in an existing airframe to store a bunch of hydrogen tanks.
I don't understand why more people don't realize this. I feel like a lot of people would consider a biology major who hasn't been in school for 20 years more of an expert on this sort of thing than Bill Gates, all because the student has a piece of paper saying they took like 12 classes loosely related to the subject.

It's like the people who argue that "Elon Musk is a rocket engineer in title only" because he went to school in physics rather than engineering. Like, you don't think being the CEO and lead engineer of SpaceX for almost 20 years is a better education than a 4 - 8 year degree?

Safaribooksonline :) jjk, i like the real thong too, dont get angry :)
I know, my point is that "80s space telescope" doesn't mean it's something super old that's not in use today...
So dark matter doesn't just mean "not illuminated" it means it doesn't interact with the EM field at all. However it does interact gravitationally, and this has a measurable impact on matter we can see with our telescopes, the cosmic microwave background, etc.

Cosmology today is, in general, very sophisticated. I mean no offense but armchair contrarian takes here are very much just coming from a place of ignorance. Any criticism we can imagine as lay people has already been plumbed to a depth and detail we will never be capable of in our lives. One can point out that there's always some degree of uncertainty in absolute terms, but I think the appropriate understanding is Bayesian, and I'd sooner bet on getting hit in the head by an astroid walking through my neighborhood than that cosmologists have this all fundamentally wrong.

The wikipedia page does a reasonably good job of going through the multiple independent lines of evidence we have for dark matter. Sean Carrol has some great posts / videos in this topic area as well. The reason we're so confident of the current state of knowledge is not somehow that physicists and cosmologists suffer from hubris that blinds them to sophomoric criticisms, though sadly there's a number of people who continue to grind that grift.
Playing around with a mainframe OS from the 70s (I'm weird like that), I realized that IBM has that wonderful thing where nearly every message has a code that you can use for lookup. In manuals or online, for example.

If you ever used OS/2 you might have seen that, too.

The problem is, the original handbooks are hard to come by[1], and while another wonderful thing (in some aspects) is that a modern, current mainframe is still compatible with that old code from the 70s, and so you can use their resources, you sometimes encounter error codes where the description is basically just "contact IBM". Most likely because IBM really does not expect you to encounter that error on a mainframe delivered since, say, the Berlin Wall fell.

Even if I wanted to, I doubt IBM wants to sell me a support contract for their 4 decades old last public domain version of their mainframe OS on an emulator.

[1] ... and especially on that old OS the message itself can be cryptically short, likely because even a few bytes still cost serious money in the beginning. You still see that in bootloaders.

> have poor tech support

I think Apple not only has much better customer support than other FAANG's, I think they have objectively great customer service. If you have a weird issue with your hardware, Apple will almost always blindly give you a replacement. I mean, hell; you even have a brick-and-mortar store to go to and get help. Apple's software in recent years has frustrated enthusiasts, but I think the average user actually likes the aggressive simplification of UI and paring down of power-user features. There are definitely bugs, I can't argue that, and average users definitely run across them; but I'm not sure my aunt has the same perception of Apple's software quality as I do. In general, I think Apple makes things that people want to buy; if they were truly user-hostile, the balance sheet wouldn't look the way it does.
So significantly more expensive than if they had used an existing structure to accomplish the same goals (shares in a company for example).

> If you're going to publish information that people might rely upon, especially in an emergency, you're taking on the responsibility of maintaining the accuracy of that information

That doesn't seem to work that way in most situations.

For instance there is a mandatory floor plan in all public buildings in case of emergency, and now with covid some do flow control by physically blocking entries/exits. These maps aren't updated to cross out blocked paths, and nobody seems to getting sued to outer space.

Gov sites are regularily broken, out of date, ridden with errors. I once needed to go to an clinic and used the GPS coordinates to go there, only to realize midway they were the town center coordinates and not the accurate building's coordinate. They still operate, I requested an update and it's not fixed.
simply unacceptable. I demand a vaccine for smallpox where immunity wanes after 6 months, I require boosters.
The fact that they had it at all means they weren't following best practices practices.

Let's take this example: https://beta.openai.com/examples/default-factual-answering

95% of the token usage in this example would consist of the prompt and I would only get 1 sentence in return. So if I wanted to generate another sentence, I would have to pay 95% of the cost towards the prompt again and again... Isn't there a way to create a template for the prompt so you only pay for the generated sentences?
If I were going to label a vial that held an extremely deadly but extinct-in-the-wild virus, I would label it in such a way that anyone who stumbled upon it would immediately know what they had so that they could take appropriate action. "Variola" just doesn't do that.
> Equipment costs are not exactly costs.

Yes, they are.

> They are investments that can be amortized over many years.

So, they are capex rather than opex costs.

> I would argue time is infinitely more precious than money,

Were that true, the market clearing price of people's time denominated in money would be infinite. Which would be inconvenient, since largely money exists to enable the indirect exchange of time for time (largely, as labor).
Agree with you, most companies have no malice. Especially, the ones that are early-stage, proving their PMF, and ready to scale are a pot of lovely gold. These companies are doing what it takes to make the customers happy.
idk it's not untrue. So far my time investment in distributed ledgers hasn't done a damn thing for anybody, but it has been fun (in a 'playing with your food' way, as someone said downthread). I suspect many here have had a similar experience.
Not necessarily true in development, at least when it comes to compute cycles. Oftentimes you run it once, find a bug, fix the bug, run it again. The CPU time spent in the compiler dwarfs the time spent actually executing the program.
I don't think you read my comment correctly...
Yup. Goes to show that Ethereum might not be the best tool for DAOs. Need a cheaper solution!
There was no shortage of t-shirts and even if wrapping a t-shirt around your head wasn't effective, at least it would have been logically consistent with the eventual messaging of "wear a better mask now that you can get them."

The experts decided to burn their own reputations for a short term benefit, and are paying the price now with vaccine hesitancy and growing ire towards experts.

I think it would be hard to get all the required fragments without raising red flags. There aren't that many synthesis companies and it would take a lot of fragments. Assuming you could get the fragments, its getting easier to assemble (join) them quickly. A 40000 base pair T7 bacteriophage genome was recently assembled from 52 parts in a single reaction (one tube)!

Pretty telling that the ETH gas fees probably contributed to this failure.

It was a cool project. And I'm glad the cryptocurrency space is constantly trying new things. I do think eventually they're going to win in a major way, somewhere.

But hopefully this will lead to some innovations in the way fees are handled.
Exactly! If you want to fully participate in Lemmy, you need a Lemmy account.

The federation here is basically an advertisement to join Lemmy. It’s the same with Peertube and Pixelfed.

If we need to make new accounts everywhere, I don’t see the point.
The US was stable for the entire 20th century with FPTP. If it's so bad, why was the US stable for so long with literally the exact same system we have now? Canada's used FPTP for its entire democratic existence, it's one of the most stable democracies on Earth. Britain not only uses FPTP, but uses the most extreme version possible in the Westminster system where the losing party has far fewer rights than they would in the US. Again- another perfectly stable 1st world democracy.

Meanwhile, lots of far more consensus-oriented political systems have utterly collapsed. Weimar Germany used PR- so did Argentina when Peron took over. Rwanda was using PR leading up to its famous genocide in the 90s! The number of parliamentary countries using PR that have collapsed probably exceeds the total number of FPTP countries globally.

Voting or electoral systems just don't matter that much- culture does. If you're a basically stable society, you can use any voting method and be fine- if Japan or the Scandinavian nations adopted FPTP tomorrow, nothing fundamental would change. If you're unstable, you'll be unstable no matter what type of voting system you use. Governments are not computers where a different operating system leads to different results, I'm sorry
Yes, that's exactly how you do it. I do that all the time with Zelle to move money between my bank accounts.
I'm not sure they were in denial as much as not wanting to piss off China.
I'd tend strongly to agree.

For a long time I resisted the pull of avatars, and thought of them as gimmicky. (This coming from the mailing list / Usenet tradition in large part.)

But having used forums in which avatars are and are not used (G+, Diaspora, and Mastadon amongst the former, HN, Reddit, and Tildes amongst the latter), I feel a palpable difference between the two. Most of us are sufficiently visually-oriented to pick up on a symbolic representation (avatars need not be photographs or faces), and there's a more rapid assimilation of these than there is of just a textual tag.

I've also noticed on platforms / cultures in which changing the visible handle / avatar combination is fairly common (this seems to be the case on Mastodon especially) that this is disruptive. Yes, there's a persistent user name, but changing the associated image and handle ... breaks that recognition. On balance I rather dislike it.

I'd had a brief experience on a site in which serial pseudonymity and a lack of long-term persistent identity was a norm (Imzy). That I think was one of several ultimately fatal mechanisms for the platform --- it was shut down after about a year.
They stopped vaccinating against smallpox in 1972[1]. It was administered around 12 months of age before then. So anyone in the US born in 1972 or later is most likely unvaccinated.
