And we do that with basic algorithms informed by research. But then the score gets tied and we have to decide who has the greatest chance of following though on their regimen based on things like past history and means to aquire the medication/go to the appointments/follow a diet/not drink. An AI model will optimize that based on wild demographic data that is correlative without being causative and end up just being a black box racist in a way that a committee that has to clarify it’s thinking to other members couldn’t, you watch.

What are you going to train it off of since basic algorithms aren’t sufficient? Past committee decisions? If that’s the case you’re hard coding whatever human bias you’re supposedly trying to eliminate. A useless exercise.

I’m so used to dingbat news articles posting about the hole closing around mid antarctic summer and catastrophically opening again at the beginning of antarctic spring every year that I had to check the date. Thankfully this isn’t that type of article.

Course with trump gutting NOAA those reports might get few and far between.

If you think giving Bezos money to fly a flag is praxis and boycotting isn’t, I don’t really know what to tell you.

I’m sure we have some competent silk screeners here in lemmyland.

Boycott Amazon. Thiel sold his PayPal shares so he shouldn’t have a significant stake in eBay anymore so I don’t know if they’re worth boycotting.

There are lurkers but many of the active commenters are frankly just more active in voting and commenting. Lemmy has much more engagement than Reddit for commenters because it’s a small community and the way comments are default sorted. You don’t need to make a comment early to end up on the top of the thread. You just need to get about two up votes and it’ll put you at the top. If what you said is worthwhile then you’ll get a lot more after that

Edit: one of the benefits of this is it encourages high quality late comments. On Reddit those would largely get ignored, but here engagement like that is encouraged.

Untrue. Reddit employees doing what their bosses tell them to are justifiably afraid of the blowback. Reminds me of the directive to not wear Reddit branding with the 3rd party app thing These folks don’t want targets on their back.

So what’s the cathulhu chant? Me’wglui mrow’nyanfh Cathulhu R’eow meowgah’nagl fhtagn coughs up a hairball?

Be nice if these sort of things linked to a committee that actually proposed a strategy.

And that lethal injections have an extremely high botched execution rate.

That’s because if someone is a difficult stick you’d need to have advanced skills to actually get a patent IV line and they’re incapable of hiring anyone who can do that. The prison nurse isn’t going to give up their license to become an executioner to do an ultrasound guided IV. Due to that you end up with extravasated potassium chloride which is essentially like setting someone’s limbs on fire.

This stuff was the whole point of developing the guillotine in the first place.

It’s a very mutable word due to it’s metaphorical nature. It’s certainly not set in stone.

Gotta go for the ventrillo rofflecopter going soi soi.

Which I don’t have a problem with. Having vastly different moderation policies can create a walled garden, but there are instances where a walled garden is just preferable. See how askhistorians was handled. It’s better to have a platform that you can shape to your needs and the potential needs of your users. If it’s truly useless, then nobody would use it

Terms of use are plainly stated by these sites. They consider it stealing.

I consider it more trespassing than stealing myself.

Doesn’t matter on their end. If they wanted to they could ship it and let it get held up by customs with a demand to pay the tariff to release it.

The fun part is the security exploits often come from things like DRM ink cartridges that allows an attack to come from the goddamn cartridge!

Wouldn’t be a problem if you didn’t include a serial connection to the cartridge in the first place!

Wilhelmina doesn’t get mad until you send your first trade route to somewhere other than her cities. Now she may be out of range and you wouldn’t be capable of trading with her, but you still can run a route. Generally the only people who should want to trade with her though are ghengis and Kublai Khan. The Dutch need to go.
