2·3 months agoOnly if psychological effects could impact the result. That doesn’t apply with vaccines, does it?

2·3 months agoI hate to say it, but this one I agree with RFK Jr on. You have to have a control group. If it’s ethically wrong to not treat with the standard of care then make the placebo group opt-in to placebo so they know they are not getting the current standard of care.
You can still do the compare vs current standard of care, but also need the placebo. Also diseases can evolve so re-comparing to baseline should be a must to make sure the current standard is actually helping like we think it does.

2·8 months agoThat’s where things like decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) and smart contracts could come into play. Maybe we could start implementing this without ever involving the government at all.

2·8 months agoI agree with the socialism part, but I’m not picking up on the authoritarian overtones. I would want a system like this to be flexible to meet the basic living needs of each person and would view it as more of a stepping stone to a post-scarcity society.

2·8 months agoBasically ration it. Citizen #1346733 each month is allowed:
- two loaves of bread (any ingredient makeup as individuals have individual needs)
- Standard Issue: house credit
- Standard Issue: water credit
- Standard Issue: electric credit
- etc.
Standard Issue Credits are expected to cover the complete cost of the median citizen’s usage. Citizens can pool credits to afford larger houses, e.g., families of four would have 4x credits to spend.
This is extremely easy to implement with (evil, no good) blockchain, have government issue them, citizens spend them, merchants resell them back to government.

Collapse@lemm.ee•Microplastics discovered in caddisfly casings from the 1970s suggest long-term contamination
2·8 months agoI wonder if microplastics can be found in older samples as well. Do microplastics predate industrialization? Not saying this is likely, but maybe we’re seeing something that was always there.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.ca•Why are so many doctors technology illiterate?
3·8 months agoThat’s a great point I hadn’t considered. Why would they even think to change it, that’s how it works. I wonder if I can extend that thought to other aspects of my life to see where I’m blind to that notion.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.ca•Why are so many doctors technology illiterate?
2·8 months agoI don’t expect the doctors themselves to know DNS or even adblockers for that matter, but at least have the IT infra in place to manage it for them. With all of the HIPAA requirements, I would have thought a more thorough IT practice would be required.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.ca•Why are so many doctors technology illiterate?
1·8 months agoThat sounds fantastic. The most technology I see many of them using is an audio recording device that essentially just writes the notes for them verbatim, presumably to avoid having to type on the keyboard. Is being able to touch type while talking to someone at the same time that unique of a skill?

Cybersecurity@sh.itjust.works•Apple chips can be hacked to leak secrets from Gmail, iCloud, and more (28 Jan 2025)English
7·9 months agoThe LAP can issue loads to addresses that have never been accessed architecturally and transiently forward the values to younger instructions in an unprecedentedly large window," the researchers wrote. “We demonstrate that, despite their benefits to performance, LAPs open new attack surfaces that are exploitable in the real world by an adversary. That is, they allow broad out-of-bounds reads, disrupt control flow under speculation, disclose the ASLR slide, and even compromise the security of Safari.”
SLAP affects Apple CPUs starting with the M2/A15, which were the first to feature LAP. The researchers said that they suspect chips from other manufacturers also use LVP and LAP and may be vulnerable to similar attacks. They also said they don’t know if browsers such as Firefox are affected because they weren’t tested in the research.

So explain why violent crimes plummeted when PlayStation and GTA came out. It’s lead poisoning from leaded gasoline. We cut that out and it’s been trending down. If violent video games have any impact, it’s likely to reduce physical violence instead of increase it.
