I do give a shit. I just don’t think that stupid popup is worth it. I can’t believe site creators decided that was the way to go instead of just not collecting bullshit analytics. Instead they hope through dark patterns users will just click the shiny button because they’re annoyed. Actually… I guess it’s working…

Guns. I don’t give a single shit about them either way. I don’t have much interest in owning them. I don’t think a ban would be effective. I don’t think the US national argument about them is going to ever be resolved. Miss me with all that shit.

‘A catastrophe’: Greenpeace blocks planting of ‘lifesaving’ Golden Rice (www.theguardian.com)

Scientists have warned that a court decision to block the growing of the genetically modified (GM) crop Golden Rice in the Philippines could have catastrophic consequences. Tens of thousands of children could die in the wake of the ruling, they argue....

It’s important to save and continue to grow heirloom species, sure. But almost no cultivated species are native to where they’re grown.

Patent bullshit aside.

I mean, if you go back far enough, everything came from somewhere else.

The Wikipedia article on Native Species is a good start. It’s a bit blurrier than I thought but I think the important part is that it’s evolved along with the local ecosystem.

I still can’t believe we can’t get a completed audit of the DoD. Just a trillion dollar black hole.

There are also mushrooms that look like morels that you shouldn’t eat. Somewhat easy to filter out if you know what you’re looking for but maybe wouldn’t say hard to fuck up.

I’m not informed enough to answer any of your questions about them. You should find a better source than my fuzzy memory. I just remember being warned about them since morel picking is fairly popular around where I live.

Title is confusing. OpenAI is using News Corp content to train their models. NC isn’t using the model to write articles. Still a garbage in garbage out scenario though.

I’ve had some bear before. Smoked overnight, so essentially pasteurized. Was actually really good.

Basically a Ship of Theseus argument though. The current iteration of the company is selling their retro games and hardware again at least.

The Low-Paid Humans Behind AI’s Smarts Ask Biden to Free Them From ‘Modern Day Slavery’ (www.wired.com)

AI projects like OpenAI’s ChatGPT get part of their savvy from some of the lowest-paid workers in the tech industry—contractors often in poor countries paid small sums to correct chatbots and label images. On Wednesday, 97 African workers who do AI training work or online content moderation for companies like Meta and OpenAI...

KFSM 5Newsonline: Report: Walmart heir donates $500k to group working against Arkansas education amendment (www.5newsonline.com)

The receiving organization is known as Arkansans for Students and Educators and was formed on April 1, 2024. A statement of organization filed with the Arkansas Ethics Commission says that the group was formed “For the disqualification and/or defeat of The Arkansas Educational Rights Amendment of 2024.”...

The amendment seeks to “require identical academic standards and identical standards for accreditation, including assessments of students and schools based on such standards, for any school that receives State or local funds,” among other things, including:

  • The guarantee of voluntary universal access to pre-K for 3 and 4-year-olds, afterschool & summer programming, quality special education, and wrap-around services for children within 200% of the Federal Poverty Line.
  • Establish the minimum quality standards ordered by the Arkansas Supreme Court in 2002 in its Lakeview decision.

Imagine peeling off a cool $500k to fuck over childhood education.

Shocker: Turns Out 100K Trumpers Did Not Attend Donald's Wildwood Rally (crooksandliars.com)

Did you hear? Eleventy bazillion people showed up to hear Donald Vonshitzinpants drone on for hours about himself in Wildwood, New Jersey. Welp, Lisa Fagan, spokesperson for the city of Wildwood, is the one who guestimated that between 80,000 and 100,000 attendees were there, “based on her own observations on the scene...

While highly abused, internships are narrowly defined by law as educational and not the same as volunteering. I’ve also never heard of high schools requiring them. Usually a requirement for some college/uni degrees.

Because it’s not the public mempool. It’s a private MEV mempool that people pay to add their transactions to for special priority or conditional inclusion. For instance, asshole profiteers can use it to sandwich attack traders to siphon off “market inefficiencies” or some people just want immediate front of the line inclusion in the next block.

Presumably they exploited something in this MEV system (completely unrelated to the Ethereum protocol) that allowed them to see the pool and they shouldn’t have. Wish I knew more but everything I read was incredibly vague and misleading.

treadful,
@treadful@lemmy.zip avatar

I’m sure, yes. If you submit to a public mempool, you have no guarantees that your two transactions will land on either side of the target transaction in the same block (They likely won’t). You need to leverage conditional transactions with MEV so you guarantee the miner will select and position your transactions where you need them. In this case, before and after the target transaction.

Check out the Ethereum Foundation’s page on MEV for more info.
