Sudden decrease in votes on apocalypticart@feddit.de after 0.19 upgrade in c/lemmy_support@lemmy.ml

Thanks for the info!

I crossposted this to (what I considered) the relevant communities, where I added that as an edit.

Sudden decrease in votes on apocalypticart@feddit.de after 0.19 upgrade in c/lemmy_support@lemmy.ml
[–] Crul@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

From what I see:

  • feddit.de is on BE: 0.19.1
  • lemm.ee is on BE: 0.19.1-rc.1

I don't know in which version was the bug fixed.

Sudden decrease in votes on apocalypticart@feddit.de after 0.19 upgrade (file.coffee)
 

This is the chart of the votes for the latest posts on !apocalypticart@feddit.de.

This may be just a coincidence, but I find a bit weird that the votes went down to almost zero exactly when lemm.ee[^1] and feddit.de[^2] upgraded to v0.19.

1-bit CPU for ‘super low-performance computer’ launched – sells out promptly in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] Crul@lemm.ee 12 points 2 years ago (2 children)

AFAIK, they are used as relays.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1-bit_computing#1-bit

Computers and microcomputers may also be used, but they tend to overcomplicate the task and often require highly trained personnel to develop and maintain the system. A simpler device, designed to operate on inputs and outputs one-at-a-time and configured to resemble a relay system, was introduced. These devices became known to the controls industry as programmable logic controllers (PLC).

Simulating Green Beard Altruism - Primer [13:22] (www.youtube.com)
 

From the video description:

Papers:

Next video: Simulating the Evolution of Sacrificing for Family - YouTube

TL;DW written with claude.ai from video transcription:

The video explores the evolution of altruistic behavior using computer simulations. It introduces the concept of "green beard altruism" - where organisms with a specific phenotype (e.g. a green beard) help others with the same phenotype. The simulations test whether genes for altruism can spread in a population.

Initially, a simple altruism gene goes extinct, even when the risk to altruists is made very low. Then a "green beard gene" is added, so altruists only help others with the same gene. This allows altruism to spread when the risk is moderate, but it goes extinct at higher risks. Finally, the "green beard" and altruism behaviors are split into two separate genes. This causes altruism to go extinct rapidly, showing green beard altruism is very fragile.

The video concludes that these simulations don't fully explain human altruism. The next video will cover "kin selection" based on Hamilton's rule, which may provide better insights.

Question about phones: Am I overreacting? in c/privacy@lemmy.ml
[–] Crul@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

My 2 cents: I have a similar relation with smartphones as yours.

In my case, what I fear the most is some app getting my contact list and using it to send some kind of "XXX has joined YYY service" notification to all of them. Also, I didn't like that Google had all the data they wanted, so I ended with 2 smartphones:

  • One de-googled (LineageOS without Google Apps) that I use for calls and trusted apps. This one has my contacts list.
  • One default Android-Google without simcard for those apps that require oficial-Android (mainly banks apps) and any app I'm afraid could mess with the contact list.

AFAIK I've only had one incident because I trusted Telegram too much. There is always non-zero risk, but this works for me.

AI in Brainfuck - mitxela [4:39] (www.youtube.com)
 

From the linked page in the video description:

https://mitxela.com/candle

About a day before EMF camp was due to begin, there were still slots available for lightning talks and I impulsively decided to give one. I talked about the tic-tac-toe opponent I wrote in brainfuck. It didn't go too well, I think most of the audience didn't have a clue what I was going on about, and ten minutes was cutting it a little bit fine since I had to waste the first part explaining what brainfuck is.

But perhaps sticking the presentation into a youtube video will let it reach a wider audience.
