I imagine it'd be satisfying to reply “fuck off”, but it'd let the attacker know it is a live address for a more targeted spear phfishing attack, so it is the right call not to respond imho.
That's certainly true. I'd still say that for the online stores, for which that policy applies, there isn't a lot of upside to preordering. Because the purchase is digital, you will always be able to get a copy on release day (unless the publisher artificially limits how many games it will sell, but I've never heard of a publisher doing this).
I'm sure most've you have noticed whatever the weird bug is that causes Lemmy to claim some obscure post with no comments has hundreds of likes, but I have no problem whatsoever believing this one has 409 likes.
Nya, you thought I was a bot, but it was me, Dio all along, nya.
You've gotta repost that as a gif (it didn't show up in browser for me but managed to watch it on the link). It was an awesome scene. I wish that was what stack overflow looked like. edit:ip→up
You'd have to be a bit loopy to accuse yourself 😉
It's how ~~isoforms~~ functions with different signatures evolve. As long as it isn't harmful it tends to stick around. Then the different code may develop adaptations which fit it into a niche if it is a selective advantage for the ~~organism~~ code base.
It's complete bullshit. But the way it is bullshit is interesting. I had a response to it initially that was along the lines of well, there are lots of different gods, so why should you trust any of them. But if there is a very small chance of an infinite reward, that is still an infinite expected value. So shouldn't you just flip a coin and choose one? A more sophisticated response is to say well, how do you know there isn't a god of athiests that will reward athiests infinitely. If you accept Pascal's Wager, then even if I grant you that the “god of athiests” a billion times less likely, you still can't choose between it and the other gods because the expected value of any choice is infinite. So I can believe whatever I want to do and have the same expected reward. And if you don't accept Pascal's wager, then don't talk to me until you have another reason to believe in your story. So you win either way by logic. And to paraphrase Lewis Carrol's Achilles, “Then Logic would take them by the throat, and force them to concede the point! …Logic would tell them, “You can't help yourself.”” 😁
Well, there's a reason I can't (IDK anything about browser internals 😅).
I only meant if you weren't concerned with keeping it synchronized with the original project. I was reading it more as a proposal for the community to get behind a free alternative rather than strictly informational about browser engine alternatives.
Noob ideological flailing
I feel like I see a lot of scorn for corporate open source projects (with good reason—whoever controls the code base controls controls what features get added that are technically compatible with free software but could promote lock-in if added together). I was trying to understand to what extent this is based on a view that capitalist interests aren't always aligned with the public good 😮 and what was specific to Chromium itself. I guess the existence of free software is necessary, but it doesn't get you the entire way to software freedom if you don't consider who controls the main branch of all the projects.
part where I spend other people's time proposing a feature I'm not willing to spend time to implement
Perhaps there could be an optional setting that lets you contribute to a crowdsource thing when people rip their cds with open source software and get the metadata from MusicBrainz (those that still buy cds)? Seems pretty do-able actually.
part with unfounded patent speculation
Maybe there is a patent or something keeping that feature from being added to the databases and programs?
I agree. If you can't test the structures against proteins that don't crystalize, then you can't really say much about the output.
best experimental protocol evar™ do not steal 👍
If it were me I would try to use the generated structures to make predictions. Perhaps get the model to tell you how many residues of a certain AA are on the protein surface, attach some sort of fluorescent marker to all the surface residues in a physical sample, remove the unattached marker from the solution, and then measure the intensity of the emitted light to estimate how many of those residues are actually on the surface of the structure.
Idk if exactly that would work, but it seems like an easier question to test if a protein is consistent with a generated structure. So perhaps you could tell the biologists that the “ball is in their court” to get them off your back 😃 (if it is biologists of course).
Also, I certainly didn't mean to imply that you could get the pattern the neural net found out of it. Only that that it has in there somewhere if the net is generalizing.

I completely agree with you about motivation in isolation. I've been doing a bit more this past week, but I need to keep pushing myself to stay focused on the same project after a day or so. It was easier in college because I had more external motivation. I did have the idea recently that I could learn a bit of graphics and get a bit more motivation out of what I code. I'll probably stick with that for a couple of months because it is a fairly versatile skill to know how to tell the GPU to do things. Additionally, thank you for letting me know about the Out in Tech group. It sounds like it would be helpful.
