It does. And Firefox is my default browser app.

I hear you, but genetic change at the level of these diseases and traits can take on the order of hundreds of thousands of years or more to accumulate into meaningful trends. Social society is a part of that process, in the way it might be for other social animals. If social dynamics tend to result in communities harboring vulnerable individuals, then there is probably some selective advantage to that behavior, not the other way around.

This is a common misconception. These traits are not likely due to modern medicine (which is very, very new compared to the scale of human evolution). The environment plays a big role, but there is always a distribution of traits in a normal population, some good, some bad. Not to mention that what we might be self-selecting for must change very rapidly as civilizations rise and fall, preferences shift like the winds, and ethics rapidly evolve. I think this misconception can be dangerous, because of what you mentioned. Eugenics.

Well, it is technically differential equations, but with weighted inputs like a NN. Here’s the equations

for each node (gene/morphogen) i. zi is the concentration of morphogen i, zj is that of j. f(x) is the sigmoid function, k1 is the maximum rate of expression, k2 is the degradation rate, b is the bias. wij is the weight for an edge from j to i.

This is just written in python, so the network is defined by a matrix with each number representing the weight between two of the edges. I ignore the edge if it’s weight is zero.

What are the standard symbols for genetic circuits?

edit: sorry it’s impossible to see the equations if you have a black background.

Damn, that’s cool.

This exact thought has been tossing around in the back of my mind since I read it. I was trying to figure out the legitimate reasons for not wanting to live in a city, and as far as I can tell, there are a few. But I’m not sure if it’s worse than living 45min away from downtown in some suburb and always feeling stranded without gasoline, no-matter if you are at home(too far away from the grocery store), in the city, or somewhere on the long highway connecting the two. There is no place for a person without a car really, not for more than a couple hours.

I decided to give it a try over the weekend on a road trip, through the apps Organic Maps and Go Map!! I really liked Go Map!! except that it crashes occasionally, and won’t restart until your reinstall it :( loosing all the GPS tracks and unsubmitted data :(( If it was more stable, I’d recommend it to everyone.

Use KeePass!! It’s an opensource, offline if you’d like, password manager that doesn’t trust any third party servers to manage your sensitive information. https://keepass.info/

I’m glad people are talking about this. There definitely needs to be a ‘back-fill’ protocol to capture unfederated content across instances with different ages, or to make up for dropped requests due to server load

looks like https://lemmyverse.net/ is doing a decent job with indexing at the moment. I do honestly feel that indexing should take place on every instance, since each instance has a unique position in the network, and the indexing parameters/ranking algorithms could be under per-instance control rather than an outside third party.

lets see you make a post then

I really like the idea. There one major issue that I see currently, and that is discoverability. It takes some real effort and time to explore things outside of your own instance. I think the federation of pre-federation content will be important for discoverability, since the foundation of a community is in it’s ranking of posts, which takes time and interaction. Right now, votes, comments, and most posts pre-federation on another instance are just not reachable.

I believe this problem can be solved, and there are a lot of motivated developers here, so I’m all in on lemmy.

Use tor.
