@xris @HadasWeiss

Couldnt get a clear grip on your interests from your feed, so came here to say this too. Also markets ( #invisibleHand - theory of moral sentiments, and the wealth of nations) , #qualityControl, and #openBSD, I reckon. I'm delving these at the moment and it's super interesting. Also Enterprise Resource Planning software suites (specifically #ERP5 but it might prove too deep for my delving ability) and sometimes #cybernetics (which goes back to #mathematical #complexity and #communicationTheory ).

I just wanted to compliment the elegance of your penultimate sentence:

> "Machine learning is great for use cases where you don't understand the problem well enough to articulate it as a set of rules and where the value of a correct answer significantly outweighs the cost of an incorrect one."

I'm grazing a bit of Quality Control theory at the moment and defining quality is an inherent "problem". Your assertion is a really handy (and broadly applicable) rule of thumb. Thank you!

@vfrmedia which again is the problem with #criminalization, because #OrganizeCrime doesn't do #QualityControl to the standards of #OTC or #prescription #drugs.

• And that is the root of the problem compared to a #legal and #transparent #SupplyChain.

I've yet to hear of #Fentanyl contamination or forged #NSAID|s in circulation.

@carturo222 so much for their "#QualityControl" then, the only and main claim they had over #Wikipedia.

@Archivist @datarama @munin I think all drugs need #HarmReduction and that #criminalization prevents both proper information and access to care.

• I'm not saying we should've #Fentanyl Vending Machines (instead we should have professionally staffed "Consumption Rooms" where there's not only trained personnel onsite able and ready to intervene when needed) but that the criminalization and it's effects are more harmful to society overall.

• Only with a #legalzed access and #consumption will it be possible to enforce #ConsumerProtection, #QualityControl and #YouthProtection as well as offer support and relief where needed.

As for people harming others: That is sufficiently sanctioned in #PenalCode already!

• It doesn't change the fact that a person gets charged for murder regardless if they used their bare hands, a bajonet, syringe or gun to kill someone.

• Criminalization doesn't reduce access in the "Post-#Luty & Post-#GFC9" era, but merely makes it harder for investigators to find and match evidence pieces like the gun used.

Basically everything that doesn't inherently cause harm to individuals (i.e. violence), organizations (i.e. theft) or society as a whole (i.e. tax fraud & tax evasion) is a #VictimlessCrime per very definition.

@chu The #CyberTruck has worse #QualityControl and #Craftsmanship than the fucking #Trabant P601 and that thing was a cheap piece of fiber-reinforced phenolic resin on steel tubes with a two-cylinder, two-stroke air-cooled engine that couldn't even bother to have a fuel pump but had to be gravity-fed!

Yet their panel gaps were far less crooked and their cars don't get stained by rain dying up on their surface...

Even the #DeLoream #DMC12 did that #Sheetmetal look better and didn't have the #rust issues...

@Satori You need to taste test those tiny sprouts, Skye. #qualitycontrol

And no, the #CyberTruck isn't cool...

In fact, #QualityControl is worse than a #Trabant and #Steel is rustier than a #Moskvitch412...

@ct_bergstrom so much vor #QualityControl at #Elseviér...

They are just an asshole publishing house that can't even do basic string search on texts.

@arstechnica Most unions aren’t in #Kansas anymore, and soon neither will be the #Boeing parts supplier with #QualityControl challenges, #SpiritAeroSystems. https://kansaspublicradio.org/npr-news/2024-01-12/a-recent-lawsuit-alleges-excessive-defects-at-boeing-parts-supplier

@fatsam maybe it's because #Wikipedia in spite of it's problems at least has some #QualityControl - unlike some #ShitpostingAsAService "#AI"...
