Nostr. I think the tech is cool, but the culture seems like some sort of cryptocurrency cult

I hope this database of phone numbers, and all programs that connect to it, are secure.

(Not that text messages are even secure, but a database is much easier to extract a complete list from.)

They could have done both.

If it's not fixed by Monday, I will consider starting the approval process from the legal department that requires it from me.

I wish I had the freedom to just open a PR anywhere anytime, but I don't.

It sounds like a pull request would have been much more helpful, with much less effort. But you want it fixed less than you want it publicized, so you chose this option (even though you could have done both).

In other words, you cared less about the people impacted by this problem, and more about your own opportunity to put the author(s) on blast like this.

And you care about that opportunity so much, that it's even worth it to show this dark side of yourself publicly.

Am I understanding that right?

OR maybe everyone — including the poor — will eventually have access to robotic surgeons with the equivalent of like 500 human years of experience, but with the latest surgical best practices that have only existed in recent years. The experience gained by a single surgery could be shared across all of them.

We're talking about surgery. If some technology can provide significantly more valuable labor than its human counterpart (which, in this case, could mean more lives saved), then it might actually be worth exploring.

If I had to guess, it's likely due to the obesity problem they were having

It's kinda interesting how the most power-consuming uses of graphics chips — crypto and AI/ML — have nothing to do with graphics.

(Except for AI-generated graphics, I suppose)
