Look no further than AtomicUsize in the standard library.

Except that if people are chosen randomly there is 2/3 chance that you are on the main track according to Bayes. Let’s assume there are 10 people.

The probability to be chosen is 1/6 (all are chosen if 6 is rolled) + (5/6) × (1/10) (only one is chosen to go to the side track if 1-5 is rolled) = 15/60 = 1/4.

The probability that you are on the side track knowing that you have been chosen is the probability that you have been chosen knowing that the side track is selected (1/10) × the probability that the side track is selected (5/6) divided by the probability for you to be selected at all (1/4), so (1/10)×(5/6)/(1/4) = 20/60 = 1/3. So there is a 2/3 chance that you are on the main track.

If you do not flip the switch, (2/3)×10 = 20/3 people die.

If you flip the switch, 1/3 (you if on side track) + 10 × 2/3 × 9 / 10 (switch misfires 9 out of 10 times if on the main track) = 190/30 = 19/3 die. This is slightly better than not flipping the switch, you save 1/3 people more. That’s an arm and a leg.

How about we stop at obviously malicious attempts of incitement to intercultural hate and violence?

Is such an incitement not an offense in Sweden already? I know it is in France for example.

Do you really want the state to recognize some things as sacred? Where do we start and where do we stop?

Of course. I was referring to the non-self-hosted solution.

My bad indeed, I thought Lemmy supported OAuth but I was confused with Mastodon. Hopefully someone contributes a OAuth/OIDC solution soon.

Why do you ask for the user password rather than using oauth to access the user account? This looks highly suspicious, websites should never do that.

Interesting, but it lacks major backend parts such as instruction selection and register allocation.
