Thanks for the response! And absolutely a fair point about reading the article. I wasn't really trying to look for ways that the vaccines do damage, given that the risks of covid seem to clearly be higher. Just wanted to check if I understood the implication correctly. Thanks again!
Yeah, for context I'm fully vaccinated and not trying to create distrust of the mRNA vaccines. Just curious because that seems like a pretty bad thing. It makes sense that this would only happen while the spike proteins are actually present in your body. Thanks for the response!
I didn't read the article, but my very basic understanding of mRNA vaccines is that they cause your own cells to produce the spike protein so that your immune system can learn to attack it without actually having the virus present. Does this finding imply that the vaccine would also inhibit DNA damage repair? Or is it more like, in combination with the virus, the spike protein inhibits DNA repair?
What plotting library were you using? The "first plot of the day" is a bit slow for me, but certainly it doesn't take minutes. I just opened a fresh repl and "using PyPlot" took a little over 5 seconds, and the first plot took around 1.2 seconds. Plots after that are around 0.001 seconds.
Granted, if you were plotting in a small script, I guess every run would take about 7 seconds to get the plotting functionality.
I haven't read the article, but there have been a number of games that I found personally helpful. It's not that they're helpful because they provide an escape from real life and its problems. Instead, they can be a source of meaningful dialogue about common problems, and they can help us to see that we are not isolated and that our troubles are not as impossibly unique as they might feel. After a quick skim, I haven't played any of the games in the article, but two games that made a fairly large impact for me were Celeste and OwlBoy.
I'm a little confused by this. If the chromecast didn't know my wifi password, how could it connect to google to receive any information / configuration? Mostly commenting because I want to know if there's some cool mechanism for getting around that! Thanks!
Just guessing, but it could be that they are claiming that 200 million unique videos are recommended on a given day, with the number of unique videos being a proxy for how diverse they are. Perhaps before some of their recent changes, the number of unique videos was smaller. (Who can say for sure, though)
I whole-heartedly agree. This is one of the reasons I think that education about AI and ML is important (and, on the flip side, I also think that it wouldn't hurt to educate AI and ML researchers/engineers about humanist issues so that they can participate in non-technical debate).
