To honest, this was and should have been expected.

Dr. Michael Yeadon, Former VP of Pfizer Pharmaceuticals actually said as much...

Specifically, this section: https://youtu.be/8bX-wFVBP94?t=149

What's super interesting, perhaps giving everyone a different coronavirus may have been an effective vaccine.

There's a lot of other things we can't discuss, but I highly recommend researching.

Kind of amazing we can't discuss any of this for the first 18 months.

No, a similarity between SARS-CoV-2 and other coronaviruses was expected but not this. Flu is not caused by a coronavirus. From the paper:

> This finding is in contrast to multiple published studies in which pre-existing T-cell immunity is suggested to arise from shared epitopes between SARS-CoV-2 and other common cold-causing coronaviruses. However, our findings suggest that SARS-CoV-2 reactive T-cells are likely to be present in many individuals because of prior exposure to flu and CMV viruses.

That paragraph is not the journalist's writing, it's a quote, presumably transcribed from a verbal interview.

How is this an excuse to spell "grisly" as "grizzly"?

Turns out it is:

> This term came from Bitkeeper, a predecessor to Git. Bitkeeper referred to the source of truth as the "master repository" and other copies as "slave repositories".

I'm not sure about the accuracy of this quote. In git world branch names have nothing to do with repositories. If anything, the "source of truth" repository is generally called "origin".

I have a 3090 and cheap-ish electricity. Is it actually worth doing GPU mining again? I thought that died out long ago.

Nvidia even offers dedicated mining GPUs: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/cmp/

This has to be wrong readings, is the M1 swapping really totally different? My normal last gen Intel Mac has 0% usage and it's nearly one year old (yes, I use it nearly daily).
abiogenesis · 5 years ago
It's probably macOS doing something differently when run on an M1.

I haven't. That looks super promising! I find AWS/Azure almost intentionally obtuse in their pricing and setup/configuration. This looks like they focus on the opposite!

Amazon has another offering called Lightsail [1] with simpler pricing. It might work better for side projects.

A girlfriend's mother once asked to pay me after fixing her computer.

I said a bottle of wine will be fine. (I'd just turned 18)

She said no I insist.

I said well my rate is £100 an hour and it took three hours.

She chose to give me a bottle of wine.

abiogenesis · 5 years ago
That happens all the time. What's weird is that they look at me like I'm trying to rip them off.

I have already told you I am not going to charge you. I am just stating my rate if you were to pay for it.
