Question: why are politicians regarded as strong leaders by how much they can punish the most vulnerable? Beating up those without the resources to fight back seems to be the weakest option to me...

I saw someone point out today that to a French speaker “ChatGPT” reads like “Cat, I farted” (« Chat, j’ai pété ») and now that is what I am going to think of every time I see it mentioned.

Wow... I just got this email from the lecturer who marked my Master of Analytics Capstone assessment.

I trust this message finds you well. I wanted to express my admiration for your work and suggest that you consider submitting it to an academic conference. Additionally, I would be thrilled to collaborate with you and co-author a joint paper. If you are interested in extending the work, please do not hesitate to contact me, and I will gladly prepare the paper for ICIS2023.

Review of reinfection shows no pattern re severity, decreased risk if reinfected, and that natural immunity is not long lasting.

SARS-CoV-2 Reinfection and Severity of the Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Since the discovery of SARS-CoV-2, changes in genotype and reinfection with different variants have been observed in COVID-19-recovered patients, raising questions around the clinical pattern and severity of primary infection and reinfection. In this systematic review, we summarize the results of 23 studies addressing SARS-CoV-2 reinfections. A total of 23,231 reinfected patients were included, with pooled estimated reinfection rates ranging from 0.1 to 6.8%. Reinfections were more prevalent during the Omicron variant period. The mean age of reinfected patients was 38.0 ± 6. years and females were predominant among reinfected patients (M/F = 0.8). The most common symptoms during the first and second infection were fever (41.1%), cough (35.7% and 44.6%), myalgia (34.5% and 33.3%), fatigue (23.8% and 25.6%), and headaches (24.4% and 21.4%). No significant differences of clinical pattern were observed between primary infection and reinfection. No significant differences in the severity of infection were observed between primary infection and reinfection. Being female, being a patient with comorbidities, lacking anti-nucleocapsid IgG after the first infection, being infected during the Delta and Omicron wave, and being unvaccinated were associated with a higher risk of reinfection. Conflicting age-related findings were found in two studies. Reinfection with SARS-CoV-2 suggests that natural immunity is not long-lasting in COVID-19 patients.

Oh that's subtle!

'ESET said the malicious PDF file used in the scheme appeared to have a file extension of “.pdf,” but that this was a ruse. ESET discovered that the dot in the filename wasn’t a normal period but instead a Unicode character (U+2024) representing a “leader dot,” which is often used in tables of contents to connect section headings with the page numbers on which those sections begin.'

Richard Nixon on marijuana legalization via antisemitism:

I mean one on marijuana that just tears the ass out of them. I see another thing in the news summary this morning about it.

You know it's a funny thing, every one of the bastards that are out for legalizing marijuana is Jewish. What the Christ is the matter with the Jews, Bob, what is the matter with them?

I suppose it's because most of them are psychiatrists, you know, there's so many, all the greatest psychiatrists are Jewish.

By God we are going to hit the marijuana thing, and I want to hit it right square in the puss ...

You’ve read it a few times by now but it’s good to see on a map: The land border between Russia and NATO doubled in length now that Finland is a member. Putin’s invasion of Ukraine was a fail on all levels. Probably the biggest fails in post war European history.

@crswa @futurebird

Exactly... Instead of arguing one or the other, we should be considering where that balance should lie. And the optimum position of that balance will change from industry to industry and over time. It's a nuanced complexity that doesn't suit the modern narratives

It's heartwarming to see the evangelicals praying for everyone who slept with porn stars right after their wives give birth.

They are the ones God should be protecting in these unpresidented times.
