This is a shocker. This German study showed that

This implies that roughly only one in seven German individuals with a PCR-positive test later had detectable IgG antibodies, that is, was actually infected with SARS-CoV-2.
The IgG results observed and published by ALM have not been acknowledged or communicated by the RKI to date, despite the fact that transparency in reporting such data should be mandatory, both scientifically and in terms of public accountability. Second, the proportion of the German population with a detectable immune response to SARS-CoV-2 was already substantial by the end of 2020. Approximately one-quarter of the population carried IgG antibodies at that point, following a trajectory determined almost exclusively by natural infections. By the end of 2021, practically the whole German population could be considered IgG positive.
I've noticed this. As you are falling asleep, there is a tipping point. When I've closed my eyes, I sometimes feel a sense of "here it comes" when I know that sleep is coming on. Lucid dreamers probably experience this, too.

DNA sequencers now need to take into account all the non-standard nucleotides. Machine learning to the rescue!

So this is what Yann LeCun left Meta for. Fei-Fei Li and Yann LeCun are independently seeking to produce world-models. Li's World Labs has produced Marble AI. It might be good for gaming, and if you were into creating an alternative universe experience. Is this the new trend? Web 3.0 was supposed to be something like this, but that fizzled. LeCun's model might have medical applications, perhaps in psychiatry.

Three days ago, I mentioned how Portland City Council was figuring out if their limited money should go to cleaning up the homeless mess everywhere in the city, or giving housing and food assistance to refugees (probably illegal aliens). Angelio Morillo voted to support the refugees. Well of course, Keith Wilson are other city council members are upset and don't want $4.3 million cut from the homeless cleanup fund. Either way, this is throwing good money after bad, as the underlying problems will still be there. Homeless trashing the city, and "refugees" clamoring for food and shelter. Blue city problems.

Yes! Getting rid of 340B pricing will level the playing field between hospitals and private doctors clinics. This program ballooned under Obamacare, and the original intent became abused to the great benefit of hospitals. This is another example of how when the government gets involved in something and skews market forces to the benefit of a favored party, unforeseen consequences benefit those who are able to take advantage. Instead of just being able to help the poor, hospitals were able to become very rich.

Well, it won't happen in Seattle, I guess.
