âoeSARS CoV-2 infection was linked with a 3.23-fold increased risk of BP [Bell palsy] compared with SARS-CoV-2 vaccines, which favors a protective role of the vaccine in reducing the incidence of BP associated with exposure to SARS-CoV-2,â the researchers concluded.
Also, from the NIH:
Conclusion: In our patient population, there is a higher risk of developing facial palsy within 2 months of COVID-19 infection versus vaccination. Vaccinated patients are not at higher risk of developing facial palsy.
We know the U.S. nor any western country will not be able to catch this guy, but at least there is now a name and a face It's a good piece of detective work to let the Russians know their wall of security is as good as swiss cheese.
This isn't the first time someone deep within the Russian security or intelligence apparatus has been unveiled. Certainly makes them wonder who is leaking this information. Paranoia can be entertaining.
It's not merely reading a book out loud, it is about correct pronunciation, voice inflection, tone, and other things we as humans take for granted.
There's a reason cartoons and video games get to be so popular. The voices behind the characters are what make the characters come alive. They can relate to the character and their voice conveys the emotion. For as good as AI is getting at rendering voices, it still hasn't mastered emotional input.
As an aside, have AI try to narrate one of Tolkein's books. How well do you think it will do rendering some of the names?
I lived with an l1 charger for the first month I had an EV. It was January in Maine. I could reliably recharge 3 to 4 miles of range per hour on the charger.
That profile may not work for everybody, but considering it's pretty trivial to ensure that the car is charging 10 to 12 hours a day for most commuters, I found level one very adequate. Especially since even in cold weather I have more than 180 miles of range so if they don't pick up all of their driving EVERY day there is buffer capacity in the battery that evens out over time.
There's a couple level two chargers downtown near me (walking distance) as well, so if I got into trouble I could park it downtown for a few hours and catch back up.
I did end up installing a level 2 charger at home because with the tax credit and car company charger rebate it was free, and it was more convenient to not have to think about it and just be fully charged every morning.
Point being there is a learning curve and having access to faster rate charging is important, but I'm pretty sure the level one charging will actually solve the needs of most daily drivers. Unless your commute is particularly long.
