Comment Do you like time travel? (Score 1) 183

"Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes" on Amazon Prime.

Very short window time travel, that is. A Japanese production that's very clever with a pretty twisty plot, made more remarkable by the claim that it was shot in a single take. Believable, but there's one scene that must have had a bit of post work. Stay through the credits for a bit of 'making of' documentation.

Comment Noir++ (Score 2) 183

My Netflix faves (not new, but great):

"Babylon Berlin" - I don't ordinarily care for historical fiction, but this series, set near the end of the Weimar republic is quite the nexus, like a much more intense 'Cabaret', but with Trotskyites. I'm currently midway through my 4th viewing.

"The Method" - even darker than the above. Set in (maybe) contemporary Russia. A bit of a spoiler, but if you're a Dexter fan, this should tick your boxes. Ultimately, though, it's really a love story.

And a book: "The Oxford Brotherhood" by Guillermo Martinez.
If you've ever wondered if Lewis Carroll was a pedophile, this is for you.

Comment Re:What actual chips are in short supply? (Score 1) 97

Good Question !

I suspect this says more about the 'aggolmeration' process than the actual development environment.

It seems that a 'natural' evolution would be from "special circuit board with firmware" toward 'CPU with all the functions needed by the vehicle'. But, at least for the meantime, separate "Module"s, whatever they may be, may provide greater robustness...

Comment How about a bullshit disclaimer? (Score 3, Insightful) 213

Would it be OK if all "(anti-) social media" sites prefaced each post with a disclaimer like this?

"This post, along with all other posts on this site are pure, unadulterated bullshit. Only a fool would believe anything here."

Comment Re:mRNA and MHC (Score 1) 245

mRNA should degrade fairly quickly which is likely why 2 shots are needed fairly closely apart.

but this should also call into question whether any immune response will last beyond the inter-shot period. i've seen no reports of immunity past the initial test period of 7 days, but i'm ignorant.

if more or less continuous injections are required, i suspect spike protein epitopes will start being presented with MHC on cell surfaces, if they aren't already. having this go on for too long could result in the spike proteins being taken as self-proteins which would eliminate immunity, possibly causing super-susceptibility.

there may be other tricks involved, though, but i've not seen this issue addressed...

Comment Outing Qanon? Hilarious ! (Score 1) 338

The really funny thing is that, in the '70s, when I lived in San Francisco, Qanon was a support group for gays who wanted to remain in the closet.

You'll never find any references to it, online or otherwise, because they were really, really good at keeping it quiet.

I've no idea who decided to troll the alt-right by having them 'out' themselves, but I've been laughing ever since.
