I got myself a non healing distaal biceps tendinopathy doing pull ups. This was in 2023. Eventually the doctor told me any training was fine and even good, as long as it wouldn't hurt after. BTW resting didn't help at all. I pushed it a lot, but wouldn't even get muscle aches even when pushing the limits. It still took more than a year, closer to two. Note that contrary to you, I didn't have great pain, I merely had a strong feeling of discomfort when holding something at a right angle -think standing with a drink. I would quickly feel like I couldn't hold that glass anymore.

So for some tendonitis it's good to load properly, resting may not be beneficial.

Another thing, your story occurred after COVID vaccination, so it also occurred after COVID.

Even if the vaccine caused it, it doesn't mean that pushing the general population to get it was wrong, which is reflected in the fact that you can't sue the pharma company. Perhaps you can sue those who pushed out the recommendation? I think it's known and accepted that between 10 and 100 ppm of vaccinations cause severe adverse effects. You just happened to the on the receiving end of that decision...

An acquaintance, now around retiring age, got the obligatory polio vaccine as a child. His sister, 6 y.o., didn't react well, she was in a coma for 3 weeks before she died. 1970s, Netherlands.

The grandfather of a work colleague died of the COVID-19 vaccine. Turkey, 2021, obligatory vaccination. Muscle cramps and sweating for 3 days, then he died. 80+, not too fit but not bad for his age.

At some point there's no more good options, only bad ones.

The sad thing is, the world didn't learn much from COVID-19, the next time I'm afraid it won't go better.

Note that on many new systems (Arch, Manjaro, Mageia to name a few that I've seen this on) use Ctrl-Alt-F1 for the first X session, F12 will typically have the boot messages, F11 something I forgot. Caused perhaps by Wayland but I don't typically use that.

Huawei is an amazing company in many respects. In about 2012 Xiaomi was still heralded as the great potential from China, but 2018 Huawei was in the lead. They are the only company that do all the following in mobile/telecom: mobile handsets, chips for those (HiSilicon), OS for those, app store, mobile infrastructure, likely chips for that, likely OS for that...

Nokia back in the day didn't make their own handset chips. Apple does, but they have no infrastructure, etcetera.

And Huawei came practically out of nowhere in 2012, so they have been very well funded by the Chinese government.

Shumer similarly gives an "oh god, it's getting so good so fast!" timeline that includes AI passing the bar. That 2023 story was debunked in 2024 and somehow this guy is unaware of that. Why in the world would someone so unable to identify reliable information be trusted on AI reliability?

Why do you assume he's unaware and not ignoring it because it's better for his finances? I do applaud your character, it takes a thief to catch a thief and you just clearly displayed that you assume the better. Thank you for giving some hope in this doom and gloom era.

I'm happy to see your comment modded up properly. Last time I stated that LLMs don't hallucinate just sometimes, that instead every single answer is equally made up, I got shouted down for not swallowing the industry jargon.

But you put it right there: there's dishonesty due to interest of the specialists. In other words, those who push the term hallucination have something to sell. The public including reporters just follow.

Hold your horses, please. Pretty please? I'm not saying you're imagining things, so you can drop the line of all the things I'm apparently not aware of. I have no idea from the remark I made and the comments before, why you come up with having to tell parents they lost a child.

This is Slashdot, light banter around technical stuff, we're not solving any problems here.

You apparently had serious cases in your mind, which is in your head. That doesn't mean I'm claiming you're imagining things, it just wasn't anything I wondered about when I wrote my comment. That's the hint of imagination, regarding what I wasn't talking about and what you turned into the subject.

Please read again what I commented on, you were commenting on something that I don't think I actually wrote. And then suspecting I'm mysantropic, etc etc .... Harsh, dude. Again, please chill.
