To be fair, they were poison to some.
The mRNA in COVID-19 vaccines directs cells to produce the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, short live/relatively localized, but due to the systemic biodistribution of lipid nanoparticles, vaccine mRNA and resulting spike protein have been detected in distant tissues, including the heart muscle and arterial walls, in multiple studies. This wider distribution occurred even with proper intramuscular injection, though inadvertent intravenous administration may have increased systemic exposure in some cases.Notably, spike protein or its fragments have been detected in blood and tissues for months after vaccination in a subset of individuals — with reports extending up to 6 months or longer — indicating that expression can persist far beyond initial expectations for this novel mRNA platform. These findings highlight significant risks inherent to mRNA technologies: unintended organ distribution (particularly cardiovascular), prolonged antigen production, and potential immune-mediated injury such as myocarditis and vascular inflammation, especially in younger males and certain susceptible populations.

I needed to create a program to retrieve solar generation plants, select a plant from a gui, enter date ranges, cost info, then pull daily usage data from inverters and meters. The API inconsistently mapped endpoint names making it hard to find where the data lived.
Claude code sorted it all out in about an hour. It built test harnesses to verify correct endpoints. It built the gui and good looking excel outputs.
Built a really well documented .md and repo for checking into our internal gitlab.
I haven’t written or reviewed a line of code, as it is only an internal app to be used by one accountant in our business.
AI is getting shockingly good at least for small problem spaces.

I’ve been using vertical tabs ever since wide aspect monitors came out, which is one of the main reasons I don’t use chrome.

Huh. Nearly every corporate uses a VPN to get external connectivity to their internal network.

My Paypal account has been locked for 10 years now, because my personal email was linked to a now defunct business, and this traps you into a circle of ‘need more information to unlock your account’, business no longer exists, PayPal can’t compute, can’t unlink the account.
They also took ages to get 2FA, and this awful habit of auto logging you in for payments, so if someone had your cookies they could just make purchases without any addition authentication. Just change the delivery address and fraud is your friend.
Useless organisation.

If you really want to start at -1, just hint that trump may have done something good, like plug the border. Powerful is the /. TDS!

The three letter agencies are very pleased.
Huge time saver!

My son is doing CS, and first two years are very pure math heavy.

When I look around my industrial estate, full of fabricators, tool suppliers, hydraulics, hardware, car repair, pipe extrusion, specialist bakeries and printers, you know, where real life happens outside the tech bubble, I can assure you AI will have zero impact for the foreseeable future. The main use I see so far, is a better search engine.

Yeah but /. Has had a good old whine every time windows upgrades.
I’m on Win11, And it’s still just windows.

Well anyone who does engineering or embedded is forced to use windows.
Pretty much every high end eCAD, mCAD, and dev environments that need to talk to real world hardware are windows only.

Australia has done this.
No Real ID was required and no adults I know had to do anything.
The social media companies already know more about you than your mother.

Thus AI will suffer from the GIGO effect.
What percentage of papers are fraudulent or have non reproducible data.
Good luck with. AI working that out.
Wait till AI starts writing researchslop papers enmasse.

Now that every China car is internet connected, what is the chance they have a remote kill switch so in time of war, Chinese cars can be used as weapons of war.
