[00:14:42] <raxas> AzumaHazuki: The advantageous protection afforded by natural immunity that this analysis demonstrates could be explained by the more extensive immune response to the SARS-CoV-2 proteins than that generated by the anti-spike protein immune activation conferred by the vaccine26,27. However, as a correlate of protection is yet to be proven1,28, including the role of B-Cell29 and T-cell
[00:14:43] <raxas> immunity30,31, this remains a hypothesis.
[00:15:22] <raxas> that's the quote, for the question you ASKED

[00:36:07] <AzumaHazuki> re-thermal-pasting is going very well. did my backup machine (HP 725 G4), my mother's (Lenovo T440s), and will now do my main (Lenovo E495). Noctua makes some really good paste

[00:45:07] <Deucalion> Laptops particularly appreciate new paste every few years. Although I think the main benefit is in the disassembly and blowing out all the crud in the already pitifully poor air flow passages. Regularly see CPU run temps drop 10 to 20C after disassembly, cleaning and pasting.
[00:45:48] <tedious> I think there are a ton of articles out there with a headline that was written by somebody dumb who doesn't understand what they read.
[00:48:06] <Deucalion> A lot of current affairs articles are now compiled by automated processes and the headline generated by the same then stuffed through some bot to produce the most clickable headline. It's all about optimising the click through and maximising page impressions for ad serving.
[00:48:25] <Deucalion> Kinda depressing
[00:49:51] <Deucalion> Once you see how it works, you can't help but be depressed and despondent that this BS is how the majority of society gets their diet of news and opinions.
[00:51:10] <Deucalion> It also makes it easy to see why it is so easy to manipulate entire society at large to think one way or another with very little effort relative to the input. Leverage in effect.

[02:42:31] <AzumaHazuki> i hope the for sake of all humanity it works, works well, and works safely
[03:08:53] <AmyMalik> yeh
[03:31:51] <Deucalion> It's just GUI inception at this point. There's only so many ways you can place the components and make them accessible... put the bar at the top, the bottom, right, left - let the user choose where to put the bar. Design what buttons should be on the bar, then let the user decide. It's done, it has been done for over 2 decades, why this reinvention of the wheel persists is beyond me. These are not stupid people who burn life to design this stuff.
[03:31:51] <Deucalion> find another thing to work on and be creative. PLEASE AND THANKS.
[03:32:01] <AzumaHazuki> ??
[03:32:11] <Deucalion> ?
[03:32:25] <AmyMalik> nyee.
[03:32:48] <Deucalion> nyet comrade?
[03:35:23] <t3> the problem of lifetimes of productive activity being "wasted" redesigning interfaces is inherent to capitalism
[03:36:17] <t3> r&d is only very rarely profitable, copycatting with minor aesthetic differences is often rewarded
[03:38:09] <Runaway1956> lol Deucalion - they don't have another thing to work on. No creativity, all they can do is rake over other people's work, and try to make it their own.
[03:38:44] <Deucalion> R&D is often profitable for many companies bringing new product to market.
[03:39:01] <Runaway1956> Same reason we've had 5S, then 6 Sigma, then 6S, then same thing by another name
[03:39:11] <t3> why big pharma loves the US system; r&d expenses from government grants to universities, all profit to the corp
[03:40:30] <Deucalion> I feel bad for the creative souls who are trapped in re-designing a computer OS GUI.... short of transparencies, floaty effects they have nothing to work with... functionally it is done, it has been done for ages
[03:40:59] <AzumaHazuki> and its name is John Cena^W^W KDE Plasma
[03:41:54] <Deucalion> Runaway1956, the reason why 6 Sigma exists is to rinse you of hard earned money with certification.
[03:42:17] <AzumaHazuki> for real though, plasma is insane. it can look like anything and sometimes better than what it's mimicking
[03:46:41] <Deucalion> Its processing heavy though for what is effectively just an interface to what you want to run today. It's subjective of course but I see no point in a glorified desktop and menu system consuming system resources is 99.9% of the time I am not looking at the desktop of menu.
[03:47:03] <AzumaHazuki> plasma is weirdly light for all it does actually. i'm still really surprised
[03:47:59] <Deucalion> I'll have to revisit it
[03:48:12] <t3> you might appreciate this: https://github.com

[03:53:01] <Runaway1956> Huh - I'm wondering if Admin caught all the sock puppets. 11 downmods today.
[03:54:06] <Subsentient> AzumaHazuki: Men, I'm bi
[03:56:16] <AzumaHazuki> right, so could have been either
[03:56:28] <Subsentient> Touché
[03:57:09] <Subsentient> AzumaHazuki: You seem like a cultured person -- ever heard of Mgła?
[03:57:31] <AzumaHazuki> No, doesn't sound familiar
[03:57:57] <Subsentient> Damn. I definitely pegged you for a metalhead too
[03:58:13] <AzumaHazuki> i'm already really deaf, no need to wreck my hearing worse
[03:58:34] <Subsentient> Oof, all of metal just got burned
[04:00:22] <Subsentient> I've been ruining my ears with metal blasting in earbuds since I was in jr high and my hearing is still pretty good
[04:00:51] <AzumaHazuki> whereas I was born with an uneven moderate-to-severe loss peaking at 70dB in the 1-4 KHz range ><
[04:01:49] <Subsentient> AzumaHazuki: Damn, I'm sorry to hear that. :^(
[04:01:58] <AzumaHazuki> or not hear it as the case may be :V
[04:02:03] <Subsentient> Lol
[04:02:23] <AzumaHazuki> i compensate by lipreading. which works great in the middle of a pandemic
[04:02:26] <t3> I question whether hearing loss due to exposure is something that actually occurs often
[04:02:36] <Subsentient> AzumaHazuki: Ouchhhh
[04:03:52] <t3> i've always been tested well above average for hearing, have worked in many loud places, still test very well
[04:08:07] <AmyMalik> Six sigma as a philosophy is good. Certification thereto is not.
[04:10:45] <Runaway1956> I don't have a real problem with 6 Sigma - what irritates hell out of me, is that it gets rebranded and resold every few years
[04:11:03] <Runaway1956> by young idiots who think they done the next best thing to inventing sex
[04:12:59] <Runaway1956> @ t3 - I can date my initial hearing loss, and yes it was due to exposure
[04:13:43] <Runaway1956> and, of course, hearing loss is progressive, you can keep losing it, but never get any back
[04:16:34] <AmyMalik> depends on if the cause is reversible. if the cause is some kind of damage that's caused cell death, it's probably not going to be something you can reverse
[04:21:27] <t3> I've only had /very/ slight loss in low frequencies since I was a child, and much less than I've been led to believe should happen from working in loud factories without properly using protection
[04:21:48] <AmyMalik> hm
[04:21:56] <t3> of course, specialists are also surprised, si I might just be an outlier
[04:22:07] <AmyMalik> always

[06:32:50] <t3> I find it strange that they appear to think "we can't remember pain", though
[06:35:44] <t3> my most easily recalled memories are painful experiences
[06:51:15] <AmyMalik> the brain is both a computer and a transducer
[07:05:18] <FatPhil> it's an exceptionally low precision computer
[07:07:52] <FatPhil> we're kinda moving in that direction, the "bits" war mostly stopped at 64. GPUs and then AI have helped push things back to lower precision.

[08:35:55] <Runaway1956> Weird - the few cams I find with images seem to update about 1 frame per minute or so -
[08:39:47] <FatPhil> I'm watching yesterday's Formula 1 quali, rain there making things interesting, Spa's often fun like that.
[08:40:21] <FatPhil> I should check the Belgian weather forcast for the race later
[08:43:42] <Runaway1956> I'm giving up on webcams - half of those that even load have static daytime images
[08:44:10] <Runaway1956> none of them are running in real time - a single frame in a minute or so ain't 'live'
