Typically, but no guarantee. And on what time frame, nobody knows.

There's no demographic data to back up that claim.

All you need is to 1. convert documents to embeddings (OpenAI or some other local library for this), 2. store all embeddings in an index like (SaaS like Pinecone or FAISS locally), 3. run query against embeddings. Just a document search is likely good enough, but if not you can use a completion algorithm in a simple LLM of the docs to generate answers.

They're both just based on langchain embedding and search logic from a built index. No real difference in the two except stylistic code approaches.

While unfortunate, that's a much better statistical outcome than getting COVID, for the hundreds of millions who got COVID and have some form of long COVID, and 4.55M dead as of today.

The article doesn't say what you think it says. Please post a link to a peer reviewed article that shows that natural immunity drives better reinfection outcomes and recovery rates than vaccines do.

That's not conflicting research and they very clearly state that this is not peer reviewed yet. I'd hold off on using this as the basis for any claim until then.

This was in the context of reinfections, read the context of the comments and the article. The argument being made is that because someone got infected with COVID, they should not need to get a vaccine because natural immunity provides better protection, which is clearly false per the CDC. You are less likely to get reinfected or wind up in the hospital, per the article: "The study of hundreds of Kentucky residents with previous infections through June 2021 found that those who were unvaccinated had 2.34 times the odds of reinfection compared with those who were fully vaccinated. The findings suggest that among people who have had COVID-19 previously, getting fully vaccinated provides additional protection against reinfection. Additionally, a second publication from MMWR shows vaccines prevented COVID-19 related hospitalizations among the highest risk age groups. As cases, hospitalizations, and deaths rise, the data in today’s MMWR reinforce that COVID-19 vaccines are the best way to prevent COVID-19."

> Months ago he was insisting that the people who had contracted COVID-19 and who had antibodies in their system may not need the vaccine. Now, we have a number of studies coming out to support that.

No such study exists, please link to the primary research. Vaccination always offers stronger protection than getting the virus [1], and more importantly, even if they offered equivalent protection for 99% of people, the portion of the additional 1% of people without a vaccine who show up at a hospital are going to be much sicker than the vaccinated with breakthrough infections and more likely to need to go or stay at a hospital for an extended period of time (29x more likely [2]), which our healthcare system cannot support. We've had to ration care and kick out cancer patients out of hospitals [3], who have subsequently died as a result of lack of care, but we should allow for limited resources to be used up by the willfully unvaccinated? I have personally had family members in need of critical care have care rationed due to hospitals being full with 99%+ unvaccinated folks. So much for the personal responsibility crowd living up to their slogans.

New comment by aioprisan in "IPv4 pricing"

aioprisan — Wed, 28 Jul 2021 12:57:22 +0000

This pricing is highway robbery, how is the incremental setup of an IP in a /29 (only 6 usable addresses out of 2^3=8) when setting up 8 (at $19/IP) total $152? I can see how the monthly rate would change, but upfront setup that high? I guess I won't be using Hetzner going forward..

When you can read the DOJ case filings and all the facts of the case, where he actually agreed that he did in fact commit crimes, there's no need to "hear from the accused's own mouth." You're just making excuses for someone's crimes in the name of some intellectual purity exercise. Do you also believe there were "good people on both sides" in Charlottesville?

New comment by aioprisan in "Moderna Covid vaccine candidate almost 95% effective, trials show"

aioprisan — Mon, 16 Nov 2020 21:50:04 +0000

I took your comment through to the logical conclusion of what you're suggesting, which is personal freedom and responsibility to not take precautions but that being linked with getting deprioritized if you then need a respirator or a bed compared to someone who did take precautions, you should then be lower on that list, because of the consequences you said you'd rather live with. Kind of idiotic, right? But hey if that's how you'd rather die, maybe do that in the woods than taking a whole cluster of people with you as an asymptomatic carrier.

And should those people who chose to endanger others and get the virus themselves be denied medical treatment? We're getting to capacity in many cities now. If we want to talk about taking personal responsibility, then they should see it through to the end, and not burden our medical system with care if they knew the risks but ignored them for their own choosing.

You probably consume less food in general or less fattening when it's spiced with peppers (i.e. less likely to eat spicy butter cream that plain butter in a dish and more likely to eat spicy soups that butter laden croissants). They haven't actually isolated anything about peppers, so likely something in the underlying population who self-selects this way.
