“Glucose appears to vanish” i’m sure it does, the matter just does that

Best country in the wooooorrldd

It’s likely an impossible choice, between inept big four consultancy groups (that charge $$$, deliver little, and run everything through manual excel entry) vs palantir who likely will deliver results. I have no love for Palantir but at least they’re competent.

During covid, palantir had to elbow its way to sell to the UK govt and replaced dilapidated “solutions” from the big four.

Pssst they'll realise scientists hand out here too

Remote friendly is a life changer to young parents… and we saw what happened to that fairly quickly

This feels like a poorly controlled experiment: the reverse effect should be studied with a less empathetic model, to see if the reliability issue is not simply caused by the act of steering the model

Thank you! I did use an existing repo and forked it, so kudos to that guy

If it was possible to beat silicon valley competitors we'd see a lot more unicorns outside silicon valley. You certainly can hide but you can't run ;-)

Yeah this kind if work is usually meh. It’s unclear if the high concentration is physically relevant in humans, plus it’s not clear if it causes any other problems, and plus it’s not clear how it compares to existing treatments. So maybe promising but v v early

Isn't that being a little optimistic? After all if this was good news, it wouldn't be news :-)

Fully appreciating the point: antibody response is not the only response of the immune system.

The other story on HN right now is "AstraZeneca vaccine doesn't prevent B1351 Covid in early trial" – a finding consistent with the results of this study (yes, yes, AZ vaccine != Pfizer/Moderna).

So what becomes interesting is: does the AZ vaccine not produce the same T-cell response as Pfizer/Moderna, or are these vaccines in fact broadly similar (mutants don't affect T-cells but affect antibodies). The latter wouldn't be consistent with Skelly 2021.

The article has already been peer-reviewed and published in the "Cell" journal

"TIL: Rafael Quintero, a mexican drug trafficker, once tortured two students with ice picks and buried them alive for accidentally walking into his private dinner party."

Some parties just get out of hand...
