#Vibecoding gems

Personal experience (your mileage may vary): reactogenic side effects of mNEXSPIKE is between Nuvaxovid (least) and COMIRNATY / SPIKEVAX (more/most).

Lol, this #vibecoding advice is solid

Kicking off our #Nanopore sequencing core at the UNM site of the SW CACTI clinical and translational science center.

Based and I would not mind the nuclear Renaissance that hopefully will be funded before AI croaks

I have no idea which of the 8 disks RHEL decided to install itself at.

Grab popcorn as the premiums of the individual healthcare plans for 2026 are announced. Looking at the number of layoffs and the age distribution of those being laid off, many more people will have to transition from an employer to a pricey individual plan during the midterms.

This is where it gets interesting : at a word size of 1 bit, multiplication is just logical and. So is all multiplication just logical conjunction? Whereas the owner of the site is unlikely to be aware of the connection, first principle derivation of […]

Packing Costco lunch because inflation, weight loss and intermittent fasting (which is just caloric restriction)

Some of the conversations about #longcovid (LC) are delusional, frankly wrong and will actively harm people.

Learn to think through the groups of possibilities first after loosely defining #longcovid as the sequeala of the acute infection (perceived as a respiratory infection with some extra […]

Until next year leaves (but at this stage, every leaf is a flower as a philosopher one said)

Strong Trantor vibes now

Perfect example of an LLM output of coherent parts (sentences) summing up to an incoherent whole (paragraph).

Imagine this playing out at a larger scales by those who have adopted these noisy stochastic parrots at scale.

Now that FINE-ONE has shown that #finerenone ⬇️ proteinuria in #ckd w type 1 diabetes #t1d, it'll be difficult for insuranfe companies to deny. But what about the egfr trajectories shown today at #kidneywk?
Reflective of false stabilization of egfr on placebo or something else?

I repurposed my old LG V20 as a portable usable small tablet as it has a wider screen than the LG I am using as a phone (and it has a removable battery). LG had a very solid smartphone line that fell prey to the marketing strategy of its competitors.

Don't get to see much on X/Twitter about the election results. People left or #grokedsuddenly?

It is just insane, how severely #Intel kneecapped i7's for scientific work. The 11th gen i7 offered the AVX512 instruction set which DOUBLED throughput compared to the previous and the NEXT i7 gen. To get the same throughput that this i7 delivers in our […]

I am honestly impressed by the SIMDe (SIMD everywhere) library

https://github.com/simd-everywhere/simde

It simplified considerably some #bioinformatics relevant code I am writing since I don't have to reinvent the wheel and use complicated preprocessor directives and macros to figure out where […]

Every single night the quality of my AI generated slop code (Grok through Githug copilot) goes down substantially and reproducibly. Is it because most people use Grok to generate pork after hours, ie the 2020s version of Twitter after dark?

"for the rest of us who don’t have the technical knowledge and time to follow his accomplishments, his advice is to “Never use your primary WiFi network for IoT devices” and to “Treat them as strangers in your home.” " […]

When my 14 y/o Twitter account was banned in 2024 after a hack, I lost all #meded posts. But in #slideshare, I found my 2017 presentation, the year after I started my off-label use of #sglt2i in kidney disease. I'm glad I got most things right back then […]

The eff? A bunch of the old #NephTwitter not only switched to #LinkedIn but there are more active there than in other platforms, forcing us normies to deal with the lunatics (venture capital folk, founders and now AI botlicking cheerleaders) who frequent that social media space.

Farewell #RECOVER (I participated in the acute #COVID19 cohort).
It has been a great experience for me to see the resolution of post-covid sequelae over 24 months. Hopefully the new phase will deliver treatments to those who are still suffering.

It is insane that Trofym Lysenko killed more Chinese than Russians
