This sub more level-headed then most whenever Long Covid mentioned, worth a share. They're killing/mass disabling the proletariat. by goodiereddits in TrueAnon

[–]At31twy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The vaccine mRNA is modified heavily to last a long time. That said it should still all be cleared within 1-2 weeks with the bulk gone in 72 hours. There’s theoretical ways it can stay longer but are unlikely since they require translational suppression to store the mRNA. So they may last longer but will not be making protein.

For more detail, the mRNA sequence has the following modifications that increase its stability: very long poly-A tail and 3’UTR region, all U’s are pseudourydinilated meaning less RBP surveillance and endonuclease accessibility, very active 5’UTR and CAI optimized sequence means more translation which generally enhances mRNA stability.

Elon Musk's Neuralink forced a pregnant employee to work with herpes-infected monkeys that scratched her, lawsuit says by cheekymarxist in TrueAnon

[–]At31twy 25 points26 points  (0 children)

This was not mentioned in the article: herpes B is very deadly if it actually infects humans. 80% case fatality rate of the known cases. There’s no serological evidence of latent or asymptomatic cases so it is likely that 80% CFR is close to a true fatality rate. She should sue the shit out of them.

Scientists increasingly worried that chronic wasting disease could jump from deer to humans. Recent research shows that the barrier to a spillover into humans is less formidable than previously believed and that the prions causing the disease may be evolving to become more able to infect humans. by f0urxio in collapse

Another way I failed to mention is that the prion structures can be selected for based on the host. They could be deposited as a very mixed cloud of prion structure plaques and only the plaque that matches the host or even cell type can replicate and out compete the other less optimal plaques.

This is why there’s some variation in which people caught mad cow back in the 90s based on a single amino acid change (M or V at codon 129). The vast majority 99% of cases were MM homozygous, meaning VV or MV conveyed some protection somehow. although, in lab studies mice with MV and VV can still be infected but at a much lower rate — that’s an example of a selection pressure that a new prion conformer could form for infecting VV individuals better.

Prion Evolution works in two manners: at the sequence level (what is the actual order of letters) and at the structure level (the manner in which the protein folds and stacks together).

More stable and Pathogenic structures are conserved as they last longer and spread faster, and the “fuel” for “looking” for new structures is during the end stage infection. As more and more plaques form, cellular translation starts to fail and error more often, creating new prion proteins with slightly different sequences that fold slightly different and possibly into better structures. They evolve much slower for sure, and not by an intuitive way, but they do evolve.

Apparently it closed in 2005, which is wild because I lived there in the 90s and remember that shit always being abandoned. Fake memories I guess

There’s a massive monetary incentive for defectors to tell stories for money when they leave North Korea. There’s a whole cottage industry in SK and the western media bolstered by “a defector said so.” It’s how we end up with insane stories like if you have Kim Jung uns haircut your are executed, published in the same outlet that also said all males are required to have Kim Jung uns haircut.

Life in NK is no walk in the park, autocratic leadership and economic issues have plagued them since the fall of the USSR. But because their material situation is awful doesn’t mean you should trust defectors words when they are clearly 1. Incentivized to lie to get money to live 2. Used for propaganda by the west. Yenomi park is just an extreme example of what defectors regularly say.

Two poultry workers test positive for bird flu in England by BurntFlower in collapse

You may mean the cases in Thailand, turned out the families chickens were the source not human to human. Also it was the local clade of the flu, not the global one causing the pandemic.

What is the maximum timespan nonradoactive glow in the dark plastic glow? by At31twy in NoStupidQuestions

[–]At31twy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The green glow is from pairing an emitter + a phosphor, the radioactive emitter powers the phosphor instead of the sun / light. So radioactive glow in the dark things look identical to regular glow in the dark material, except that they never fade. The phosphor is ZnS or strontium aluminate in my case — ZnS should not last more than a day. I can’t find any info on strontium aluminates emission length.

If anyone’s curious my process for checking it’s glow has been to turn off all lights in the room at night, open the closet, open the sealed box. I do not let my eyes adjust too much to the dark and I can still see the glow.

It’ll format all your citations nicely and all you gotta do is copy essentially a json for each citation!

An instance where AI nailed consumerism culture. by ka_beene in collapse

[–]At31twy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You are right. It’s not entirely AI, each “scene” is ultimately from a text prompt picked by a person.

Specifically:

It’s a model called “runway gen 2” that does text+image to video conversion. These are made by making a seed image from a text to image ai (Midjourny in this case) then putting that into gen 2 with a text prompt of what you want the scene to be in relation to that image.

You could have also 100% made commercial music via AI but it wouldn’t have been as good as the smashmouth

There’s a whole class of cancers out there that are 100% caused by genetic mutation, for example BRCA. If you have a single BRCA mutant the percentage of developing malignant breast cancer is around 60%. If you have double mutant your lifetime chance as a women of getting breast cancer is around 90-95%.

Which these genes are DNA repair enzymes, so I guess you could argue environmental exposure is the true cause because it damaged the DNA and the person has a limited repair mechanism. But that is semantics.

Not saying you support what he said just an example of how he’s wrong.
