CC and the like it can accelerate your development if you know what you're doing, but “code faster than you can verify” is a trap. Use plan->execute->eval loops, TDD, git, and ruthless refactors so speed doesn’t become silent error propagation. www.neuroai.science/p/claude-cod...

Still more new NSP1 mutations in the BA.3.2 uploaded from the Netherlands today. We've never seen anything like this kind of rapid evolution in NSP1 (whose primary role is to shut down host-protein translation and degrade host mRNA).
I've labeled all BA.3.2-specific NSP1 muts here. 1/3

The large majority of COVID deaths are attributable to specific clear instances of negligence on the part of medical leaders, made directly against the advice of the world's top scientific experts, and on the basis of an understanding of science that was out of date by nearly a century.

No Covid infection is mild. We need layered mitigations because Covid vaccines were designed to reduce disease severity not necessarily prevent infection and any infection can cause long covid. Yet we are still being gaslighted on this!
