Here's a better source, with video:

There's also a "Fact Check" article from Routers that says it is a "false allegation that COVID-19 mRNA vaccines are a form of gene therapy":

https://www.reuters.com/article/fact-check/bayer-executives-...

But the same article has the following quote from the above video, from Bayer's executive Stefan Oelrich:

“Ultimately the mRNA vaccines are an example for that cell and gene therapy. I always like to say, if we had surveyed two years ago in the public, ‘would you be willing to take gene or cell therapy and inject it into your body?,’ we would have probably had a 95% refusal rate. I think this pandemic has also opened many people’s eyes to innovation in the way that was maybe not possible before.”

So it seems Bayer (or at least, Stefan Oelrich from Bayer), indeed classifies the mRNA vaccines as gene therapy.

Interesting!

I just tried the quantized Q4_K_M from [1] in my RTX 2070 Super, it ran at 110 tok/s with 1800 tok/s prefill, and found the same solution to your prompt. It generated valid LaTeX for the answer but its reasoning trace uses mostly compact ASCII math notation. Took 3min 22s to answer, spending 22k tokens almost all on thinking.

“The growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs.”

If I'm reading the charts correctly, the incidence of infection after recovering from Covid is around 13-15 per 100k after 6-8 months, and after recovering from Covid + Vaccination is around 10-14 per 100k after 6-8 months.

So it seems like vaccination does not present a clear benefit for someone that recovered from Covid? (The confidence intervals overlap)

There's the pass-code extension for that:

A pass extension that obscures the filenames and folder hierarchy within your password store.

pass-code generates random filenames for each file in the password store and keeps the mapping in an encrypted file. This way, no valuable information is accessible even if your password store is leaked to the public (unless your GPG private keys were also leaked). Nevertheless, you should always ensure proper protection of your password store.

Isn't that the same thing as using function pointers in C?

You need the * to access the function the variable points to.

For group work there are a number of tools to do analytics on who did what etc so it make seeing how well the group has worked.

I teach a computer graphics course and that seems useful. What tools do you use?

Talk about scary! I managed to unintentionally delete all photos in my aunt's iPad. All I wanted to do was disable iCloud backups. And I am a postdoc in a CS department.
