ikrenji··on The effect of shingles vaccination at different stages of dementia
I don't understand this kind of reasoning. You don't think that the 100s of PhDs that worked on this would have accounted for the riskiness of adding a live chickenpox virus vs not adding it? People need to start trusting experts more and do less of "common sense" over-thinking imo.

ikrenji··on Video game union workers rally against $55B private acquisition of EA
these companies are breaking the social contract. the society allows them and tolerates them making billions in profit as long as it's shared with the public in the form of good jobs. if you remove the latter part from the equation what's the point of these companies anymore? people are not gonna put up with this and something is gonna give sooner or later.
ikrenji··on Anti-aging breakthrough: Stem cells reverse signs of aging in monkeys
I skimmed the article looking for a lifespan plot. Didn't see one. Instead it is replaced by a "proprietary multidimensional primate aging clock measurement". Take it as you will...

ikrenji··on Job-seekers are dodging AI interviewers
Their AI can talk to my AI.
ikrenji··on My experience with Claude Code after two weeks of adventures

ikrenji··on Hypercapitalism and the AI talent wars
none. especially since once AGI is created the economy as we now it ceases to exist
ikrenji··on Switching Pip to Uv in a Dockerized Flask / Django App

ikrenji··on My AI skeptic friends are all nuts
the AI is going to use crypto libraries just like you would?
ikrenji··on The ‘white-collar bloodbath’ is all part of the AI hype machine
Let's face it ~ almost all work will be automated in the next 50 years. Either capitalism dies or humanity dies
ikrenji··on Interviewing a software engineer who prepared with AI
let me get this straight ~ someone took the time to prepare for the interview and you basically penalized them for the preparation? people are truly ridiculous

ikrenji··on Age and cognitive skills: Use it or lose it
I don't understand this sentiment. You have no problem spending $800 billion in tax payer money on military in a country that hasn't fought a defensive war in 200 years but as soon as the same concept is applied to education or healthcare it's somehow wrong?
