Again, the insistence with cherry-picking results. Shame.
Conclusions: Common vaccines were not associated with a decreased risk of dementia. Unmeasured confounding and detection bias likely accounted for the observed increased risk.
"Results: Common vaccines were associated with an increased risk of dementia (OR, 1.38 [95% CI, 1.36-1.40]), compared with no exposure."
It's not even a long scroll to get to the results

A lovely niche application! I admire folks who put such effort into very particular solution spaces.
My son is considering switching to a different startup. So of course he built an app to evaluate startups for viability by several metrics. Used it to guide his applications. I ask him, would that app be a viable startup? He said, just a minute, and went and asked it Are you a viable startup? It said Hell no (or words to that affect).
The reason? The space has five or six competitors already. I asked, are any of them the whale in that space? No, all smaller efforts. Then I suggested it was actually an ideal place for a startup that smoothed out the wrinkles in existing flows and made it easier for folks to use. A few smaller competitors isn't "Hell no", its "market validation".
Hell, people reading this post may do that just out of curiosity.
It's bad timing, to be sure - somebody was just murdered. But many people may be interested out of morbid curiosity, intellectual interest or because say they are a writer (writers look up the most astonishing things).
I often wonder if a jury is capable of appreciating the role of coincidence in evidence.
Special sauce? Yes. It could do floating point on a chip.
CPU's didn't have that, not the microprocessor kind. They were 'micro' which meant, barely any room for the registers, instruction decode and execution units. The float point instructions on the 8086 were explicitly to manipulate the 8087.
An unexpected issue with the 8087 was, it caused issues when multi-processing. That is, any kernel with a process scheduler had to swap the 8087 state along with the rest of the registers.
No, the normal software noticed all the missing or misbehaving systems and began to throw warning and exception. That title sounds like he was targeted. Clickbait.
I saved every issue. Boxed them up when I moved out of my childhood home. Moved them 13 times and they ended up in a shed in field on my farm (some success in Silicon Valley) where they mouldered into rot over 20 years.
Hard to express what that monthly compendium of electronic and computer hobbyist articles meant, to a farm boy thousands of miles from anywhere.
I asked for a monitor stand at work, back in the day. No money! So I went to the loading dock, found a wooden pallet for the little AC units we installed in racks, put that on my desk. Voila - monitor stand.
We guess how AI will be used by trying to adapt it to workflows. But in a more perfect world, AI would take on the jobs we DON'T want to do, and we'd continue doing the pleasurable ones.
For instance, dont use AI to run a wrecking ball. Use it to run the book and make the deals so I can have the time and opportunity to run the wrecking ball.
