GOOD NEWS! Researchers have discovered a powerful antibody, known as 04_A06, that is able to neutralize 98.5% of MORE THAN 300 different HIV strains AND permanently reduce HIV viral load to undetectable levels, making it one of the broadest-acting antibodies against HIV identified to date.

45 years ago, today, I won the National Atari 2600 Space Invaders Championship #atari

SimTower was one of my faves growing up — definitely need to get around to playing the sequel ^^

Well now, would you look at that?

A massive study of NEARLY 300,000 people in the United States found that receiving an updated 2024-2025 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine REDUCED people’s risk of severe disease AND death in ALL age groups, REGARDLESS of immunity from prior infection or vaccination.

FDA Announces Nationwide Recall of ADHD Medication—Check Your Cabinets Now Sun Pharmaceutical Industries has recalled several lots lisdexamfetamine dimesylate capsules, a generic form of Vyvanse, after testing found they failed to dissolve properly.

As a headsup for anyone on Vyvanse, you should go check your lot numbers.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a cancer vaccine that has shown STUNNING results, PREVENTING up to 88% of MULTIPLE aggressive cancers by harnessing dual-pathway nanoparticles that train the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells. In some cases, it COMPLETELY prevented metastasis.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a new mRNA vaccine that has been shown to suppress abnormal blood vessel growth in the retina, offering hope to MILLIONS of patients with age-related vision loss. The vaccine triggered strong antibody responses that REDUCED retinal damage by UP TO 85%.

Well now, would you look at that?

A massive, 26-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 2.4 MILLION people in Sweden found found NO EVIDENCE to support a causal link between acetaminophen (the API in Tylenol) use during pregnancy and increased risk of autism, ADHD, OR intellectual disability in children.

@robconery.com Random question: Do you offer a classroom or textbook-style license for A Curious Moon? I was thinking of facilitating an in-person short course cohort based around the text and videos, but could only find the option to purchase as an individual.

I am reminded of the AI assistant from the cutscenes in the Ace Combat 7 DLC missions — if the model doesn't think the human-in-the-loop's hypothesis is good, it says so ^^;

(I also think the quote-collage visualization scene is a neat speculative touch)

GOOD NEWS! A new cancer vaccine has shown progress in triggering POWERFUL and LASTING immune responses in patients with pancreatic AND colorectal cancer. The vaccine, known as ELI-002 2P, targets mutant KRAS proteins AND had a huge impact on PREVENTING or DELAYING cancer recurrence in patients.

I see, that’s unfortunate. I was hoping Pipewire would at least make things easier to config, compared with past efforts using just Pulse or JACK.

Also, I hear you about choosing between different miseries — I feel stuck on the Mac. We’ve really gotten ourselves into a PC pickle haven’t we…

(reads through masto thread)

Regarding audio routing, has Pipewire been lackluster for you?

From the outside looking in, Pipewire seems to support the same kind of virtual routing that Core Audio can do on the Mac.

GOOD NEWS! For the first time ever, Huntington's disease has been successfully treated. A groundbreaking new miRNA treatment, AMT-130, slowed the progression of the disease by 75%. These results are likely to support the first approval of a genetic treatment for the rare neurodegenerative condition.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have made a HUGE breakthrough towards a UNIVERSAL antiviral. By targeting sugar molecules found on the surface of many viruses that SHARE structural similarities, they identified FOUR compounds that successfully BLOCKED infections from SEVEN different viruses.

Congrats to you and the team! Playdate seasons feel like a spiritual successor to Satellaview — fun little surprises that everyone gets access to at the same time ^^

@lpil.uk Looks like Bases in Obsidian will be getting an API either the ability to create new views obsidian.md/changelog/20...

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have unveiled a promising new vaccine that generates a powerful immune response against HIV and other viruses including SARS-CoV-2 and influenza with just ONE dose. By combining immune-boosting adjuvants, the vaccine encourages the body to generate more antibody variations.

It was meeting an out trans person that helped me realize I myself was trans.

It was other out trans people that helped me navigate transitioning.

And it was even more out trans people who inspired me to keep going when times were tough.

Now I am an out trans person, and I hope to inspire others.
