FDA Strips Health Risk Warnings from Menopause Hormone Therapy. Boy, this issue is more nuanced. The real risk for breast cancer was the simultaneous use of estrogen and progesterone together, as in PremPro. The risk is lower with estrogen alone as it is more of a tumor promoter than a carcinogen. But there is still the risk of endometrial cancer. But it's nice that the FDA is reviewing the recommendation, as it should be doing. Long overdue.

The FBI wants to know who is running the archive.is website. I didn't realize it was a secret.
––– 凄い ––– This is funny. 60 Minutes had an episode where this Harvard breast cancer researcher is upset because her funding is cutoff, and the segment makes it seem like her research is absolutely vital and critical to breast cancer work. A colleague puts it into perspective:
It's refreshing to see such honesty.––– 凄い –––
Who knew that blocking the thyroid receptor β would slow prostate cancer growth? "NH-3 produced dose-dependent tumor growth inhibition, reaching about 80 percent at 3 mg/kg with no overt toxicity in body weight or organ histology. Oral dosing was effective too." Sounds like a winner.

South Korean scientists think that the expansion of the universe is slowing down, contrary to the orthodoxy. Wonder what Sabine Hossenfelder thinks of this.

Seattle's mayoral election has counted long enough so that Katie Wilson is now ahead. Now the Supreme Court is going to weigh in on whether counting ballots after election day is legal. It might end up being just for federal elections, though. Seattle will be Mamdani-doomed if Wilson wins.

Japanese scientists can turn body fat into bone, that can be used to heal fractures, such as in the spine. This would be great for kyphoplasties and vertebroplasties.

This is why I'm wary of AI. When a shipping company sends a tracking code to your iPhone, Apple will snatch that code and put it into the URL https://trackingshipment.apple.com/... that it wants you to click. Now they have a record of what you purchased. Creepy.

Puter.js. Could this be the missing link between developing for AI and developing for the Web that I've been waiting for? That was simpler than using Vercel and more robust than using Gradio, and didn't resort to using Huggingface Spaces?

Meta's Yann LeCun is leaving to start a startup. Seems like a lot of good people are leaving Meta. What does it mean?

Are anxiety and associated disorders tied to low brain levels of choline? Seems like something that would have been noticed long ago. And I doubt that anxiety can be ameliorated by increasing one's choline intake. What if lowered levels of choline was the brain's response to increased anxiety, rather than the cause? Are we fueling something we shouldn't be?
