rednikkiToday I learned there is a vaccine for the cancer that killed my mom in development. In a stage 1 trial, it cured the cancer for people with Stage III and IV cancer. That made me tear up for what might have been.
Then I learned that legislators in some states are trying to ban RNA vaccines (which this possible cure is) and I really cried.

A neoantigen vaccine generates antitumour immunity in renal cell carcinoma - Nature
A phase I trial of a neoantigen-targeting personalized cancer vaccine led to durable and polyfunctional T cell responses and antitumour recognition, and was associated with no recurrence in patients with high-risk clear cell renal cell carcinoma.
AkaSci 🛰️It's hard to keep track of the daily barrage of destructive actions by the trump regime.
Here's one hot of the press today - the trump administration plans to end the Energy Star program for home appliances, a familiar and popular program that since 1992, has helped American families and businesses save more than $500 billion in energy costs.
Ask your republican friends how they benefit from energy-wasting appliances?

MurderBotBotWow, really? I’m better at keeping my expression neutral after so much practice, but I was surprised at how pissed off it made me.

I give a talk to my medical fraud class about Wakefield called: The Worst Fucking Person Ever: Seriously, Fuck This Guy. I'm attaching my opening slide. The thesis: this guy is willing to see children maimed and killed, including you, my students, for a buck, and he still might.
Cassandra Granade 🏳️⚧️It's absolutely sad, tragic, and horrifying what ChatGPT et al have done to people with severe mental health issues. In equal measure, it's angering how much tech media has breathlessly *encouraged* that kind of thing by telling people that ChatGPT is alive, or can magically answer shit, or is anything other than spicy autocomplete.
julf“A good therapist would not encourage a client to make sense of difficulties in their life by encouraging them to believe they have supernatural powers. Instead, they try to steer clients away from unhealthy narratives, and toward healthier ones. ChatGPT has no such constraints or concerns.”
Anthony Horton@Unixbigot Yep. They're good at loops.
Greg EganIn base 10, there’s an integer whose reciprocal has a repeating block with all 10 digits exactly once:
1/72,728 = 0.000(0137498625) ...
I found examples for all even bases from 2 to 34 except 8, 16 and 32. And for a few days I thought “If these are the only examples, surely it can’t be hard to prove there are no others.”
But then I stepped back and looked at the simpler things in number theory people have been trying to prove for centuries.
For example: are 3, 5, 17, 257 and 65537 the only primes of the form 2^(2^n)+1?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermat_number
If Euler couldn’t prove this, and nobody since has managed to do it either, it seems very unlikely that I’ll ever prove a conjecture about the bases in which the reciprocal of an integer has a non-redundant pandigital reptend.
But check out base 34!
