MM120, a pharmaceutical form of LSD, shown to reduce anxiety symptoms (2025)

Link: sciencedaily.com/releases/2025
Discussion: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4

Scientists discover a surprising way to quiet the anxious mind

Generalized anxiety disorder affects millions, often trapping sufferers in cycles of fear and isolation that conventional medications barely relieve. At UCSF, neuroscientist Jennifer Mitchell is testing a pharmaceutical form of LSD called MM120, which has shown striking results in reducing symptoms by promoting neuroplasticity and easing rigid thought patterns. In clinical trials, a single dose significantly outperformed standard treatments, offering hope to those who have found little relief elsewhere.

Why I Love freeBSD

freeBSD

Processing

I've only skimmed this nice post.
Thorough reading will follow later

Some highlights which resonate with me *as flageolets on a string instrument* are captured here in screenshots I've made on an Android

  • Many tools still work exactly as they did (decades ago)

  • The feeBSD handbook taught me an enormous ammount, more than many of my University courses, including things that had nothing to do with freeBSD specifically

  • This is vital

  • The handbook taught me the right approach

    understand first, act second

This is a principle I use since I've been a peuter (NL).

  • Analyze what occured
  • understand why it occured
  • find out under what circumstances it can occur
  • close or limit those conditions
  • fix the problem by repairing, cooling, modifying the break
  • analyse the proposed fix before implementing
  • Only replace when all other methods fail or repair is more expensive than replacement

CPU optimization: look at the datasheet until you find two assembly instructions that would produce a desirable result when their side-effects are combined.

Microcontroller optimization: look at the datasheet until you find two peripherals that would produce a desirable result when their side-effects are combined.

As a Certified Public Accountant I must at once warn you that this is a bad idea and also as a small business owner in tax services that grok is the most trustworthy of all of the AIs to just let you do whatever and when you need my number you know what it is

You should absolutely upload your financial information to grok. this is financial advice

llm 인공지능의 주요 소통 수단이 문자이다보니 그전까지 영상과 그림에 익숙하던 사람들이 문자로 소통하는 능력이 개선되는 예상치 못한 효과가 생긴다는 말을 보았습니다. 사실인지 모르겠지만 재미있는 관점입니다.

It's so insanely disrespectful for an AI agent to talk to real people without consent or at least disclosure. This is the type of stuff I'm hugely supportive of government regulation. The FCC must expand the definition of robocalling and TCPA-style regulation to online AI.

Still wild to me that the entire tech industry is just playing a massive game of AI chicken, hoping a competitor will be the first one to admit that this has all been a colossal waste of money and consumer goodwill.

Puppy pictures, as promised! This is Neva, she will be 5 months old in the end of this months. She grew so much since we got her. I'll start with the pictures of her when I first spotted her on rednote and will finish with the most current ones. She is very sweet, playful and super smart. She loves my older dog, Eddie and loves stealing socks.

Neva, when she was about 2 months. She is a little mutt with black and white pattern. This is a photo her rescuer posted on rednotea picture of Neva laying on a sofa at her rescuer's houseA picture of Neva laying near her bed. I took this picture during her first week with us.

If you like my indie star trek films, consider buying my free music or supporting me on kofi. Links in the bio. I am attempting to seek new peace. I have few resources, yet I endure in constant prayer. To what, perhaps? Oh, just that silent goddess I had missed, the dark of nothing woven into all... Relocation in process; still no employ nor stable housing.

Help or reach out if you can see me. Oh, I've felt so invisible for so long...

Aujourd'hui j'ai pris un pied incroyable.

J'ai du faire une heure 20 de handbike pour aller chercher un colis que Chronopost n'a pas livré.

Mais avec mon casque à corne, mon blouson patché de partout avec un "Live free, Ride free" dans le dos, mon patch This Machine Kills Fascists derrière le fauteuil, et une petite enceinte qui diffuse une playlist bien rock.
Les motards me saluent comme leur égal, les piétons me font des signes d'approbation.

Photo de moi, en fauteuil roulant, de dos. On distingue le patch Live free ride free dans mon dos, le patch This Machine Kills Fascists à l'arrière du fauteuil roulant. J'ai les cheveux longs et je porte un chapeau. Photo de moi, en fauteuil roulant au volant de mon handbike électrique. C'est un genre de grosse trotinette fixée à l'avant du fauteuil. J'ai un casque noir avec une visière, style casque d'aviateur, mais avec deux cornes rouges.

Of course the review failed (as usual, without a notification mail). Now they pick random APK files: remove one, then it's the next. Until the repo is empty, I guess. Snippet updated.

Disable "Safe" browsing, it's snake oil as you can see. We've been libeled now many times, always false positives. See gitlab.com/-/snippets/4909577# for how to disable it.

Of course all our APKs have been scanned, multiple times, with many engines. They're clean. Says even G's own scanner.
