I see where he discusses it. He said it only works for a small group and not for him. He’s mentions trying drugs that target EGFR mutations, which I believe tries to stop the blood supply to the tumor. Targeting specific protein receptors,

Have you discussed anything about targeted therapies? For example, how the different genetic makeup of some tumors are used to treat them. Keytruda comes to mind. https://www.keytruda.com/ Antibody drug conjugates also se

We went through all this 2 years ago with Meta. People just dump on a company all at once. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33529838 Intel has a bigger problem because they are building fabs and chips but they’ve been w

Yes, it’ll take a few years for Intel’s fabs to match TSMC. $20 billion and 2-3 years per fab.

We gave them the money this year. They are building fabs. This stuff takes years. One fab can cost $20 billion.

The Chips Act isn’t about creating jobs, we are trying to reduce our dependency on chips made in Taiwan, which produces 90% of all advanced chips. Intel is the only American company that is currently capable of addressing this problem. Othe

I’m fine losing the dividend. Fabs are expensive.

Sounds like they are still trying to use lanasterol: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36484206/ I see stories about this being used for cataracts going back almost a decade. Medicine advances so slowly.

Build a green grid. Don’t need a genius for that. The conversation for the last 25 years: “Let’s build nuclear power plants. It takes a decades. Not enough time.” Recently the twist was added: “And by the way solar and wind are cheaper” Wel

I don’t know Rust but even if the Rust is just as unsafe in certain blocks, simply being translated to Rust removes a lot of corporate resistance to adopt the language. Getting people to adopt a new language can be a lot of work. I remembe

How early can it detect colon cancer? The thing is avoiding surgery requires catching the tumor when it’s a small polyp. You get chemotherapy if your tumor reaches a lymph node. I think the tests are great but the colonoscopy was a breeze

“The test missed 17% of cancers, performance that is on par with stool-based tests.” I took a stool-based test about 6 years ago and passed. Yesterday I got back from surgery to remove a colon tumor that was discovered about 3 weeks ago. Co

I didn’t say Trump was better for him. I just explained that many Republicans won’t currently buy electric vehicles. It should not be difficult to figure out the rest.

I think he’s trying to save X and Tesla. EVs are political because of subsidies and X is a worthless cesspool. Politicians got way ahead of themselves by setting deadlines, like 2035, to phase out ICE vehicles, before EVs became sufficientl

It would be easy to demonstrate. Obviously, and clearly no one wants to waste money. By the way, 100% of the time I make my observation, someone makes a similar comment as yours. Considering I’ve been making my observation for decades, I’m

Just an arbitrary metric. We should probably consider the cost to society then base the funding on that. For example, Americans spent $200 billion in care in 2010, and this will increase to $500 billion in 2040. Perhaps as much as $1 tri

Maybe if millions found out a decade earlier, we’d greatly increase government funding to treat the disease. A few million more advocates for research. Seems like we currently spend about $4 billion a year. https://www.alz.org&#

Over 90% of the most advanced chips are made in Taiwan. Military conflict in the area will massively disrupt the global economy.

That’s garbage you found on the Internet that simply isn’t true. Dr William Makis isn’t an oncologist either. He seems to be a radiologist. And this isn’t his only conspiracy theory. https://www.reuters.com/article/fa
