New comment by noleary in "UCLA discovers first stroke rehabilitation drug to repair brain damage (2025)"

noleary — Tue, 12 May 2026 20:47:51 +0000

There've been some interesting new developments in cell therapies over the last few years. Bemdaneprocel from BlueRock Therapeutics is now into Phase 3 trials for Parkinson's, for example. The essential idea is to implant some dopaminergic neuron precursors to grow new cells in place of cell death. Still a long way from the kind of general stroke treatment you're describing, but regenerative neuroscience is looking pretty promising.

New comment by noleary in "Show HN: PgDog – Scale Postgres without changing the app"

noleary — Mon, 23 Feb 2026 18:19:45 +0000

> If you build apps with a lot of traffic, you know the first thing to break is the database.

Just out of curiosity, what kinds of high-traffic apps have been most interested in using PgDog? I see you guys have Coinbase and Ramp logos on your homepage -- seems like fintech is a fit?

New comment by noleary in "America has a tungsten problem"

noleary — Tue, 10 Feb 2026 03:38:43 +0000

FYI, Tungsten prices are quoted in metric ton units (MTUs) [1], which surprisingly aren't metric tons. They're actually 1% of a metric ton -- or 10kg. [2] So the price of Tungsten is actually 100x that.
