Could this be applicable and available to the public within a reasonable time horizon? My mother is dealing with a brain tumor located in the pons, and no surgeons will operate because of its location, as the risk is too high. Radiation treatments have also been exhausted and have already caused some necrosis. There was another form of light-based therapy, but it is experimental and carries an incredibly high risk as…

Getting the US through the skull bone is next to impossible due to the acoustic impedance mismatch with surrounding tissues. As a stranger I'm deeply sorry for your situation, and thought your question should be answered somehow... If you want to dig a little bit, the team of Mathias Fink in Paris explored "time reversal" techniques to get through the skull: one have to emmit from the tumor location, listen with a hu…

What are the chances that breaking up a tumor this way seeds cancer elsewhere in the body? Welp I put it to you like this - if you DON'T use this then you have a gorillion cancer cells among which very likely one genetically predisposed to adventure throughout the body as turbocancer. If you use this, or radiotherapy, or whatever, presumably there is just a lump of dead tissue where the cancer was, signifying at best…

Not mother (or one of the universal mascots of fecundity[1]) only something to feed the festive fire https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45955649 (By way of an "explanation" of the "3 boxes") [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_hares > There are two possible and perhaps concurrent reasons why the three hares may have found popularity as a symbol within the church. Firstly, it was believed that the hare was herma…

In response to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23475069 It seems that "third-person first" encapsulates the ALARM theory perfectly.. (Shannon's game "antibootstraps": if the machine loses twice in a row, it acts to prevent the human from learning its own strat. The "insurance[1]-dual" ? :) In https://mastodon.social/@UP8/113189883152005058 The bottom box is labelled "emptiness, void, etc". its archaic nature wou…

In games where any given strategy is potentially exploitable, I guess the meta is (a) rapidly decide if you're playing against a fish, or if you are the fish; then (b) if against a fish, exploit their strat, or (c) if you are the fish, run a mixed strat, to at least avoid yours being exploitable. Bottom box as primordial "third person" would go along with egolessness in various traditions (including 李小龙's "be water,…
