Bristol Myers Squibb, an industry stalwart in need of a hit, is betting a pill called Cobenfy can become the first approved medicine for the millions of Americans diagnosed with psychosis related to Alzheimer’s disease.
That case rests almost entirely on a single clinical trial, conducted before the DVD was invented, in which its striking benefits were derailed by damning side effects.
Later this year, Bristol will get the results from three pivotal studies designed to make good …

#BumDayMonday #GreekRomanArt

Photograph of a Greek Gold Aphrodite Hairpin dated to the 1st century BCE.

This long and elegant gold hairpin is adorned with a charming figurative scene: positioned at the top of a Corinthian capital featuring an abundance of acanthus leaves, a small Eros offers the necessary support to the goddess Aphrodite who rests above him, her foot balanced over a dolphin. Eros holds a mirror in his hands as the nude goddess appears to adorn herself, adjusting one of her anklets to complement the snake-…

I made an experimental flan, where instead of using sugar in the custard mix, I converted that sugar to caramel (in addition to the caramel coating the bowl) and then dissolved that caramel into the cooling scalded milk.
The experiment was a success, if you like caramel.
I did this one from memory. 1.5c sucrose split into two parts, 4 cups milk, 4 large eggs, 1 yolk, 1/4 t salt, 1 T vanilla, 350-375F, 1 hour in a baño maria, lay a sheet of aluminum foil on it for most of that ti…

Strategic Experimentation with Private Payoffs
J\'er\^ome Renault, Eilon Solan, Nicolas Vieille
https://arxiv.org/abs/2512.06180 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2512.06180 https://arxiv.org/html/2512.06180
arXiv:2512.06180v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: We study a strategic experimentation game with exponential bandits, in which experiment outcomes are private. The equilibrium amount of experimentation is always higher than in the benchmark case where experiment outcomes are publicly observed. In addition, for pure equilibria, the equilibrium amount of experimentation is at least socially optimal, and possibly higher. We provide a tight bound on the degree of over-experimentation. The analysis rests on a new form of encouragement effect, according to which a player may hide the absence of a success to encourage future experimentation by the other player, which incentivizes current experimentation.
