🧠 Alzheimer’s Reversal Achieved in Animal Models
A breakthrough that redefines hope in Alzheimer’s research — suggesting that full neurological recovery might one day be within reach.
Scientists at Case Western Reserve University have shown that restoring NAD+ balance in the brain can reverse Alzheimer’s pathology and cognitive decline in mice. By administering the compound P7C3-A20, they achieved full neurological recovery even in advanced cases. The discovery challenges the long-standing belief that Alzheimer’s is irreversible and opens new possibilities for human treatment.

⚙️ Load and Store Forwarding in the Toy Optimizer
A rich technical exploration of compiler internals — both instructive and inspiring for those fascinated by JIT compilation and language implementation.
Bernstein Bear explores the compiler optimization technique of load/store forwarding within the Toy Optimizer. Through abstract interpretation, the approach reduces redundant memory operations by caching and invalidating loads as needed. The post includes detailed tests and refinements to the optimization pass, aiming to boost performance in intermediate representations such as Ruby’s ZJIT.
