  • Last.fm used to have a Pandora radio aspect to it, but lost the race with YouTube music, Spotify, etc.

    The thing that last.fm had that made them unique is what they call scrobbling. Basically they kept track of what users were listening to and made links between user preferences that you can use to find new music. I mean they used to, and they still do too, but with far far fewer users. Think Spotify’s year in review, but running constantly.

    Honestly, it’s pretty great. I still hop on from time to time, because it’s a great way to find less well known bands. Makes me sad for when it was better used though…


  • It’s science reporting and not immune to headline inflation, but it’s not a lie to say there were measured improvements to patient cognition.

    There’s a developing consensus that electric stimulation has therapeutic potential in restoring brain function (from basal ganglion to transdermal stim). But if you want the full study findings here, I course this article because it looks the DOI address at the bottom.

    Given how few (none) treatments they’re are for TBIs right now, this is pretty exciting stuff to me at least.
