- A newly published cohort study (PMID 38470385) reports that initiating ADHD medication is associated with a 21 % reduction in all-cause mortality (HR 0.79, 95 % CI 0.70–0.88).  
- Channel participants questioned the headline finding, arguing that the mortality benefit is driven almost entirely by fewer deaths coded as “accidental poisoning,” likely reflecting reduced fatal overdoses rather than broad health improvements.  
- Discussion framed the result as a cautionary example of how aggregate statistics can mask specific causal pathways—in this case, medication reducing impulsive drug misuse rather than improving general physiological resilience.  
- A link was shared to “stlite,” a port of the Streamlit Python analytics framework that compiles to WebAssembly via Pyodide, enabling fully client-side interactive data apps without a server.  
- No other technical topics, papers, or projects were substantively discussed during the logged period.
