CRISPR Offers New Hope for Treating Diabetes

news.ycombinator.com Javier Carbajal 2025-10-24 01:45:28

Crispr gene-editing technology has demonstrated its revolutionary potential in recent years: It has been used to treat rare diseases, to adapt crops to withstand the extremes of climate change, or even to change the color of a spider’s web. But the greatest hope is that this technology will help find a cure for a global disease, such as diabetes. A new study points in that direction.

Show HN: I built a minimal Forth-like stack interpreter library in C

The Rise of Async Programming

19 August 2025 Ankur Goyal I spend a decent amount of time reviewing code I didn't write. An AI agent takes a detailed problem description, writes code (primarily Typescript, Rust, and Python), adds tests, and commits the changes to a branch. I tap back in when everything's ready for review. This used to feel like a futuristic scenario, but it's how I work now, and it's how many developers are starting to work.

Apple’s Big Bet to Eliminate the iPhone’s Most Targeted Vulnerabilities

Apple launched a slate of new iPhones on Tuesday loaded with the company's new A19 and A19 Pro chips.
