How the cavefish lost its eyes—again and again

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-10-29 04:51:50

Time and again, whenever a population was swept into a cave and survived long enough for natural selection to have its way, the eyes disappeared. “But it’s not that everything has been lost in cavefish,” says geneticist Jaya Krishnan of the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation. “Many enhancements have also happened.” Though the demise of their eyes continues to fascinate biologists, in recent years, attention has shifted to other intriguing aspects of cavefish biology. It has become increasingl

Budapest — Every day, crowds flock to the Lukács Thermal Baths in Budapest, soaking in warm mineral-rich pools as yellow trams clatter along Frankel Leó Street. Most never suspect that just yards away, beneath the city’s historic streets, lies a hidden world: a vast underwater cave system heated by geothermal springs. From its entrance, tucked into the base of Rózsadomb — Rose Hill — an affluent neighborhood of elegant villas and tree-lined streets, the Molnár János Cave stretches for over 3.6

This Week’s ‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Hid a ‘Doctor Who’ Easter Egg in Plain Sight

gizmodo.com Justin Carter 2025-11-11 00:50:15

The latest episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds planted the seeds for what’ll eventually become classic Star Trek by giving James Kirk (Paul Wesley) time in the captain’s chair. Along the way, it also decided to have a little crossover with Doctor Who. In this week’s “The Sehlat Who Ate Its Tail,” Kirk and the Farragut crew have to rescue the Enterprise from the tendrils of a power-draining scavenger ship. Throughout the episode, the camera cuts to the wrapped up Enterprise, and each establ

The Legacy of ‘Scavengers Reign’ Lives on Through Video Games

gizmodo.com Toussaint Egan 2025-12-11 22:15:57

It’s been little over a year since Scavengers Reign was canceled. Co-created by animator-producers Joseph Bennett and Charles Huettner, Scavengers Reign garnered a modest yet passionate fanbase and went on to earn an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Animated Program. Despite this, however, HBO Max—and by extension Warner Bros. Discovery, HBO Max’s parent company—chose not to renew the show for a second season, effectively canceling the series. Set in the distant future, the animated sci-fi drama

Ancient skull may have been half human, half Neanderthal child

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-01-30 03:00:30

Back in 1929, archaeologists unearthed several human skeletons (seven adults and three children) while excavating Skuhl Cave just south of Haifa, Israel. Dating back 140,000 years to the end of the Middle Pleistocene, most were classified as early Homo sapiens. But one skeleton was that of a child, between the age of 3 and 5 years old whose features seemed to show a mix of early human and Neanderthal characteristics. A new analysis involving CT scanning may resolve the long-standing debate, acco

Lessons from creating my first text adventure

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-01-29 04:48:19

It’s very easy to accidentally try to create too large a text adventure. My first attempt was way too ambitious, and would have taken months to finish. I still love the idea for that, but it had to go. I picked another idea that was much smaller in scope, but it, too, grew too ambitious. I restarted one more time, from an idea that was even more pared down, and I was actually able to finish that game. With the minimalistic scope it took maybe fifteen hours of active work to create most of the ga
