You can hold on to your butts thanks to DNA that evolved in fish

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-09-18 23:19:24

Evolution has adapted the digits of mammals for an enormous range of uses, from our opposable thumbs to the spindly digits that support bat wings to the robust bones that support the hoofs of horses. But how we got digits in the first place hasn't been entirely clear. The fish that limbed vertebrates evolved from don't have obvious digit equivalents, and the most common types of fish just have a large collection of rays supporting their fins. Despite this uncertainty, we have identified some ge

Ask HN: Is anyone else sick of AI splattered code

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-19 19:29:58

Between code reviews, and AI generated rubbish, I've had it. Whether it's people relying on AI to write pull request descriptions (that are crap by the way), or using it to generate tests.. I'm sick of it. Over the year, I've been doing a tonne of consulting. The last three months I've watched at least 8 companies embrace AI generated pip for coding, testing, and code reviews. Honestly, the best suggestions I've seen are found by linters in CI, and spell checkers. Is this what we've come to? M

Micro-LEDs boost random number generation

news.ycombinator.com About The Author 2025-09-21 06:48:06

Miniature LEDs called micro-LEDs have been shown to generate random numbers at gigabit-per-second speeds by a team of researchers from Saudi Arabia and the United States[1]. The generation of random numbers is vital for many tasks, including data security — where it is used to create encryption keys and passwords — and computer simulations of complex systems such as the weather and financial markets. There is, therefore, a strong demand to develop cost-effective random number generators that a

The Next Era of Gene Editing Will Be Disease Agnostic

wired.com Emily Mullin 2025-09-25 14:30:00

At the WIRED Health summit last week, Harvard biochemist and gene-editing pioneer David Liu says later this year his lab plans to report on a single gene-editing strategy that could treat many unrelated diseases. He calls it disease-agnostic therapeutic gene editing. “It sounds sort of crazy, but there’s actually a very good molecular biology reason why this could be possible,” he told the audience in Boston, stopping short of details.

iPhone Air offers a new feature never seen in a single-camera iPhone

Apple has been including Portrait Mode on iPhone models with only one back camera since the iPhone XR, but the iPhone Air is the first one to get a fully-featured Portrait Mode. A brief history When Apple introduced the iPhone XR, one of the headlining features was how it could take “dramatic portraits using a single camera lens”.
