This seems like an extremely rare, high level of service and I’m still not convinced this would be the difference between EVs and ICE vehicle reliability if it was the standard at every dealer and independent shop over the past 10 years.
I attribute it to Tesla being a manufacturer that doesn’t care about the manufacturing process.
This study shows that in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, the downregulation of active TE families extends lifespan. These findings link DNA activity to aging and opens up new possibilities in medical and biological research for health improvement and age determination. doi.org/10.1038/s41467-023-40957-(open access)
That title left me wondering if I even understand English.
The idea that long living organisms can unlock methods to extend human life has been science fiction for a long time. It’s exciting to see actual research in that direction. The actual science is always more mundane than science fiction.
the researchers used techniques to “downregulate” or quiet down the activity of TEs. When they did this to specific TEs in worms, the worms showed signs of aging slower. Even more, when multiple TEs were controlled simultaneously, the lifespan-extending effects added up.
“This epigenetic modification may pave the way for a method to determine age from DNA, providing an accurate biological clock.”
Almost anything seems to qualify as appropriate for this Technology community. It’s hard to think of something that’s not “technology” making this a general purpose community. Which is fine if that’s what people want, but I’m probably going to unsubscribe if there isn’t more focus here.
Mastodon is not a one to one replacement for Twitter and doesn’t intend to be. Mastodon is nothing like what many (or even most) people who use twitter want.
Mastodon has a lot of issues that it is still working out that make it a worse experience than pre-musk Twitter.
OpenAI is the world’s leading AI company. We, the employees of OpenAI, have developed the best models and pushed the field to new frontiers. Our work on AI safety and governance shapes global norms. The products we built are used by millions of people around the world. Until now, the company we work for and cherish has never been in a stronger position.
The process through which you terminated Sam Altman and removed Greg Brockman from the board has jeopardized all of this work and undermined our mission and company. Your conduct has made it clear you did not have the competence to oversee OpenAI.
When we all unexpectedly learned of your decision, the leadership team of OpenAI acted swiftly to stabilize the company. They carefully listened to your concerns and tried to cooperate with you on all grounds. Despite many requests for specific facts for your allegations, you have never provided any written evidence. They also increasingly realized you were not capable of carrying out your duties, and were negotiating in bad faith.
The leadership team suggested that the most stabilizing path forward - the one that would best serve our mission, company, stakeholders, employees and the public - would be for you to resign and put in place a qualified board that could lead the company forward in stability.
Leadership worked with you around the clock to find a mutually agreeable outcome. Yet within two days of your initial decision, you again replaced interim CEO Mira Murati against the best interests of the company. You also informed the leadership team that allowing the company to be destroyed “would be consistent with the mission.”
Your actions have made it obvious that you are incapable of overseeing OpenAI. We are unable to work for or with people that lack competence, judgement and care for our mission and employees. We, the undersigned, may choose to resign from OpenAI and join the newly announced Microsoft subsidiary run by Sam Altman and Greg Brockman. Microsoft has assured us that there are positions for all OpenAI employees at this new subsidiary should we choose to join. We will take this step imminently, unless all current board members resign, and the board appoints two new lead independent directors, such as Bret Taylor and Will Hurd, and reinstates Sam Altman and Greg Brockman.
This whole thing has the smell of Microsoft pulling the strings to gain more control over the bleeding edge of AI. Idealists losing out to cold capitalists seeking profit and control is something we’ve seen many times before.
GoodRx is not covered under HIPAA. It’s the reason why it and companies like Postmeds exist, to skirt limitations on data collection and selling imposed by HIPAA. The fact that the data leaked is more of an issue for profitability of those companies than a privacy breach for Americans. The people who are using these services in a desperate attempt to access affordable healthcare have no legal expectation of privacy already.
Now we know why Open AI’s board fired him. Honestly can’t fault them. If Altman was going to leave with key staff anyway, why don’t just fire him? Its a lost cause.
What an absolutely disrespectful comment about someone that attended Dartmouth’s engineering school, worked at Goldman Sachs, an aerospace engineering contractor, Tesla, a tech startup that had a successful exit, and has been the CTO of OpenAI for 5 years. Somehow none of that matters because while she was able to do all that, she also might have given birth to and raised a child?
I think you need to reevaluate how you see the world.
I think there’s some value to a more narrowly defined topic based community centered around Linux to draw from in order meet the desires of the greater Beehaw Community.
People searching for “Linux” communities will likely not search for “Free and Open Source Software” and “FOSS” and “FLOSS” and “Free Software” and “Libre Software” and “Operating Systems” to in attempt to find relevant communities. Their attention is likely exhausted after their original search for “Linux”. There’s a clear interest in Linux as a topic for discussion with evidence presented in the form of multiple requests I’ve seen for a Linux Beehaw community.
The Free and Open Source Software and the Operating Systems Beehaw Communities seem like they are both too general and too specific at the same time. They compete with Technology and Programming communities for mindshare while not capturing the attention of those who desire to discuss Linux specifically. People are not being primed by the community names alone in the moment of interest around discussing Linux. Theses are the appropriate places for discussion of Linux on Beehaw but it’s not immediately clear to those who would be interested.
Considering the role of nudges and small obstacles have on people, I hope adding a Linux community is considered by the Beehaw admins to continue to foster a thriving community.
after a grueling 4 years of school and a bit of time at a fintech company ive lost almost all the enjoyment i once had for computers in high school. what kind of projects or whatever can i do to have fun again without feeling stressed....
Fintech can take on the high stress culture of the financial world where you’re expected to just accept that money will make up for the ever increasing pressure to work more and harder to “win”. There’s a reason Wall Street is infamously known for cocaine
All that to say, I think your approach is better than what’s being suggested by others here.

I know of someone making a replacement for the core of Lemmy with a focus on good architecture for administration and moderation tools. It’ll have a compatible API so the apps and front-end doesn’t have to change to use the new core. He says he’s more that 1/3 through to something that can be released in alpha. I’ll keep you and the Beehaw crowd in the loop for when the alpha release is ready.
The point is that magnets pose a greater threat than most things that are commonly swallowed. This article identifies that risk and tries to spread the word to treat magnets as more dangerous than coins or other random small objects which may be choking hazards.
Your opinion here is valid, but I’m really at a loss for how you formed it. It’s no big deal. Everyone has different tastes. I was just hoping to learn a bit. Have a great day.

Astronomers have been closely monitoring Bennu, which swings close to Earth every six years.

While the odds of such a catastrophic strike are estimated at 1...
In 120 years, people will likely have a better idea of what the trajectory of Bennu will be. No one currently alive needs to do anything at all about this. This is a science experiment for our lifetimes.
