This reminds me of another article I read today about Gallium.

Apple Music is ok but it is not as good on MacOS as it is on iOS. It will skip some songs sometimes and the ui is not very consistent for the player bar.

Oh yes, indeed. On iOS I quite prefer it, but I also use it daily on Linux. But the linux web version is still much better than the terrible Windows client. That thing is plain terrible.

I think the Apple Music service is still good. There are little features that I rely on a lot, like the asterisk next to the prominent/popular songs on a given album.


It looks nice but very "LLMsy". I liked that it specifically annotates "Lytic" vs "Lysogenic" categorization for phages. Important in terms of virome analysis. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11097211/

Wordle, Connections, Spelling Bee, and Pips (All modes) for me. Wordle is fun but Pips is very satisfying. Pips medium can sometimes be more difficult than hard one.

I agree with this. We are much missing these forums with civil replies and clouded behind "influencer" culture, which is optimized for incentives. Pure discussions as in this example are such a stalwarts of open web.

On the other hand, small websites and forums can disappear but that openness allows platform like archive.org to capture and "fossilize" them.


These forums still exist. Typically with much older and mature discussions, as the users have aged alongside the forums. Nothing is stopping you from joining them now.

My Something Awful forums account is over 25 years old at this point. The software and standards and moderation style is approximately unchanged, complete with 10 dollar sign-up fee to keep out the spam.

May be that Python 2 to Python 3 migration was holding it back but it is remarkable that it shows positive strides or was relatively stable even within that transition period. https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/python/


"Development is the execution of a map toward a goal while research is the pursuit of a goal without a map". If there is something I can take from this post, it will be this quote.


https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/19490976.2025.2... Link to the research article. Are you referring to the news release?


Just FYI, this study was done in mice.


As a rule of thumb, it’s best to assume that all studies like this are in mice or rats unless the headline specifically says “in human trials”.

Murine studies are a dime a dozen and therefore it’s the default assumption when reading research papers. When human trials commence the fact that it’s in humans is a big part of the research and therefore paper titles.


I would be in favor of adding a standardized [in mice] to the titles of all HN submissions about medical breakthroughs. Most of them end up being in mice and many do not reproduce in humans. It would help, at a glance, to know how significant a study's results are.


Or alternatively, some marker to indicate the presence of an “only in mice” comment


Maybe we find out why things work in mice and not us.


This works in mice with small tumors for two weeks until the experiment ends. It's quite different form working in humans with big tumors for 5 years.

Mice are good for early tries. The researchers had 9 bacterias and only 1 was successful. Experiments in mice are cheaper and have less ethical problems than experiments in humans.

(Hey! They even injected the cancer cells in mice and waited a week until it grow. Nobody will approve that in humans.)


Thanks, we've inmiced the title.


Of course it was done in mice, tests with animals are obviously mandatory before human trials.


They've given more lives to humanity than humanity itself (j/k)


Ah, I was wondering if it was one of those. And of course there's a relevant xkcd [0]

No, it is not relevant in the least. Murine studies are a standard practice on the path to human trials.

Your link is not even about animal studies. It is about a petri dish.
