Doctors in the US have become the first to treat a baby with a customised gene-editing therapy after diagnosing the child with a severe genetic disorder that kills about half of those affected in early infancy. Ian Sample explains to Madeleine Finlay how this new therapy works and how it paves the way for even more complex gene editing techniques. David Liu, a professor at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard and the inventor of these therapies, also describes the barriers that could prevent them reaching patients, and how he thinks they can be overcome.

I’d just like to have to trim my nails less frequently

i used to think like you, then i started (ab)using my hands for activities that wear them out. Now i’m glad that they’re growing sufficiently fast to replace/renew

There’s nothing uncontroversial about human genetic modification.
It’s a pandora’s box that just shouldn’t be opened.

yes, it reboots without play services. You may need to execute the code again after an update (when not only disabled bloat is reinstalled but often new bloatware too is pushed without your consent)

the other comment above mine covers your other questions

i used this on many phones from different brands. It may break some apps (that can be replaced with foss alternatives) but it never bricked any phone. 🤷

there are communities on xdaforums.com or xda-developers.com for specific models where you can find more detailed information

afaik, yes. this disables play services, as well as store (vending)

easiest way to stop that ☞

pm uninstall --user 0 com.google.android.gsf
pm uninstall --user 0 com.google.android.ims
pm uninstall --user 0 com.android.vending

what’s the problem with bandcamp?

it was often mentioned as an acceptable alternative to spotify

Maybe you are young and full of hope and I am old and already disenchanted. Don’t change.

i too feel old and tired. Sometimes i make comments like you did. We should change.

we should stay as allies of the young who have the energy to believe in change

i still can’t forget that shit. Especially the voices!

hope those people burn in their imaginary hell forever

A photo has less bias because we know what it is representing: a photo only shows what can be seen.

i agree with you on ai but the above statement is ignoring what photography is and biases intrinsic to it.

You see, that understanding you expect to be developed for ai is not there for you for photography.

yes, i did. Can i comment on just this part?

“without the user noticing it” is where i disagree. When you work with ai you encounter all kinds of limitations (and bias).

Can you see the bias cameras too intrinsically have? They too never photograph roots unless we uncover the roots and direct the camera at them.

Now imagine how you might prompt an LLM like ChatGPT to give you a picture of your tree. When Stanford computer science PhD candidate Nava Haghighi, the lead author of the new study, asked ChatGPT to make her a picture of a tree, ChatGPT returned a solitary trunk with sprawling branches – not the image of a tree with roots she envisioned.

she needs to get out and draw/paint some trees.

Honestly on the bus or train it’s kinda nice to just be in a bubble. Obviously you still need to be aware to some degree but I remember my college bus trips being a nice isolated time most days.

i too remember my college bus days and, like you said, it was a relief to cut off the city and/or people around me. (I think that need was why i was attracted to noise back then (noise as a “music” genre. Impeccable filter.))

But it was before smartphones and i was watchful. Now with the screen + earphones, what i experience is a complete disregard for others. It’s not about awareness only, but consideration. Filtering out doesn’t give you the right to act like filtered out doesn’t exist and if they do, they should accommodate their actions according to your unawareness. (What a luxury to live in a period when your species has eliminated all their predators.)

i’m on it
