  • Top 12hr / 6hr works the best. Active is usually selected by default and rubbish unless you’re a reply-guy and want to jump into active discussions. Stick to top for new stuff. If you’re still running dry, touch some grass for a bit and come back. There’s a decent amount of activity here now that can fill the need providing you aren’t just scrolling all day.

    You can set it to hide posts you’ve seen (on mobile) to prevent the issue of seeing them again too.





  • Not sure what you mean, we are seeing results at an increasing pace if anything. A lot more complexity going into it than ‘increasing text/GPUs’ though.

    AlphaEvolve recently achieved what you are after.

    We also applied AlphaEvolve to over 50 open problems in analysis , geometry , combinatorics and number theory , including the kissing number problem.

    In 75% of cases, it rediscovered the best solution known so far.

    In 20% of cases, it improved upon the previously best known solutions, thus yielding new discoveries

    AlphaEvolve discovered a new scheduling heuristic for Google’s Borg cluster management system, recovering an average of 0.7% of global compute resources that were previously stranded due to resource fragmentation.

    Google’s annual capital expenditures in the tens of billions, this efficiency translates to hundreds of millions of dollars saved annually



  • Yes, despite the irrational phobia amongst the Lemmings, AI is massively useful across a wide range of examples like you’ve just given as it reduces barriers to building something.

    As a CS grad, the problem isn’t it replacing all programmers, at least not immediately. It’s that a senior software engineer can manage a bunch of AI agents, meaning there’s less demand for developers overall.

    Same way tools like Wix, Facebook, etc came in and killed the need for a bunch of web developers that operated in the range for small businesses.




  • Been on Reddit since the digg migration, ran a few big subs at various points. It’s unusable now. Automod filters silently remove so much. So many people speaking into a void. Mods are increasingly ban happy. Lifetime bans from the default subs for daring to question Israel with facts, or calling someone thick as fuck. My last account got nuked for making a guillotine joke.

    Fake news and conservative misinformation subs are rampant, creating a mainstream pipeline for the general public into all this delusional shite. They are a major contributor to the current algorithmically induced psychosis epidemic tearing apart society.

    Lemmy is good now, agreed. Same flawed moderation system however. At least it’s a bit more transparent here usually and communities are a bit more decentralised. Maybe moving away from individual communities to something like combined feeds (ie subscribe to @uk and you see all uk communities) could help mitigate any one community gaining dominance.



  • The 99.9% similarity refers to humans having nearly identical DNA sequences, but that doesn’t mean we express our genes the same way. Gene expression varies widely due to regulatory sequences, environmental factors, epigenetics, methylation, and more.

    23andMe only analyzes a small, curated set of common SNPs, covering maybe 5 - 10 percent of the known functional and trait-associated genome. It doesn’t sequence most rare variants, the full exome, or structural elements.

    Recent research is also starting to highlight the growing importance of the dark genome, revealing that non-coding regions we’ve dismissed as junk DNA play significant roles in regulation and disease.
