This is a pretty good video on it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncXe7QCOiVo

I have no idea why, but I just tried it again and it loaded for me this time. But it wasn’t loading and I got the exact message described in the original post at the time.

I frequently get this too

Yeah and I bet that sucked

I’m not saying it isn’t impressive. it is. but is it worth it?

I don’t know if the article talks about this or not (paywalled), but my guess would be due to public distrust. In case you weren’t aware, 23andme was recently hacked, exposing 6.9 million users data [1] and a class action lawsuit followed [2].

My personal biggest issue has always been with their TOS regarding how they forever own and will retain the rights to the provided DNA sample and resulting data derived from your DNA. This data was not treated or regulated as sensive medical data under something like HIPAA, so who knows how well they safeguard it [3].

Their website claims they won’t sell the data to 3rd parties or insurance companies without users consent, but we all have heard that before from Silicon Valley companies. This data could be sold or used in the future in ways I cannot fully conceive right now, and/or in ways I don’t agree with. With the rise in popularity of things like GPT, who knows if they will use the data for training AI models. These problems aren’t unique to 23andme, rather any of the tech DNA/ancestry companies.

When you hear this from any company, get out. Sell whatever you have in it immediately. Even if you take a loss, you’ll take a bigger one waiting it out.

It is

Neither are they. If there’s dust or fuzz down in there, it doesn’t physically seat correctly, and ends up being wobbly.

TLDR;

1. Deep learning for protein design
2. Deepfake detection
3. Large-fragment DNA insertion
4. Brain-computer interfaces
5. Super-duper resolution (microscopic imaging)
6. Cell atlases
7. Nano materials printed in 3D

Apple throwing a tantrum as a holiday FOMO marketing scheme. A new low.

Ever hear of the snipping tool? Guess not

Don’t knock it till ya try it!

Massively overrated game. I thought it’d be an adventure game, but it turned out to be a timed puzzle game where you end up just rushing back to the same spot over and over again because the game kills you when times up. and you don’t even know if what you’re doing is correct. By the time you figure out this isn’t an adventure game it’s too late to return it for a refund.

Written as if no other software has ever run into that problem before… Isn’t that the point of writing good tests that cover the use cases?

They’re doing a fine job killing themselves already.

Edit: why are you booing me? I’m right.
