To be fair (and I hate Microsoft, so it's painful), Microsoft is not alone here. Google and Apple perpetrate similar BS, with Google Drive being a major offender.

"Vibecoding?"

Gotta love how someone downvoted this.


In English, too.

Looks more like meaningless terms run amok...

The article neglects to say HOW they "reduced FTL1."

If you click the link to the actual paper, you’ll find:

> Next, we sought to explore the potential benefit of targeting the age-related increase of FTL1 in the hippocampus of aged mice. We performed targeted stereotaxic injections of a high-titer virus encoding shRNA sequences targeting either Ftl1 or luciferase control into the CA1 and dentate gyrus hippocampal regions of aged mice (Fig. 3b and Extended Data Fig. 5a,b).

There are lots of bio research techniques that can be applied to mice that you wouldn’t necessarily want to do to yourself…


>> "luciferase"....

<3


Also focusing on memory and metabolism, I thought it’s about aging in general such as muscles and mobility

Claude reckons by combatting spare iron in the blood (ftl1 is apparently iron-based), so iron chelators like green tea after every meal.

Whataboutism

No, because their icons can simply be collapsed into a disclosure control.

"You'll run out of memory eventually" was my point.

I disagree with this one. If a VPN is important, I want to see that it is still connected and hasn't crashed.

That's the standard apologist response to ANY defect you point out in anything, or any question they don't know the answer to but still want to bloviate about.

One thing's for sure: No application should be allowed to have a menubar item without a ToolTip. WTF, that should have been obvious from day one.

At the moment, I have 11 of them on my system (not counting the clock), a mix of third-party and Apple ones. NOT ONE of them has a ToolTip.

Even worse, if you click on them, the resulting menu does not show the name of the owning application. This too should be forced. For example, I unfortunately have to run Microsoft Teams, and its toolbar menu gives you no indication of what application it belongs to.
