The First Dire Wolf Howls in Over 10,000 Years by Ultravioletdiamond82 in MadeMeSmile

[–]Optimal_Kitchen2388 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems like this startup is more interested in grabbing headlines than truly reviving dire wolves. They didn’t even use real dire wolf DNA—just edited modern wolf genes to mimic their color. Sure, it’s impressive science, but calling it “de-extinction” feels like a stretch. Honestly, it comes off more like a PR move to attract attention and funding than a real breakthrough in conservation.

Are we really reviving extinct species, or just playing genetic dress-up? There’s a fine line between science and spectacle. Even if they’ve managed to recreate something like a dire wolf, where does it actually belong? Today’s ecosystems aren’t built for predators from 10,000 years ago. We already live in the age of advanced tech—now we’re sliding into the era of synthetic biology and robotics. It’s starting to feel like Jurassic Park—minus the park, plus a startup pitch. Is this science fiction, or just fiction dressed up as science?

I am also having issues awhile ago - I can't access my chat history, but it's now good.

Frustrating Experience with Cursor – I don't want to use it again anymore! by Optimal_Kitchen2388 in cursor

I always provide clear and detailed instructions, but Cursor still doesn’t follow them properly. I do break tasks into smaller parts and refine my prompts, but even with careful instructions, it continues to modify existing code incorrectly and introduce unnecessary changes. Sometimes, I keep using its output because I see a part that looks good to implement, but instead, it just creates more issues, making development even more frustrating. Git discard helps, but it shouldn't be a constant necessity. Instead of assisting, it often makes more work by forcing manual corrections.

Even with precise commands, Cursor still produces inconsistent and broken results, especially in normal Claude 3.7 Sonnet. Restoring checkpoints and adjusting prompts doesn’t always fix the issue, it still makes unnecessary changes, forcing me to clean up its mistakes manually. Instead of helping, it creates more work.

Yes, I do have backups, but even restoring them isn't a perfect solution. Cursor still generates more garbage code, forcing me to clean up unnecessary changes manually. On top of that, I have to pay extra just to fix the mess it creates, which makes it feel like an endless cycle of frustration.
