But why is it not a dire wolf predominantly when most or the most potent genes are dire wolf? I'm not talking about a pure dire wolf just something like a hybrid that's closer to a dire than a gray

If I understand that article right than it sounds like they're saying they are the same animal (both are dire wolves) from a morphological/physical standpoint which is basically what I was referring to. I was mainly also wondering to what extend that is though and why

But what's the deeper scientific explanation for that? At which genetic state would they be considered dire wolves then?

So you mean they are more similar to gray wolves than dire wolves? What is the scientific explanation behind this?

Unfortunately I need a subscription to read that article.

Hiding apparently also only works for posts but like I said even with them they still show up for me

I just added to my comment when I do that it only seems to hide it for others but it's still showing up for me.

Hi there, I'm not familiar in this space at all which is why I'm asking in this community to understand it better from a science perspective.

So the way I understand it they haven't created a 100% exact genetical copy of a dire wolf since they don't have a complete DNA sequence that's fully preserved and intact.

Apparently they made 20 edits to the Gray Wolf genes which I assume aren't all the edits needed for a fully genetically identical dire wolf.

So my question is if that means that the wolves they created are overall still more similar to a gray wolf when you could go back in time and compared them to actual dire wolves. Or did they actually make the core changes that are so significant that the wolves overall actually are more similar to actual dire wolves and therefore naturally fit into that ecosystem niche that gray wolves don't?

And even if they're more similar to actual dire wolves than gray wolves and naturally fit into that ecosystem niche I wonder if they would still have some perceivable differences. Like if we could travel back in time and compare them to the dire wolves created by evolution, is it likely that we would find any differences or are these only neglectable genetical differences that don't have any effects on any perceivable aspect in their nature such as behavior, appearance, cognition, capabilities etc. or would there still be small differences that would differ from the majority (individual differences neglected of course)?

 

Hi there, I know that you're not able to fully delete a post/comment on Lemmy because of the way the system works since deleting something only seems to hide the content from most instances but it will still show up for yourself and give you the option to "undelete" it.

But it's pretty annoying to me to have all posts and comments I deleted still showing up for me in my profile section. Even though I know you can't fully delete it I was wondering if there's at least a way to also hide the content from myself and not just for others.

The way the TV is doing it has too much latency. There are graphics cards from for example Nvidia that have something called DLSS and it has very low latency. But GTA 6 will not come out for PC in the beginning and consoles don't have such a feature right now.

 

Probably a dumb question but:

With the upcoming GTA 6 where people speculate it might only run at 30FPS, I was wondering why there isn't some setting on current gen consoles to turn on motion smoothing.

For example my 10 year old TV has a setting for motion smoothing that works perfectly fine even though it probably has less performance than someone's toaster.

It seems like this is being integrated in some instances for NVIDIA and AMD cards such as DLSS and Fluid Motion Frames which is compatible with some limited games.

But I wonder why can't this be a thing that is globally integrated in modern tech so that we don't have to play something under 60FPS anymore in 2025? I honestly couldn't play something in 30FPS since it's so straining and hard to see things properly.

 

Hey there, I was wondering what good ways are to learn the Spanish dialect that is most commonly spoken in the USA since America has a lot of Spanish speakers and it's the second most prevalent language after English (like English, America obviously has a different version of the language compared to for example UK or India).

I had Spanish in school but only know a few basic things. I wonder if there is some way to really get immersed in the language (other than oc moving there and speaking with native speaker in person) to naturally learn it to be able to have conversations with Spanish speakers in America that sound as local/authentic as possible (so I don't wanna focus on artificial learning that focuses too much on grammar and uncommon words that aren't that important for everyday conversations).
