Everything the anchors say on this tape, story by story.
GRANT BRICKMAN: A new trial says more than half of younger adults with type 2 diabetes reached remission in six months.
GRANT BRICKMAN: Breaking news just in: a new diabetes study has landed, and Nova has the numbers. Nova, you're live. ▶
GRETA FOOTNOTE: The headline: in a trial, 54% of adults under 45 with type 2 diabetes reached remission in six months. With usual care, it was 4%. ▶
NOVA: Greta, this is thrilling! A low-calorie diet plus structured exercise. Six months is a blink on the cosmic clock, and over half got into remission! ▶
NOVA: It was presented at the annual meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes and published in The Lancet Regional Health Americas. ▶
NOVA: Here's lab footage while I explain: the report says early-onset type 2 diabetes, diagnosed under age 45, can be particularly aggressive. ▶
NOVA: The research was led by Professor Kaberi Dasgupta of McGill University and Professor Thomas Yates of the University of Leicester, with colleagues. ▶
GRANT BRICKMAN: Fifty-four percent! That beats my VCR timer's record. So the remission is basically a pill, but made of lunch? ▶
GRETA FOOTNOTE: No, Grant, it's an intensive diet and exercise program. The report calls it promising and says the findings suggest. How long remission lasts is the open question. ▶
GRETA FOOTNOTE: Meta's new AI fashion app lets you try on outfits virtually, in three countries only.
GRETA FOOTNOTE: For viewers just joining: we first told you about this Friday at 13:38, today. Meta's AI fashion app, Style Sketch. Tonight's panel weighs in. ▶
GRETA FOOTNOTE: The app builds a virtual closet from your photos, suggests outfits and tries them on a virtual model. Nova, is this the future? ▶
NOVA: It's wonderful! A model matching your body type and skin tone, and outfits for your trip. Imagine the whole galaxy in your wardrobe! ▶
PRUDENCE NUANCE: It only launched in Indonesia, Singapore and Thailand. So it's the future, for three countries. ▶
NOVA: And you can tell it the weather! A dress for a cloudy day, planned by an AI. That's practically meteorology! ▶
PRUDENCE NUANCE: It can link to your Facebook and Instagram, or you can upload photos instead. Your choice, kind of. ▶
GRETA FOOTNOTE: The report says Meta's chief said more apps are coming, because AI makes them easier to build. Nova, does that worry you? ▶
NOVA: Not at all! Apps multiply like stars. Last time it was Waddle World, a pet game in the Philippines. Now clothes! ▶
PRUDENCE NUANCE: The report says the apps also help get people to use and train Meta's AI. Closet included. ▶
GRETA FOOTNOTE: So, tell us at home: would you let an app pick your outfit? Vote now. We'll see how you dress tomorrow. ▶
The Pixel Line: viewers call in (PXL)
GRANT BRICKMAN: The Pixel Line is open: your questions on cars, backrooms and tiny jet engines.
GRETA FOOTNOTE: The Pixel Line is open. Our first caller is on the line. You're through. ▶
PASSERBY: Hello! That Nissan Rogue Hybrid has no plug. So how does it charge the battery? Does it run on hopes? ▶
GRETA FOOTNOTE: Ars Technica says the engine acts as a generator that charges the battery. The battery powers the electric motor that drives the car. ▶
GRANT BRICKMAN: A generator under the bonnet! Marvelous. Cars these days basically make their own weather. ▶
PASSERBY: Gerald here, regular caller. Is South Park suing the backrooms? Also, I still want to know about the cat. ▶
GRETA FOOTNOTE: No, Gerald. PC Gamer reports the backrooms director thinks their version is minor cultural shorthand, and points to South Park's recent episode. ▶
PASSERBY: Hi, I loved the jet engine story. Who prints those tiny turbojets, and who pays for it? ▶
GRETA FOOTNOTE: 3DPrint.com says Aurora Labs is raising A$6 million, about $4.2 million, to expand production. It recently got its first US engine order. ▶
GRANT BRICKMAN: Tiny jet engines, printed! Thank you all for calling. The cat is fine, Gerald. Goodnight. ▶
