To obtainA study of more than one million people shows that rare genetic variants that disrupt the *FNIP1* gene are associated with a favourable metabolic profile and a roughly 60% lower risk of cardiometabolic disease than the general population. Silencing genes in the FNIP1 pathway in mice induces fat breakdown and reproduces the metabolic benefits associated with the variants in humans.### ‘Television’? The word will never catch on!One reader proposes an alternative to the word ‘television’, and another is enthralled by a meteor, in our weekly dip into *Nature*’s archive.### Privacy risks from medical AI tools are not shared equallyPrivacy attacks can reveal whether someone’s medical data was used to train an AI model.
