No one has any DNA that can be traced to a specific Neanderthal, no.

Of course people have DNA in common with their ancestors as a group, hell we share a lot in common with fish. But it's because these genes are common that they enter and re-enter your family tree at multiple points.

And your mitochondrial DNA definitely doesn't descend from Abraham, a male incapable of passing on mitochondrial DNA, so there's a reason I gloss over female line descent.

In your article, you explain that Automattic has given all trademark rights to the foundation and has been given a license for commercial usage. That would mean that A8C can use and enforce the license in commercial contexts according to the terms set forth in the licensing agreement with the foundation, correct? But, in my understanding, that would not actually confer *ownership" back to Automattic, it would grant a license to use according to agreed upon terms, that could, as Matt himself explained in one of the Youtube interviews, be taken away from Automattic if the foundation would no longer consider Automattic a suitable guardian (I think that's the term he used) of the trademark.

Is this correct?

Could the foundation actually legally revoke Automattic's commercial rights? If so, what would be the requirements for that to happen? Are the foundations legal statutes available anywhere?

Thanks!

The latter problem can be (partially) addressed by setting your network interface to metered mode. Then you get some control over updates.
They said he had balls of steel to try that one

For the yanks and elsewhere, yes conkers is well known in Britain. You basically put a chestnut (but its a conker) on a string by making a hole in the middle. Take turns swinging them on the string, whoever's breaks is the loser.

It used to be great fun till it was banned/requires eye protection now. There's an opportunity there, someone could make a perfectly safe conker app. I'm sure that would adequately replace it. /s

He says this like it's a bad thing. When really the company is just trying to find out if the thing being pitched can be sold to a not-engineer.

Too often engineers love an idea because it "can be done". They can list features all day long, but lack the skills to understand (or articulate) the benefits to the prospective customer.

Here in SF, there's an online permit database accessible from the property lot database [1]. A new or prospective owner can check for permits for past additions. I don't know how far back it goes, but I'm pretty sure it's at least 40 years.

No guarantee of course that there would be something similar in your area, let alone accessible anonymously. Not to mention that maybe it wasn't obvious that the in-law was an addition, and that it's civilized to assume that the previous owners didn't cheat.

> Is that no longer the web?

From what I've seen, a lot - I'd say most - of the communities that existed outside of the major platforms have dried up or ended (the famous/infamous bodybuilding forum apparently just went down). Web forum communities, mailing list communities, communities built around an individuals website (it sounds strange to say now, but this was pretty common a couple of decades ago). Even the offline meeting sites like Couchsurfing and Meetup are a shadow of what they were in their heyday (about 15 years or so ago).

The actual number of people actively using the internet is much higher, yet the number of people outside of a few small social media silos are much lower. So I can only surmise that these social media silos are giving the vast majority - almost everyone - what they want (those gratifying instant hits). It's just sad to know that there's apparently only a tiny sliver of humanity interested in venturing off the main path and interacting with people outside of these silos.
The World Conker Championships is an annual event held in England, where competitors from around the world play the traditional game of conkers using chestnuts. Each player threads a chestnut, known as a conker, onto a string and takes turns striking their opponent’s conker, aiming to break it. The tournament follows a knockout format, with players advancing until a world champion is declared. The event has been running since 1965 and has grown in popularity, drawing international participants and spectators.
Kind of wonder the same thing about BMI and water composition. Your body weight can vary by up to 10 pounds depending on how much water you're retaining. I've never been able to find information about the composition assumed or measured when coming up with BMI numbers.

Granted I don't think the ultimate effect is huge, and you can eliminate it by weighing yourself daily and taking an average. But most people don't do that, and a spot-check at a doctor's office certainly can't do that.
> > Pushing items onto a stack isn't inherently a prepend operation.

You say that as if the fact that it's an implementation detail means it doesn't matter.

Implementation details do, in fact, matter.

> > It's generally a "put it on an end" operation,

So you're saying that stacks don't have a "push" operation? Or that you don't understand what "push" does?

Literally picking and quoting parts of two sentences out of context to state the obvious as if it's a response to anything I said in context is a new low even for you.

No, it's not. Are you aware that vectors can be resized?

I'm not going to make your argument for you. If you have something to say, say it.

There are many people who don't feel that need. They don't actively resist cramming cake into their mouths, they just glance at the cake disinterestedly and move on. Or eat a bit, and feel that's enough, and don't want more.

Let me see if I understand this right.

Vortex is a file format. In their canonicalized, uncompressed form, vortex files are simply Apache Arrow IPC files with some of the bits and bobs moved around a bit (enabling transformation to/from Arrow), plus some extra metadata about types, summary statistics, data layout, etc.

The Vortex spec supports fancy strategies for compressing columns, the ability to store summary statistics alongside data, and the ability to specify special compute operations for particular data columns. Vortex also specifies the schema of the data as metadata, separately from the physical layout of the data on disk. All Arrow arrays can be converted zero-copy into Vortex arrays, but not vice-versa.

Vortex also supports extensions in the form of new encodings and compression strategies. The idea here is that, as new ways of encoding data appear, they can be supported by Vortex without creating a whole new file format.

Vortex-serde is a serde library for Vortex files. In addition to classic serialization/deserialization, it supports giving applications access to all those fancy compute and summary statistics features I mentioned above.

You say "Vortex is a toolkit for working with compressed Apache Arrow arrays in-memory, on-disk, and over-the-wire," but that's kind of like saying "MKV is a toolkit for working with compressed AVI and WAV files." It sounds like Vortex is a flexible file spec that lets you:

1. Work with Arrow arrays on disk with options for compression.

2. Create files that model data that can't be modeled in Arrow due to Arrow's hard coupling between encoding and logical typing.

3. Utilize a bunch of funky and innovative new features not available in existing data file formats and probably only really interesting to people who are nerds about this (laypeople will be interested in the performance improvements, though).

The Ulefone Armor 26 is available with a built-in UHF/VHF transceiver, but the software isn't great.

The opposite trend is radically changing business radio - a lot of devices that look like VHF/UHF transceivers are just cellphones. There just aren't a lot of environments where VHF repeaters provide more reliable coverage than LTE & WiFi.
Rather than taking a huge shipment, delivering it, and having to deal with an empty airship, maybe it's better to think of it as a slowly drifting warehouse. Drones can handle delivery and restock across short distances, and the airship doesn't land at all. This would let you maintain a more or less consistent mass.
It's a huge success, you're just not paying attention. In terms of feature it's been getting better and better every week since launch. These guys can ship

As someone who’s spent a lot of their career working on digital humans and respective tooling, seeing research into curly hair is a breath of fresh hair.

It’s really difficult to approximate the same way that straight hair is done and there is definitely a very high amount of Eurocentric R&D in this space, which means anything other than a slight frizz doesn’t move right, and has difficulty in rendering correctly. Hair weight specifically is one that is extremely hard to get right and even harder when it’s wet.

I also really recommend watching Theodore Kims talks. He’s ex Pixar and highly respected in the field. He’s done fantastic work in highlighting the lack of research for non-straight hair and non-white skin among other things. This talk has been hugely impactful on me and my own work that many millions of people have seen on the big screen and not realized were digital, in no small part because it highlighted what we were missing.

https://youtu.be/ROuE8xYLpX8?si=qUJ0BvcPDyEKOYLk

People might not understand the importance, but it’s hugely significant to call out the lack of research so that we as an industry can fill that hole and improve our own work. We need to represent a wide range of digital humans , and a lack of technology/research to represent them means our work doesn’t hold up as strongly.

I wish trends like the Flynn effect (rise in IQ in most of the world throughout the 20th century, including China [0], Japan and Korea [1]) had more concrete answers by now. AFAIK we still don't have any answers beyond conjectures. To me, having a better understanding of this is vital, because IQ is currently in decline in many developed countries, even when you account for immigration and demographic/race changes. Something in our environment is causing a reverse Flynn effect [2] [3], we don't know what it is, and not enough people seem to care.
