Always ask yourself why RT would post something, since they are pure Russian propaganda. In this case they're probably hoping to help fracture the West by amplifying its internal division about Israel.
People care about Israel because we're directly funding it. Our leaders could easily end that war overnight if they wanted. The same is not true about China's Uyghur genocide.
That's a valid point. I feel for you. Similar thing has happened to a friend because of his dorm roommate torrenting some ... not linux isos illegal stuff.
With that said, I still find this risk quite unlikely to happen (at least in my country) with data loss due to being unable to decrypt the drive being more likely due to me changing computers often. If I were in a country such as the current U.S. for instance, I would most probably encrypt everything I could get my hands on. In addition, I think it is one more reason to have good offsite backups and to invest time into those. For me, losing the data/not having access to it for a long time while the police have it is a bigger impact than them finding out what porn I watch in my opinion. I don't mean it in a "nothing to hide" kind of way, but in a "I don't think they could do much any/damage with that information" way.
If the only successful uses of vibecoding are more tools for vibecoding... Feels a bit like the snake eating its own tail.
That said, I don't think that is actually the case - there is a small and growing percentage of LLM-written code in pretty much every piece of tech I have insight into the internals of.
Not sure if my last comment was clear but I meant specifically not related to GenAI/LLMs. So no harness, no model tooling, etc. I mean end-user used software. I don't mean that this topic isn't interesting per se, only that (as the article pointed out) it's been "gamed" so much popularity there isn't really meaningful anymore.
Because these hybrids would contain mtDNA from their human female line. Neanderthal mtDNA could only be passed down by Neanderthal females.
And because none of those are found in any modern human populations, we can conclude no humans today are descended from female Neanderthals. Though whether hybridized descendants from male-sapiens female-Neanderthal pairings never existed, or they did exist for some time then eventually went extinct, we cannot currently say with certainty.
Strictly speaking we don't know that. It may always turn up an extremely rare Y or mtdna variant which was thought to be extinct. Ötzi's mt like was thought to be extinct (Wikipedia page even still says so) but very recently a North African man took a full mtdna test and it turned out he had the same. That could happen with neanderthal variants too for all we know.
> we can conclude no humans today are descended from female Neanderthals.
that looks worded wrong, strictly speaking. if there's a male neanderthal ancestor, then he very likely has a neanderthal mom or grandma or ... great^N grandma for some N.
We don't know that. I cannot imagine we have a perfectly accurate mapping of all mDNA neanderthals had. All current mDNA could actually have been neanderthal at one point in history.
How would we know otherwise? With absolute accuracy?
We certainly don't have access to thousands upon thousands of samples. Do we?
Most governments can only accept offers that are made to them. If you want to get chosen next time, find out how your government's tender process works, and engage in that process. These are giant US companies whose business differentiator is knowing the government purchase process so they can sell things to the government when others don't.
Public procurement tenders in the EU for city, state and federal contracts often stipulate that the bidding company must have something like three years of consecutive p. a. revenues exceeding anything from €300.000 to €1.000.000 - please tell me how even a freelance developer who bills through their LLC can reasonably participate here on EU rates?
I don't see how this is about people finding out how their government's processes work. Most people in the EU are painfully aware of our horribly broken public procurement schemes.
