This is figure 1 from “Genomic history of early dogs in Europe.” It shows genomic screening identifies early dogs in Europe.
Domesticated dogs were already widely distributed in western Eurasia at least 14,200 years ago, according to two studies published in Nature. The papers report the oldest known dog genomes to date.

Creating sophisticated analytical & generative processes from Bakhtin's #Chronotopes is just... quite fun :) Also, for anyone interested:

That's interesting but also the "bouba-kiki effect" sounds kinky.
--> Naive baby chicks’ spontaneous bouba/kiki sound–shape matching indicates that sound–shape crossmodal mapping is at least partly experience-independent and predisposed rather than purely learned.
Gentner beat me to it... by around 5 years before I was even born lol

So... lost in the semantic sauce recently.
PSA: an untold retelling ALWAYS exists (ad infinitum), but it's IMPOSSIBLE that there's a REtelling of the UNtold.
Also, 1st Oxford def. of "untold" is better suited for "untolled."
"unspoken" =/= "untold"
I actually don't like the word "untold." lol
"Where the AI really struggles right now is knowing where it's made a wrong turn."
The discussion on being superficially flawless and AI generations being "odorless" in terms of #codesmell or "mathematical smell" is right on the money.

While not yet peer reviewed (& heavily reliant on self-reports); doesn't seem surprising that "affective" power-users on voice mode would be more emotionally invested & attached. The interface is conversation, after all. Hmm.

Hmm. I sense a coming market for genetically altered pets. As though selective breeding wasn't enough for us to fuck animals up.
To be fair they're unbelievably cute.

This is confirmed; and also why it's getting review-bombed on Steam. lol
It kinda feels like the Old School R-Type and Final Fight II games on SNES. You gotta just be slightly masochistic and driven to a fault. lmao

Science illusion: science & scientific language "as a brand, not necessarily in substance."
Goodness illusion: "the illusion of goodness doesn’t represent what the science says."
Opinion illusion: "opinions commodified and marketized and weaponized."

More than 150 bombs from World War II have been found under a children’s playground in northern England, with concerns that more may remain, officials said.
"The period between the early 1940s and the mid-1960s is called “the Golden Age of Antibiotics” ... (when) almost two-thirds of all antibiotic drug classes were developed... Most are still used today."

Dropped by Booksale and found a couple of gems lol
“It remains an open question whether we need foundation models … that can engage in human-like conversations and write Shakespearean sonnets if what we want is reliable information useful for educators, healthcare professionals, electricians, plumbers and other craft workers.”
Love it. Would be awesome to see actual pine cones and these do the same thing at the same time of day and weather conditions.
This is gonna be great. I mean ChatGPT already speaks better than him so it's actually an improvement.
Well look who's back. Every Frame a Painting. lol
