The Lighter Side / Re: Artificial Intelligence - Tongue in Cheek Observations
« on: Tuesday 15 July 25 23:49 BST (UK)  »
AI  just uses bots to mine the internet for anything and everything, currently 40 rootschatters online as I type with over 8,800 guests. Most online ever: 63,687 (Sunday 13 July 25 22:12 BST (UK).

Another forum I use has a 100k online user server limit but was hit by so many that it crashed the site for almost an entire day. At last I  have options when trying to find my old threads outside of searching the site I suppose.

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: MyHeritage problem

I saved the match page as a favourite so it always opened on the match list but after they disabled the 3rd party test upload option I have to click on the dna button and select matches from the dna menu. I'm using a browser on a laptop rather than  device on the app so the above may not apply to others.

I've just taken pro tools for a month and the clusters features are not worth it. It's clustered my 2nd cousins , plus the child of one of my 2nd cousins. NOTHING else.

There's much more to learn by working with the enhanced matches feature than anything clusters can produce in the current format.

Just those who pay for Pro Tools, the full rollout is due to be completed by December.

I've had that every time and have to hit refresh.

Just tried the kit of a removed cousin that I can access, match list on that kit correctly shows the relationship between myself and my half sib but the cluster report predicts uncle and niece.

The apps can be a problem on some devices, the primary bulk data transfer method is gedcom but it is text only (it doesn't support images).  Importing a file wouldn't combine the new information into the existing GR tree it would simply overwrite it.

Several blogs and a couple of youtube channels have shown examples from their managed test results but they are a few years back in my history now and I don't have links to hand

 ;D ;D They've foolishly released it to me so I  had to try it. I name this feature 'Domestos' as it clears 99.9% of matches.

False matches on MH at 50cM are well known but there are documented examples at around 70cM,  the ethnicity results between sites are even less comparable than the shared cM figures.

I manage my kit along with a paternal half sibling but look at the results on the two sites and you would think they belonged to four different people. MH claims the shared cM to be much higher and predicts we are full siblings.
