Six inch Tall Alien believed to be 5 to 7 years old was found in the Atacama Desert in Chile a few years ago. This ET has been tested and the DNA proves this little being is not human or related to anything here on earth which makes it "Extraterrestrial"...

Well how most neowin members see it. If its something they never saw before. Its automatically fake lol

I would think something like this would hit more news outlets if it wasn't fake, don't you?

Youtube isn't exactly a scientific location to post findings for the world to see.

Wait, wait, wait ...so iPlay gaming console from Apple isn't real then:

...it's on YouTube so it HAS to be real :D

(nota bene, sarcasm :) )

DNA testing on an object not from earth? really? But DNA "evolved" here on earth to be the dominant genetic material as they say.

technically if such an event were to happen, I think they would not be DNA dependent, provided that that theory actually had any substance to it.

But DNA is pretty standard with carbon based life.

And to be frank I'd rather see this be shot down by someone who's background is in the sciences rather than some internet nerd who has watched one too many episodes of mythbusters.

Fixed that for you!

Any biological being that reproduces sexually, is going to have genetic makeup of some kind, weather it was here on Earth or elsewhere.

just because it's a gazillion to 1 that it happened here, doesn't mean it can't happen twice, on some other planet....

Any assertion you make is just that, an assertion, until you have evidence to back it up. I am not arrogant enough to think if there is life out there, given the diversity that millions of years of evolution has brought just on this planet (and that includes evolving the DNA system), that DNA would be the only solution to reproduction, be that sexual or of any kind.

True, but things in this universe are relatively standard. Whether on Earth or on an extrasolar planet, water is going to always be the same - 2 parts Hydrogen, 1 part Oxygen. Same with biological life, they'll always have some kind of genetic markup, something that makes it, "it".

That comparison just doesn't make sense. Water is water is water. One molecule of water looks the same as another. The same cannot be said of life forms. What if a ecosystem exists that is based on silicon chemistry rather than carbon chemistry? If you can't comprehend the potential for the different forms of life then I can't really help that.

Life didn't evolve on this planet the way it has because this is the current phase of evolution to a potential supremely evolved life form. But it is because the current life forms fill their niche the best way. It also doesn't mean that DNA is the only way to encode the blueprint for a life form but it evolved because of the building blocks and the conditions on Earth at the time it formed and reproduced were favorable. DNA is not necessarily a fundamental requirement for life on other planets, it is here but it is a evolved solution to the problem of reproduction. I would like to see an statement by any reputable scientist that says that DNA is a prerequisite for life (by this I mean extraterrestrial). They would need a method of reproduction but I can't see it being based on ours unless the theory of polyspermia holds true but even then that would just increases the chances of finding DNA based life rather than making it a certainty.

    • Anyone Here With Turbo Pascal Experience?

      By Almohandis · Posted

      Turbo Pascal was my first real programming experience more than 30 years ago at university. I mostly taught myself from the included examples and help documentation, because the university only taught the basic syntax and philosophy of Pascal, without going deeply into Turbo Pascal’s advanced features. I still remember when I discovered that I could embed assembly language directly into Pascal code, call BIOS functions, manipulate screen memory, use mouse interrupts, and control peripherals from my programs. That opened huge doors for me. Programming back then felt really fun, direct, and close to the machine. What I loved about Pascal was its readability and the almost instant compile time. Turbo Pascal was an amazing environment, but unfortunately Turbo Pascal for Windows 3 did not feel like it fully carried that legacy forward. Later, Delphi got things back on the right track after the messy transition to TP for Windows. Sadly, Delphi suffered from years of uncertainty as it moved from Borland to CodeGear and then to Embarcadero. That instability made many developers lose confidence in it, even though Delphi itself remained a powerful and productive tool. I still work with Delphi from time to time, but I definitely miss the old days of Turbo Pascal.

      I hope this encodes in to AV1 or AV2 as currently tiktok uses h265 and h264.
    • Qualcomm reportedly in talks to build custom video chips for TikTok parent ByteDance

      Qualcomm reportedly in talks to build custom video chips for TikTok parent ByteDance by Karthik Mudaliar Qualcomm is reportedly in advanced discussions to provide custom chip-design services to Chinese tech giant ByteDance, the same company behind TikTok. According to a report from Reuters, Qualcomm could be involved in designing custom silicon tailored for ByteDance's massive data-center workloads. If it goes through, the deal would make ByteDance one of Qualcomm's early anchor customers for its fastly growing custom chip-design division, For years, Qualcomm was the king of making smartphone processors and modems. The company has also been moving into the PC ecosystem and other formats such as on-device AI for Android XR headsets. However, this particular deal is about Qualcomm's custom Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). For a platform like TikTok, ByteDance needs hardware that can help it ingest, process, and serve billions of short-form videos daily. Generalised hardware is no longer the most cost-effective and efficient route, which is why ByteDance is trying to develop custom Video Processing Units (VPUs). VPUs designed specifically for ByteDance’s algorithmic needs could drastically reduce data-center power consumption and improve encoding speeds at an unprecedented scale. The underlying tech behind these processors is actually from Qualcomm's recent acquisition of AlphaWave Semi, a high-speed connectivity specialist company. By combining AlphaWave’s high-bandwidth IP with Qualcomm’s architectural expertise, the company could begin mass production by the end of 2026, if the talks go through. All this also comes at a time when U.S.-China tech relations have dwindled. Escalating trade frictions between Washington and Beijing have severely impacted the export of high-end AI chips from U.S. firms like Nvidia, AMD, and Lam Research. Yet, the Qualcomm-ByteDance discussions show that U.S. tech companies are still actively seeking growth avenues and are open to doing business with China, where regulators still permit. Reuters notes that the outcome of this deal could be uncertain, and ByteDance might also seek partners other than Qualcomm. via Reuters | Image via DepositPhotos.com
