I am not sure what is "the draft human genome" you are talking about. Two separate human genomes were published in 2001: the HGP genome and the celera genome. The HGP genome then didn't use Venter DNA. It evolved into the current human reference genome. The celera genome contained Venter DNA but it has been completely forgotten nowadays.

No, at initial release, the human genome from the NIH side was done by bac-to-bac, not by shotgun.

You are confused by the human genome project vs the celera genome project. No, the human genome project didn't include his sample.

Well, they can keep stealing as long as someone open weight their models.

Going from something like "Go lacks a builtin arena allocation" to "Go risks becoming the COBOL" is a long stretch. First, Go is slower than C/C++/rust without complex memory allocation. Introducing an arena allocator won't fix that. Second, arena allocation often doesn't work for a lot of allocation patterns. Third, plain arena allocator is easy to implement when needed. Surely a builtin one would be better but Go won't fall without it.

Pypy is 10x faster and is compatible with most cpython code. IMHO it was a big mistake not to adopt JIT during the 2-to-3 transition.

You need to know what is good code. Opinions may vary a lot between programmers, even senior ones. The Clean Code cult would tell you to find good code there but that is the most poisonous programming book I have read.
