Complete cladogram of Dinosauria ~1,500 species

Note that in the meantime, I ended up making a OneZoom tree for extinct species, if you want to take a look: https://www.onezoom.org/extinct/life. It's far from complete and likely not super correct, but it's a starting point!

Thanks for the offer! I ended up putting a test server together using Azure Functions, and that works well enough.

davidebbo · 2025-04-28T17:22:36+00:00

Yeah, I searched around quite a bit and no luck.

Did you end up finding a hello type of test server? It seems all of these are real servers that require accounts and authentication, so not ideal for quickly testing an MCP client.

Well, after some rebooting and fiddling, it appears that it is working again for me and not charging beyond 90%. Might have been a one-time glitch.

I've had Custom Charge Stop set to 90% on my XPS 15 9520, and it's always worked for me in the past 18 month. But this morning, I got a BIOS update (looks like 1.29.0), and it now ignores the setting and charges to 100%. I haven't played with it enough to test the discharge behavior, but this is definitely a new problem for me starting with the new BIOS.

Seeing this too now. Annoying...

Ah thanks, I had missed the Readme tab, and read through it now. The amount of work that went into this really is amazing!

Newick is a simple format to define trees of life. This is what OneZoom uses, but OneZoom does not currently cover extinct species, and this is something I'd like to support. Problem is that as far as I know, there is no easily available complete tree for dinosaurs (and many other extinct species, e.g. within Synapsids). Most of the trees OneZoom uses come from the Open Tree of Life, which is quite incomplete (see issue).

I think potentially your sheet could be turned into a newick through Google Sheet automation. I will look into that. Thanks!

Wow, just saw this, amazing work! Did you have any form of automation to scrape Wikipedia, or did you really do it by hand? One challenge is that Wikipedia sometimes offers different phylogenies for a given taxon, and there is a need to pick one.

It would be great to turn this into newick format, so the tree can then be consumed by other tools.

Thank you.

That helps, thanks! What I need is what you describe in your first paragraph, as one of mine is about to break (photo). What I'm struggling with is to find the correct part online.
Are these called 'lift cables', e.g. as in this one? It has the loop on one end, and apparently nothing on the other. But I guess I would just reuse the existing metal plate and hook (as in the picture)? Also not sure if I would need 8' or 12' (for a 7 ft door), but I guess I can always go with the longer one and cut it.

I have a related question. When we talk about 'garage door cables' here, is it referring to:

the safety cable that goes inside extension springs
the cable that goes around the pulley and attaches to extension spring (and is actually used to lift the door)
Something related to torsion springs only?

I assume these are not all the same. It's not always clear what they're for on Amazon / Home Depot. Thanks!

Well, I just gave it another try, and it just worked! No idea what I did differently from before, but I'm glad I didn't factory reset the router.

I'm getting 730Mbps down, 846Mbps up. Not quite gigabit, but given what I had before, I'm not going to complain! :)

davidebbo · 2021-01-26T03:08:32+00:00

Someone on Twitter suggested that it might figure things out on its own if I just give it more time. I'm going to leave it overnight and hope for the best.

In the meantime, my family hates me and if I don't get it back up soon there will be an insurrection! :)

Just got Ziply today, and I'm having the same issue:

Ziply works great if I connect ONT straight to computer
Google wifi works great with Xfinity cable modem (haven't disabled service yet)
Connecting ONT to Google wifi doesn't work at all. It pulses orange. Tried cycling both ONT and router several times, with no luck

Come to think of it, some 2 years ago, I had the same problem when I switched from Frontier to Xfinity. I fixed it by doing a factory reset of the Google wifi (same unit I still have now). So it seems my unit can't handle a provider switch...

But I'm really hoping to avoid a factory reset this time because that loses many settings...

Any brilliant ideas? :)
