Thank you eagle-eyed Tony for taking the time to let me know. Yes, you are correct. It should be BEF/TO before and FROM/BET/AFT that follow. I've now updated this blog post to reflect this.
I checked my code in Behold, and it is implemented correctly. I just errored in this blog post.

Small error here, Louis. When you talk about sorting, you suggest that BEF/FROM come before, and BET/AFT/TO. But FROM is akin to AFT (one inclusive and one not) rather than BEF. In other words, I believe you meant FROM and TO to be switched over here.

Chess and Artificial Intelligence: The Future Changed Today - Blog comment by geneatech - 11 Dec 2017
Louis, good luck with that! But we should certainly look to movies for ideas about the possible scenarios and potential solutions. I fear we're already behind the eight-ball, though. According to this article, programmers don't even understand why AIs make the decisions they do: ...

Chess and Artificial Intelligence: The Future Changed Today - Blog comment by geneatech - 6 Dec 2017

Revisiting Speed and Balding - Blog comment by lkessler - 9 Nov 2017
Thanks, Debbie. I am now working with the help of your thoughts as well as those of Andrew Millard to try to statistically represent what Speed and Balding have simulated so as to better understand what their results represent. The constrained population is one thing (similar to a small version of Iceland over ...

Revisiting Speed and Balding - Blog comment by debbiek - 9 Nov 2017
If you have a stable population over 50 generations then you do get extreme pedigree collapse. This is pretty much what has happened throughout human history with the exception of the last 300 years: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_population_estimates All humans are highly endogamous. It's just a question ...

Revisiting Speed and Balding - Blog comment by lkessler - 8 Nov 2017
Thank you Debbie for your analysis, but I'm still not convinced.
You were correct on Facebook to say that the match filter would not affect results above 9 cM. So there must be some other reason why Speed and Balding give a greater than 20% chance that shared segments from 30 Mb to 40 Mb are from > 20 ...
