It is though, at the group level. The groups that adopt will have better survival than groups that don't, if the environment is such that parents regularly die while the cubs are small.

Very cool article, love these.

This brute force approach would work for short codes, but not for long ones. To generate all of the length 10 sequences would require computing about a billion hashes (8^10). That would work on my laptop, but length 11 codes (8 billion hashes) would be take a while, and 12 (68 billion hashes) would be a stretch.

We live in the future though. 68 billion hashes is absolutely possible on a laptop.
