Humans in the loop are likely to be a source of trouble, and you will need to measure to figure out if they provide any overall benefit other than giving you somebody to blame when that trouble happens. You need to ensure that the "human in the loop" scenario is obviously worse than automation or else humans, always over-confident of their abilities, will put themselves in the loop when it'd be far safer not.

A good example of how to do this would be London's Docklands Light Railway. A DLR train is capable of autonomously going from one station to another. Trained operators are aboard every DLR train, and they have a key to a panel in the front of the train which reveals simple controls for manual operation. But very deliberately the maximum speed of the train with an operator at the controls is significantly lower than maximum speed under automation (there are two modes in fact, driving with the train still enforcing rules about where it can safely go which is a bit slower, and driving entirely without automation helping which is much slower). This underscores that manually driving the train is the way to sidestep a temporary problem, not a good idea in itself.

The DLR has had several incidents in which trains collided, it will come as no surprise that they involved manually controlled trains. Humans are very flexible but mostly worse as part of your safety system, don't use humans if you can help it.

> Broad phase collision detection usually involves three lists of the bounding boxes of the objects, ordered by X, Y, and Z.

Exactly. You first want to limit the set of objects that might collide as far as possible. A three-level interval tree [1] works great for finding overlapping bounding boxes. You need a three-level nested interval tree where the 1st level covers the x-direction, 2nd y-direction, 3rd z-direction. It also pays off to make sure that the interval trees are balanced. You can turn the interval tree into red black tree [2], for example, by adding the color flag in the interval node. Then you can balance the tree using rotations when inserting or deleting.

Do not mix up vulnerabilities (security) with normal usage (generally buggy SW), which is what I talked about. I explicitly called out vulnerabilities as the actual problem that calls for safe languages.

For instance, you can have a library that works perfectly for any non-malicious/valid PNG image, yet have vulnerabilities for invalid, crafted files.

In fact, this is almost always the case for any product. Only really bad quality software has issues with the happy expected path. But many more will have vulnerabilities in the unexpected paths.
fold.it is a lot more about the fact that humans still are a lot better at exploring complex spaces than computers. Analysis of results has shown players reaching semi-global minima in folding space much quicker than computers and designing novel folds that express and crystallize that have not been seen in nature before (which means they can explore more space than starting from known templates). Researchers are trying to learn from the types of moves that humans make in the game to improve algorithms, but humans are still better at searching, making very productive large moves in folding space.

So basically, this is less about funding and more about the fact that our algorithms aren’t good enough.

> Almost all apes will eat meat, actually

Are you sure on that? 50% of great apes eat meat. Of the lesser apes, gibbons will eat a tiny proportion.

> Non-human apes usually eat a small amount of raw animal foods such as insects or eggs

Arguable insects are meat, but if you invited someone round to eat some meat, I don't think they would expect insects so think that can be ruled out.

So some, but certainly not "almost all". And the ones that do, it is a tiny % of their diet, relative to most humans

> When 2 different ‘why’ engineers meet, they can discuss some minute topic for hours.

When people make statements like this, I wonder if they're just exaggerating, part of the segmented population (e.g., they are a 'why' engineer), or actually observed two engineers discuss a minute topics for hours.
Three seems a little young for STEM. Maybe something like Playskool Explore 'N Grow Busy Gears? Or the larger size legos (Duplo)?

Sure those failures were during NASA’s faster, better, cheaper era . I would argue that these failures led to cultural change at NASA that has led to their tremendous success during the last 20 years.

A guide to application penetration testing
Why is there an expectation the the Bible will talk about dinosaurs or bacteria/viruses specifically? It would not be meaningful for a book focused on the spiritual to provide a treatise on dinosaurs, bacteria/viruses, unless the authors were somehow trying hard to address possible disbelief thousands of years later, which they were not.

However, the existence of dinosaurs does not conflict with Genesis at all. The Bible simply says animals were created before man. For how long animals existed before the creation of man is not specified, it could have been millions of years. This allows for dinosaurs to have existed and gone extinct before man came along.

Also, the Bible does not talk about bacteria/viruses, but in the books of Moses, scientifically sound instructions are given as to how to curb the spread of disease through personal hygiene (e.g., burying human waste) and quarantining, etc. This implies a knowledge of the germ theory of disease. Contrast this with the ancient Egyptian "medical" practices of applying human waste poultices to open wounds, and the practice of open defecation common in many parts of the world even now.
I was reading a book to my kids yesterday that had an opening rant about how the wildfires over Australia are a massive problem and our forest management system is a disgrace globally. Flying at 10000 feet led to coughing and choking, seemed like it was everywhere in the country.

The author was Jacques Cousteau, the book was written in 1973.

Australia’s been dealing with giant wildfires forever. It’s not clear whether the fires are getting bigger or smaller with time, what impact forest management has in same, and whether smaller fires closer to population centers get more press and then make it seem like the problem is worse when it may not be.

Global heating is a slow burn, but we’re all poised to read any climate tragedy on it.

Hi Justin here from March 2 Zero.

We are aiming to create a simple site that provides challenges for folks to reduce their carbon footprint.

It's centered around the month of March, similar to some other calendar-based charities/fund-raisers which are popular here down under.

At this stage it's a basic prototype, but we are trying to build momentum by getting some interest, participation and feedback. We are also seeking funding to achieve nonprofit status, and then to build out the functionally and content for global reach (is currently AU-centric)

Thanks for checking it out. We appreciate any constructive comments re: the site or pledges. Although prefer not to encourage general climate change debate here.

Any offers of voluntary assistance in terms of UX and FE engineering will be most gratefully received.

It's pretty self-evident. You don't teach a baby to see, make sound or hear. Babies will perceive and respond. Of course the powers of perception will continue to develop but we know babies aren't born into this world tabula rasa.

Not only that we know that fetuses can perceive the world. We know fetuses recognize its mother's voice in the womb.

And premature babies benefit from hearing their mother's voice.

I think concrete things you listed like the case for pointers is not much different than Java. While why you use a pointer changes, it's simply pointer in the end, just like Java.

I'd say Go is able to put so much meaning to those fundamentals because 1. they have to, there isn't many other mechanisms 2. they can because it's still early in the evolution of the language. After some adoption and wildly different use-cases that users wants to be addressed, those patterns start to disappear and people end up with lowest common denominators, pointers being just pointers in this case.
If you want to take great notes, I've got good news and bad news. The good news is that you don't need to worry about doing it right, your aptitude and personal preference will come without any conscious thought. The bad news is that there's no shortcut except for practice, practice, practice.

Having said that, here are some of the specifics that work for me.

- This notebook: Cambridge Jotter A5 Card Cover Wirebound Notebook Ruled 200 Page. A5 means it's easy to carry everywhere. Wirebound means the pages don't flap back on their own and only one sheet needs be open at a time. 200 page is a good balance between how long each notebook lasts.

- Put a DD/MM/YYYY and a title at the top of each page, don't be too fanatical, but contextualising the notes is essential, and it helps search. Abbreviated titles and dates are fine for when the notes of single events stretch over multiple pages.

- Always write notes at everything that could be a meeting or a talk.

Everything else came with experience and I can't really put it into words, though I've always appreciated when I've taken notes under the assumption that my future self will remember nothing of the event, it's been an accurate assumption more times than I care to mention.

Don't worry about chronological order being an imperfect method of organising data, it's a strong practical heuristic.

What do you usually do with them? I suppose optimize for SEO, to get more traffic and (hopefully) more profits?
