One hypothesis is that the shape of the glans penis serves to push rival sperm out of the way and behind the glans to be scooped out of the vagina.

I wouldn't call monogamy unnatural. But it may be a more recent invention for humans. We still aren't sure how long it's been the norm.

It's possible that humans used to rape more often. It's also possible that humans practiced forms of polygamy. Either way, cooperative sperm makes sense. It's one of those things where a simple mutation would provide a clear benefit over the competition.

Absolutely. My family all works in tech and we don't say anything about the Israel/Gaza war. Any time you say something that isn't unequivocally pro Israel you are opening up a can of worms. It's not worth losing your job.
Such a cool idea, and great execution.

I think people have lost the difference between defacto and dejure openness.

A proprietary software program running on your hardware is more defacto open than an AGPL SAAS running on the cloud.
Sorry but this is a garbage tier article. The research showed making carbon-based supercapacitors out of hemp waste products, which are not and will never be a replacement for the role that li-ion batteries have today. Their energy density is simply too low, and the way that this article mixes up power density with energy density doesn't make it clearer in any way.
Then it's not much of a competition. It's just more chrome market share, with a different name.
> Cambodia also fell to communism, where the new regime murdered between 1.5 million and 2 million of its people

Right. What you're leaving out is that the genocidal Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia was supported by the US and was overthrown by the communist Vietnam. I'm not trying to downplay the atrocities committed by the Viet Minh/etc. but this is an absolutely bizarre argument to bring up unless you didn't do it on purpose?

If we go back a few decades strategically the war was absolutely unnecessary. Geopolitically Vietnam and the US are natural allies (they hated/fear China far more than the US before the war and the same applies now), yet Truman and his successors literally forced North Vietnam to ally with China and the USSR because they had no other options. Of course not pissing off the French might have seemed like the better options at the time..

You don't.

Airlines can and do switch like aircraft at the last minute all the time. Do all the planning you like, but you won't know for sure until you're seated and look at the safety card.

So unless you intend to have a "Qantas never crashed" tantrum in the airport, you may be out of luck because the only airlines in the US that have not ordered the MAX are Spirit/Frontier (Greyhound with wings) and JetBlue, and they don't fly everywhere.
You mean when they replace an aerospace engineer experienced with the actual business operations and administration with someone who doesn’t know anything about aerospace engineering and learned about business management purely from a financial perspective that quality suffers?

That just shows: you never know. Perhaps something had been done to this plane too, indeed. The only thing I would exclude at this point is bad maintenance. It's so unlikely that that part needed maintenance in less than 2 months. But your example shows we really should wait for the report.

And inspect similar planes in the mean time.

One of my favourity Wirth stories is he came to give a talk at my friend's university and they asked him how to pronounce his surname, whether you say it "wirt" or "worth" and he said "Well you can call me by name or you can call me by value".

Great question!

We see ourselves targeting different segments of the market.

1) Composo focusses on non-technical users like PMs or domain experts (in contrast to dev-focussed & open-source tools like Agenta).

2) With Composo, you build your application in code in a codebase (rather than building it in a low-code UI builder, like Humanloop). This enables teams to develop & test applications of any level of complexity, with no constraints on functionality.
That was a runway incursion, nothing Airbus could have done about it anyway. Except building their plane as safe as possible, of course.

That said, no one died in this incident either.
USAF was (and I suspect still is, given KC-46) happy to go with Airbus, it was GAO[1][2] who intervened alleging corruption and mishandling to give Boeing the platter instead.

The genocide happened in the mid to late 70s, a couple of years after the US had already withdrawn from Vietnam.

Why did the US decide to support the Khmer Rouge only after they have significantly intensified their campaign of mass murder?

I can probably make some space for a home gym, but like I said earlier part of the motivation going to the gym is to see other people working out and being serious at it. I am no longer an advanced "lifter" because of certain injuries and disorders that were diagnosed but I do LOVE the stairmaster at the gym and it is best for my health problems, and that kind of equipment is not something you can easily keep at home (you need a tall ceiling too), so I do need specialized machines in that regards. As far as weight training is concerned I can probably survive on a home gym.
Yes, great point, difference is that this Langsmith is more focussed on dev users, rather than the PM/domain expert users.
And langsmith is also more on the observability, monitoring side, whereas we are more about testing & optimisation while in development
Seems many people have ideas for adding features. But nobody is really talking about whether they are using it in their day to day (or would use it).

My primary use case would be setting up a meeting across timezones, but my calendar app already shows me overlapping times.

Or knowing what time it is for family or a friend, but then that becomes second nature if you’ve been in different timezones for a while.

Or just seeing what time it is somewhere right now, but phones have multiple clocks, or a “what time is it in x?” search answers the question.

If the many suggested features are added, would you use it? How will this help you?
Which is a bit of white-washing, considered that the original 737 not only had a design fault that led to accidents. The issue was rudder reversal caused by using single actuator instead of two, which turns out could "flip" part of its construction at times.
> It is a software engineer’s job to build quality software.

It’s our job to deliver value to the business at a rapid and maintainable way. Rapid changes are often worth more to the business than maintainability, even over a period of many years. In some cases you could put a non software engineer down and let them build something with ChatGPT and it would work perfectly fine for the next 5-10 years because it’s focused on something particular, doesn’t change much and lives in isolation from the greater IT landscape. In other cases all your points are extremely valid.

That being said we also work in an industry where a lot of “best practices” often turn out to be anti-patterns over a period of a decade. OOP is good in theory, and I know why we still teach it in academia, but in practice it very often lead to giant messes of complexity that nobody really knows how works. Not because the theory is wrong, but because people write code on Thursday afternoons after a week of no sleep and a day of terrible meetings.

After a few decades in the industry, what I personally prefer isn’t any particular approach. No, what I prefer is that things are build in isolated services, so that they only handle their particular business related responsibilities. This way, you can always alter things in isolation and focus on improving code that needs it. It also means that some things can be build terrible, and be just fine, because the quality of the tiny service doesn’t really get to “matter” over its life time.

I personally write code that follows most of our industry’s common best practices. Because it’s frankly faster once you get used to it, but I’ve seen really shitty spaghetti code perform its function perfectly and never need alteration in the 5-10 years it needed to live before being replaced.

No, it literally isn't.

They are two separate and unrelated legal concepts. I'm sorry but you are literally wrong.

A "right" is something a state body (and usually third parties) must actively facilitate. I am required to get a fair trial, and if that needs the stare to wait to try me or build more courthouses they must proactively do that.

A defense is not. A defense is literally just "we will not find you guilty or liable in court due to this." But nobody is required to go out of the way to help you achieve it. You just can't be sued or suffer a criminal penalty for it.

Every shower head is a minor restriction on flow compared to the bath faucet. It may or not be negligible. But a bath drawn for the same faucet runtime will use more water than the same runtime for a shower every time. The crossover in cost happens when the shower uses more water than the bath. That should happen very shortly after the time it takes to fill a bath. At one house, our bath took 40 minutes to fill, another 15-20, and another took under 10.
It's just comparing two different things: the average "bad code from scientist" is for simple tasks, whereas the average "bad code from software engineer" is for a complicated task (otherwise you shouldn't pay the software engineer in the first place).

My point about the rant being counter-productive is that the solution is to learn how to do the task better, not to blame people. Maybe the best way to do a task with a very low budget is to not do it at all.
Thanks for reminding me, this is such old history facts get fuzzy in my memory.

Don't think this is the biggest danger. In a few years if they continue to improve at the current speed these models can become really dangerous. E.g. an organization like ISIS can feed one some books and papers on chemistry and ask it "I have such and such ingredients available, what is the deadliest chemical weapon of mass destruction i can create". Or use it to write the DNA for a deadly virus. Or a computer virus. Or use one to contact millions of say Muslim young men and try to radicalize them.

Unlikely an airline that doesn’t own or lease a max will swap one in.

This would show the effect you want. Code like tests are likely to be very verbose, while often the actual vulnerability will come down to a handful of characters.

Only in the short term. TheGraph is migrating from a centralised service to a decentralised network and the community can run alternative oauth servers to help mitigate attacks. I'm no cybersecurity specialist though.

Also, the data is always available on-chain and the protocol is open so other people can write an alternative ui with their own blockchain query capabilities. Like Bress.xyz does with Mirror.xyz.

Payments can be automated on-chain.

Except the war in Vietnam was fundamentally different to that in North Korea. It was a direct outcome of the French colonial war in the early 50s which the US decided to support for semi-absurd reasons ("domino theory").

Geopolitically China was always a much bigger threat to Vietnam than anyone else so had the US made the right choices in the 40s and 50s it would've been easy to turn it into a state which was friendly or at least neutral towards the US (like Yugoslavia for instance).

Congrats, you used design patterns.
That resounds with me: reading fiction is a great way to share the life of other people. Some prefer movies for this, but it's only after ready novels that I've sometimes thought of people as if I had met them in real life. As a teenager, there were days where most of my thoughts went to Piotr Bezhoukov, Lev Mychkine, Rogojine... I was partly living in 19th century Russia.

There's another way to discover history through fiction, which is to read old books and try to understand the author's point of view. For instance, going on with your example of colonialism-slavery, I remember reading "Gone with the wind": I was astonished by the author's racism. Not a slaver's racism, but the permeating belief that Black people where inferior people, a kind of a big children, with big feelings and little intelligence.

I've also learned to be wary of history books, which are sometimes very imaginative (like the tale about about José Figueres in the OP's excerpt) and other times bent to suit the author's beliefs. If I'm really interested in the subject, I usually search for multiple sources.
While the only currently known Von Neumann replicator is organic life, my bet is that a robotic one will be made at the latest by the end of century unless some major global catastrophe happens first.

Might turn out that organic life is pretty optimal already and we still dominate in numbers, or not, that kind of specific is really difficult to guess at even once the first example gets made (look at all the people looking at each version of GenAI, or even video game graphics 30 years before GenAI, and arguing that no further improvements are possible; or in the other direction, Concorde was both the first and the last supersonic passenger liner).
"It’s the same story, really: It is a software engineer’s job to build quality software. A scientists job is to solve problems."

That's not the distinction. Good software engineers solve problems. That's what the paycheck is for. The distinction is whether code has to be maintained.

It's the scientist's job to solve a specific problem at a specific time. Who cares if the metaphorical wood rots next winter, the paper's been published.

It's _often_ the software engineer's job to build things that deliver business value over years, evolving and expanding requirements, in a development team, without grinding to a halt under the weight of accumulated complexity.

"Quality" software engineering is just heuristics for keeping the pace of change high over time without breaking things.
Focus on high value work that can't be automated is terrible advice?
Which were connected to the very expensive machine that a whole household shared.

In mid-late 90s central Texas, a well-off family might have had one PC and a second phone line shared between Internet access and the kids, as well as a dot matrix printer or even an inkjet (ink was a LOT cheaper back then), but only the most indulged (or nerdy, spending their savings on that instead of driving expenses) kids would have had their own PCs.

> Of course not pissing off the French ...

In the grand scheme of things, from a western PoV at the time at least two other factors loomed large in geopolitics:

* The French were the pipeline for very hi grade uranium yellowcake out of Africa which was a seething silent unspoken proxy war for Cold War resources. Appeasing the French in many small ways made sense for the US.

* All the European colonial powers were rapidly transitioning to being post WWII former colonial powers and the West was rife with fear that former countries that survived quite well on their own pre European colonisation would turn into anti-West proto communist countries.

Fleeting baby democracies | self governance movements in SE Asia and elsewhere were being crushed and strong man autocracies that paid lip service to being friendly to US hegemony got much support.

I recently had to draw some diagrams for documenting something. After looking at various Markdown-friendly options I landed on svgbob[1]. I believe it's a superior solution to these kinds of graph drawing tools for Markdown for one specific reason: the code is still readable. When I go to look at a Markdown file I don't always open the output. I will commonly open up a README file in Vim or just cat it to the terminal. In this case diagrams like those in this post is next to useless. I'm not going to read through some complex drawing definitions and try to visualise the results. With svgbob (or Typograms[2] or any of the other similar options) you can still read the Markdown text document and see the diagrams which is great!

Of course this comes with a tradeoff, drawing the diagrams can be a bit of a pain. But I believe this can be solved by a good Markdown editor or editor plugin. Alternatively a spec like this could be converted into an svgbob-compatible diagram.

One last thing to consider, if you are writing little a CRUD app, it can be very simple, you can keep it in your head.

However, Can you?

You are using black box code from a web server, a sql database, the operating system, crypto libraries, and a ton more; You don't dive into that source code except in extraordinary circumstances, if you even can. In a large program, you end up treating code owned by you or your company as the same way.

In this scenario you are still making large meaningful changes by focusing on the level of abstraction you are at.
> "Strong" typing often is wrongly used as a term for static typing.

Minor contradiction: the distinction between strong and static typing is modern. From wikipedia:

> In 1974, B. Liskov and S. Zilles defined a strongly-typed language as one in which "whenever an object is passed from a calling function to a called function, its type must be compatible with the type declared in the called function."
That's almost an apples to oranges comparison. The situations in Korea and Vietnam were only similar on a very superficial level so it's a very disingenuous argument..

Also at the time the South Korean regime was about as brutal and oppressive as the Northern one. The situation barely improved in the 50s and 60s, after all South Korea only became a democracy in 1987 after all...
The first distinction here should be what kind of "code" are we talking about. As far as I see there are two main possibilities:

1. code for performing a scientific simulation or analysis (a script).
2. code for solving a specific problem generally (a program).

There are different "best practices" for the two situations above. And the article primarily talks about applying "best practices" from the 2nd scenario to the 1st. Of course they don't apply.
