There were hundreds of thousands of deaths of women who attempted abortion in Europe after the war. This was done via various artisanal mechanical methods.
If men were giving birth, abortion would be "obviously a choice". (I am a man and a father)
These prices are 5-6 hours old.
While working on this site, I noticed that Amazon pricing can be very dynamic.
Moreover, it could be that Amazon is returning the retail price, but because of current availability, once you land on the product page, you are shown prices from a different seller
In the less doomsday version, everyone who is responsible for a family (the guy or gal who knows how everything works in the context of money, administration, etc.) should have a "what to do when I die" booklet.
I wrote one years ago and update it with the most relevant information (how to get to my passwords (the ones that are not shared), list of bank accounts, list of investment brokers, what they will get when I die from the state and my company. I am in the process of adding "how to un-smart (or re-dumb) my house, this si a serious source of anxiety for my wife)
This is the right thing to do. Do not delay. Start small with the key information. Share with trusted people outside of your family if possible (they will be less impacted).
I shared that with my best friend I can trust my life with and one day he said "I cannot get to your bank account". To what I said, well, why are you trying to. He was running a DRP (Disaster Recovery Plan) exercise and found stuff that was not updated. I love him.
Mine is very pragmatic, I let the emotional part to the ones remaining. I just want to pake sure that financially and administratively they are fine - this I can do.

Oh yes. I am amateur-developping for 35 years and when I vibe code I let the basic, generic stuff happen and then tell the AI to refactor the way I want. It usually works.
I had the same "too boring to code" approach and AI was a revelation. It takes off the typing but allows, when used correctly, for the creative part. I love this.
The OP question was about agentic utility specifically. I've also gotten great side-project utility from AI codegen without having to marry my project to CC or give up on looking at code by simply prompting when I need something from whatever LLM.
Nothing wrong with CC, but I keep hearing the same kind of app being built -- home automation, side-project CRUD.
What I'm deeply skeptical of is the ability for agentic to integrate with a team maintaining+shipping a critical offering. If you're using LLMs for one-off PRs, great but then agentic seems like a band aid for memory etc.
Meamwhile if you're full CC/agentic it seems like a team would get out of sync.
I found that banks are one of the worst organizations when it comes to authentication. They are regulated but the requirements are completely outdated and irrelevant in a risk context.
And then you have banks such as Boursobank (a French online bank) that has weak traditional authentication (and a faulty app, but they do not care) and out of the blue also provides passkeys. Making it at the same time horribly bad and wonderfully good.
The worst part is that they hide behind regulations when in fact there are only few of them.
Other instiytutions such as SWIFT are as bad and equally arrogant.
This is like reminding that there are CVSes from 2010. Yes there are. And there are plenty of vulnerable systems.
They decided to not fix the vulns (either directly by not patching, or indirectly by not investing in cybersecurity). So exploiting them is somehow an act of mercy. They may not know they have a problem and they have an opportunity to learn.
Let's just hope they will have white or gray-ish hats teaching the lesson
Picking locks is a tradition in hacking. So morality is already off the table. Except if this is to save a cat - the offical reason for lockpicking in the 90s.
Now, the robot is hardly something you put together between dessert and coffee. Someone building this must have a live for hardware and lockpicking is just a pretext.
Does anyone even know about the classic MIT Guide to Lockpicking? Back in the day, it was so entertaining to come across this while in grad school and enjoying reading it instead of working on actual work.
We are made to be technical tinkerers, playing with tech, seeing if sending that input to that program will crash it. I see it not as a moral issue but as a technical skill, to understand how to work with systems, explore what doesn't work. That way you gain skills in how to make things work better.
This is a fantastic, fantastic backpack. I use it when flying and it fits perfectly in the Ryanair & co limits. I took one for each of my kids and all together we pack everything needed for a week+.
This is a personal item size bag for under the seat. The max size on Ryanair is 24 liters. You are thinking of the cabin bag which is more like 44 liters. This Decathlon bag is great because it maxes out the personal item size really optimally.
Hmmm. I flew last week and it was fine. They were checking most of the bags (they now have an incentive to find bags above the limits) and asked me to put mine in the metal case. It went in (reluctantly) and after shaking the whole device to get my bag out I was let go.
This is not easy to compare. When you take into account all the costs up to and after retirement this is another perspective. The cost of life is another factor.
And then of course quality of life, but that's very individual.
