And when it feels easier to just spend freely, tracking her net worth has helped keep her focused. "That gives us another safety net," Pham says, noting the pension as an added benefit to working in public service. "By then, we should have at least $2 million in net worth.

Yet there’s been an acute debate around this very question here in America in recent days. Most Americans assess this conflict the way they do many others: at arm’s-length and an ocean away. And they do so through the prism of their own sense of fairness and justice. It is a part of who they are and how they think. And it is with that compass that many of them evaluate the broader dispute over Israel’s control of the Palestinian territories and the immediate conflict between Israel and Hamas.

Evolution occurs, it holds, when these various configurations are subject to selection for useful functions. "We have well-documented laws that describe such everyday phenomena as forces, motions, gravity, electricity and magnetism and energy," Hazen said. The subsequent generation of stars that formed from the remnants of the prior generation then similarly forged almost 100 more elements. "Imagine a system of atoms or molecules that can exist in countless trillions of different arrangements or configurations," Hazen said. "Only a small fraction of all possible configurations will 'work' - that is, they will have some useful degree of function.

☆ ‘Healthy eating’ curriculum can do more harm than good

Editor’s note: Oona Hanson is a parent coach in private practice and a family mentor at Equip, an eating disorder treatment program. In my work supporting parents and guardians whose children have eating disorders, the process of navigating school nutrition units can be particularly fraught. Most teachers don’t realize that delivering a nutrition lesson can be “leading an expedition into a minefield,” according to Zoë Bisbing, an eating disorder therapist in New York City. Nutrition curriculum has an effect on students, but families play a major role in helping children learn about food. Following typical “healthy eating” guidance to try to lose weight can mean “missing much-needed nutrition at a time when teens have a high need for calories and nutrients for growth and development.”Triggering an eating disorder isn’t the only unintended impact of nutrition lessons.

Prada and Axiom Space are collaborating to create NASA's new spacesuits for its 2025 lunar mission. Prada engineers will develop design features and adapt materials to the harsh climate around the moon. NASA revealed in 1974 that spacesuits are costly and that it spent $15 to $20 million on them at the time. AdvertisementAdvertisementItalian luxury fashion house Prada is collaborating with commercial space company Axiom Space to design NASA's new spacesuits for its Artemis III mission in 2025 so astronauts can fly in style, Prada and Axiom Space announced Wednesday. NASA hired Axiom Space in June 2022 to build its latest spacesuits after revealing it had spent $420 million since 2017 trying to develop its own suits.

☆ Albert Einstein used to ponder these 5 mind-melting questions for fun. Can you figure them out?

"One sees in this paradox the germ of the special relativity theory is already contained," Einstein wrote in his "Autobiographical Notes." This is a cornerstone of Einstein's special theory of relativity. One of Einstein's thought experiments had to do with quantum entanglement, which he called "spooky action at a distance."

☆ The Queen’s question returns with a vengeance
▼ + stars: | 2023-10-06 | by ( Felix Martin | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +7 min

The world’s leading central banks had spent the previous two decades focusing on low inflation, neglecting risks to financial stability. Central bankers counter correctly that predictive accuracy is not the same as explanatory power. Yet it is far from clear how today’s independent central banks should respond to these overtly political struggles. In 2021, when the Phillips Curve was asleep at the wheel, the growth in the money supply was flashing red. The unfortunate truth is that there are many answers to the Queen’s question this time round – but no single magic solution.

By Guy FaulconbridgeMOSCOW (Reuters) -President Vladimir Putin on Thursday held out the possibility that Russia could resume nuclear testing for the first time in more than three decades and might withdraw its ratification of a landmark nuclear test ban treaty. The Kremlin chief said there was no need to change Russia's nuclear doctrine however, as any attack on Russia would provoke a split-second response with hundreds of nuclear missiles that no enemy could survive. "I think no person of sound mind and clear memory would think of using nuclear weapons against Russia," Putin told a meeting of the Valdai Discussion Club in the Black Sea resort of Sochi. He noted that the United States had signed the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test Ban Treaty but not ratified it while Russia had signed and ratified it. In February, Putin suspended Russia's participation in the New START treaty that limits the number of nuclear weapons each side can deploy.

☆ A financially independent 32-year-old who grew up in a cash-strapped household shares the simple but life-changing money advice he received from a high school teacher

Without the encouragement of his teacher, he wouldn't have started investing as early as he did — and may not have even started at all. One of the most popular passive investing approaches is to buy an index fund. Insider has spoken to a handful of investors who have used index investing to build wealth . More than 95% of their stock-market money is in three index funds : the Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund ( VTSAX ), the Vanguard Total International Stock Index Fund ( VTIAX ), and the Vanguard Emerging Markets Stock Index Fund ( VEMAX ). But she learned through trial and error that investing in index funds is simple and effective.

☆ OpenAI's ChatGPT can actually make workers perform worse, a new study found

Workers using OpenAI's ChatGPT may actually perform more poorly than those who don't, new BCG research finds. AdvertisementAdvertisementIf you're using ChatGPT as a shortcut at work, you may want to be extra careful. For tasks "inside the frontier," consultants using AI were "significantly more productive" and "produced significantly higher quality results" than those who weren't using the chatbot. BCG's findings demonstrate a cautionary tale for workers thinking about using ChatGPT to help do their jobs. AI-generated errors may only get worse: In a recent paper, AI researchers found that generative AI models could soon be trained on AI-generated content — a phenomenon they call "model collapse."

Wendy’s saw a reduction in 88 seconds, Chick-fil-A by 73 and Carl’s Jr. by 43. Fast food giants have been racing to improve their drive-thrus in a race to speed up service. Service time also decreased by 4 seconds, while total drive-thru time decreased by 29 seconds. But Chick-fil-A continued to dominate in fastest total time by car, which divides the average total time by the average cars in line. McDonald’s test location lagged behind in accuracy compared to other fast food restaurants, the survey found.

☆ OpenAI offers a way for creators to opt out of AI training data. It's so onerous that one artist called it 'enraging.'

Artists and image owners can now ask OpenAI to remove their images from DALL-E training data. OpenAI recently unveiled a new form that image owners and creators can use to request that owned or copyrighted images be removed from DALL-E training data. AI models need high quality, and human generated training data to perform well. "Enraging"Toby Bartlett, an artist with a namesake consulting firm, wrote on Threads that OpenAI's DALL-E opt-out process is "enraging." Or, as OpenAI put it, its model will have "learned from their training data" and be able to "retain the concepts that they learned."
