    August 8. The announcement appears to be an acceleration of
    the robotaxi=

    driverless ridesharing. Some Tesla owners are
    concerned with the project=
    as it could result in Tesla focusing on

    month or so. Its goal will be to get =
    Starship's upper stage to get

    and make a controlled splat
    into the ocean. SpaceX aims to bring the Supe=
    r Heavy booster back

    could attempt to land a Starship booster on the real towe=

    HOW STACK OVERFLOW REPLACED EXPERTS EXCHANGE (19 MINUTE READ) [13]=20
    =

    This article tells the story of how and why Stack Overflow was
    create=
    d and discusses whether the site will have a place in
    engineering culture=
    over the next decade. Before Stack Overflow, there
    was Experts Exchange,=
    one of the first question-and-answer sites on
    the internet, coming into =
    existence in 1996. Experts Exchange was free
    for over a decade, but it mo=
    ved to a subscription-based model in 2004.
    This paywall created the perfe=
    ct moment for a new site to
    counter-position itself, so the creators of S=
    tack Overflow decided to
    create a more user-friendly version of Experts E=
    xchange. Stack
    Overflow launched in 2008, the same year as GitHub, Apple'=
    s App Store,
    and Airbnb. The future existence of Stack Overflow will depe=
    nd
    entirely on how well it can adapt to AI.=20

    Coral reefs are degrading at an unprece= dented rate due to pollution, overfishing, and destructive forestry and min= ing practices on land. Most corals could go extinct within a few generation=
    s. The Smithsonian=E2=80=99s National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institut= e's Reef Recovery Initiative aims to help save coral reefs using cryopreser= vation, a novel approach that involves storing and cooling coral sperm and = larvae at very low temperatures and holding them in government biorepositor= ies. The frozen assets can be used to help reseed the oceans and restore li= ving reefs even 100 years from now. Cryopreserved sperm has already been us=
    ed to produce new coral across the Caribbean.

    <strong>How Stack Overflow replaced=
    Experts Exchange (19 minute read)</strong>
    </span>



    <span style=3D"font-family: &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, Arial, V= erdana, sans-serif;">
    This article tells the story of how and=
    why Stack Overflow was created and discusses whether the site will have a = place in engineering culture over the next decade. Before Stack Overflow, t= here was Experts Exchange, one of the first question-and-answer sites on th=
    e internet, coming into existence in 1996. Experts Exchange was free for ov=
    er a decade, but it moved to a subscription-based model in 2004. This paywa=
    ll created the perfect moment for a new site to counter-position itself, so=
    the creators of Stack Overflow decided to create a more user-friendly vers= ion of Experts Exchange. Stack Overflow launched in 2008, the same year as = GitHub, Apple's App Store, and Airbnb. The future existence of Stack Overfl=
    ow will depend entirely on how well it can adapt to AI.

    OpenAI solved its data supply problem i=

    Its team ultimately transcribed more than one million hours of video to tr= ain GPT-4. Google and Meta have also similarly cut corners in the race to l= ead AI, obtaining data in legally and ethically dubious ways.
