If you're among the roughly 43% of couples whose first marriage ended in divorce, you understand the challenges -- emotionally and financially -- of moving on. But did you know that it's possible your ex will claim spousal benefits based on your work record? While you've likely gone out of your way to work out issues related to shared property and retirement accounts like your 401(k) , whether or ...
If you're among the roughly 43% of couples whose first marriage ended in divorce, you understand the challenges -- emotionally and financially -- of moving on. But did you know that it's possible your ex will claim spousal benefits based on your work record? While you've likely gone out of your way to work out issues related to shared property and retirement accounts like your 401(k) , whether or not your ex makes a Social Security claim based on your work record is out of your hands. Here's everything you might want to know about when an ex-spouse can claim spousal benefits. Image source: Getty Images. Continue reading

Bombardier ( BDRBF ) and Vista Monday announced a long-term services agreement focused on Bombardier’s Smart Parts programs for the aviation company’s recent order of Challenger 3500 aircraft and a large portion of its existing fleet. Bombardier’s new services agreement tailored to Vista is valued at $300M over the next five years. The bespoke agreement will provide Vista with an essential cost-per-flight hour framework to maximize convenience and cost protection for parts, according to a statement. This services agreement follows the April 15 announcement of Vista taking possession of its first Global 8000 aircraft and the February 11, 2026, announcement of firm orders by Vista and its commonly controlled entities of 40 Challenger 3500 business aircraft, with purchase options for an additional 120 aircraft. The market value of the orders based on 2026 list prices is valued at $1.18B. If all purchase options are exercised, the total order value for all 160 aircraft would reach $4.72B.

Seville could see 34C this week and parts of Brazil could hit high 30s, while storms forecast in southern Africa Over the course of this week, temperatures in Spain are expected to soar well above the seasonal average. Daytime temperatures could reach about 30C in Madrid on Tuesday, 10C above the norm, while Seville may see 34C, about 9C above its late April average. An area of low pressure situat...
Seville could see 34C this week and parts of Brazil could hit high 30s, while storms forecast in southern Africa Over the course of this week, temperatures in Spain are expected to soar well above the seasonal average. Daytime temperatures could reach about 30C in Madrid on Tuesday, 10C above the norm, while Seville may see 34C, about 9C above its late April average. An area of low pressure situated out in the Atlantic will allow for a south-westerly flow, introducing warm air from north Africa. In addition to this heat, a notable dust plume is expected to travel northwards from the Sahara, covering the skies above Iberia and south-western France, which may lead to some particularly orange or red skies at sunrise and sunset. In Brazil, high temperatures are forecast for the states of São Paulo, Paraná, Mato Grosso do Sul and Santa Catarina over the next few days, eventually spreading into Minas Gerais. Here, daytime maximum temperatures are expected to reach the high 30s Celsius later in the week, about 5-10C above the seasonal average. Continue reading...

A documentary about Peter Sichel – the ‘Jewish James Bond’ who died in 2025 – includes striking mea culpas about the cost and efficacy of US involvement in the Middle East In New York social circles, he was known as the “Jewish James Bond”: a refugee from Nazi Germany whose gratitude to his American hosts was such that he volunteered to join the US army and became the CIA’s first station chief in Berlin as a mere twentysomething, filing early warnings about Soviet activity that have been credited with ringing in the Cold War. Like 007, Peter Sichel also appreciated a fine tipple, and after leaving the US foreign intelligence service it was he who briefly turned a sweet German white, Blue Nun, into one of the best-selling wines in the world.

如果摔断了手、打了两个月石膏，工作却不能停，程序员该怎么办？Anthropic 的研究员、《构建高效智能体》合著者 Erik Schluntz 的答案是： 全权交给 Claude 。 如今，随着 AI 强势重塑软件行业的规则，Vibe Coding 已经变成了企业想要成倍提升生产力时，绕不开的一道必答题。 几个月前，Schluntz 带着他被迫「全自动化办公」的奇妙经历走到台前，和大家一起探讨一个略带争议的话题： 如何在生产环境中负责任地进行 Vibe Coding？ 这个演讲干货十足，最近几天又在 X 上火了起来，网友 Movez 甚至盛赞其胜过 100 门付费课程。 本着 Vibe Coding 的精神，我们也在 AI 的帮助下对 Schluntz 的演讲进行了整理。 定义「氛围编程」 很多人将重度使用 Cursor 或 Copilot 等 AI 工具生成代码等同于氛围编程。事实并非如此，只要开发者依然与模型保持着逐行修改与审查的紧密反馈循环，这就无法称之为真正的「氛围」。 Andre Karpathy 对此给出了更为精准的定义：「 完全沉浸于氛围，拥抱技术发展的指数级增长，并且彻底忘记代码的存在。 」 这种工作模式彻底降低了开发门槛，让缺乏工程背景的人群也能独立开发完整应用。但在过去，这种开发模式的成功案例往往局限于个人游戏或低风险项目。一旦非专业人士将这套模式搬入真实的生产环境，常常会导致耗尽 API 额度、绕过订阅验证甚至随意篡改数据库等失控情况。 为什么要拥抱指数级增长？ 既然高风险的商业环境中存在不可控因素，我们为何还要推进这项技术？核心驱动力在于 AI 能力的「指数级增长」 。 目前，AI 能够独立处理的任务长度大约每 7 个月就会翻一倍。今天 AI 能够稳定完成耗时 1 小时的编码任务，开发者尚有精力逐行审查。到了明年甚至后年，当 AI 能够一次性生成相当于人类 1 天甚至 1 周工作量的代码时，如果依然坚持传统的同步审查与修改，人类工程师必将成为算力爆发的瓶颈。 我们可以参考编译器的发展史。早期的开发者可能并不信任编译器，依然会去检查底层的汇编代码。随着系统规模的扩大，开发者必须学会信任更高层级的抽象。面向未来，整个软件工程界同样需要提前思考：如何在生产环境中安全且负责地接纳大模型直接生成的系统。 寻找可验证的抽象层与「叶子节点」策略 在生产环境...
