The document provides evidence for shared ancestry between different species through structural, molecular, and genetic evidence. It discusses homologous structures found in different species like the bone structure of bat wings and whale flippers. It also discusses genomic evidence from junk DNA, endogenous retroviruses, and gene redundancy that provide evidence of shared ancestry. Finally, it notes that modern humans and Neanderthals have genomes that are 99.5% identical, providing strong genetic evidence of a shared ancestry.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

113. DARWIN’S DANGEROUS IDEA
The Classifier’s Conundrum: How to group life forms that
range in similarity across a broad continuum.
Start with a small number of self-replicating systems that
produce imperfect copies resulting in variable traits. Some
replicators gain a reproductive advantage and the traits
possessed by the most successful reproducers will, over
generations, numerically outpace traits of the less adapted
forms. Divergent lineages will naturally emerge when
interbreeding is prohibited.

171. Incredulity Creates Mental
Blind Spots
"... there are many reasons why you might not understand an explanation of a scientific
theory ... Finally, there is this possibility: after I tell you something, you just can't
believe it. You can't accept it. You don't like it. A little screen comes down and you
don't listen anymore. I'm going to describe to you how Nature is - and if you don't
like it, that's going to get in the way of your understanding it. It's a problem that
scientists have learned to deal with: They've learned to realize that whether they
like a theory or they don't like a theory is not the essential question. Rather, it is
whether or not the theory gives predictions that agree with experiment. It is not a
question of whether a theory is philosophically delightful, or easy to understand, or
perfectly reasonable from the point of view of common sense. A scientific theory
describes Nature as absurd from the point of view of common sense. And it agrees
fully with experiment. So I hope you can accept Nature as She is - absurd.
Please don't turn yourself off because you can't believe Nature is so strange. Just
hear me all out, and I hope you'll be as delighted as I am when we're through. "
- Richard P. Feynman (1918-1988)
172. 'It is interesting to contemplate a tangled bank, clothed with
many plants of many kinds, with birds singing on the bushes,
with various insects flitting about, and with worms crawling
through the damp earth, and to reflect that these elaborately
constructed forms, so different from each other, and
dependent on each other in so complex a manner, have all
been produced by laws acting around us.'
Charles Darwin
