A decent translation, but maybe not quite idiomatic. Herantasten or annähern instead of schleichen feel more appropriate.

German unemployment benefits are conditional on showing evidence that you're seeking jobs. So it's still founded on the assumption that everyone able should be working.

But dodging is just a subgoal and margin is not all that relevant. The actual goal is to defeat the player, if dodging by a slim margin happens to be the best strategy then that should not be penalized.

For drive-managed SMR drives, yes, but these seem to be host-managed ones. So the filesystem has to be aware of the zones.

Copy on write filesystems can probably be optimized for SMR by using TRIM commands to punch holes and rewrite the content sequentially in a new zone. Afaik both zfs and btrfs have plans to do this.
That way they can be useful for more than archival.

Unlike the other processes mentioned thought is computation and it is perfectly possible to run computation on wetware or on an emulator and get the same results.

The headline is misleading, they built a neural network based on fly visual neurology, not a whole fly brain.
And even if it were a full brain, effective societal consensus seems to be that insects don't have a right to humane treatment.
