What went wrong with Skype?

Skype was Microsoft’s biggest-ever acquisition in 2011, a deal brokered by former CEO Steve Ballmer when the company was trying to compete with the rise of the iPhone. But after spending $8.5 billion on Skype, Microsoft dropped the ball again and again over the past 14 years, to the point where Skype was so irrelevant […]

[Перевод] Экспериментальный самолёт DARPA, управляющийся импульсами сжатого воздуха, наконец получил крылья

Компания Aurora Flight Sciences в настоящее время устанавливает крылья на экспериментальный беспилотник X-65. Это важный шаг вперёд для X-65, который предназначен для маневрирования с помощью импульсов сжатого воздуха, а не традиционных управляющих систем. Эта технология может значительно повлиять на будущие разработки военных и гражданских летательных аппаратов, особенно в том, что касается конструкций, обеспечивающих скрытность.X-65 разрабатывается в рамках программы Агентства передовых оборонных исследов Read more

[Перевод] Раньше ПО работало шустро, потому что иначе было никак

Несколько недель назад мы обсуждали Java-компонент, запускающий кластер Spark. Его основная задача — координация. Он поднимает всю необходимую инфраструктуру, прокидывает конфигурацию, дожидается нужных сигналов и отходит на второй план.Моё изначальное предложение прозвучало просто: «Ему вполне должно хватить одного ядра и 2 ГБ RAM. Это же всего лишь лаунчер». Хотя даже 2 ГБ казалось будто бы мало, ведь речь о продакшене, а не о каких-то экспериментах на личном ноутбуке. Но как... Read more

Apple’s historically high tax for RAM upgrades on Macs has now become absurd

Apple’s Mac RAM upgrades were already expensive enough to raise eyebrows. After the company’s latest round of price hikes, some of them now look ridiculous.

Машина, которая умоляет

Первое описание соцсетей появилось в 1968 году, и его автор вовсе не собирался описывать соцсети. В романе Филипа Дика “Снятся ли андроидам электроовцы?” есть устройство под названием эмпатоскоп. Берёшься за две рукоятки - и сливаешься с неким Уилбуром Мерсером, стариком, который вечно карабкается вверх по голому склону под палящим солнцем. Пока он лезет, невидимые мучители бросают в него камни. И вот что важно: все остальные, кто в эту же секунду... Read more

Анти‑кейс. Как создать технически идеальный сайт на Next.js про ИИ и нейросети и остаться без поискового трафика

Привет, Хабр! Меня зовут Борис, я инди‑хакер и разработчик. Обычно я пилю Telegram‑ботов и настраиваю автоматизации, но чуть менее года назад меня затянула идея создать собственный большой, удобный и, главное, полностью авторский веб‑проект в тематике ИИ — Нейро.PRO. Я сразу решил, что не буду использовать никакие конструкторы, шаблоны из 2010х и унылые рерайтов. Всё пишем руками (с помощью ИИ‑шки конечно же), вылизываем UX и делаем упор на пользу для людей....

If you had a Roomba, especially in the early days of the robot vacuum, it was in many ways a fairly unsophisticated machine.
