A study published in Transportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspectives investigates how ants avoid traffic jams.... Quoting the abstract: "The results show that ants adopt specific traffic strategies (platoon formation, quasi-constant speed and no overtaking maneuvers) that help avoid jam phenomena, even at high density."
"Researchers are now studying these insects' cooperative tactics to learn how to program self-driving cars that don't jam up," writes Scientifi

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 ›

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 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.

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 ›

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....

While the Rust Foundation has a Security Initiative to protect its ecosystem, "the threats have expanded," they announced this week, "and so has the kind of help maintainers need." Much of this comes back to a single shift: Automated tooling (much of it now built on large language models) has gotten good enough to surface real vulnerabilities in open source code quickly and at scale. That is useful, and several... Read more ›

Tech Times reports: Linux 7.2's merge window closed out a cleanup campaign on Friday that most kernel developers had stopped expecting to see end: the complete removal of strncpy(), a C string-copy function that the kernel's own documentation labels "actively dangerous," from every subsystem, driver, and architecture-specific file in the kernel source tree. The merge landed June 20, 2026. After around 362 commits spread across six years of incremental work,... Read more ›
