Привет, Хабр! Меня зовут Дмитрий Гоголев, я занимаюсь развитием платформы управления виртуальной и облачной инфраструктурой Cloudlink и направлением частного облака Orion Private Cloud (OPC) в Orion soft. Многое в ИТ-инфраструктуре можно сделать своими руками. Чем больше вы занимаетесь этим, тем лучше понимаете, как это сделать… но иногда легче все-таки с автоматизацией. В большинстве случаев у DevOps уже есть набор инструментов автоматизации. Практически все используют Ansible и Terraform или их аналоги... Read more ›

Представьте: вы даёте задачу, а интеллект внутри IDE сам всё делает. Без интернета, без копилки токенов. Это уже реальность. Современная среда разработки — это не просто редактор кода, а сложный организм, где смешиваются навигация, рефакторинг, тестирование и бесконечные контекстные переключения. Встраиваемые AI-ассистенты пытаются помочь, но часто остаются просто «чатиками в панельке»: ответил — и забудь. Плагин Cline для IntelliJ IDEA идёт дальше, реализуя концепцию AI-агента, который не просто отвечает. Read more ›

Стартап Figure AI начинал с модели Figure 01 — эффектного гуманоидного робота для складов, логистики и производства. Демо выглядело как видео из будущего: робот ходит, манипулирует предметами, понимает команды и обещает закрыть задачи, где людям тяжело, скучно или опасно.Но демонстрации в робототехнике почти ничего не доказывают. Настоящая проверка ждет в цеху: перегрев приводов, сбои, плохой хват, износ, брак, забравшийся на конвейер кот. За три года Figure дошла до этой точки.... Read more ›

Longtime Slashdot reader schwit1 shares a report from PetaPixel: China dominates the consumer drone market, so it is perhaps surprising that it is no longer possible to fly or even purchase a drone in Beijing. The new law that passed last month makes it illegal to buy, rent, or fly a drone without prior approval from the authorities. Users must also complete an online training session and pass a test...

Security researcher Justin O'Leary says Google initially accepted his Config Connector privilege-escalation report as a high-priority, high-severity bug, then denied a bounty by declaring the behavior "working as intended." "Google initially rated the bug high priority and high severity, with a rep telling O'Leary 'Nice Catch!' Then, the cloud giant changed course and told O'Leary [...] that there's no vulnerability, so no fix and no reward payout," reports The Register.... Read more ›

California's proposed "billionaire tax" has gathered enough signatures to qualify for the November ballot, setting up a major fight between labor unions and some of Silicon Valley's richest figures.
