China Advances Abandoned US Nuclear Technology

Chinese scientists have achieved a significant nuclear breakthrough by successfully refueling a thorium-based reactor while it remains operational, according to reports from Chinese state media.

The experimental 2-megawatt thermal reactor, which came online in June 2024, represents the revival of technology originally developed and abandoned by the United States in the mid-20th century. The milestone was revealed during a closed meeting at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, where project leaders shared resu

Ваш код — только ваш: как AI-агент Cline работает в IntelliJ IDEA полностью офлайн

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

Серийное производство гуманоидов: Figure AI хочет покорить индустрию и конкурировать с Китаем

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

Перенос VBA-макросов в Р7-Офис: почему простой замены кода недостаточно

Многие компании в России за последние пару лет перешли с Microsoft Office на отечественный Р7-Офис. Документы открываются, интерфейс в целом знаком пользователям и, казалось бы, что ещё нужно? Однако довольно быстро обнаруживается, что часть привычных операций перестаёт работать. И причина часто находится не в самих документах, а в макросах, которые годами автоматизировали рутинные процессы.Мы тоже столкнулись с этой проблемой и решили создать для нее инновационное решение.

Кинопоиск всё-таки отключил статистику по фильмам — я создал свою на основе Letterboxd и TMDB

Недавно Кинопоиск отключил пользователям личную статистику по просмотренным фильмам — это был последний нетронутый островок функциональности, оставшийся от классической версии сайта.Неизвестно, что стояло за этим решением, но в любом случае на официальном форуме уже создаются обсуждения в защиту удалённой статистики, например тут и тут.Меня это изменение не задело — я давно уже переехал с Кинопоиска на Letterboxd.Не буду сегодня останавливаться на моих впечатлениях от Letterboxd в целом (спойлер: они смешан Read more

Falling asleep to the television isn't laziness — it's a self-soothing strategy with deep roots. But new research on broadband background noise suggests the cost is showing up in the parts of sleep you can't feel directly. Read more

Для ИИ есть бенчмарки вроде HumanEval, где модель просят написать функцию на пару строк, есть задачи уровня «сделай мне todo-лист на React». А что будет, если дать современным ИИ-агентам по-настоящему наукоёмкую задачу — реализовать алгоритм из статьи SIGGRAPH на Swift, без сторонних библиотек?Условия простые: 1 промпт = 1 реализация, без уточнений, без указаний на...
