Google’s ‘universal AI assistant’ prototype can now do stuff for you — and you don’t even have to ask

Since its original launch at Google I/O 2024, Project Astra has become a testing ground for Google's AI assistant ambitions. The multimodal, all-seeing bot is not a consumer product, really, and it won't soon be available to anyone outside of a small group of testers. What Astra represents instead is a collection of Google's biggest, […]

Прячем метаданные в мессенджере: 2-hop onion-lite поверх обычных VLESS + Reality relay, и почему это почти бесплатно

В прошлые разы я разбирал, как мы встроили обход блокировок прямо в iOS-приложение: sing-box внутри бинарника, VLESS + Reality, relay как расходник, конфиг отдельно от сборки. Та статья закрывала ровно одну задачу: довести трафик мессенджера до сервера там, где прямое соединение режется.Но в самом конце был честный абзац, который мне не давал покоя. Я написал тогда: туннель меняет то, как соединение выглядит для цензора по дороге, и не меняет того,... Read more

Как я менял местами персонажей UMK3 на Sega Mega Drive

В этой статье я подробно разбираю последовательные шаги, которые предпринимал для замены персонажей и их портретов в Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 на Sega Genesis. Я не профессионал в реверс-инжиниринге и не претендую на исчерпывающую техническую документацию. Напротив, я намеренно оставляю в материале ложные пути и тупиковые ветки исследования — чтобы вы видели реальный процесс поиска, со всеми ошибками и неожиданными поворотами, а не только гладкий финальный результат.

Apple’s AI pitch will live or die by its privacy promise

As expected, yesterday's WWDC keynote was mostly about AI.

In this case, "right" means "with more privacy than anyone else." It's a good pitch - […] Read more
