С чего начать тестирование LLM: 5 проверок из практики

Вам дали фичу на LLM — чат-бот, агент, голосовой ответчик.

EES в европейских аэропортах: почему цифровая граница оказалась сложнее, чем замена штампа в паспорте

Новая Entry/Exit System, или EES, задумывалась как один из ключевых элементов цифровой границы Шенгенской зоны: вместо ручных паспортных штампов система должна автоматически фиксировать въезд, выезд и отказ во въезде для граждан третьих стран, приезжающих на короткий срок. Она собирает данные документа, дату и место пересечения границы, фотографию лица и отпечатки пальцев, а с 10 апреля 2026 года, по заявлению Еврокомиссии, стала полностью операционной во всех странах Шенгена, использующих систему.Парадокс.

Skill of the week: Spring Data JDBC — качество Opus на модели за копейки

Ранее в рубрике Skill of the Week мы уже разбирали Skill для Spring Data JPA. И, что предсказуемо, в комментариях нашлись те, кто увидел в нём лишнее доказательство простого тезиса: «вот видите, JPA не нужна, она слишком сложная». Аргумент понятный — у AI Agent-а с JPA действительно регулярно случаются «пожары»: ошибки в настройке связей между сущностями, странности с конфигурацией базовых типов, путаница с контекстом персистентности и разными состояниями сущности.
