Earlier this week looters who stole iPhones "got an unexpected message from Apple," reports the Economic Times.
"Please return to Apple Tower Theatre. This device has been disabled and is being tracked. Local authorities will be alerted."
Stolen phones "were remotely locked and triggered alarms, effectively turning the devices into high-tech bait. Videos circulating online show the phones flashing the message while blaring loudly, making them impossible to ignore."
According to LAPD Officer Chris Mille

Всем привет, меня зовут Михаил, я работаю главным экспертом (Java/Kotlin) в ОТП Банке.Сегодня я хочу обсудить тему, которая на первый взгляд не кажется очевидной для разработчика, но именно она показывает зрелость и профессионализм.Умение говорить "нет" - один из самых важных скилов в разработке. Ни знание фреймворков, ни владение языками программирования не сравнится с этим навыком.Сказать "нет" бывает тяжело. Особенно в начале пути, когда ты еще молод и боишься. Боишься, что... Read more ›

Всем привет! Меня зовут Сизов Василий и я работаю лидером кластера "ML CRM и ML клиентский опыт" в ВТБ. Мы с несколькими командами разрабатываем как классические модели, так и полноценные сервисы с LLM.Это история одного пет-проекта на выходные, который вырос в небольшой фреймворк. Я расскажу, как поднять весь ML-стек для RAG одной командой, как разрезать книгу на правильные чанки, как вообще устроен Graph RAG (на примере Microsoft GraphRAG), почему я... Read more ›

Пока индустрия ждала планового релиза, OpenAI, похоже, втихую запустила A/B-тестирование GPT-5.6 Pro для части пользователей. Никаких анонсов, только внезапно возросшее время генерации (до 20-40 минут) и результаты, которые заставляют переосмыслить возможности LLM. Как насчет полностью функционального симулятора жизни со сложным стейт-менеджментом, NPC и системой профессий, сгенерированного в одном HTML-файле без использования IDE и сторонних фреймворков? Спойлер: модель теперь понимает не только код, но и. Read more ›

Чат как интерфейс упирается в потолок. Текст хорош, когда ответ это объяснение или код. Но на запрос «покажи продажи за квартал и сравни с прошлым годом» модель отвечает стеной чисел, в которой ничего не покрутить. Хочется другого: интерактивный дашборд прямо в чате, который при следующей реплике не пересобирается с нуля, а аккуратно обновляется. Очевидное решение — попросить модель сгенерировать React-компонент — оказывается тупиком. Вывод нестабилен: один и тот же промпт... Read more ›

Futurism reports: in a new essay for The Chronicle Higher Education, university-level literature and writing instructor Tyler Jagt recalls how not a single one of his students could get through an assigned 20-page article, something that he had read "without complaint" as an undergraduate a decade ago. One student confessed that the reason they didn't finish was that they kept losing track of what the paper was about. And there's... Read more ›

An anonymous reader quotes a report from The Guardian: Voters in Switzerland have rejected an unprecedented far-right proposal to cap the country's population at 10 million in a divisive referendum dubbed "the Swiss Brexit." Some 54.79% of voters were against the proposal by the Swiss People's party (SVP) and 45.21% were in favor. Turnout was 58.86%.

BrianFagioli writes: Google CEO Sundar Pichai delivered Stanford University's 2026 commencement address, but despite leading one of the companies at the center of the AI boom, he spent very little time discussing artificial intelligence. Instead, the speech focused on optimism, working on hard things, and following your interests. The omission is notable given how many graduates are entering a job market being reshaped by AI. While Pichai briefly referenced a... Read more ›

Longtime Slashdot reader necro81 writes: The heavily promoted, $499 T1 "Trump Phone" was originally said to be "Made in the USA" and ship in September 2025. Later, that was downgraded to "Assembled in the USA." Given the Trump Organization's lack of engineering or supply chain expertise, many assumed the "T1" would just be a private-label phone made by someone else. After a number of delays, the first phones are finally... Read more ›

An anonymous reader quotes a report from Ars Technica: A decade ago, AMD added a protection to its high-end CPUs to protect them against cold boot attacks and other types of physical exploits that siphon sensitive data out of the connected memory chips. Short for Transparent Secure Memory Encryption, TSME encrypts the entire contents stored in memory, making the data useless to physical attackers. Over time, AMD added TSME to... Read more ›
