Nintendo Wants To Keep 'Traditional Approach' To Development as Costs Skyrocket

Nintendo plans to maintain its "traditional approach" to game development while managing rising costs during the Switch 2 transition, company president Shuntaro Furukawa said during a recent shareholders meeting.

"Recent game software development has become larger in scale and longer in duration, resulting in higher development costs," he said, adding that "rising development costs are increasing that risk" in what has always been "a high-risk business."

Nintendo's development teams are "currently devis

«Мертвый интернет» против «замерзшего» — обсуждаем популярные конспирологические теории о будущем сети

Исследователи говорят, что трафик систем ИИ в интернете превысил человеческий. Скрейперы и краулеры собирают данные на сайтах для тонкой настройки или обучения новых моделей, а агентные системы выполняют действия от имени пользователя. Все это дало новый толчок теориям «интернет-апокалипсиса» о неизбежной кончине «человеческой» сети, в том виде, который мы знаем и любим. Разбираемся, что такое «теория мертвого интернета», что на этот счет говорят исследования и статистика, кто считает, что интернет... Read more

Оживление android-планшета глазами новичка. Как я нашел себе классную читалку на лето

По личным ощущениям, индустрия планшетов потихоньку отошла на второй план у массовых пользователей. И речь сейчас про буквально все сегменты, от недорогих устройств на Android до всей линейки iPad. Эта история осталась актуальной для гораздо более узкой прослойки людей, как будто. Я же, в свою очередь, любил свой iPad сначала mini второго поколения (еще в студенческие годы), а затем и Air 2, который дожил до 2023 года, пока его случайно... Read more

Орбитальные дата-центры Маска: фантастика или следующий этап развития ИИ?

Развитие ИИ сейчас упирается не в алгоритмы или производительность чипов. Главной проблемой становятся сами вычислительные мощности. Новые дата-центры строят по всему миру, однако вместе с этим возникает дефицит свободных ресурсов, прежде всего, воды и энергии.На этом фоне начали появляться весьма необычные идеи. Одна из них — перенести часть вычислений в космос. Именно такой подход продвигают Илон Маск и SpaceX. Компания рассматривает создание орбитальных вычислительных узлов, которые будут получать энерги Read more

Бэкпорты теперь делают боты: как Valkey пустил ИИ-агентов в мейнтенанс — и удержал контроль

Valkey (форк Redis под крылом Linux Foundation) в релизном цикле 9.1 отдал ИИ-агентам рутину мейнтенанса: бэкпорт-агент сам раскатывает фиксы по веткам 7.2/8.0/8.1/9.0, отдельный агент сканирует provenance кода на конфликт с нынешней лицензией Redis (чтобы в форк случайно не затёк несовместимый код родителя), а агентский поиск багов наткнулся на ещё закрытую CVE.
