Google Tool Misused To Scrub Tech CEO's Shady Past From Search

An anonymous reader quotes a report from Ars Technica: Google is fond of saying its mission is to "organize the world's information," but who gets to decide what information is worthy of organization? A San Francisco tech CEO has spent the past several years attempting to remove unflattering information about himself from Google's search index, and the nonprofit Freedom of the Press Foundation says he's still at it. Most recently, an unknown bad actor used a bug in one of Google's search tools to scrub the.

When YouTube launched in 2005, the very first video ever uploaded was a 19-second clip of co-founder Jawed Karim standing in front of the elephant enclosure at the San Diego Zoo, saying nothing particularly meaningful about elephants having long trunks — and the video remains live on the platform today with more than 350 million views, as one of the most-watched home videos in human history

The first video ever uploaded to YouTube is not an event, not a viral phenomenon, not a curated piece of content, and not particularly interesting on its own terms.

Property-based testing на практике: как находить баги, о которых вы не подумали

Тридцать зелёных юнит‑тестов ещё не означают, что код готов к продакшену. Баги часто прячутся в данных, которые никто не догадался проверить вручную: пустых строках, дубликатах, редком Unicode и неожиданных последовательностях операций. Разбираемся, как Hypothesis генерирует такие случаи, проверяет свойства вместо отдельных примеров и сводит падение к минимальному контрпримеру. Читать далее Read more

Парадокс производительности в эпоху AI

Внедрение ИИ в бизнес‑процессы подарило компаниям надежду получить недвусмысленные подтверждения роста производительности труда. На поверку оказывается, что ИИ помогает некоторым сотрудникам стать более эффективными, но это никак не сказывается на прибыли компаний. У такой реинкарнации классического парадокса Солоу есть не только экономическое, но и психологическое объяснение. Особенности взаимодействия с ИИ таковы, что человек действительно оказывается «бутылочным горлышком», но при этом по‑прежнему остает Read more

EU Says Decision Not to Launch Siri AI in Europe Is Apple's Alone

The European Commission says Apple's decision not to launch Siri AI in the EU is Apple's alone, arguing that the company sought an exemption from Digital Markets Act interoperability rules instead of building a compliant privacy- and security-preserving solution. Apple, meanwhile, says regulators rejected its proposals and claims the DMA would require giving third-party AI systems overly broad access to users' devices.
