Диегетические игровые элементы (существующие в мире игры) — довольно привычное явление на сегодняшний день, но, несмотря на это, мало кто с ними работает на полную, добиваясь влияния на механики.

Почему антенны работают на физике XIX века, но требуют технологий XXI

Add to bookmarks Don't show Habr

AlexeyGanitsev (YADRO) @ Habr 3 place · today 04:24 EDT

Антенная техника — одна из тех редких областей, где «классика» не выходит из моды. Проектирование систем связи до сих пор опирается на фундаментальные принципы XIX века, ведь уравнения Максвелла будут другими разве что в альтернативной вселенной. Но инженерная мысль не стоит на месте: в дополнение к традиционным конструкциям приходят метаструктуры. Они позволяют решать задачи, которые раньше казались невыполнимыми — например, реализовывать отрицательный угол преломления луча. Меня зовут Алексей, я радиоинже Read more ›

Инструменты контроля качества: как заставить агента писать код, которому можно доверять

ai_fucked_up @ Habr · today 04:20 EDT

Агенты быстро генерируют код, но качество этого кода часто остаётся под вопросом. Агент может «мухлевать»: писать тесты, которые формально проходят, но ничего не проверяют, или пропускать краевые случаи, потому что о них не попросили. «Почти правильный код» компилируется и даже запускается, но полагаться на него в продакшене опасно.Чтобы не гадать, насколько можно доверять сгенерированному коду, нужны инструменты контроля качества.

Stop adding more GPUs: Weka's new storage platform reduces load by caching 100% of an AI model's pre-calculated tokens

GPU memory is the most expensive resource in production AI, and it's also the one running out fastest. Long context windows and multi-turn conversations force AI models to repeatedly recompute information they've already processed, consuming GPU memory and compute that could otherwise serve additional users or generate new responses.Instead of treating GPU memory as the limiting resource, why not extend it with much cheaper storage technologies? Weka, for one, believes... Read more ›
