Apple's Real AI Crisis Isn't Siri, But the Talent It's Losing to Rivals

Apple has hemorrhaged around a dozen artificial intelligence staff to rivals since January, making it one of the prime victims in Silicon Valley's fierce AI talent war, reports the Financial Times.


The exodus of staff from Apple's AI team over the last seven months has seen senior researchers leave variously for Meta, OpenAI, xAI, Cohere, and others. The most notable recent departure was that of Ruoming Pang, head of Apple's Foundational Models team, who joined Meta last month after being lured by CEO.

Тестирование поиска и фильтров: чек-лист + как автоматизировать каждый пункт на Playwright

Поиск кажется простым: поле ввода, запрос, список результатов. Но именно поэтому его тестируют поверхностно — «ввёл слово, что-то нашлось, ок». А реальные баги живут в граничных запросах, в тайминге (debounce, гонки), в пустых и ошибочных состояниях и в фильтрах. Ниже — двухслойный разбор: сначала что проверять, потом как это автоматизировать, с реальными сниппетами на TypeScript. Идея переносится на любой UI-фреймворк, но Playwright особенно удобен из-за встроенного перехвата сети. Читать далее Read more

Когда у вас появляется продукт с активными процессами и большим количеством пользователей, объём данных начинает расти быстрее, чем ожидалось. На старте всё выглядит достаточно просто: есть PostgreSQL, где хранятся основные сущности, есть Kafka с событиями, и кажется, что этого достаточно для решения большинства задач.Но со временем появляются новые вопросы. Команде становится недостаточно просто посчитать количество записей или получить текущее состояние объекта. Хочется понять, что происходило в системе:. Read more

Как ювелирный магазин обошел 1000+ конкурентов на Ozon и стал лидером ниши пирсинга всего за месяц

Привет, Хабр! Это Сергей Перевозчиков, основатель агентства контекстной рекламы «КонтекстЛаб». Когда ко мне обратился ювелирный бренд Vesna Jewelry, ситуация была непростой. На Ozon приходилось конкурировать с тысячами продавцов, дорогие украшения продавались слабо, а выручка практически не росла. Покупатели постоянно сравнивали товары с более дешёвыми аналогами и долго принимали решение о покупке.Мы начали с анализа ассортимента и быстро выяснили, какие товары действительно приносят деньги, а какие только.
