Худший язык программирования всех времён /s

Researchers found that two key cerebellar cell types—thought to be tightly linked—often don’t behave in predictable ways, even though one directly influences the other. The finding suggests scientists may have been relying on the wrong signals when studying disorders such as dystonia, ataxia, and tremor. Read more

Apple will be using two modems in the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, according to new revelations from leaked schematics and documents that were stolen from Apple supplier Tata in a cyberattack.

Most organizations run a contested field of platforms, each claiming to be the “primary” AI layer; few could confidently detect a model drifting or failing in production; and the single most-cited barrier to control is the absence of any one owner accountable for AI across the stack.
