LinkedIn Set To Start To Train Its AI on Member Profiles

LinkedIn has said it will start using some member profiles, posts, resumes and public activity to train its AI models from November 3, 2025. From a report: Users are rightly frustrated with the change, with the biggest concern isn't the business networking platform will do so, but that it's set to be enabled by default, with users instead having to actively opt out. Users can choose to opt out via the 'data for generative AI improvement' setting, however it will only apply to data collected after they opt o

[Перевод] Опасности первичных ключей UUID в SQLite и оптимизация данных

В базах данных в качестве первичных ключей часто используют случайные UUID.

В этой статье я попытаюсь помочь вам выработать более интуитивное понимание того, как влияют на производительность все. Read more

Парадокс Джевонса и будущее разработчиков: почему ИИ не сократит спрос на программистов

Если вы пишете код, или так или иначе задействованы в разработке ПО, или просто следите за тем, как ИИ меняет разработку, то наверняка слышали тревожный тезис: «Скоро ИИ будет писать код лучше людей, и разработчики станут не нужны». На интуитивном уровне кажется, что если машина делает ту же работу в 8 раз быстрее, то бизнесу нужно в 8 раз меньше людей. Но экономика и история индустрии говорят об обратном —... Read more

Both require 12GB of unified memory. Among current iPhones, that limits the more powerful AI model to the... Read more
