How a semiconductor veteran turned over a century of horticultural wisdom into AI-led competitive advantage For decades, a ritual played out across ScottsMiracle-Gro’s media facilities. Every few weeks, workers walked acres of towering compost and wood chip piles with nothing more than measuring sticks. They wrapped rulers around each mound, estimated height, and did what company President Nate Baxter now describes as “sixth-grade geometry to figure out volume.”Today, drones glide over those same plants wit

Диагностика CIO: как понять, на какую роль вы реально тянете и что делать дальше

Самая частая ошибка сильного IT-руководителя - думать, что хороший опыт сам по себе делает его подходящим для любой CIO-роли. На практике это почти никогда не работает.Можно иметь большой стаж, управлять людьми, вести крупные проекты, пережить несколько трансформаций и всё равно не попадать в нужный профиль. Не потому, что вы слабый, а потому что рынок ищет не «в общем сильного человека», а конкретный тип CIO под конкретную среду.Именно поэтому первый шаг... Read more

Почему rsync ≠ гарантия целостности данных. Как я проверяю бэкапы и нахожу расхождения

Работа с rsync и многими другими утилитами для бэкапирования несёт в себе совершенно не очевидную и от этого особенно недооценённую опасность — риск получить рассинхронизацию содержимого файлов, о которой никто и никогда не узнает до того, пока не станет поздно. Статья задумана как рассказ об очень интересной, но малоизвестной утилите precizer. С её помощью можно контролировать целостность данных при синхронизации, бэкапировании или восстановлении файлов. Программа вполне удобно организована и позволяет... Read more

Проклятие Бога Солнца: как потомки конкистадоров расплачиваются за грехи предков

Многие инженерные решения выглядят единственным разумным вариантом в момент их принятия. Альтернативы кажутся слишком дорогими, сложными и непривычными. Горизонт планирования ограничен несколькими десятилетиями, тогда как проблемы могут проявиться через 100, а то и через 500 лет.Именно это происходит в Мехико: город проседает на сантиметры каждый месяц, а в наиболее пострадавших кварталах — на 50 сантиметров в год. Проблема заложена почти 500 лет назад, описана 100 лет назад — и она... Read more

Agentic AI is now a core part of the engineering process, driving massive execution leverage and helping us generate more code than ever before. Yet, a difficult question I’ve increasingly heard from business leaders is: if we’re shipping code faster than ever, why aren’t our products improving at the same rate?The reason is that writing code was never the rate limiter. Defining the right requirements, integrating with complex systems, and... Read more

In Q1 2026, VentureBeat's Pulse Research surfaced the “Governance Mirage”: the gap between the governance org charts enterprises had drawn and the control layers they had actually built. Forty-three percent said a central team owned AI governance; 23% couldn't agree on who owned it at all; and 31% named vendor opacity as the single biggest obstacle.This new wave of research asks the next question: Once you've admitted the governance problem,...

On-device AI models have stayed small because the entire weight set has to live in DRAM, capping practical parameter counts well below what server-side deployments use. Enterprise architects evaluating agentic workloads have had to choose between capable cloud-dependent models and limited on-device ones. Apple's third-generation foundation models, announced at WWDC26, break that constraint by moving the weight set off DRAM entirely.The AFM 3 family was developed in collaboration with Google...

Engineering teams building agentic coding pipelines now have a concrete open-source alternative to managed models like Claude Fable 5 — one that runs on a single H100. The tradeoff: Cohere's North Mini Code, which launched Tuesday, generated three times the output tokens of comparable models in independent testing, a verbosity cost that compounds in high-volume production workloads.The new open-source model is a 30 billion parameter mixture-of-experts (MoE) model with 3...
