![[Перевод] Шрифт для будущего: Eurostile](https://times42.com/media/9/9/6/12443996_640x200.jpg "[Перевод] Шрифт для будущего: Eurostile")
За долгие годы Eurostile, и в частности его вариант Bold Extended, появлялся во множестве научно-фантастических проектов. Дошло до того, что само присутствие Eurostile Bold Extended в названии заявляет, что дело происходит в будущем, намного эффективнее, чем кадр с дорогостоящими эффектами.И в самом деле, Eurostile стал настолько быстрым способом задания временных рамок произведения, что когда я вижу этот шрифт в реальной жизни (а в Калифорнии это происходит довольно часто), то ощущаю,...

Индустрия строит модели на абстракциях, которые слабо связаны с реальной работой мозга и зрительного восприятия, в итоге платит за это дикой ценой в энергии и, возможно, принципиальными ограничениями. Но зрительное восприятие важнее любых архитектур ИИ.

Если хотим сдвига, надо вернуться к тому, как устроено наше Read more ›

An anonymous reader quotes a report from TechCrunch: Fictional portrayals of artificial intelligence can have a real effect on AI models, according to Anthropic. Last year, the company said that during pre-release tests involving a fictional company, Claude Opus 4 would often try to blackmail engineers to avoid being replaced by another system. Anthropic later published research suggesting that models from other companies had similar issues with "agentic misalignment." Apparently... Read more ›

cURL creator Daniel Stenberg says Anthropic's hyped Mythos bug-hunting model found only one confirmed low-severity vulnerability in cURL, plus a few non-security bugs, after he expected a much longer list. He argues Mythos may be useful, but not meaningfully beyond other modern AI code-analysis tools. "My personal conclusion can however not end up with anything else than that the big hype around this model so far was primarily marketing," Stenberg... Read more ›

Nvidia's real AI moat isn't "a piece of hardware," writes Wired's Sheon Han. It's CUDA: a mature, deeply optimized software ecosystem that keeps machine-learning workloads tied to Nvidia GPUs.
