Trace Points в C++: диагностика production-систем без перезапуска

Одна из самых неприятных особенностей production-проблем заключается в том, что они почти никогда не происходят тогда, когда разработчик готов их исследовать.Во время разработки всё работает. На тестовом стенде тоже всё выглядит нормально. Логи кажутся вполне достаточными, а диагностическая информация — продуманной и аккуратно организованной. Но затем в production внезапно появляется странная проблема: соединение иногда сбрасывается без видимой причины, один запрос из нескольких тысяч начинает вести себя ин Read more

«Сто вопросов» взрослому энтерпрайзу: как мигрировать в облако без API

Особенно когда приходится защищать перед техлидами нестандартные решения — например, миграцию вообще без использования облачного API.В идеальном мире миграция работает как часы: контроллер подключается к платформе по API, автоматически создает сети, разворачивает машины и переносит данные.

Anthropic Says 'Evil' Portrayals of AI Were Responsible For Claude's Blackmail Attempts

Anthropic later published research suggesting that models from other companies had similar issues with "agentic misalignment." Apparently... Read more
