Когда в 2023-2024 году Яндекс и Google запустили генеративные ответы поверх поисковой выдачи, классические SEO-метрики начали ломаться по одной. Позиция «1 место в SERP» больше ничего не значит, если 40-70% коммерческих запросов в нише триггерят AI-ответ выше первой ссылки. Click-through rate упал даже у тех, кто формально сохранил топ-3 - AI-ответ перехватывает часть кликов, и появляется новый класс источников: домены, которые AI цитирует в своём ответе. Туда вы либо попадаете... Read more ›

Electric vehicles are pushing scientists to tackle one of the biggest hidden energy drains inside electric motors: magnetic energy loss. Now, researchers in Japan have developed a powerful AI-driven physics model that can peer into the chaotic “maze-like” magnetic patterns inside motor materials and reveal how heat and microscopic magnetic structures trigger wasted energy.

Вот, например, Milvius(DiskANN) рассчитан на вектора размерности до 32 768, но это приближенный поиск. Но как насчёт поиска точного?В данной статье рассматривается работоспособность 1024 мерного индекса, хранилищем которого служит обычное B-дерево (насколько вообще может быть обычным такое дерево). Используемый диск - вполне себе “железный” старый добрый WD Purple, оперативная память сознательно ограничена 8 Гб. Можно ли что-то из этого выжать на рядовом десктопе за приемлемое время?

В марте 2026 многие обсуждали ситуацию с доступом к изображениям из ЛС мессенджера MAX по ссылкам, сохранённым через WebArchive. Тогда же многих не устроил ответ компании.К сожалению, ситуация хуже, чем кажется. Т.к. проблемы не видят не только в MAX, но и в других компаниях (столкнулся с этим, оповещая компании о похожих проблемах). В статье я расскажу, почему считаю ситуацию - проблемой для всех: пользователей, компании, багхантеров. И как связка "WebArchive... Read more ›

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 ›

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. An anonymous reader quotes a report from Wired: What sounds like a chemical compound banned by the FDA may be the one true moat in AI. CUDA technically stands for Compute Unified Device Architecture, but much like laser or scuba, no... Read more ›
