China Lagging in AI Is a 'Fairy Tale,' Mistral CEO Says

Claims that Chinese technology for AI lags the US are a "fairy tale," Arthur Mensch, the chief executive officer of Mistral, said. From a report: "China is not behind the West," Mensch said in an interview on Bloomberg Television at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland on Thursday. The capabilities of China's open-source technology is "probably stressing the CEOs in the US."

The remarks from the boss of one of Europe's leading AI companies diverge from other tech leaders at Davos, who reassured.

Nine divorce attorneys all pointed to the same invisible skill that separates couples who last from couples who split — and none of them mentioned love. The answer is relational repair: the quiet, unglamorous ability to come back to each other after a rupture. Read more

[Перевод] «Записывающее устройство» возрастом 4,6 миллиарда лет, скрытое в астероидной пыли

Астероиды чрезвычайно важны для понимания ранней истории Солнечной системы. Эти куски камня и пыли были с нами с самого начала и не подверглись столь сильным изменениям в результате процессов формирования планет, как, например, Земля. Поэтому учёные были очень взволнованы, когда несколько лет назад «Хаябуса-2» доставила образцы с «Рюгу». Однако, когда они начали анализировать магнитные свойства этих образцов, разные исследовательские группы пришли к разным выводам.Предполагая, что эти противоречивые результ Read more

Когда AI становится частью мышления: что происходит с мозгом при потере инструмента

На прошлой неделе заблокировали уже 5-й аккаунт в любимом Сlaudе, в основном через который работал с AI. Claude Code — десктоп, терминал и VS Code. В основном менеджерские задачи и прототипирование. Сейчас большая часть рабочих задач у меня проходит через AI-интерфейсы. И вместе с аккаунтом улетела часть рабочего контекста: проекты, истории диалогов, наработки за несколько месяцев. И это коснулось не только меня — заблокировали десятки аккаунтов у коллег по компании.... Read more

Работая с аналитикой, мы часто сталкиваемся с одной и той же проблемой: данные есть, но исследовать их неудобно.Представим типичную ситуацию. Есть таблица с десятками колонок и миллионами строк. Нужно понять, почему изменился какой-то показатель — например, выручка или конверсия. Обычно это превращается в цепочку SQL-запросов: сначала агрегируем данные по стране, потом по городу, потом по конкретному сегменту пользователей и тд.
