YOLOv8 против OpenCV на чертежах метро: почему простая геометрия победила нейросеть

Как я случайно сделал утечку данных и решил задачу в пользу OpenCV.Задача — детекция основной надписи (штампа) на чертежах для оцифровки в BIM. Данных — 50 сканов. YOLOv8 на такой крохе переобучился, даже с синтетикой и аугментацией. Поймал утечку: модель запоминала фон, а не геометрию. Честный бенчмарк показал неожиданное: OpenCV с контурами и CLAHE выбил IoU 0.64 против 0.58 у YOLO. DL увереннее в детекции, но хуже попадает в границы.... Read more

Может ли ИИ думать? Разбираем вопрос без философии

Этот вопрос обычно заканчивается одинаково: кто-то произносит слово «сознание», дальше начинается философский спор, и через двадцать минут все расходятся ни с чем. Мы пойдём другим путём.Никакого Декарта, никакого Тьюринга, никаких рассуждений о душе. Только конкретный вопрос: что именно умеет и не умеет делать языковая модель — и насколько это похоже на то, что мы в быту называем мышлением. Читать далее Read more

Шесть основ бизнес-анализа: как выявить потребность и отделить истинную цель бизнеса от промежуточных решений

Чернобыль, мутанты и йод: что мифы о радиации на самом деле говорят о нас самих

Ровно четверть века назад, в далеком 2001-м, в эксплуатацию ввели Волгодонскую АЭС — всего в 260 километрах от моего родного города Ростова-на-Дону. Я тогда был молодым шутливым подростком 12 лет, смутно слышал что-то про Чернобыль, но в целом о радиации как явлении никогда не задумывался. И тут на даче, летом того же года, мне попалась газета, где публиковалась «написанная за неделю» в честь запуска АЭС повесть донского писателя Василия Вареника... Read more

The person who keeps their refrigerator nearly empty isn’t minimalist, they grew up understanding that a full fridge could be inspected, weaponized, or held against them later

An empty fridge is often read as minimalism, but for adults raised in households where food was rationed, counted, or used as leverage, the bare shelves are a nervous-system strategy — reducing the evidence in a room that used to be inspected. Read more

Some people aren’t quiet in meetings because they have nothing to say—they’re running an internal cost analysis on whether their contribution will be remembered as insight or remembered as the moment they overstepped

Some people are not quiet in meetings because they have nothing to say. They are running an internal cost analysis on whether their contribution will be remembered as insight, or remembered as the moment they overstepped. That calculation happens fast, usually below the level of conscious thought, and it is one of the most underrated ... Read more Read more

When Microsoft’s Japan branch gave all 2,300 staff five Fridays off in a row on full pay in the summer of 2019 — while capping meetings at 30 minutes — it recorded a 40 per cent jump in productivity per employee, alongside sharp falls in electricity used and paper printed.

The Microsoft Japan story usually gets told as a magic trick. Give everyone Friday off, keep their full pay, and somehow more work gets done, not less. The lesson many people pull from it is the convenient one: just work less and you’ll produce more. I’ve wanted that to be true for years, which is ... Read more Read more

The people who seem unbothered by criticism aren’t the ones who stopped caring what others think—they’re the ones who moved the evaluation internally

The people who seem unbothered by criticism are easy to misread. From the outside they look like they have stopped caring what anyone thinks. Most of them have done something more specific, and far more useful. They have moved the evaluation internally. They still care about being right, about doing good work, about whether the ...

The first U.S. insider trading case tied to a prediction market isn’t really about a Google engineer’s $1.2M — it’s about what blockchain pseudonymity actually does when prosecutors come knocking

The U.S. Justice Department has charged a 12-year Google software engineer with insider trading for allegedly converting confidential internal search data into $1.2 million in profits on the prediction market platform Polymarket, according to TechCrunch . It is the first time cooperation from a prediction platform has produced insider trading charges in the United States. Read more

Many people in their sixties realise on a quiet Sunday that they have been calling themselves a private person for thirty years when the more honest word is unpracticed at being asked anything real

The label 'private person' often hides something less flattering and more workable — a thirty-year habit of deflection that calcified into an identity. What aging research, defense mechanism theory and recent studies on isolation actually say about the gap between privacy and being unpracticed at real conversation. Read more
