The CIA has shut down The World Factbook, one of its oldest and most recognizable public-facing intelligence publications, ending a run that began as a classified reference document in 1962 and evolved into a freely accessible digital resource that drew millions of views each year.
The agency offered no explanation for the decision. Originally titled The National Basic Intelligence Factbook, the publication first went unclassified in 1971, was renamed a decade later, and moved online at CIA.gov in 1997. I

Недавно пришло осознание, что до текущего момента большую часть своей жизни я посвятил учебе. Школа, бакалавриат, магистратура, адаптация в 2-х компаниях, курсы, книги, лекции на ютубчике. Говоря в цифрах, это заняло почти 20 лет, а если еще добавить период от рождения до школы, ведь там мы тоже учимся — говорить, ходить, взаимодействовать с окружающим миром, то вообще получается, все 26 лет своей жизни я учился.И-и-и, знаешь, я ничего не помню...

Токенмаксинг (tokenmaxxing) — это практика, при которой сотрудники компаний соревнуются за максимальное потребление токенов, превращая сам факт использования ИИ-инструментов в показатель производительности (VKTR).Рассмотрим откуда пошел термин, почему люди соревнуются и причем тут Performance Review в FAANG. А также зачем один инженер OpenAI обработал 210 миллиардов токенов за неделю, а пользователь Claude Code у Anthropic потратил более $150 000 за месяц. Читать дальше Read more ›

Информационная экономика ИИ оказалась в ловушке собственного производства.ИИ-бум с самого начала был полон внутренних противоречий. Вопросы финансовой устойчивости, экологические последствия, стремительность внедрения без оглядки на последствия — каждый аспект заслуживает отдельного разговора. Но есть один, который, пожалуй, важнее остальных и при этом обсуждается реже: ИИ методично подтачивает ту самую информационную экосистему, без которой он не может существовать.И делает это сразу с двух сторон.

Когда одна и та же модель пишет код и проверяет его, она пропускает свои ошибки. Она «помнит», почему приняла именно это решение, и не ставит его под сомнение. Знакомо? Как вычитывать собственный текст: глаз замыливается, мозг подставляет правильный смысл туда, где его нет.В нормальной команде эта проблема решена давно: автор кода ≠ ревьюер. Два человека с разным контекстом и разными слепыми пятнами. С LLM можно сделать то же самое, взяв... Read more ›

Хабр, привет! Меня зовут Сергей Куриленко, я ML-разработчик, соавтор курса «Нейросети для работы» и ревьюер на курсе «Нейросети для бизнеса» в Яндекс Практикуме.За последний год я не раз сталкивался с ситуацией: человек осваивает вайбкодинг и создаёт проекты с невероятной скоростью — а потом обнаруживает, что всё это время строил не карьеру, а карточный домик.

Когда бизнес-логика становится сложной, микросервисы из удобного инструмента превращаются в источник боли.

From the report: The satellite lost communication at about 560 kilometers above Earth, Starlink said. While the statement from Starlink, which is a subsidiary... Read more ›

ZipNada writes: Two software researchers recently demonstrated how modern AI tools can reproduce entire open-source projects, creating proprietary versions that appear both functional and legally distinct. The partly-satirical demonstration shows how quickly artificial intelligence can blur long-standing boundaries between coding innovation, copyright law, and the open-source principles that underpin much of the modern internet.
