Waymo Reveals Remote Workers In Philippines Sometimes Advise Its Driverless Cars

Waymo surprised U.S. lawmakers Wednesday during a hearing on autonomous vehicles and their safety and oversight. Newsweek reports:

nanoCAD GeoniCS – это мощный современный инструмент для землеустройства и изысканий. Однако в высокоспециализированных отраслях, таких как маркшейдерское дело на угледобыче, стандартных инструментов часто бывает недостаточно. Яркий пример этого опыт «Разреза Кирбинский», который не только перешел с Civil 3D на nanoCAD GeoniCS, но и создал цифровую среду, идеально заточенную под сложные процессы: от планирования горных работ до контроля за буровзрывными операциями. Как им это удалось читайте в этой статье. Ч Read more

Заставляем Flipper Zero и M5StickC Plus2 работать вместе

У многих из нас есть слабость к маленьким многофункциональным гаджетам. К тем самым коробочкам с мигающими светодиодами, которые покупаются под лозунгом «ну это же мне очень надо!», а потом укоризненно смотрят на тебя с полки.

ИТ-аудит для малого и среднего бизнеса — источник трат или возможностей?

В малом и среднем бизнесе ИТ почти никогда не падает «одним щелчком». Сначала CRM просто «задумывается». Потом счета за облако растут из месяца в месяц, а техподдержка отвечает все дольше. Потом увольняется единственный приходящий сисадмин — и внезапно выясняется, что паролей от серверов нет, резервные копии не делались год, а новый подрядчик возьмет инфраструктуру без документации с более высоким чеком.Одна из последних историй из практики.
