Meta Auditor EY Raised Red Flag on Data-Center Accounting

Meta Platforms' latest annual report contained an unusual, cautionary note for investors. From a report: The tech giant's auditor, Ernst & Young, raised a red flag over the financial engineering Meta used to keep a $27 billion data-center project off its balance sheet. While EY ultimately blessed Meta's accounting treatment, the firm flagged it as a "critical audit matter." This means it was one of the hardest, riskiest judgments the auditor had to make.

[Перевод] Ожидали 15%, получили 1%: почему ИИ не смог повторить успех интернет-революции

Искусственный интеллект — это новая экономическая революция! Он отвяжет экономический рост от человеческого труда, обеспечит безграничное развитие и приведет нас в новую эру процветания. Именно этот нарратив использовался для оправдания поистине колоссальных инвестиций в технологии. В прошлом году Бигтех потратил на ИИ $400 миллиардов. Этого хватило бы, чтобы искоренить мировой голод на целое десятилетие! Но в этом году они готовы потратить на ИИ уже $700 миллиардов.Действительно, некоторые экономисты заявл Read more

Научил ИИ-агента помнить важное и забывать лишнее в SQLite

Я делаю локально работающего ИИ-агента и столкнулся с тем, что стандартный подход «закинуть текст в векторную базу, достать по косинусу» для долгоживущего агента не работает: контекст замусоривается, факты конфликтуют, ничего не забывается. Вместо этого реализовал графовую когнитивную память поверх одного файла SQLite: эпизодические и семантические узлы, типизированные рёбра, именованные сущности, гибридный поиск (FTS5 + vector + graph) с Reciprocal Rank Fusion, кривую забывания Эббингауза и фоновую LLM-кон Read more

Профилирование и PGO в LLVM

Нередко при оптимизации приложений, написанных на языках со статической компиляцией (C, C++, Rust), наступает момент, когда стандартные методы оптимизации, такие как улучшение алгоритмов, подбор структур данных, флаги компиляции вроде -O3, перестают давать дополнительный прирост производительности. В этот момент многие вспоминают про фундаментальное ограничение статических компиляторов. В отличие от JIT, они не знают, какой код будет горячим, а какой холодным.
