SOLID в реальном мире: SRP без архитектурных космолетов

Всем доброго дня! На связи Валевич Артем, тимлид в AGIMA. Рано или поздно каждый разработчик сталкивается с необходимостью изучить принципы SOLID. Интернет полон теоретических статей с абстрактными примерами — треугольниками, фигурами и системами заказов. В таких примерах всё выглядит красиво. Но когда дело доходит до продакшен-кода, возникает логичный вопрос: как применять эти принципы на практике и не превратить проект в архитектурный космолет? Разбираемся.Дисклеймер: статья предназначена для новичков, ко Read more

Как заставить LLM считать точно: генерация кода вместо генерации ответов

Недавно в популярном Facebook-посте: «GPT работает всё хуже. Просишь пересчитать формулу на 600 грамм, он бодро выдаёт две по 300. Пора, видимо, валить».Проблема знакомая каждому, кто пытался использовать LLM для расчётов. Но это не деградация конкретной модели. Это фундаментальное ограничение архитектуры. И у него есть решение.

Базовый минимум или роскошный максимум: как устроен IaaS в MWS Cloud Platform

За время работы в облаке я убедился в одной простой вещи: сколько бы сервисов ни предлагало облако — Kubernetes, Serverless, базы данных, Big Data или AI-сервисы, — всё это работает только потому, что под ними есть прочный фундамент: виртуальные машины, диски и сети. Этот фундамент и называется IaaS. Он важен и для клиентов, и для самого облачного провайдера: все сервисы строятся поверх него, а уровень этой базы определяет надёжность и... Read more
