The match was organized by Rek, a San Francisco-based company, and drew hundreds of spectators who had paid about $60-$80 for a ticket to watch modified G1 robots go at each other. Made by Unitree, the dominant Chinese robot maker, they weighed in at around 80 pounds and stood 4.5 feet tall, with human-like hands and dozens of joint motors for flexibility. The.

I’m 37 and I finally understand why I keep saying yes to things I want to say no to — psychology calls it “fawning” and once you see it you can’t unsee it

I said yes to a project last Tuesday that I didn’t want to do. It wasn’t a big project. It wasn’t even a particularly important one. A colleague asked if I could review something for him over the weekend and before the question had fully left his mouth I heard myself say “yeah, of course, ... Read more Read more

Формы как контракт в Next.js: Zod, fieldErrors и одинаковые правила на client и server

С формами в Next.js проблема обычно начинается не на уровне кнопки submit. Кнопка как раз почти всегда работает. Настоящая путаница начинается позже, когда форма уже живёт в проекте какое-то время. В одном месте ошибка показывается под полем, в другом только общей строкой сверху. Где-то кнопка блокируется на pending, а где-то можно отправить запрос несколько раз подряд. Клиент считает данные валидными, а сервер отвечает, что правило нарушено. Поле уже зелёное, а... Read more

Фронтенд — это REST-сервер

Привет. Я фронтенд-разработчик. По мнению тех, кто, по мнению некоторых, перекладывает джейсончики туда-сюда, я крашу кнопочки. Но сам я себя идентифицирую иначе: я тоже перекладываю джейсончики, и у меня всё точно так же, как у них. Даже архитектура. У меня тоже есть контроллеры, сервисы и хранилища, и я также обрабатываю запросы пользователей. Даже больше, я делаю HATEOAS, «тру» RESTful, если хотите.

Будь то езда на велосипеде или вязание свитера, есть некоторые действия, которые мы выполняем, не задумываясь.Обычно их связывают с «мышечной памятью» — представлением о том, что наше тело может запоминать, как выполнять сложные задачи, и со временем научиться делать это автоматически.Но действительно ли у мышц есть память?

Исправление обработки блока reasoning content в CoT-моделях для LangChain

В процессе работы с фреймворком LangChain была обнаружена существенная проблема в чат-классах (ChatOpenAI, ChatDeepSeek и др.) при интеграции с различными провайдерами и агрегаторами LLM. Ни один из них не сохраняет содержимое блока рассуждений (reasoning content) в финальном ответе, что увеличивает время ожидания ответа пользователем и негативно сказывается на UX ИИ-приложений, использующих CoT-модели.В данной статье я расскажу как можно решить эту проблему на примере модели stepfun/step-3.5-flash и провай Read more
