DNA Mutations Discovered In the Children of Chernobyl Workers

Researchers performed genome sequencing scans on 130 people whose fathers were Chernobyl cleanup workers. Comparing the scans to control groups, they found evidence for the first time for "a transgenerational effect" from the father's prolonged exposure to low-dose ionizing radiation.

ScienceAlert reports:



Rather than picking out new DNA mutations in the next generation, they looked for what are known as clustered de novo mutations (cDNMs): two or more mutations in close proximity, found in the childr

Как React обновляет UI: trigger → render → commit

Psychology says the reason most people never truly change isn’t laziness – it’s that they’ve built an identity around their flaws that they don’t know who they’d be without them

The most common explanation for why people don’t change is that they’re lazy. They lack willpower. They know what they should do and simply can’t make themselves do it consistently enough for it to stick. I’ve believed this about myself at various points. And I’ve watched other people believe it about themselves too, often with ... Read more Read more

Вайбкодинг с Claude | Создание Telegram-ботов

Программирование прямо сейчас переживает сдвиг в подходе к работе.Если раньше основной процесс выглядел как «сел и пишешь код руками», продумываешь архитектуру, разбираешься с документацией и часами ищешь ошибки, то теперь всё чаще сценарий другой: ты формулируешь задачу, а реализацию на себя берёт ИИ.Это и называют вайбкодингом.Ты не работаешь на уровне синтаксиса — ты работаешь на уровне идеи.

Шахматная партия архитекторов: Arm разрушает 35-летний нейтралитет для собственных ИИ-процессоров

Представьте себе автоспортивное конструкторское бюро, которое тридцать пять лет чертило безупречные двигатели для всего пелотона Формулы-1, но никогда не выставляло на трассу собственный болид. Британская Arm Holdings десятилетиями была такой абсолютной «Швейцарией» Кремниевой долины. Она была невидимым фундаментом вычислений, продавая интеллектуальную собственность и лицензии на архитектуру всем: от Apple до Qualcomm и Nvidia.

[Перевод] Как подбирать аугментации: гипотезы, протокол и метрики

Новый пайплайн аугментаций редко собирается за один раз: базовые кропы и отражения, потом куски из старых проектов, статей и соревнований — и в какой-то момент уже много трансформаций, а ясной логики выбора нет.Статья про то, как к этому подойти системно: зачем конкретная трансформация, что она симулирует, насколько сильно её включать и какое допущение о данных она закладывает.

A letter to people who keep choosing partners who need fixing: the pattern isn’t about generosity. It’s about choosing someone whose damage is visible so yours can stay invisible, because the fixer never has to be examined.

The pattern of choosing partners who need fixing isn't generosity — it's a defense mechanism that keeps the fixer's own wounds permanently out of view, because someone else's crisis always takes center stage. Read more
