For years, satellite data suggested that autumn snow cover in the Northern Hemisphere was actually increasing — a surprising twist in a warming world. But a new analysis reveals that this apparent growth was an illusion caused by improving satellite technology that became better at detecting thin snow over time. In reality, snow cover has been shrinking by about half a million square kilometers per decade.

The first thing you notice about the Slate Truck is its size. It's small, surprisingly so. In a country where trucks often come with their own zip code, Slate's pickup is refreshingly puny, measuring 174.6 inches long, 70.6 inches wide, and 69.3 inches tall, with a curb weight of approximately 3,602 pounds (1,634kg). As a […] Read more ›

Занимаясь созданием систем искусственного интеллекта, не перестаешь удивляться, из каких порой «костылей» состоят настоящие чудеса прогресса. Например, знаете ли вы, что даже самые современные нейросети фундаментально не умеют перемножать два числа? Они не считают в привычном нам смысле, а скорее запоминают и аппроксимируют ответы.Как так вышло, что ИИ пишет код и сочиняет стихи, но буксует на таблице умножения? Давайте разбираться Read more ›

Привет, Хабр! Меня зовут Aloncie. Пока в моем окружении часто спорят о том, какой язык программирования учить первым, я решил не выбирать легких путей и закопаться в «кишки» системного программирования.Мой проект Rwal — это CLI-утилита (с перспективой перехода на GUI) для управления обоями, которая должна одинаково хорошо чувствовать себя в разных окружениях: от KDE и GNOME до Windows. В этой статье я подробно разберу архитектуру проекта, работу с D-Bus, интеграцию... Read more ›

Всем привет, на проводе снова я и опять буду донимать всех своей синхронизацией. В этом цикле статей предлагаю хорошенечко разобраться в фазовой синхронизации на основе протокола PTPv2 G.8275.1 и его верном спутнике технологии частотной синхронизации Synchronous Ethernet. Изучать будем от и до: физический уровень, для интереса заглянем в осциллограммки, посмотрим на сигнальный обмен, расковыряем дампы, посчитаем параметры, проведем пару сеансов разоблачения, узнаем почему QoS’ы стали нафиг не нужны, как лин Read more ›

I work with a lot of very smart people, and sometimes one of them asks me a question that stops me in my tracks. That’s what happened after I published the newest installment of my advice column, Your Mileage May Vary, which was about whether it’s morally icky to send your kid to private school […] Read more ›

Jeff Bezos badly wanted a voice computer. He had been saying so publicly since the very early days of Amazon, telling anyone who would listen about why voice might make it easier and more natural to interact with technology. (And to buy stuff from Jeff Bezos.) But when a team at Amazon set out to […] Read more ›

Все современные языковые модели иногда ведут себя так, будто у них есть эмоции: они «рады помочь», «извиняются» за ошибки и словно «нервничают», когда задача не даётся. Новое исследование Anthropic показывает, что это не просто стиль ответа — внутри моделей действительно возникают функциональные представления эмоций, которые влияют на поведение: например, «отчаяние» повышает шанс выбрать неэтичный или «костыльный» путь решения задачи. То, как обучаются модели, подталкивает их играть роль персонажа с человеч Read more ›

Я работаю в компании, которая разрабатывает и продаёт систему электронной очереди. Пришёл недавно, успел написать веб-клиент для их очереди — общение по SOAP, веб сайт, талоны с QR кодом, ничего особенного. Потом руководство поставило задачу: интегрировать физическое табло с вызовом клиентов через веб. Старое десктопное приложение как-то умеет зажигать на нём цифры — надо сделать то же самое, но из веба.Окей, задача понятная. Первым делом пошёл к тем, кто делал... Read more ›

Недавно OpenAI выпустил опенсорсный плагин, который даёт Claude Code структурированную интеграцию с Codex. Кроме того, всё работает прямо из VS Code через Claude Code Extension. По моему опыту даже в задачах, не связанных с кодом, две "AI-головы" дают результаты лучше, чем одна. У одиночного AI нет стимула оспаривать свои выводы, да и ограничен он своими условиями обучения. Но раньше взаимодействием двух AI было не очень комфортно управлять. С новым плагином... Read more ›

A team of physicists set out to test some of the most exciting claims in quantum computing—and found a very different story. Instead of confirming breakthroughs, their careful replication studies revealed that signals once hailed as major advances could actually be explained in simpler ways. Despite the importance of these findings, their work initially struggled to get published, highlighting a deeper issue in science. Read more ›

Scientists have finally found a hidden “critical point” in supercooled water that explains why it behaves so strangely. At this point, two different liquid forms of water merge, triggering powerful fluctuations that affect water even at normal temperatures. The breakthrough was made possible by ultra-fast X-ray lasers that captured water before it froze. This discovery could reshape our understanding of water’s role in nature—and possibly even life itself. Read more ›

Far beneath the ocean near Japan, scientists have discovered that the magma system linked to the most powerful eruption of the Holocene is slowly rebuilding. By using seismic imaging, researchers mapped a large magma reservoir under the Kikai caldera and confirmed it is the same system that fueled the massive eruption 7,300 years ago. However, the magma now present is newly injected, not leftover, as shown by changes in the... Read more ›

Making babies in space may be more complicated than expected, as new research shows sperm struggle to navigate in microgravity. Scientists found that while sperm can still swim normally, they lose their sense of direction without gravity, making it harder to reach and fertilize an egg. In lab experiments simulating space conditions, far fewer sperm successfully made it through a maze designed to mimic the reproductive tract, and fertilization rates... Read more ›

Scientists may have been unknowingly inflating microplastics pollution estimates, and the surprising source could be their own lab gloves. A University of Michigan study found that common nitrile and latex gloves release tiny particles called stearates, which closely resemble microplastics and can contaminate samples during testing. In some cases, this led to wildly exaggerated results, forcing researchers to track down the unexpected culprit. Read more ›

Just a few minutes of getting out of breath each day could dramatically cut your risk of major diseases—including heart disease, dementia, and diabetes. A large study of nearly 100,000 people found that it’s not just how much you move, but how intensely you move that matters. Short bursts of vigorous activity—like rushing for a bus or climbing stairs quickly—were linked to striking reductions in disease risk, especially for inflammatory... Read more ›

A powerful cholesterol-lowering drug may be changing the rules of heart disease prevention. Researchers found that evolocumab, typically used for people who already have cardiovascular disease, can significantly cut the risk of first-time heart attacks and strokes in high-risk patients with diabetes—even before any artery-clogging plaque is detected.

A large U.S. study reveals that more than a quarter of people with hard-to-treat high blood pressure may have an overlooked hormone problem. Elevated cortisol—often linked to stress—was found in 27% of these patients, far higher than expected. This hidden condition could explain why standard medications fail. The discovery could lead to new testing and treatments that finally help bring blood pressure under control. Read more ›

A blazing supermassive black hole can influence far more than its own galaxy. Scientists found that quasars emit radiation strong enough to shut down star formation in nearby galaxies millions of light-years away. This could explain why some galaxies near early quasars appear faint or missing. The finding suggests galaxies grow and evolve together, not in isolation. Read more ›

Astronomers have spotted a bizarre cosmic explosion that refuses to play by the rules—and it’s leaving scientists scrambling for answers. GRB 250702B, detected by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope and a global network of observatories, lasted an astonishing seven hours—far longer than typical gamma-ray bursts, which usually fade in under a minute.
