Linus Torvalds: Someone 'More Competent Who Isn't Afraid of Numbers Past the Teens' Will Take Over Linux One Day

Linus Torvalds has pondered his professional mortality in a self-deprecating post to mark the release of the first release candidate for version 7.0 of the Linux kernel. From a report: "You all know the drill by now: two weeks have passed, and the kernel merge window is closed," he wrote in the post announcing Linux 7.0 rc1. "We have a new major number purely because I'm easily confused and not good with big numbers." Torvalds pointed out that the numbers he applies to new kernel releases are essentially me

Mars may look like a quiet, dusty world, but it’s actually buzzing with hidden electrical activity. Powerful dust storms and swirling dust devils generate static electricity strong enough to spark faint glowing discharges across the planet, triggering chemical reactions that reshape its surface and atmosphere. Scientists have now shown that these tiny lightning-like events can create a surprising mix of chemicals—including chlorine compounds and carbonates—and even leave behind distinct isotopic...

[Перевод] Claude Code для тех, кто не пишет код: полный гайд для старта

Большинство воспринимает Claude Code как инструмент исключительно для разработчиков.

[Перевод] Использование фреймворка Foundation Models для локального ИИ в SwiftUI

Приветствую, Хабр!На конференции WWDC 2025 компания Apple представила фреймворк Foundation Models — набор инструментов, позволяющий разработчикам интегрировать локальные ИИ-модели Apple в свои приложения. По заявлению Apple, эти модели работают полностью на устройстве, не требуют подключения к облаку, не влекут затрат на инференс и ставят во главу угла конфиденциальность пользователей. В этой статье показано, как реализовать фреймворк Foundation Models в приложении на SwiftUI для обработки пользовательских. Read more

I’m 66 and my wife asked me last week if I was happy and I said yes automatically – but the real answer is I don’t think I’ve been happy since my mid-forties and I’ve just gotten so good at performing contentment that I fooled myself too

After decades of reflexively saying "yes" when asked if he's happy, a 66-year-old electrician realizes he's been performing contentment so convincingly for the past twenty years that he forgot he was acting—and now he's trying to remember what real happiness actually feels like. Read more

Scientists have created an artificial saliva using a sugarcane protein that can protect teeth and fight bacteria. The key ingredient, CANECPI-5, binds directly to enamel, forming a shield against acids that cause decay. Early tests show it works even better when paired with fluoride and xylitol, significantly reducing damage to teeth. The innovation could be especially life-changing for cancer patients who lose saliva production after treatment. Read more

Modern food systems may look stable on the surface, but they are increasingly dependent on digital systems that can quietly become a major point of failure. Today, food must be “recognized” by databases and automated platforms to be transported, sold, or even released, meaning that if systems go down, food can effectively become unusable—even when it’s physically available.

Even some Sora employees were surprised by the cancellation. It was just 14 weeks ago Disney announced a $1 billion investment in OpenAI's AI-powered video generation... Read more

Jupiter's Lightning May Have the Force of Nuclear Weapons

How powerful is Jupiter's lightning? Thick clouds cover the view, notes Science magazine. But using an instrument on NASA's Juno spacecraft (orbiting Jupiter for the past decade), researchers determined Jupiter's lightning bolts are 100 to 10,000 times more energetic than earth's: A single bolt of lightning on Earth releases about 1 billion joules of energy. That means the most extreme bolts of jovian lightning carry 10 trillion joules of energy,... Read more
