Русский культурный код как оценка генеративных моделей

Привет! Когда вышла Nano Banana, я из любопытства попросил её нарисовать сюр на фоне советских панелек — и она нарисовала до безумия залипательную картинку. Она не просто нарисовала панельки, не просто идеально отработала промпт, она точно передала вайб и всю атмосферу.Так родилась идея этого мини-бенчмарка. Не академического, не на тысячи промптов и сотни метрик — а простого, народного и визуального. Чтобы посмотреть картинки разных моделей рядом и все было сразу... Read more

Определение фактического профиля нагрузки в PostgreSQL и динамические состояния БД

Привет, ХАБР! Я Владимир Хаймин, эксперт по системам управления базами данных PostgreSQL в ВТБ. Когда вы знакомитесь с документацией по какой-то системе в части базы данных, то обычно характер нагрузки определяется исходно в архитектуре проекта. Но если система определена архитектором как OLTP, но в действительности может вести себя в некоторые периоды времени как OLAP. Нормально ли такое поведение, и каким образом мы можем определить, что она ведет себя как-то иначе?... Read more

Как сетевые коммутаторы помогают усилить защиту от угроз

На связи Игорь Гиркин, архитектор систем информационной безопасности компании «Гарда». Раньше от сетевого устройства требовалось лишь одно: быстро и без потерь передавать пакеты. Сегодня эти времена остались в прошлом. Современный коммутатор — это важное звено периметра безопасности, находящееся на первой линии обороны. Используя его только для коммутации трафика, вы упускаете мощный инструмент для отражения угроз. В этой статье я рассмотрю, какие механизмы защиты встроены в современные L2/L3-коммутаторы и.
