Прерываемые ноды в Managed Kubernetes появились ещё в феврале 2025 года, и Selectel анонсировал их отдельной статьёй в своём блоге — про экономию до 70% и про то, что «нода оперативно вернётся в кластер, а восстановление займёт не более минуты». Про поды, которые в этот момент на ноде работают, там не сказано ничего: ни про SIGTERM, ни про drain, ни про PDB, ни про потерю данных. Как раз эту дырку... Read more ›

Всем привет! Меня зовут Степан Павленко, я аспирант и стажер‑исследователь в Лаборатории теоретических основ моделей искусственного интеллекта на ФКН ВШЭ.

Наша команда выбрала проект на стыке генеративного моделирования и химии: научиться предсказывать SMILES‑строку молекулы прямо по 3D‑координатам атомов. За две недели изначально грандиозная идея «LLM генерирует SMILES с нуля» Read more ›

Мы пойдём дальше: обвесим его новодельной периферией, «проапгрейдим» и выглянем в цифровой окружающий мир. Сегодняшний эксперимент будет посвящён посещению BBS, увидим текстовый интернет, начало телнет-мультика и загрузку Lin Read more ›
