Jack Dorsey's Block is cutting more than 4,000 jobs, or nearly half its workforce, as part of a deliberate shift toward becoming a smaller, "intelligence-native" company built around AI. The Verge reports: "We're not making this decision because we're in trouble," Dorsey says. "Our business is strong. Gross profit continues to grow, we continue to serve more and more customers, and profitability is improving. But something has changed. We're already seeing that the intelligence tools we're creating and usin

British cryptographer Adam Back is the secret creator of Bitcoin, claims new report — Back refutes investigation, says parallels to Satoshi are just a coincidence

The hunt for Satoshi Nakamoto has circled back to a likely candidate, Adam Back, thanks to a New York Times article that draws striking parallels between the two. Back denies being Satoshi, saying it's all just a coincidence and confirmation bias on behalf of the reporter. The 40-page-long investigation goes over decades of evidence to try to prove otherwise.

Сделаем сами ретроавто в масштабе 1:5?

После моего первого двигателя, в голове стали роиться мысли о создании масштабной модели транспортного средства с настоящим функциональным мотором внутреннего сгорания. Сначала я не мог определиться, что это будет, грузовик, автобус или легковушка. А может быть даже танк? Но реальность поставила всё на свои места. Нельзя делать модель бесконечно большой (а то жена выгонит из дому), а значит, что размер её будет определяться минимальным размером двигателя, который я смогу сделать.... Read more

GuardDo Pixel против GrapheneOS: российское решение против «правильного» ответа

Если прошлая статья о российских разработках для уничтожения данных была слишком «корпоративная» (про «кнопку стирания» для серверов, ноутбуков и ПК), то в этом случае речь пойдёт о действительно «личном» — российской прошивке для стирания данных и необратимого уничтожения носителей информации GuardDo на базе смартфонов Google Pixel.
