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.

Если первая часть моего репортажа по конференции алготрейдеров в Москве была об инфраструктуре, то вторая часть будет про искусственный интеллект. ИИ в 2026 году это неполноценная замена трейдера — всего лишь промежуточная стадия. Кто‑то видит в нём помощника в предсказаниях движения рынка, кто‑то маркетинговый баннер для привлечения клиентов частных лиц, а кто‑то просто удобный инструмент автоматизации. Дальше покажу каждую из этих стратегий:ИИ как исследователь.ИИ как маркетинговый интерфейс.ИИ как торгов Read more ›

Я решил перестать гадать, почему к вечеру код превращается в тыкву, а мозг — в перегретый сервер. Вместо очередного поста про выгорание я полез в нейрофизиологию, собрал немного собственных данных, поигрался с ЭЭГ-гарнитурой, трекером сна и статистикой коммитов. В этой статье — что реально происходит с вниманием, рабочей памятью и дофаминовой системой разработчика в течение 8 часов за ноутбуком. Будет и биология, и цифры, и немного кода.

Полгода назад я понял, что мы проигрываем не конкурентам и не техдолгу. Мы проигрываем времени суток. В этой статье — мой практический разбор того, как я замерял хронотипы команды, собирал телеметрию активности, анализировал коммиты и встречи, строил простенькую модель продуктивности и в итоге полностью перестроил рабочий график удалённой команды. Будет немного биологии, немного математики, немного кода и много личных факапов. Читать далее Read more ›

A software engineer tried steering his robot vacuum with a videogame controller, reports Popular Science — but ended up with "a sneak peak into thousands of people's homes." While building his own remote-control app, Sammy Azdoufal reportedly used an AI coding assistant to help reverse-engineer how the robot communicated with DJI's remote cloud servers. But he soon discovered that the same credentials that allowed him to see and control his... Read more ›

An anonymous reader quotes a report from the Guardian: You wear them at work, you wear them at play, you wear them to relax. You may even get sweaty in them at the gym. But an investigation into headphones has found every single pair tested contained substances hazardous to human health, including chemicals that can cause cancer, neurodevelopmental problems and the feminization of males.

An anonymous reader shares a report: Meta product managers are rebranding. Some are now calling themselves "AI builders," a signal that AI coding tools are changing who gets to build software inside the company. One of them, Jeremie Guedj, announced the change in a LinkedIn post last week. "I still can't believe I'm writing this: as of today, my full-time job at Meta is AI Builder," he wrote. Guedj has...

OpenAI faces four fundamental strategic problems that no amount of fundraising or capex announcements can paper over, according to analyst Benedict Evans: it has no unique technology, its enormous user base is shallow and fragile, incumbents like Google and Meta are leveraging superior distribution to close the gap, and its product roadmap is dictated by whatever the research labs happen to discover rather than by deliberate product strategy. The company... Read more ›

Lockheed Martin's F-35 combat aircraft is a supersonic stealth "strike fighter." But this week the military news site TWZ reports that the fighter's "computer brain," including "its cloud-based components, could be cracked to accept third-party software updates, just like 'jailbreaking' a cellphone, according to the Dutch State Secretary for Defense." TWZ notes that the Dutch defense secretary made the remarks during an episode of BNR Nieuwsradio's "Boekestijn en de Wijk"... Read more ›

IBM shares plunged nearly 13% on Monday after Anthropic published a blog post arguing that its Claude Code tool could automate much of the complex analysis work involved in modernizing COBOL, the decades-old programming language that still underpins an estimated 95% of ATM transactions in the United States and runs on the kind of mainframe systems IBM has sold for generations. Anthropic said the shrinking pool of developers who understand... Read more ›

Google and Microsoft contributed $5 million to launch Alpha-Omega in 2022 — a Linux Foundation project to help secure the open source supply chain. But its co-founder Michael Winser warns that open source registries are in financial peril, reports The Register, since they're still relying on non-continuous funding from grants and donations. And it's not just because bandwidth is expensive, he said at this year's FOSDEM. "The problem is they... Read more ›
