US Military Accidentally Shoots Down Border Protection Drone With Laser

It turned out the drone belonged to Customs and Border Protection, lawmakers said. The case of mistaken identity prompted the Federal Aviation Administration to close additional airspace around Fort Hancock, about 50 miles (80 kilometers) southeast of El Paso. The military is required to formally notify the FAA when it takes.

Можно ли собрать рабочий сайт через ИИ, зная только базовый HTML

Когда говорят про создание сайтов с помощью ИИ, обычно звучат две крайности: либо магия уровня «нажал кнопку — получил готовый продукт», либо скепсис в духе «потом всё равно придется переписывать руками». А что, если проверить?Привет! Меня зовут Кристина. Я работаю специалистом по автоматизации в Учебном центре IT-компании «Тензор». Недавно заказчик попросил меня сделать рабочий сайт максимально быстро. Четкого ТЗ и готового дизайна не было — только общее видение. Знакомая ситуация?... Read more

Behavioral scientists say the reason people cry when they see someone else reunited with a loved one — at airports, in films, in real life — isn’t sentimentality. The brain’s mirror neuron system fires a complete emotional simulation of the experience, and the tears aren’t about the strangers, they’re about every reunion your own body has stored and every one it’s still waiting for.

You’re just looking in that direction when two people find each other in the middle of the walkway. She drops her bag. He speeds up. They hold on to each other the way ... Read more Read more
