In 2022, Ethan Mollick, an AI researcher and University of Pennsylvania professor, found himself needing to amuse his daughter on a boring plane ride. For some help, he turned to what he knows best and began prompting Midjourney’s latest model to generate an image of an otter—his daughter’s favorite animal.

Bloodborne fans may not be happy to hear that a remake was reportedly rejected, but that doesn't mean it's completely off the table.

Я являюсь давним поклонником носимых устройств и первый мой такой девайс появлился более 10 лет назад и был по сути простым шагомером. С тех пор я навсегда перевел телефон в беззвучный режим и воспринимаю только уведомления на браслете, не использую будильник со звуком и в целом использую носимые гаджеты как источник полезной информации.С тех пор развитие гаджетов шагнуло очень далеко и я прогрессирую в их использовании.

У меня никогда не было состояния «идей нет». Идей — хоть отбавляй. Проблема всегда была в другом: когда я сажусь и начинаю специально их придумывать, мозг часто выдаёт ровно то, что от него ожидают: безопасное, предсказуемое, «правильное». А вот когда я задаю себе вопрос, формулирую задачу и отпускаю, — идеи становятся заметно сильнее: неожиданнее, сложнее, ближе к тому, что цепляет игрока.Со временем я перестал воспринимать это как мистику и начал...

![[Перевод] Как цифровые документы меняют современные архивы](https://times42.com/media/8/7/1/12049871_640x200.jpg "[Перевод] Как цифровые документы меняют современные архивы")
С 1960-х годов в архивы по всему миру начали поступать на хранение цифровые документы. Изначально небольшая, их доля среди собраний возрастала каждое десятилетие. Цифровые фонды при этом бросают вызов одной из главных функций архива: сохранять поступившее в неизменном виде. Неизменяемость для цифрового документа означает смерть, ведь уже через несколько десятков лет может не найтись ни одной машины, которая способна его открыть.О том, как архивисты и программисты десятилетиями искали выход из...

Reddit’s explosive revenue growth of the past two years turbocharged the company’s stock after its 2024 initial public offering, lifting it nearly 700% to its highs of around $270 last fall. That rally was markedly different from the tepid performance that similarly sized social media companies such as Snap and Pinterest endured after their public debuts in 2017 and 2019, respectively. In hindsight, that’s not surprising. Reddit’s IPO turned out... Read more ›

Starlink has cut hardware and... Read more ›
