Как машины могут учиться так же эффективно, как люди и животные? Как машины могут научиться рассуждать и планировать? Как машины могут изучать представления восприятий и планов действий на нескольких уровнях абстракции, что позволит им рассуждать, предсказывать и планировать на различных временных горизонтах? В этой позиционной статье предлагается архитектура и парадигмы обучения для построения автономных интеллектуальных агентов. Она объединяет такие концепции, как конфигурируемая предсказательная модель м Read more ›

В начале 2021 года я взялся написать игру для компьютера, которому тогда было уже 40 лет — речь о его благородии Commodore 64. Релиз игры Cab Hustle наконец состоялся осенью 2022 года, после того, как я в течение нескольких месяцев эпизодически добивался по ней некоторого прогресса. В начале 2023 года я также выпустил версию этой игры для ПК. Читать далее Read more ›

Alaska's House of Representatives unanimously passed HB47, a bill that imposes sweeping limits on when and how minors use social media apps, along with bans on generating or distributing harmful deepfakes of children. The bill's original form was focused on prohibiting the possession and distribution of sexually explicit images of children using AI, but Alaska lawmakers decided to add amendments that would impose social media restrictions.

Ollama выложили новую модель qwen3.5:122b которая уже умеет видеть. Потестировав на логику, написание скриптов она оказалась весьма неплохой, на уровне наверное gpt-oss:120b. Но в отличии от gpt-oss она еще может обрабатывать картинки. И я ради интереса загрузил ей карикатуру на Дональда Трама, кто не знает, это руководитель такой страны как америка. Кто не знает что такое америка, могу рассказать в комментариях. 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 ›

The first fiber-optic cable ever laid across an ocean -- TAT-8, a nearly 6,000-kilometer line between the United States, United Kingdom, and France that carried its first traffic on December 14, 1988 -- is now being pulled off the Atlantic seabed after more than two decades of sitting dormant, bound for recycling in South Africa.

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 ›

Fossil fuels produce NO2, which is linked to asthma attacks, bronchitis, and higher risks of heart disease and stroke, according the EV news site Electrek. But the nonprofit news site Grist.org notes a new analysis showing that those emissions decreased by 1.1% for every increase of 200 electric vehicles — across nearly 1,700 ZIP codes. "A pretty small addition of cars at the ZIP code level led to a decline... Read more ›

Imagine a 280-unit apartment complex offering no on-site leasing office with a human agent for questions.

Friday Amazon published a blog post "to address the inaccuracies" in a Financial Times report that the company's own AI tool Kiro caused two outages in an AWS service in December. Amazon writes that the "brief" and "extremely limited" service interruption "was the result of user error — specifically misconfigured access controls — not AI as the story claims."
