Saturday afternoon Sam Altman announced he'd start answering questions on X.com about OpenAI's work with America's Department of War — and all the developments over the past few days. (After that department's negotions had failed with Anthropic, they announced they'd stop using Anthropic's technology and threatened to designate it a "Supply-Chain Risk to National Security". Then they'd reached a deal for OpenAI's technology — though Altman says it includes OpenAI's own similar prohibitions against using the

Relocation loneliness isn't about missing people or places — it's the specific ache of being surrounded by warmth from people who only know the version of you that arrived. Being fully known may matter more than being fully comfortable. Read more ›

Многие начинающие авторы часто переживают, что не смогут найти свой собственный стиль, останутся копией копий и затеряются в потоке одинаковых произведений.

Для этого я обращаюсь к работам мастеров слова, особенно по вопросам формирования индивидуального авторского стиля (идиостиля). Чаще всего к лекциям известного фантаста Дэна Симмонса из цикла «Пиши хорошо» Read more ›

Yesterday, the retail box for the upcoming OnePlus Nord 6 leaked, and today the same source is back with something even better: a shot of the phone in two colors (Silver and Mint) in someone's hand somewhere in the wild, out and about. As you can see, the design is definitely reminiscent of other recent OnePlus and Oppo phones. The source of this image also claims that the Nord 6... Read more ›

Развитие LLM значительно изменило процесс разработки ПО. Однако, если присмотреться к тому, как разработчики на самом деле используют эти инструменты, картина оказывается весьма разнообразной. Одни применяют ИИ как продвинутое автодополнение, другие ожидают, что он создаст целое приложение по одному промпту.Чтобы систематизировать подходы к ИИ-программированию, воспользуемся простой моделью. Вместо того чтобы воспринимать «кодинг с ИИ» как единый монолитный процесс, мы можем отобразить его на матрице 2×2, о Read more ›

Хорошие инструменты для отладки встраиваемого ПО микроконтроллеров давно стали делом привычным. Возможности таких инструментов определяются как архитектурой ядра, так и выбором отладчика. Рассмотрим три понятия: DAP (Debug access port), ITM (Instrumentation Trace Macrocell) и RTT (Real-Time Transfer). Всё это «механизмы» позволяющие выводить отладочную информацию в том или ином виде. DAP – это аппаратный блок, который дает доступ к шинам и ядру микроконтроллера. ITM – это специальный блок внутри Cortex-M (н Read more ›

I turned 37 last month. A few days later, for no particular reason, I opened the calculator on my phone and typed in 80 minus 37. Forty-three. I stared at the number for a while. Then I did something I had never done before: I compared the 43 years I have already lived to the ... Read more Read more ›

Most functioning adults run three versions of themselves daily. The exhaustion this produces isn't burnout or laziness — it's the hidden cost of constant identity translation, and it quietly hollows out the self that gets the least attention: the one with no audience. Read more ›

Scientists have engineered probiotic bacteria to act as tumor-seeking drug factories. In mice, these bacteria infiltrated tumors and produced a cancer-fighting drug right where it was needed. This targeted approach could make treatments more effective and reduce side effects. More research is needed before it can be tested in people. Read more ›

У вас есть вещь, которой почти не пользуетесь. Фотоаппарат, перфоратор, палатка. Или — если масштаб другой — экскаватор, который простаивает между объектами. Продать или сдавать в аренду? Большинство решает на интуиции. Мы решили посчитать. Фотоаппарат за 80 000 рублей: продажа даст 50 000 прямо сейчас. Аренда по 900 рублей в сутки при загрузке 40 дней в год — 36 000 рублей, и камера остаётся у вас. Через полтора года аренда... Read more ›

Дизайн-токены — это язык, понятный как дизайнерам, так и разработчикам. Без него продукт получается разрозненным и неповоротливым. Токены и правильный нейминг помогают создавать новые разделы быстрее, а дизайнерам больше думать о сценариях и создавать визуал в рамках продукта, а не заниматься рутиной.Если в вашем коде и макетах до сих пор живут значения типа #0055FF — вы копите технический долг, ведь если понадобится изменить этот цвет на другой, придется менять и...

Researchers also found that when exposure happens may play a key role. Reducing exposure during childhood could help protect long-term bone health. Read more ›

Longtime Slashdot reader tsuliga writes: Two new episodes of Doctor Who that were previously lost have been found. The original Doctor Who episodes were wiped or deleted by the BBC because they were not aware of the future use of re-runs of these shows. Ninety-five of the 253 episodes from the program's first six years are currently missing. How many more episodes are out there waiting to be rediscovered? "The... Read more ›

An anonymous reader quotes a report from Reuters: Meta is planning sweeping layoffs that could affect 20% or more of the company, three sources familiar with the matter told Reuters, as Meta seeks to offset costly artificial intelligence infrastructure bets and prepare for greater efficiency brought about by AI-assisted workers. No date has been set for the cuts and the magnitude has not been finalized, the people said. Top executives... Read more ›

Last June Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller said in a statement that Texans "have a God-given right to know what's on their plate, and for millions of Texans, it better come from a pasture, not a lab. It's plain cowboy logic that we must safeguard our real, authentic meat industry from synthetic alternatives." But California company Wildtype sells lab-grown salmon — and is suing Texas over its ban on cell-cultivated... Read more ›

"A new study suggests the productivity boost from AI may be far smaller than executives claim," writes Slashdot reader BrianFagioli: According to research cited in Foxit's State of Document Intelligence report, while 89% of executives and 79% of end users say AI tools make them feel more productive, the actual time savings shrink dramatically once people account for reviewing and validating AI-generated output. The survey of 1,000 desk-based workers and... Read more ›

California saw its worst drought in 10,000 years between 2012 and 2015, remembers the Washington Post. And yet genetic analyses of California's scarlet monkeyflower "found that many rapidly evolved... allowing them to cope with water scarcity and rebound from decline." "The fact that certain organisms are able to adapt just because of genetics that are already present is a great source of hope," said Daniel Anstett, a plant biologist at... Read more ›

The deal to take control of TikTok's U.S. business came with an unusual condition, according to people familiar with the matter. The investors — which include Oracle, Abu Dhabi investor MGX, and private-equity firm Silver Lake — "paid the Treasury Department about $2.5 billion when the deal closed in January," reports the Wall Street Journal, "and are set to make several additional payments until hitting the $10 billion total."

Last week System76 CEO Carl Richell criticized age-verification laws for operating systems — but he now sees a "real possibility" Colorado's law might exclude open-source. Phoronix reports that the System76 CEO met with the state Senator who co-authored Colorado's bill, and then posted on X.com that the Senator "suggested excluding open source software from the bill." Richell: This appears to be a real possibility. Amendments are expected... It's my hope... Read more ›

"A few developers found a way, for now, to turn a few of these increasingly mediocre Amazon Show devices into friendly, useful, open computers," writes the co-founder of the gaming/tech news site Aftermath.

Plug-in (or "balcony") solar panels can also be hung out a window or be set up in a backyard, reports NPR. They channel energy from the sun straight into a home's electrical outlet, generating enough electricity to power a refrigerator or microwave while "displacing electricity that otherwise would come in from the grid..." But what's holding up their adoption in America? For the panels to become more widely available in... Read more ›
