My mother told a story about me at a dinner party in 2019. I wasn’t there. The story got back to me through a cousin, the way these things do, slightly rounded at the edges from the journey. In the story, I was a confident young man who had built a successful business through sheer ... Read more Read more ›

Сегодня в обсуждении AI часто звучит тезис, что джуны индустрии больше не нужны и учиться программированию бессмысленно. Я с этим тезисом не согласен. Под словом «джун» рынок объединил две разные категории: выпускника инженерной программы и человека, который три месяца смотрел видеолекции и собрал три pet-проекта. AI давит на вторую категорию, первую почти не трогает. Настоящих джунов и так было мало. Они нужны индустрии больше, чем раньше. Ниже: что должен знать... Read more ›

I was at my parents’ house in London a few years ago, sometime in the strange middle of an afternoon, and my mother went out to the shops. She said she’d be about an hour. She closed the front door. The house went quiet. My father was in the living room. I was in the ... Read more Read more ›

Drugs designed to clear amyloid beta from the brain—once seen as a promising path to slowing Alzheimer’s—may not actually help patients in any meaningful way, according to a major review of over 20,000 participants.

Я раньше был уверен, что понимаю, как работает отслеживание в интернете. Очистил cookies - чист. Включил VPN - спрятался. Поставил блокировщик - стал почти невидимым.

Достаточно собрать достаточно признаков, чтобы отличить тебя от всех остальных. Версия браузера, разрешение экрана, поведение мыши,... Read more ›

Знакомая история: команда полгода шлифовала функционал, тестировщики уничтожили все баги, а пользователи уходят. Аналитик разводит руками, поддержка задыхается от тикетов, маркетинг угрожает продакту, а продакт – дизайнеру. В это время CFO считает расходы и грустно вздыхает. Больно видеть, как много появляется на рынке таких продуктов, прошедших технические проверки и проваливших испытание пользовательским опытом. Идеально работающих, но никому не нужных. Что делать, чтобы не войти в их число? Читать далее Read more ›

An anonymous reader quotes a report from VentureBeat: The whale has resurfaced. DeepSeek, the Chinese AI startup offshoot of High-Flyer Capital Management quantitative analysis firm, became a near-overnight sensation globally in January 2025 with the release of its open source R1 model that matched proprietary U.S. giants. It's been an epoch in AI since then, and while DeepSeek has released several updates to that model and its other V3 series,... Read more ›

BrianFagioli writes: Notepad++ has finally made its way to macOS, and this time it is not through a compatibility layer. A new community-driven port brings the long-standing Windows text editor over as a fully native Mac application, built with Cocoa and compiled for both Apple Silicon and Intel systems. Instead of relying on Wine or similar tools, the project replaces the Windows-specific interface with a macOS-native one while keeping the... Read more ›

An anonymous reader quotes a report from Ars Technica: In January, the European Commission began an initial investigation, known as a specification proceeding, into how Google has implemented AI in the Android operating system. The results are in, and the EU says Android needs to be more open, which is not surprising. Meanwhile, Google says this amounts to "unwarranted intervention," which is equally unsurprising. Regardless of Google's characterization of the... Read more ›
