Just last month, The Ankler, one of Substack's most popular publications, left for a platform that gives it more control over its site. Others who have departed Substack within the past year voiced similar […] Read more ›

I've always been skeptical of products that claim to help you lead a more creative life. But one recently won me over. I've spent three weeks with the Cricut Joy 2, a smart cutting and drawing machine that made it easy for me to get back into making stickers, cards, bookmarks, and more. The small […] Read more ›

У кого на сервере крутится Xray, рано или поздно сталкивается с ошибками вerror.log: обрывы, таймауты, несовпадение SNI, исчерпанные попытки переподключения и прочая диагностика. Смотреть «хвостом» в консоли можно, но это плохо масштабируется: хочется понимать причины, динамику, кто к нам ломится — и желательно без тяжёлого стека вроде ELK на домашней VPS.Я собрал XrayPulse — небольшой дашборд под эту задачу и залил на github, чтобы ими могли воспользоваться другие.

Сегодня беспилотником, будь он наземный, плавающий и тем более летающий, никого не удивить. А вот в 1986-ом, когда случилась авария на ЧАЭС, дроны были многим в диковинку и работали они в основном в космосе и в разведке. Сложность ликвидации катастрофы заставили советское руководство обратить своё внимание на НРТК — наземные робототехнические комплексы. Они более устойчивы для радиации, чем люди, могут работать на износ в режиме камикадзе и банально могут тащить... Read more ›

Второе начало термодинамики гласит: энтропия замкнутой системы не убывает. Любой сложный порядок — будь то живая клетка или работающий двигатель — это локально пониженная энтропия. Чтобы поддерживать такой порядок, его нельзя просто «сохранять»: необратимые процессы деградации идут постоянно и самопроизвольно. Порядок требует непрерывного восстановления.Но восстановление порядка означает локальное уменьшение энтропии — а это возможно лишь в том случае, если система открыта: избыточная энтропия сбрасывается.

Когда-то в далеком 1968 году Филип К. Дик задавался вопросом: «Мечтают ли андроиды об электрических овцах?» Способны ли машины переживать, желать и видеть сны? Хоть сегодняшние «андроиды» и несколько иные, чем в произведении, вопрос до сих остается актуальным. Только слегка сместился фокус: не «мечтают ли», а «снятся ли им цифровые овцы»? Существует ли у нейросетей аналог фазы медленного сна, перерабатывают ли они данные «во сне» и, главное, способны ли «видеть... Read more ›

Когда я начал разбираться, чем в open source можно закрыть задачу ASOC / Vulnerability Management, выбор оказался довольно грустным. По сути единственный известный вариант это DefectDojo. Сам я его в production не тащил, но от коллег регулярно слышал одну и ту же боль: на больших объёмах findings он начинает захлёбываться, в UI быстро не хочется заходить, а аналогов с человеческим интерфейсом и БДУ ФСТЭК «из коробки» в open source я...

The Wall Street Journal reports that OpenAI "recently gave its popular ChatGPT strict instructions. Stop talking about goblins." Recent models of the artificial-intelligence chatbot have been bringing up the creatures in conversations with users seemingly out of the blue, as well as gremlins, trolls and ogres. The goblin-speak caught the attention of programmers, who are often heavy users of the bot. Barron Roth, a 32-year-old product manager at a tech... Read more ›

"Amazon's mentality back then is they wanted to have the lowest price out in the marketplace, even lower than Walmart... Essentially what Amazon wanted... Read more ›

A startup south of Austin is using robots to build homes out of clay pulled directly from the ground, reports a local news station: The materials are gathered on site, mixed, and placed on a build plate. From there, a robot lowers from above, picks up the clay with a claw, carries it to the wall and drops it into place. Later, the same robot switches tools, using a hammer... Read more ›

A new meta-analysis found nutrients in food decreased over the last 40 years, reports the Washington Post. "Many of humanity's most important crops — including wheat, potatoes, beans — contain fewer vitamins and minerals than they did a generation ago." "The invisible culprit behind this damaging phenomenon? Carbon dioxide pollution." Surging concentrations of carbon in the atmosphere, caused largely by burning fossil fuels, have produced potent changes in the way... Read more ›
