How AI Assistants Are Moving the Security Goalposts

An anonymous reader quotes a report from KrebsOnSecurity: AI-based assistants or "agents" -- autonomous programs that have access to the user's computer, files, online services and can automate virtually any task -- are growing in popularity with developers and IT workers. But as so many eyebrow-raising headlines over the past few weeks have shown, these powerful and assertive new tools are rapidly shifting the security priorities for organizations, while blurring the lines between data and code, trusted co

The Stars My Destination is classic proto-cyberpunk

This might feel like a somewhat obvious recommendation to some, but it flew under my radar until now. Alfred Bester's The Stars My Destination (originally published as Tiger! Tiger! in the UK) is a 1956 sci-fi novel that some have cited as a precursor to cyberpunk. It's a work I admit I have some conflicted […] Read more

Как ИИ-подхалимы затягивают в ИИ-психоз, или К чему приводит токсичное поддакивание

Привет Хабр!Почти весь короткий век триумфального распространения нейросетей главная претензия к ним — галлюцинации. Любая модель может правдоподобно и структурировано выдумать факты, перепутать детали, а признать свою ошибку только тогда, когда ей об этом прямо укажут.Поколения нейросетей стремительно сменяются, постепенно снижая процент галлюцинаций. Но исследователи начали бить тревогу о новой проблеме — поддакивании нейросетей в диалоге с пользователем. И нашли закономерности в диалогах с ИИ: логика раз Read more

Контейнеры вместо серверов: Как устроена система обмена данными, которую нельзя заблокировать и подделать

Представьте, что ваш мессенджер — это не одно приложение, привязанное к серверу в чужой стране, а персональный «цифровой контейнер», который вы можете парковать у любого провайдера или на своей машине. При смене «парковки» ваши контакты, история и подписки переезжают вместе с вами без потери связи, а каждое публичное сообщение получает математическое доказательство авторства, которое не под силу оспорить даже суду. В этой статье разберем идеологию, сетевой протокол и контуры применения... Read more

ICMP-туннель на уровне ядра Linux: передаём TCP/UDP-трафик через эхо-запросы

Недавно я наткнулся на статью о том, что в ICMP-пакеты можно вставлять произвольные данные.

Как я стал вайбкодером (а казался, наверное, приличным человеком)

Не думал, что мне придется это сказать: я — вайбкодер. Все надеялся, как-нибудь обойдется, я же, в конце концов, умею и нормальной IDE пользоваться, и руками код пишу. Не бог весть какие сложные вещи, однако же и не совсем ерунду.Все-таки Java, Spring Boot, Vaadin, Flowable, Camunda, Jmix, RabbitMQ — вполне себе энтерпрайзно.

NETоз: собственная ДНК как… оружие?

Как известно, ДНК служит хранилищем всей информации, необходимой клетке для развития, поддержания своего существования и выполнения своей функции. Около двух метров хроматина (ДНК в комплексе с белками – гистонами) лежит в ядре каждой клетки в конденсированном (чудовищно свернутом) виде – немудрено и запутаться. Было бы очень скучно, если бы это сокровище не нашло бы применения получше, чем просто какое-то там хранилище информации. И такое применение нашлось! Читать далее Read more

Human societies didn’t just adapt to the planet—they learned to reshape it. From early fire use to today’s global supply chains, our cultural and social innovations have unlocked extraordinary power to transform Earth and improve human life. But that progress has come with serious costs, including climate change, pollution, and mass extinction. Instead of framing this era—the Anthropocene—as pure crisis, Erle Ellis argues it’s also proof of something hopeful: when... Read more

Платформы разработки для самых маленьких и не только

Некоторое время назад я был участником команды, реализующей решение, на базе которого можно развернуть internal development platform.
