Цифровой аудит против галлюцинаций по ГОСТу. Как понять, когда ответу ИИ нельзя верить?

Все мы привыкли, что нейросети — это про креатив, быстрый поиск и «накидай мне презу на завтра», но что происходит, когда вы выводите LLM из зоны комфорта написания стишков, саммари и поздравлений для бухгалтерии, в зону ответственности, такую как анализ сложных документов, комплаенс, медицина, право, аудит или стратегическое планирование и финансы? Там начинается серая зона, где ИИ не просто ошибается, он совершает ложные декларирования исполнения. То есть говорит: «Я прочитал... Read more

Open Source Registries Join Linux Foundation Working Group to Address Machine-Generated Traffic

Under the nonprofit Linux Foundation, "a new Sustaining Package Registries Working Group will seek to identify concrete funding, governance, and security practices," reports ZDNet, "to keep code flowing as download counts grow.... Because software builds, continuous integration pipelines, and AI systems hammer registries at machine speed rather than human speed, the sites can't keep up.

Huawei Watch Fit 5 Pro in for review

Huawei's Watch Fit 5 Pro is officially global, and is priced at £250. The watch comes in Orange, White, and Black. In the box, you'll find the watch, a nice orange fabric strap (in our case), and the universal wireless charging puck (though one that sadly still ends on a USB-A port). The lineup's design is very similar to Apple's Watch and Watch Ultra, but this year we are starting... Read more

People who keep their phone face-down on every table aren’t always being secretive, they may have spent years learning that every unexpected notification meant someone needed something from them

The face-down phone isn't a sign of secrecy. For people raised in environments where every notification meant a new demand, it's a small act of nervous-system regulation — buying a few minutes of quiet from a world that has historically wanted too much. Read more

Энергоэффективность ASIC под пристальным взглядом: что J/TH показывает в реальности и где обманывает паспорт

Энергоэффективность — единственная метрика, которая в долгом периоде определяет, заработает ли ваша майнинг-ферма деньги. Хешрейт можно нарастить, цена монеты не зависит от вас, а вот сколько джоулей уходит на терахеш — это то, на что вы реально влияете и что напрямую превращается в счёт за электричество. Производитель печатает в паспорте красивую цифру J/TH, отзывы соседей в чатах называют другие числа, а ваша ферма третий месяц показывает в отчётах четвёртые. Эта... Read more

Microsoft now recommends 32GB of RAM as the future-proof 'no worries' config for gaming — 16GB becomes the new 'practical starting point' during the RAMageddon

Pretty much no games recommend more than 16GB of RAM, even in the unoptimized era we're living in right now. Only a few titles at their highest presets say 32GB is ideal, so Microsoft claiming that 32GB is the future-proof standard isn't exactly wrong. You'll be fine with 16GB today, but perhaps not tomorrow. Read more
