Meteor Rumbles Over Houston, as Six-Pound Fragment Crashes Into a Texas Home

"It is the talk of the town today — the loud boom, the flash of light in the sky experienced by a lot of folks across the Houston area this afternoon," says a local Texas newscaster. "And then there was this — a home in northwest Harris county hit by something that crashed through their roof."

Travelling at very high speed, the six-pound meteorite crashed through their roof and through their attic, crashing again through the ceiling oF the floor below. It then bounced off the floor, hit the ceiling again.

Парадокс ансамблей: почему «слабые» модели иногда побеждают «сильные»

В ансамблевом прогнозировании важнее не индивидуальное качество моделей, а разнообразие их ошибок. Эксперимент показывает: пул из «худших» по отдельности моделей даёт лучшую точность ансамбля, чем пул из «лучших». Читать далее Read more

Пишем юзербота для MAX:, Green-API и автоматизация рутины. Личный опыт и примеры кода

Юзербот — это обычный аккаунт MAX с подтвержденным номером телефона, которым управляет скрипт. В отличие от официальных чат-ботов, юзербот сидит под капотом обычного клиентского профиля. Официального API для этого нет, платформа такие вольности не любит.

The Document Foundation Removes Dozens of Collabora Developers

Long-time GNOME/OpenOffice.org/LibreOffice contributor Michael Meeks is now general manager of Collabora Productivity. And earlier this month he complained when LibreOffice decided to bring back its LibreOffice Online project, as reported by Neowin, which had been inactive since 2022. After the original project went dormant — to which Collabora was a major contributor — they forked the code and created their own product, Collabora Online. But this week Meeks blogged about...

No, AMD Is Not Buying Intel

"The April 1st timing should have been your first clue," writes Gadget Review. TechSpot's false story was just an April Fool's prank — although Gadget Review thinks it's still funny how "something about this particular piece of satire felt uncomfortably plausible." Maybe it's because AMD stock sits around $196 while Intel hovers near $41, or perhaps it's the poetic justice of the underdog finally eating the giant. The semiconductor world... Read more

TechRepublic adds that the update "was to bring 'production-ready improvements' and generally ensure system stability by optimizing different Windows services."
