An anonymous reader quotes a report from the BBC: Hong Kong police can now demand phone or computer passwords from those who are suspected of breaching the wide-ranging National Security Law (NSL). Those who refuse could face up to a year in jail and a fine of up to $12,700, and individuals who provide "false or misleading information" could face up to three years in jail. It comes as part of new amendments to a bylaw under the NSL that the government gazetted on Monday.
The NSL was introduced in Hong Kon

Я живу в Чебоксарах и запускаю ИИ-пилот в местной школе. Когда понадобилось проверить, какие LLM действительно способны помочь российским учителям в их работе — оказалось, что бенчмарка для этого не существует. MERA тестирует, может ли модель решить задания ЕГЭ. EduBench — только английский и китайский. Российское образование — это ФГОС, технологические карты уроков, ОГЭ, чувашский язык — и ничего из этого ни один бенчмарк не покрывает.Мы сделали EduBench-RU — первый... Read more ›

Возвращаясь к теме DWDM (https://habr.com/ru/articles/1008314/) решил написать небольшую информационную статью про саму технологию. Оптическое волокно — это среда, по которой свет распространяется с минимальными потерями в определённом диапазоне длин волн. Идея спектрального уплотнения (WDM) проста: вместо одного луча света запускаем много лучей (каналов) с разными длинами волн. Обычно для длины волны используют термин лямбда. Они не мешают друг другу, как радиостанции на разных частотах. DWDM (Dense Wavel Read more ›

But once they learn the connection, most support warning labels—suggesting people want clearer information. Experts warn that awareness is lagging even among healthcare providers.

Balance problems in aging and Parkinson’s may come from the body working too hard, not too little. Scientists found that the brain and muscles become overactive during even minor disturbances, yet this actually weakens balance recovery. At the same time, muscles can stiffen against each other, making movement less stable. This unexpected pattern could help predict who is more likely to fall. Read more ›

Многие уверены, что если сервис поднят в кластере — значит, он защищён от любых потрясений инфраструктуры, и, если что-то случится, Kubernetes "сам всё поднимет". Но на деле есть нюанс. Реальная устойчивость и грамотный disaster recovery появляются только на стыке платформы, клиентской логики и конфигурации сервисов. А обнаружить узкие места возможно только во время инцидентов или плановых аварийных учений. Так мы и поступили: выключили 30% нод в production кластере и посмотрели,... Read more ›
