Считалось, что культура стала нашим надежным щитом от естественного отбора. Но 15 тысяч древних геномов доказывают обратное: когда мы распахали поля и построили города, наша ДНК включилась в яростную гонку на выживание.Там, где раньше мы видели лишь статистический шум, теперь очевиден жесткий направленный отбор.

Очень удобно пользоваться LLM для развития своей идеи или концепции, будь то философия, роман, код или архитектура. ИИ, как напарник, всегда вас поддерживает, добавляет факты, отвечает на вопросы, выступает как критик и иногда соавтор.

Я хотел понять, может ли Gemma 4 заменить облачную модель в моей обычной повседневной работе с кодом через агента. Не в теории, а по-настоящему. Я каждый день пользуюсь Codex CLI, и модель по умолчанию у меня — GPT-5.4. Работает она хорошо, но есть два нюанса: каждый токен стоит денег, и каждый промпт уводит мой код на чужие серверы. Плюс у меня есть друзья, которые всерьёз думают вложиться в локальные сетапы,... Read more ›
