Bluesky's Newest Product: an AI Tool That Gives You Custom Feeds

"What happens when you can describe the social experience you want and have it built for you...?" asks Bluesky? "We've just started experimenting, but we're sharing it now because we want you to build alongside us."

Парсер‑комбинаторы «с нуля»

Привет, Хабр!Парсер‑комбинаторы и синтаксический анализ в целом — очень интересные темы. Однако материалов со сравнительно низким порогом входа маловато, а в существующих статьях на читателя сразу обрушивается поток терминов и формальностей. Эту статью я позиционирую как введение в парсер‑комбинаторы «для чайников» (или «для самых маленьких» — как вам больше нравится). Цель: попытаться рассказать простым языком и с примерами так, чтобы Вы могли после прочтения написать свой парсер без какого‑либо предварите Read more

Что именно считается просмотром в Telegram Ads — разбор механики

Большинство рекламодателей в Telegram Ads смотрят на Views и думают, что понимают что происходит. CPM низкий - значит дёшево. CTR высокий - значит креатив работает. Views растут - значит охват идёт. На деле все три вывода могут быть одновременно неверными, и это не баг платформы, а её фундаментальная архитектура. В статье разбираю как именно Telegram считает просмотр на уровне клиента, чем это отличается от IAB-стандартов которым следуют все остальные рекламные... Read more

I spent twenty years climbing the ladder and three months in retirement to realize I was measuring success by all the wrong metrics

The first Tuesday after I retired, I made a spreadsheet. Not because anyone asked me to. Not because there was anything to track. I made it because for twenty years, spreadsheets were how I proved I existed. Revenue targets, quarterly growth, team performance indicators, year-over-year comparisons. Every week had a number attached to it, and ... Read more Read more

Gold crossed $5,300 the same week three central banks quietly dumped $47B in US Treasuries. That’s not coincidence — it’s coordination
