schwit1 shares a report from the Kathmandu Post: In Nepal, helicopter rescue on high altitude is, by any measure, a genuine lifesaving operation. At high altitude, where oxygen thins and weather changes without warning, the ability to airlift a stricken trekker to Kathmandu within hours has saved countless lives. But threaded through that legitimate system, exploiting its urgency, its opacity, and its distance from oversight, is one of the most sophisticated insurance fraud networks in the world. Nepal's fa

Привет, Хабр! Я постоянно обмениваю одни электрогитары на другие, и несколько дней назад поступило предложение приобрести этот красивый телекастер за более практичный и универсальный инструмент с двумя хамбакерами. Разумеется, отказа не последовало, и теперь перед нами предстанет сверкающее изделие лютиеров из Поднебесной.Времена меняются. Когда-то китайские подделки годились разве что на роль декораций в гостиной или кафе, а на сегодняшнем экземпляре можно играть с большим удовольствием и даже записываться Read more ›

The first thing you notice about the Slate Truck is its size. It's small, surprisingly so. In a country where trucks often come with their own zip code, Slate's pickup is refreshingly puny, measuring 174.6 inches long, 70.6 inches wide, and 69.3 inches tall, with a curb weight of approximately 3,602 pounds (1,634kg). As a […] Read more ›

Pinball video games have been around for years — I cut my teeth on Space Cadet 3D Pinball, which was pre-loaded on Windows 95. They range from realistic recreations of pinball tables you’ll find at arcades to games that could never exist in real life like 2019’s Demon’s Tilt or older ones like Metroid Prime Pinball for the Nintendo DS or Pokémon Pinball for the Game Boy Color. I didn’t... Read more ›

Занимаясь созданием систем искусственного интеллекта, не перестаешь удивляться, из каких порой «костылей» состоят настоящие чудеса прогресса. Например, знаете ли вы, что даже самые современные нейросети фундаментально не умеют перемножать два числа? Они не считают в привычном нам смысле, а скорее запоминают и аппроксимируют ответы.Как так вышло, что ИИ пишет код и сочиняет стихи, но буксует на таблице умножения? Давайте разбираться Read more ›

Привет, Хабр! Меня зовут Aloncie. Пока в моем окружении часто спорят о том, какой язык программирования учить первым, я решил не выбирать легких путей и закопаться в «кишки» системного программирования.Мой проект Rwal — это CLI-утилита (с перспективой перехода на GUI) для управления обоями, которая должна одинаково хорошо чувствовать себя в разных окружениях: от KDE и GNOME до Windows. В этой статье я подробно разберу архитектуру проекта, работу с D-Bus, интеграцию... Read more ›

Всем привет, на проводе снова я и опять буду донимать всех своей синхронизацией. В этом цикле статей предлагаю хорошенечко разобраться в фазовой синхронизации на основе протокола PTPv2 G.8275.1 и его верном спутнике технологии частотной синхронизации Synchronous Ethernet. Изучать будем от и до: физический уровень, для интереса заглянем в осциллограммки, посмотрим на сигнальный обмен, расковыряем дампы, посчитаем параметры, проведем пару сеансов разоблачения, узнаем почему QoS’ы стали нафиг не нужны, как лин Read more ›

Jeff Bezos badly wanted a voice computer.

(And to buy stuff from Jeff Bezos.) But when a team at Amazon set out to […] Read more ›

How powerful is Jupiter's lightning? Thick clouds cover the view, notes Science magazine. But using an instrument on NASA's Juno spacecraft (orbiting Jupiter for the past decade), researchers determined Jupiter's lightning bolts are 100 to 10,000 times more energetic than earth's: A single bolt of lightning on Earth releases about 1 billion joules of energy. That means the most extreme bolts of jovian lightning carry 10 trillion joules of energy,... Read more ›

In many rural areas, America's online shoppers can wait half a week or more for deliveries. But Amazon started a $4 billion "rural delivery push" last year, reports Bloomberg, and has now cut delivery times to under 24 hours for 1 in 5 rural and small-town households, with 48-hour delivery to 62% of rural households. The payoff could be huge. Rural shoppers in the US collectively spend $1 trillion a... Read more ›

"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."

"It's time to charge for access," argues a new opinion piece at The Register. Begging billion-dollar companies to fund open source projects just isn't enough, writes long-time tech reporter Steven J.

Yes, this week YouTube and Meta were found negligent in a landmark case about social media addiction. But "it's still far from certain what this defeat will change," argues The Verge's senior tech and policy editor, "and what the collateral damage could be." If these decisions survive appeal — which isn't certain — the direct outcome would be multimillion-dollar penalties. Depending on the outcome of several more "bellwether" cases in... Read more ›

The Wall Street Journal reports that Rivian "just won a yearslong battle with car dealers in Washington state that threatens the model of how cars are sold." After fighting to sell its vehicles directly to buyers, Rivian threatened to take its case to voters with a ballot measure to permit direct sales. The dealers blinked. The state's dealer lobby not only dropped its opposition to a sales loophole for Rivian... Read more ›
