О grammar constraints, валидном JSON и ошибочном понимании языкаКажется, что разговор о формальных грамматиках в LLM - это узкая инженерная тема для тех, кто заставляет модель соблюдать формат ответа. Но вокруг этого частного приема все чаще вырастает более сильный тезис: будто ограничение генерации не просто делает вывод надежнее, а подводит модель ближе к смыслу, пониманию и даже к самой природе языка. Именно в этот момент технический разговор перестает быть только... Read more

There's a glass roof — but no rear-view window. Instead the Polestar 4 replaces the rear-view mirror with a live feed from a wide-angle camera.

Remembering Zip Drives - the Trendy Storage Technology of the 1990s

Back in the 1990s, floppy disks "had a mere capacity of 1.44MB," remembers XDA Developers, "which would soon become absolutely tiny for the increasingly large pieces of software that would come about." Floppy disks also felt quite fragile, and while we got "superfloppy" formats that were physically larger and had more capacity, those were pretty unwieldy as portable storage.
