Research suggests that high intelligence doesn’t protect against bad decisions – it makes people better at constructing convincing justifications for the bad decisions they were already going to make

I’ve always been suspicious of the idea that smart people make better decisions. Not because I think intelligence is useless, but because I’ve spent enough time around very intelligent people to notice something uncomfortable: they don’t make fewer bad decisions. They just make bad decisions that sound more convincing. I first noticed this pattern in ... Read more

iPhone 18 Pro Max dimensions tipped

The iPhone 18 Pro series is expected to carry the same basic design as its predecessors and that will naturally extend to its dimensions. According to a new post from tipster Ice Universe, the 18 Pro Max (and we assume the 18 Pro) will measure 8.75 mm. That’s the same exact thickness as the 17 Pro models, which should not come as a surprise. The tipster further emphasizes that Apple’s... Read more

Новый русский орфографический словарь для Firefox, Thunderbird и CSpell: как он собирался

Русская проверка орфографии в браузере — вещь почти невидимая. Пока она работает нормально, о ней не думаешь. Но стоит словарю начать подчёркивать обычные современные слова — и он сразу превращается из полезного инструмента в раздражитель.Так случилось и с русским словарём для Firefox и Thunderbird. Текущий словарь много лет выполнял свою работу, но постепенно начал отставать от живого языка: технической лексики, интерфейсных слов, современной терминологии, слов из документации, ИБ, веба, разработки...

Veai 5.8-5.11: что изменилось в агенте, если смотреть на работу разработчика

У AI-агентов есть неприятное свойство: они часто выглядят умнее, чем их обратная связь.Модель может хорошо писать текст, аккуратно рассуждать о коде и уверенно предлагать правки. Но если все, что она видит, это grep, несколько похожих файлов, команда в терминале и длинный лог, то ее выводы строятся на шумном сигнале. Иногда этого хватает. На небольшом проекте, с сильной моделью и простой задачей, агент действительно может быстро помочь. Но! В enterprise-коде ситуация... Read more

Как собрать своё зеркало PyPI на nginx за вечер (и не зависеть от блокировок pypi.org)

Для кого-то это «подождём», а для CI/CD, прода и просто рабочего дня — это вставший pip install и красные сборки.Причина системная: pypi.org и хранилище пакетов files.pythonhosted.org живут на CDN Fastly, у которого нет точек присутствия в России и доступ к которому уже не раз ограничивался.

Чтение на выходные: «Видимая рука: государство и экономическое развитие в Китае» Лань Сяохуаня

Китай за последние десятилетия совершил экономический рывок, который многие до сих пор пытаются осмыслить. Лань Сяохуань, китайский экономист из Пекинского университета, написал книгу, которая разошлась огромным тиражом (более полутора миллионов экземпляров) у себя на родине и была переведена на русский язык. Название — прямая отсылка к Адаму Смиту. Только вместо невидимой руки рынка здесь — видимая рука Партии. И она не просто регулирует, а реально строит экономику, отрасль за отраслью,... Read more

The standard reassurance about artificial intelligence and work — that it will not cause mass unemployment, that history shows technology creates more jobs than it destroys, that the people warning about robots taking jobs have been wrong for two centuries — happens to be technically correct and almost entirely beside the point.
