AI Is Coming for Car Salesmen

An anonymous reader quotes a report from The Drive: An auto dealer software company is pitching AI-powered kiosks designed to replace car salesmen on showroom floors. Automotive News says the industry is "skeptical." But be honest -- would you really rather deal with the average car lot shark than a computer?

Epikar, a South Korean company that cooks up digital management solutions for car dealers, has named its new AI invention the Pikar Genie. The idea is that customers can talk to this device, ask it p

[Перевод] Создаём брандмауэр при помощи eBPF и контрольных групп

Технология eBPF — интересная штука. С её помощью можно без труда внедрять в ядро Linux фрагменты кода, которые затем компилируются в коды операций (опкоды), которые гарантированно не обрушат работу ядра. Набор допустимых инструкций ограничен, переходы назад не допускаются (поэтому не будет никаких неопределённых циклов). При этом вы не можете разыменовывать указатели, но вместо этого можете выполнять проверяемые операции считывания через указатели, которые потенциально могут оказаться неудачными, но при это Read more

[Перевод] Google окончательно убил OpenAI? Как Gemma 4 меняет правила игры

Буду честен. Я перестал следить за Gemma после второй версии.
