В этом тексте я написал про то как написать крохотный, но очень полезный загрузчик. В программировании на STM32 бывает нужно сделать так, чтобы загрузчик оказался не в начале Flash памяти а в конце. Поэтому надо написать отдельную крохотную прошивку первичного загрузчика, которая просто при старте передает управление на другой адрес в физической памяти. Такие прошивки я называю MBR (Master Boot record). Читать далее Read more

Нейросети для репетитора: раскраски, кроссворды, уникальные задания — и дети сами просятся на урок

Хороший репетитор отличается от плохого не знанием предмета. Знание предмета — это база, она есть у всех. Хороший репетитор отличается тем, что ребёнок идёт на занятие с удовольствием, а не со вздохом.Это особенно важно с маленькими детьми. Ребёнок 7–9 лет не может сидеть над учебником сорок минут подряд. Ему нужна смена форматов, игровые элементы, что-то неожиданное. И вот здесь нейросеть становится настоящим суперинструментом для репетитора.В этой статье — конкретные способы... Read more

Are Employers Using Your Data To Figure Out the Lowest Salary You'll Accept?

MarketWatch looks at "surveillance wages," pay rates "based not on an employee's performance or seniority, but on formulas that use their personal data, often collected without employees' knowledge." According to Nina DiSalvo, policy director at labor advocacy group Towards Justice, some systems use signals associated with financial vulnerability — including data on whether a prospective employee has taken out a payday loan or has a high credit-card balance — to...

Slashdot reader Kirkman14 writes: A year before the Web opened to the public, Texas entrepreneur Don Lokke was trying to syndicate weekly political cartoons to bulletin board systems. His "telecomics," as he called them, represent an overlooked early experiment in online comics.

Microsoft Pulls Then Re-Issues Windows 11 Preview Update.  Also Begins Force-Updating Windows 11

TechRepublic adds that the update "was to bring 'production-ready improvements' and generally ensure system stability by optimizing different Windows services."
