Russia moves four satellites to close gap with commercial radar satellite delivering intelligence to Ukraine, while fifth satellite makes similar move — US officials believe some of them to be part of an anti-satellite weapons program

These Russian satellites are getting uncomfortably close to a U.S.- and European-operated radar satellite, particularly in Ukraine, used for reconnaissance missions. While their intentions are unclear, these maneuvers consume a lot of fuel and are not typically undertaken by other satellites. Read more

Вариационное исчисление как метафора свободы выбора: от градиентного спуска к онтологии пути

В современной науке о данных и машинном обучении мы постоянно решаем задачу оптимизации: найти в многомерном пространстве параметров точку, минимизирующую функцию потерь. Градиентный спуск, метод Ньютона, эволюционные алгоритмы — все они суть разные способы ответить на вопрос: «Как из точки А (хаос, необученная сеть) попасть в точку Б (порядок, решающая правило)?»Однако за этой, казалось бы, сугубо прикладной проблемой скрывается фундаментальный философский вопрос: обязательно ли наличие единственного «прав Read more

Ekahau Sidekick и RSSI‑offset: физические ограничения метода и пять независимых причин неточности клиентской модели

Аннотация. В статье рассматривается физическая основа измерений Ekahau Sidekick и механизм применяемого RSSI‑offset с позиций теории антенн, теории шума радиоприёмных устройств, статистической теории сигналов и стандартов IEEE 802.11. Показано, что scalar RSSI‑offset является линейным сдвигом уровня и не моделирует ни реальный SNR клиентского устройства, ни структуру QAM‑созвездия, ни алгоритм rate adaptation, ни роуминговое поведение. Помимо пяти независимых физических и системных причин неточности, рассма Read more

Scientists have directly watched angular momentum move through a crystal for the very first time — and discovered a bizarre twist along the way. Using ultra-powerful terahertz laser pulses, researchers triggered tiny atomic rotations inside a quantum material and found that the direction of rotation can unexpectedly flip as momentum is transferred. The strange reversal happens because of the crystal’s underlying symmetry, creating an almost impossible-sounding effect where two rotations... Read more
