OpenAI is updating Codex with more agent-like capabilities, positioning it as a more direct rival to Anthropic's Claude Code. Some of the new features include the ability to operate macOS desktop apps, browse the web inside the app, generate images, use new workplace plug-ins, and remember useful context from past tasks. The Verge reports: Codex will now be able to operate desktop apps on your computer, OpenAI says in a blog post announcing the update. It can work in the background, meaning it won't interfe

Siri Uses Pill Shape to Hide the Dynamic Island in iOS 27, But iPhone 18 Could Make It a Circle

In iOS 27, Siri now appears as a glowing pill-shaped orb that expands directly from the Dynamic Island, but may give way to a circle on next-generation iPhones. Instead of the glowing light effect that previously traced the edges of the display, a swirling ‌Siri‌ orb expands from the ‌Dynamic Island‌ in ‌iOS 27‌, with the design hiding its true cutouts, just like other ‌Dynamic Island‌ animations.

Реальные профессии будущего, а не «промпт-инженер» и про то, как мировой средний класс исчезает

Массовый средний класс появился относительно недавно — после промышленной революции. И сейчас он постепенно сужается. Рутинный и офисный труд вымывается, но растёт спрос на высококвалифицированных специалистов — STEM, медицина — и то, чем не смогут заниматься роботы. Сложнее всего роботам приходится в непредсказуемой физической среде: уход за людьми, стройка, монтаж, ремонт, полевые работы, ручная доводка на производстве. То есть там, где нужно постоянное адаптивное суждение, с которым алгоритмы справляются Read more

PostgreSQL не тормозит. Почему мы перестали масштабировать базу данных и начали масштабировать архитектуру

Каждый раз, когда в компании возникают проблемы с производительностью PostgreSQL, обсуждение обычно идет по одному и тому же сценарию.Сначала DBA оптимизируют запросы. Потом появляются новые индексы. Потом увеличивается размер серверов. Затем появляются реплики. Потом еще реплики. И через некоторое время выясняется, что значительная часть бюджета на инфраструктуру уходит на обслуживание системы, которая изначально должна была просто хранить данные.Недавно мы в Tarantool столкнулись именно с такой ситуацией.

Saint HighLoad++ 2026: семь маршрутов, по которым команда становится сильнее

О четвёртой промышленной революции говорили так долго, что к разговорам успели привыкнуть. А она тем временем уже разворачивается прямо в редакторах кода. Все прошлые промышленные революции ускоряли физический труд. Эта впервые взялась за труд когнитивный: за проектирование, написание кода, ревью, отладку, за всё, чем инженер занят каждый день. Куда это приведёт, честно не знает пока никто. Понятно при этом одно: разбираться придётся всем, и разбираться всерьёз. Под этот сдвиг команда... Read more

Apple, meanwhile, says regulators rejected its proposals and claims the DMA would require giving third-party AI systems overly broad access to users' devices.
