Early warning signs—like deepfakes and fake news networks—have already appeared in global elections. Researchers warn that the next election could be the true test of this technology’s power.

Привет! Продолжаю разбирать классические задачи с System Design интервью на стримах (за анонсами можете следить тут), а это текстовая версия стрима. В прошлый раз была бесконечная лента, сегодня очередная классика жанра - веб-краулер. Условие звучит примерно так: Читать далее Read more ›

Сейчас только ленивый не делает свой нодовый редактор.Я решил помочь всем быть ещё ленивее и сделать вилку для макаронного монстра: открытый конструктор, в котором сам нодовый редактор собирается из готовых частей, а ноды перестают быть пленниками одной программы и превращаются в переносимые штуки. Ноду можно скачать, поставить себе, кинуть другому человеку, бросить в библиотеку, собрать из нескольких цепочку — а потом свернуть эту цепочку обратно в одну ноду.Проект называется SnarkRoute....

На дворе 2026 год, и где-то под вашими ногами — в бездонной тьме глубокой континентальной скважины или в кипящем рассоле древнего солончака — тлеет какое-то свечение. Это живое существо, которое нельзя найти ни в одном учебнике. У него нет ДНК. Его клеточная мембрана, если она у него вообще есть, состоит из липидов, скрученных «не в ту сторону». Оно никогда не появляется в результатах анализа 16S рРНК, оно гибнет от голода... Read more ›

I am not a psychologist or a therapist, and this is a piece of reading and reflection on an old text and one modern study, not advice. The research I mention here comes from a particular group of people at a particular moment, not a settled rule about how every mind works. The line comes ... Read more Read more ›

A newly identified crocodile species nicknamed “Lucy’s hunter” prowled Ethiopia’s rivers when Lucy’s species walked the Earth more than 3 million years ago. The giant predator was likely the most dangerous animal in the ecosystem and may have regularly hunted early human relatives. Read more ›

A three-year study of nearly 4,000 adults ranging from age 19 to 94 found that brain health can improve at any age, challenging the common belief that mental sharpness must decline as we get older. Participants spent just a few minutes a day on brain-training activities, and researchers found measurable gains across multiple aspects of brain health, including thinking clarity, emotional well-being, and sense of purpose.

Ancient encounters between humans and the mysterious Denisovans are still shaping people today. By analyzing genomes from populations across the Pacific, researchers uncovered evidence that the ancestors of Near Oceanians interbred with at least three different Denisovan groups, leaving behind genetic variants that remain active in modern humans.

A new international study finds that middle-aged Americans are lonelier, more depressed, and experiencing worse memory and health than earlier generations.

One of the most celebrated claims about Yellowstone’s wolves is facing a major challenge. Scientists say the study behind the famous trophic cascade story relied on flawed methods that overstated the ecological impact of wolf recovery. Their reanalysis found no evidence for a dramatic, park-wide surge in willow growth. Instead, the effects appear smaller and vary from place to place. Read more ›

Parrots may be doing more than just repeating words—they may actually use names. By analyzing hundreds of recordings from pet parrots, researchers found evidence that many birds use specific names to identify particular people, animals, and even individual companions. Some parrots appeared to refer to someone who wasn’t present, while others used names in creative ways, such as saying their own name to grab attention. Read more ›

People taking popular weight-loss drugs such as Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Zepbound may be losing pounds, but they could also be moving less. Researchers analyzing Fitbit data found that daily step counts and exercise levels dropped after people started these medications, despite successful weight loss. Because the drugs can reduce muscle mass along with fat, the decline in physical activity raises concerns about preserving strength and long-term health. Read more ›

Mice on a sucrose-free low-fat diet showed worse blood sugar control, increased inflammation, disrupted gut bacteria, and signs of fatty liver compared with mice that consumed some sucrose. Researchers say the results highlight the importance of a balanced diet and a healthy gut microbiome rather than focusing solely on cutting out sugar. Read more ›

What if some black holes aren’t black holes at all? A new theoretical study suggests that when a massive star collapses, it might not form a singularity hidden behind an event horizon. Instead, the collapse could trigger the birth of a tiny new universe inside the dying star. Driven by dark energy, this miniature cosmos would expand and push back against gravity, preventing complete collapse and creating an exotic object... Read more ›
