HalChat теперь Open Source: как успешный старт в Google Play изменил курс разработки

Всем привет!Недавно я публиковал статью о том, что HalChat вышел в Google Play, и это вызвало небольшой ажиотаж вокруг проекта.

Scientists have uncovered a surprising navigation system in pigeons: iron-filled immune cells in the liver that may act like tiny magnetic sensors. Birds deprived of these cells struggled to find their way home under overcast skies, indicating they rely on Earth’s magnetic field for guidance. The discovery could solve a decades-old mystery about animal navigation and reveal an unexpected connection between immunity and sensing the environment. Read more

Несите огнемёт

Сегодня я расскажу вам про по-настоящему стрёмного паука. Честно признаюсь, у меня выступала испарина всякий раз, когда приходилось иметь с ними дело.Знаете, людям свойственно преувеличивать опасность арахнид. Ведь никто из них даже близко не сравнится по ущербу для человека со своими троюродными хелицеровыми братиками-клещами. Но среди пауков встречаются-таки экземпляры, которых охота обойти по широкой дуге. Загвоздка в том, что некоторые из них не прочь поселиться в человеческом жилье. Читать далее Read more

Is it “microcheating,” or just being online?

A few weeks ago, I was zoning out, scrolling through Instagram stories. Among the usual photos of dinner recipes, museum pictures, and selfies, I saw a post that stopped me cold in my tracks. Rapper Megan Thee Stallion said that her then-boyfriend, basketball player Klay Thompson, cheated on her.  The group chats activated immediately. My […] Read more

Синхронизируем проекты Codex и Claude Code между несколькими устройствами через GitHub (для неинженерных проектов!)

У меня MacBook Air M4, ПК под Ubuntu 24.04, консальные Claude Code и Codex (каждый хорош немного под свои задачи, как по мне). Я люблю Ubuntu, но вот в поездках Mac прям незаменим — с ним удобно работать, батарея живет достаточно долго, даже в самолете можно комфортно что-то тыкать тачпадом. При этом яблочную экосистему я не люблю, Ubuntu мне ближе и приятнее в использовании. Важный момент: я не программист, так... Read more

The economist John Maynard Keynes predicted in 1930 that his grandchildren would be working roughly fifteen hours a week by the early twenty-first century — and the strange thing is that, technologically, he was approximately correct

The leisure did not.  In 1930, as British unemployment was climbing toward Depression-era levels, Keynes wrote a short essay called Economic Possibilities ... Read more Read more
