Опытные разработчики с ИИ‑ассистентом нередко работают медленнее, а не быстрее. В рандомизированном эксперименте METR (июль 2025) опытные разработчики выполняли реальные задачи на 19% дольше с ИИ — и при этом были уверены, что ускорились примерно на 20%. Разрыв между ощущением и фактом — около 40 пунктов.Это не значит, что ИИ бесполезен. Это значит, что выгода не появляется сама по себе от факта покупки инструмента. Данные по компаниям говорят о том... Read more ›

Когда у вас в компании 50 ИТ-активов, таблица Excel с выпадающими списками, условным форматированием и парой макросов для автоматического подсчета вполне справляется с учетом. Но если их 500+ и они распределены по 10 филиалам, Excel превращается из инструмента контроля в генератор хаоса. В этой статье я разберу подводные камни управления ИТ-активами в табличных редакторах: от мутации данных до невозможности отследить реальную конфигурацию виртуальных машин. Читать далее Read more ›

Самый частый сценарий в моей практике: бизнес дает полстраницы требований, а через день спрашивает «ну что, готово?». Между ними — зона ответственности разработчика: уточнить, формализовать, согласовать. И только потом писать код. За последние пару лет этот процесс изменился сильнее, чем технологии.

Futurism reports: in a new essay for The Chronicle Higher Education, university-level literature and writing instructor Tyler Jagt recalls how not a single one of his students could get through an assigned 20-page article, something that he had read "without complaint" as an undergraduate a decade ago. One student confessed that the reason they didn't finish was that they kept losing track of what the paper was about. And there's... Read more ›

BrianFagioli writes: Google CEO Sundar Pichai delivered Stanford University's 2026 commencement address, but despite leading one of the companies at the center of the AI boom, he spent very little time discussing artificial intelligence. Instead, the speech focused on optimism, working on hard things, and following your interests. The omission is notable given how many graduates are entering a job market being reshaped by AI. While Pichai briefly referenced a... Read more ›

Longtime Slashdot reader necro81 writes: The heavily promoted, $499 T1 "Trump Phone" was originally said to be "Made in the USA" and ship in September 2025. Later, that was downgraded to "Assembled in the USA." Given the Trump Organization's lack of engineering or supply chain expertise, many assumed the "T1" would just be a private-label phone made by someone else. After a number of delays, the first phones are finally... Read more ›

An anonymous reader quotes a report from Ars Technica: A decade ago, AMD added a protection to its high-end CPUs to protect them against cold boot attacks and other types of physical exploits that siphon sensitive data out of the connected memory chips. Short for Transparent Secure Memory Encryption, TSME encrypts the entire contents stored in memory, making the data useless to physical attackers. Over time, AMD added TSME to... Read more ›
