Недавно в блоге МТС вышла замечательная статья в честь дня рождения Терри Пратчетта. Ну а я бы хотел начать этот материал с его смерти.Терри Пратчетт умер в 2015-м от заднего коркового атрофического синдрома — редкой формы раннего Альцгеймера. Болезнь в данном случае поражает вместо памяти зрительную кору: говоря грубо, он глазами видел на столе чашку, но мозг отказывался принимать сигнал, что это чашка. При этом он прекрасно понимал и осознавал,... Read more ›

Жил-был за океаном Антропикопитек — зверь учёный, безопасный, этичный, совсем не доктор Зло. И вывел он в тайных палатах своих модель невиданную, и нарёк её именем гордым — Мифос. И было у Мифоса удаль богатырская: любую крепость софтверную ковыряет за ночь, дырку находит там, где двадцать семь лет никто не видел (привет, OpenBSD, отличная выдержка, как у виски).Акт первый.

Лицензии Creative Commons сыграли большую роль в развитии интернета, но многие до сих пор сомневаются, насколько они работают на практике. Что происходит, когда нарушитель использует CC-фотографию без указания авторства и можно ли взыскать с него компенсацию. Суды рассматривают нарушение лицензий CC как нарушение авторских прав, за которое можно требовать компенсацию. Но размер и реальность этой компенсации зависят от регистрации авторского права, доказанного ущерба и практики конкретной юрисдикции — «автом Read more ›

![[Перевод] MSX на ESP32-S3 с VGA-выходом](https://times42.com/media/4/9/2/12574492_640x200.jpg "[Перевод] MSX на ESP32-S3 с VGA-выходом")
По многим критериям ESP32-S3 - это весьма мощный маленький компьютер. Неудивительно, что его используют даже для таких задач, как эмуляция ретро-консолей и тому подобного. В рамках проекта S3-MSX-PC [Иван Сварковский] (Ivan Svarkovsky) пошел еще дальше: он взял компонент MSX из мультисистемного проекта Retro-Go и оптимизировал его под процессорные ядра Xtensa Lx7, установленные в ESP32-S3.

Юридический домен требует понимания многочисленных связей между сущностями, рассеянными по множеству документов. Поэтому кажется, что область знаний, организованная таким образом, идеально может быть представлена в виде графа знаний: связи между нормами, прецедентами и понятиями, рассеянными по тысячам документов, наконец-то перестают теряться. Современные фреймворки обещают построить такой граф автоматически, в пару команд. Но между "запуском из коробки" и рабочей аналитической системой на практике лежит. Read more ›

Годами учим модели отказывать на вредное, а вся их стойкость висит на одном векторе. Большой иллюстрированный разбор: как несхожие атаки сошлись к одной мысли и куда уходит фронтир.

After 50 years of searching, astronomers say they have finally found evidence of a long-sought "wind" blowing from Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way. "Unless a black hole exists in a perfect vacuum, it must blow a wind somehow. And there is no perfect vacuum in the universe," team co-leader and Northwestern University researcher Mark Gorski said in a statement. "With new observations,... Read more ›
