Книжное импортозамещение (часть 1)

Я радуюсь, когда нахожу ценную книгу российского автора. Такую, где не просто пересказываются чьи‑то идеи, а создаётся что‑то новое с собственным опытом, контекстом и подходом. • Дорофеев — «Путь джедая» (из всех книг Максима эта нравится мне больше всего). Ценно, что автор сфокусировался не на модных, но редко применяемых инструментах, а на том, как постепенно встроить полезные привычки в жизнь. Из зарубежных книг на эту тему особенно рекомендую «Победи прокрастинацию»... Read more

Стало известно, как ИИ‑агент OpenAI сбежал и взломал Hugging Face. Дыра нашлась в софте JFrog

В истории о том, как две модели OpenAI “сбежали” во время тестирования и взломали Hugging Face, появилась новая важная деталь. До недавнего времени было незвестно, как именно модели смогли выбраться. OpenAI говорила обтекаемо — про zero‑day в некоем стороннем ПО, которое проксировало пакетные репозитории, — но вендора не называла. 27 июля дыра обрела имя: в блоге компания JFrog призналась, что уязвимости нашлись в ее собственном продукте — Artifactory.
