America's National Science Board (NSB) "was established in 1950 to guide the governance of the National Science Foundation," writes the Washington Post, "in an unusual structure within the federal government that echoes the setup of a company board in the private sector. It helps guide an agency that operates Antarctic research stations, telescopes, a fleet of research vessels and supports basic science research in laboratories across the United States." (NSF research has helped evolve the technology used i

В голливудском блокбастере «Загадочная история Бенджамина Баттона», действие которого происходит в Америке XX века, мы видим, как Бенджамин Баттон появляется на свет с телом 80-летнего мужчины, но затем молодеет. Символизм здесь очевиден: пережив радости молодости, он всё равно возвращается в младенчество — это тонкий намёк на тщетность попыток бросить вызов природе.И всё же, по мнению Юрия Дейгина, соучредителя компании YouthBio Therapeutics из Сиэтла, Голливуд ошибается в одном простом вопросе: нельзя...

Возможно, вы слышали про дешёвый жёлтый дисплей, он же CYD (Cheap Yellow Display). Если нет, то это плата с ESP32, с дисплеем, жёлтая и, сюрприз, дешёвая. У платы достаточно активное сообщество, хотя готовых проектов не так уж много. Но на Instructables мне встретился один, который использует эту плату для создания ретро-консоли. При этом она получилась приятной на вид и рекомендуется самим сайтом (то есть имеет метку featured). Поэтому я сразу... Read more ›

В этой подборке — несколько устройств, созданных специально для работы с текстом. Все они устроены по-разному: одни используют E Ink-экраны, другие построены на Raspberry Pi, третьи позволяют подключить собственную клавиатуру. Но идея у них одна и та же: после включения пользователь сразу попадает в текстовый редактор и может сосредоточиться на работе. Что предлагает рынок? Оказывается, подобных моделей немало.

Когда разработчик впервые применяет языковую модель, ошибка часто возникает ещё до первого ответа. Он переносит на модель собственный способ работы и ожидает, что она будет действовать как человек: запоминать информацию «в голове», уставать, понимать интерфейс и спорить. Это некорректный перенос.Языковая модель — не человек. Это инструмент, порождающий код на основе статистических связей. Данная статья родилась как небольшая помощь моим юным коллегам, позволяющая получить набор эргономичных правил для взаим Read more ›

Через час вы уже не помните, на что смотрели, но фоновая тревога никуда не исчезает. Перед нами те самые «хищные вещи века» — термин, который братья Стругацкие ввели еще в 1964 году, задолго до появления таргета и дофаминовых петель соцсетей. Но поначалу мечта была... Read more ›

← Первая частьAP-102 и VHSICВ середине 1980-х IBM выпустила компьютер AP-102. К 1992 году он стал самым популярным из процессоров авионики IBM: компания продала тысячу таких устройств. AP-102 стал технологическим шагом вперёд по сравнению с AP-101, потому что в нём использовались два чипа VLSI (Very Large Scale Integration) по 12 тысяч вентилей каждый: один чип реализовывал Instruction Processing Unit, а второй — Extended Arithmetic Unit (умножение и деление с фиксированной...
