Most Swiss Back Initiative To Cap Population At 10 Million

A new poll shows a slim majority of Swiss voters now support a June 14 referendum to cap the country's population at 10 million by 2050. Under the proposal backed by the right-wing Swiss People's Party (SVP), "the permanent resident population must not exceed 10 million before 2050, and Switzerland should abandon its freedom of movement agreement with the EU," reports Reuters.

Как генеративный ИИ меняет привычку думать самостоятельно

Вы открываете ChatGPT, чтобы быстро проверить одну идею. Через полчаса закрываете вкладку с ощущением, что разобрались в новой теме. Удобно, правда? И гораздо быстрее, чем в эпоху «до ИИ», когда приходилось самостоятельно прочесывать теории и оценивать реалистичность каждой из них... Так мы все чаще отдаем ИИ процесс рассуждений. Но что при этом происходит с нашим критическим мышлением?Недавно вышло большое исследование, посвященное когнитивной устойчивости (cognitive resilience) общества в эпоху генеративн Read more

Корпоративный ИИ‑поиск: почему пользователю важен диалог, а не разовый ответ

38 рабочих часов в месяц тратит один сотрудник на поиск информации и контекста по задачам, сообщают исследования. Стандартный поиск по ключевым словам выдает набор ссылок, которые пользователь фильтрует вручную. Поэтому много времени уходит на то, чтобы добраться до знаний компании. ИИ может изменить ситуацию, но просто спросить у ChatGPT — еще не выход. Разберем, где искать решение.  Читать далее Read more

Мы младше YCLIENTS на десять лет. Честно сравнил нас с ним, DIKIDI и Арникой — и вот где мы проигрываем

Когда запускаешь продукт на рынке, где уже есть лидер с долей в районе 60–80% (смотря как считать), первое искушение — написать на лендинге «мы лучше всех» и перечислить галочки. Я так делать не стану. Во‑первых, это неправда.

Почему умирают торговые роботы: дрейф рынка, переобучение и охота на альфу

Рано или поздно, в жизни каждого алготрейдера, особенно начинающего, случается типичная ситуация: стратегии/модели/алгоритмы, которые на бэктесте показывали хорошие результаты и, возможно, даже работали на реальном рынке, внезапно начинают сливать. График, чисто визуально, не меняется — нет волатильности от новостей, обвала или, наоборот, резких скачков. На это есть несколько причин!

Silent Hill: Townfall promises to "massively subvert" your expectations, and it's left me painfully excited

There's a peculiar type of stomach pain I get when I care, arguably too much, about a highly-anticipated game. The instinct is to set your expectations low – like, core-of-the-earth low – so whatever comes can't disappoint. A bit like turning up on a blind date and feeling relieved they can use a knife and fork even though they spend the next ninety minutes talking about their mum. Read more Read more
