In a federal courtroom in California on Thursday, Elon Musk testified that his own AI startup, xAI, has used OpenAI's models to improve its own.

Почему я написал Paginator вместо Paging 3

Это статья от автора библиотеки, поэтому нейтральным разбор не будет. Но это и не рассказ про конкретный проект — а разбор задач, на которых, на мой взгляд, Paging 3 начинает буксовать, и того, как Paginator устроен, чтобы эти задачи закрывать. KMP-библиотека пагинации для Android, iOS, JVM и Desktop. Ниже — почему она появилась именно как отдельная библиотека, а не как fork или обёртка над Paging 3. Читать далее Read more

GEO, AIO, AEO: полевое руководство по оптимизации контента под LLM-поиск

TL;DR: Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) — это новая дисциплина, выросшая из SEO по мере того, как ChatGPT Search, Perplexity и Google AI Overviews начали отвечать на запросы пользователей напрямую, минуя традиционную выдачу. Сайты теряют 20–40% органики, но появляется новый вид трафика — AI-referral. Ключевое отличие GEO от SEO: LLM оптимизируется не под ключевые слова, а под семантическую ясность, авторитет источника и структурную извлекаемость контента. В статье — механика RAG-поиска, конкретные... Read more

Dreame talks about its smartphones again without revealing any specs

As Dreame is headed towards an IPO, most likely in the US, aiming to raise tons of money, the company has recently 'diversified' its range of products to make itself more interesting to investors. We say 'diversified' quote-unquote because vaguely talking about things doesn't really count as launching them. Case in point: the smartphones. These were first talked about in China in February, then the company upped the ante by... Read more

Nobody talks about the specific kind of invisibility childless people feel in their sixties, and it’s not about missing grandkids, it’s that the social world reorganizes itself around family milestones, and people without that timeline slowly stop being included in the calendar

When his sixty-three-year-old friend mentioned he hadn't been invited to a barbecue in six months, it revealed a truth about aging that no one discusses: how the childless gradually vanish from social calendars as their peers' lives reorganize entirely around grandchildren. Read more
