The $19B "Nuclear AI" Energy Startup That Couldn't Sign a Single Client

"Nuclear AI startup" Fermi had hoped to build power plants generating 17 gigawatts of electricity, remembers Bloomberg, "three times the amount typically consumed by New York City."

Hyperscalers could install their data centers on the site itself and tap directly into that power, which would come first from natural gas turbines and later from nuclear reactors. The pitch ticked so many boxes — artificial intelligence, nuclear energy, political connections — that some investors found it irresistible. Fermi w

От пламени прошлого — до сверхсовременных дальнобойных фонарей: история света, часть-1

Наверное, с самого начала человеческой истории, люди осознали, что «свет — это хорошо, а тьма — таит в себе опасность»: охотники знают, что, кажущийся таким тихим и безжизненным лес, в тёмное время суток превращается в самое настоящее густонаселённое место — множество обитателей фауны выходят по своим делам и лес наполняется необычными звуками и неожиданными (не всегда приятными) встречами, избежать которых (или специально искать их, в зависимости от того, «на какой...

Опенсорсим YaGS Plugin: открытый плагин для работы с 3DGS внутри Unreal Engine

Представьте, что вам нужна фотореалистичная 3D‑копия реального объекта или сцены: например, лица актёра для крупного плана или целой городской улицы. Сегодня для этого есть два инструмента: классическое 3D‑моделирование и фотограмметрия. Однако они съедают недели работы и ломаются там, где очень важны детали, — волосы, хром, стекло, отражения превращаются в артефакты. А на то, чтобы снять реалистичную сцену или объект так, чтобы это масштабировалось на тысячи единиц, обычно уходит слишком много... Read more

10–15 багов в месяц превратились в 200–300 — а кому их фиксить?
