"The Associated Press is reporting on a new study in Nature Astronomy suggesting that a tiny, icy world beyond Pluto harbors a thin, delicate atmosphere that may have been created by volcanic eruptions or a comet strike," writes longtime Slashdot reader fahrbot-bot. From the report: Just 300 miles (500 kilometers) or so across, this mini Pluto is thought to be the solar system's smallest object yet with a clearly detected global atmosphere bound by gravity, said lead researcher Ko Arimatsu of the National A

Всем привет. Последние несколько месяцев (где-то с февраля-марта) мне пришлось активно взяться за разработку чатботов для MAX. Когда только пытался изучить в прошлом году эту тему, поиск материалов по этим вопросам дал несколько странные результаты: вроде что-то есть и описано, а бота создать «сейчас не получится, попробуйте позже». Эту проблему впоследствии частично решили, но актуальности материалам, на мой взгляд, не то что прибавилось, и тема скорее игнорируется. Поэтому для тех,... Read more ›

В шестидесятые годы прошлого века компьютеры общались с человеком преимущественно с помощью перфокарт и телетайпов, а результата выполнения программ иногда приходилось ждать часами.

A "growing wave" of Reddit's "promoted posts" are sending U.S. and European audiences to money-stealing scams that impersonate major news organizations including the BBC, the Financial Times, and The Guardian, according to new findings from Bitdefender Labs. "Domains are short-lived and rapidly rotated to evade detection," they write, noting that the impersonating sites apparently even use language "to falsely imply that the investment platform had been reviewed, approved, or vetted"...

Science magazine reports: For decades, string theory promised a "theory of everything" that described all particles and forces as tiny vibrating strings. Physicists hoped it could also solve one of the field's deepest problems: reconciling quantum mechanics with gravity. But as string theory grew increasingly elaborate — and experimentally unreachable — many physicists lost hope. Now, some researchers are revisiting the theory from first principles. In a paper in press... Read more ›

"Can a company take away something you've already paid for?" asks the BBC. "In the world of online video games, some already do." Publishers can decide to switch off a game's servers, often leaving it effectively unplayable.
