How Microplastics Are Likely Helping To Heat Up the Planet

A new Nature Climate Change study suggests airborne microplastics -- especially darker and colored particles -- are likely contributing to atmospheric warming by absorbing more heat than they reflect. Researchers estimate the effect could be roughly one-sixth that of black carbon, though outside experts say the uncertainties remain large and more study is needed before drawing firm policy conclusions. "We can say with confidence that overall they are warming agents," said Drew Shindell, a Duke University ea

In the first encyclical of his papacy, titled Magnifica humanitas (Latin for “magnificent humanity”), Pope Leo XIV argued that AI is not intrinsically immoral, but […] Read more

Как 100+ авторов пишут 100+ процессов в 3 версиях и не путаются. Или как мы переехали с Wiki на Git

У нас было 120 процессов, 9 областей управления, более 100 авторов из 60 компаний, 3 ветки на каждый репозиторий и ещё по одной на каждую задачу, AI-агент, таск-трекер, толстый клиент редактора и три портала документации. Не то чтобы всё это нам было нужно, чтобы описать методологию управления в ИТ. Но когда однажды начинаешь собирать серьёзную базу знаний — возникает тенденция разогнаться так далеко, как только сможешь.Единственное, что меня по-настоящему беспокоило... Read more

Прошла 22 конференция AnalystDays. Я хочу с удовлетворением отменить, что организаторам удалось собрать вау-программу с замечательными выступлениями. Во всяком случае, такими оказались многие из выступлений, которые я слушал. При этом у меня не получилось попасть на мастер-классы Димы Безуглого, Анны Обуховой, которых я знаю как крутых спикеров, и, наверняка были другие качественные выступления, на которые я не попал.

VSCode как IDE для embedded разработки

Моделирование широкополосной антенны с двойной круговой поляризацией и высокой изоляцией

Об антеннах круговой поляризацииАнтенны с круговой поляризацией занимают особое место в современных системах беспроводной связи. В отличие от линейно поляризованных систем, круговая поляризация обеспечивает устойчивый приём сигнала вне зависимости от взаимной ориентации антенн, что критически важно в условиях подвижных платформ - спутников, БПЛА, мобильных наземных комплексов и носимого оборудования.Особый интерес представляют антенны с двойной круговой поляризацией - то есть одновременно поддерживающие пра Read more

Ваше прошлое физически существует прямо сейчас. И вы заморожены там навсегда

Я несколько лет работал аниматором — делал VFX-эффекты: взрывы, пыль, разлёт частиц. Весь день я работал с таймлайном. Перемещался по нему туда-сюда, разворачивал камеру в 3D-пространстве под любым углом, возвращался в прошлое сцены одним кликом.Я подумал, что начать эту статью я хочу с именно такой аналогией: сцена всегда существовала целиком — каждый кадр, каждый момент взрыва, каждая пылинка. Я просто перемещал ползунок и смотрел на разные моменты. Прошлое сцены не... Read more

В конце прошлого года мы (в значении MWS AI) выпустили собственную платформу для сборки ИИ-агентов — MWS AI Agents Platform. Платформа избавляет от необходимости разбираться в программировании — можно собирать нужного бота, ИИ-агента или мультиагентную систему, просто перетаскивая блоки в визуальном конструкторе.

Вайбкодинг спас меня от подрядчиков. А потом я поняла, что сама стала подрядчиком для своих агентов

На одной из встреч с агентством-подрядчиком мы обсуждали Telegram-бота для транскрибации видео. Отправляешь файл, бот обрабатывает его, возвращает подробную расшифровку и саммари.
