Oak trees have a surprising trick to fight back against hungry caterpillars: they simply wait. When trees are heavily attacked one year, they delay leaf growth by just three days the next spring—long enough to leave newly hatched caterpillars with nothing to eat. This small shift slashes insect survival and reduces leaf damage by more than half, proving even more efficient than costly chemical defenses.

[Перевод] 9 AI-агентов делят одну API-квоту. Почему обычные ретраи только ломают систему

Первые 72 часа в роли CTO: не лезьте в код

Я прихожу в компании временным CTO — когда прежний ушёл, когда инженерка не вывозит или когда надо привести её в порядок перед раундом. И из раза в раз вижу одну и ту же историю: новый технический директор в первый же день ныряет в код, а через полгода уходит — без полномочий, без доверия, с выгоранием. Расскажу, что в первые три дня стоит делать вместо этого. Никакой теории из книжек по... Read more

Месяц с LLM Wiki Андрея Карпатого: главная сила LLM — не в пересказе, а в умении «связывать» знания

Читать статьи и веб-материалы через суммаризацию от LLM — это уже почти норма. Даже один только разбор общей картины плюс диалоговые вопросы заметно поднимают эффективность обучения.Но такой способ замыкается в одной сессии. А то, что по-настоящему определяет качество исследования и обучения, — это инсайты, рождающиеся из связей между материалами, прочитанными в разное время.Удерживать эти связи силами человека тяжело. У памяти есть предел: детали статьи, прочитанной полгода назад, забываются. Держать в... Read more

ИИ-агенты уже умеют писать письма, резюмировать встречи и искать ответы в базе знаний. Но в корпоративной среде этого мало.

What if our biggest idea about reality is built on a hidden misunderstanding? A new philosophical look at space-time challenges the popular view that the past, present, and future all exist together in a timeless "block universe." The argument suggests that physicists may be blurring the difference between things that exist and things that merely occur, creating deep confusion about what space-time actually is. Read more

Scientists have uncovered a key brain signal that helps us break old habits and adapt when circumstances suddenly change. By watching mice navigate a virtual maze, researchers found that disappointment—when an expected reward failed to appear—triggered a surge of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, making the animals more likely to try a new strategy. When acetylcholine was blocked, the mice became less flexible and were more likely to stick with outdated choices. Read more

The largest review ever conducted on opioids for acute pain found that these widely prescribed drugs often deliver only small, short-lived benefits. For many common conditions, including some surgeries and kidney stone pain, opioids performed no better than a placebo. Researchers also found higher rates of side effects and warned that dependence can begin after only a short period of use. Read more

Scientists have uncovered a hidden immune system "brake" that may help cancers avoid being destroyed.

A surprising study suggests that chemicals introduced to protect the ozone layer may have unintentionally created a growing global pollution problem. Researchers found that refrigerants and certain anesthetic gases have generated more than 335,000 tonnes of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), a highly persistent "forever chemical," that has been deposited across Earth's surface since 2000. The pollutant is now showing up everywhere from rainwater to remote Arctic ice, and scientists expect levels... Read more
