An anonymous reader quotes a report from 404 Media: Skyrocketing hard drive and storage costs caused by the AI data center boom are making it more expensive and more difficult for digital archivists, academics, Wikipedia, and hobby data hoarders to save data and archive the internet. Specific drives favored by some high profile organizations like the Internet Archive have become far more expensive or are difficult to find at all, archivists said. Over the last several months, prices for both consumer level.

Куда податься если 6 стало 9? "Чёрный слон" уничтожит многих, кто любит свою профессию, кто вникал ещё с детских кружков по информатике. И уничтожит не от того, что, как многие говорят "ИИ делает работу лучше", а просто из-за того, что мнение "массы" взяло верх, и нормальному человеку с этой глупостью невозможно смириться. Планомерное ли это уничтожение или ошибка в управлении, я не знаю. Может быть это первый акт мелодраммы о... Read more ›

В течение последних десятилетий технический прогресс по большей части заключался в нахождении новых сфер применения полупроводников и разработке методов для их производства. Микросхемы теперь есть почти в любом автомобиле, воздушном судне или бытовом приборе. Светодиоды уверенно заменяют более старые и менее эффективные способы генерации света (вроде ламп накаливания). Солнечные панели стали самым быстро развёртываемым источником энергии в истории. Разработка полупроводниковых лазеров дала нам оптико-волоко Read more ›

Ранее на Хабре я несколько раз затрагивал тему скрытой массы Вселенной. Скрытая масса также известна под названием «тёмная материя»; этот термин (dunkle Materie) предложил в 1933 году швейцарский астрофизик Фриц Цвикки. Из наиболее экзотических гипотез, потенциально объясняющих тёмную материю, я успел рассмотреть теорию симметронов, которую сформулировали в 2022 году Аниш Найк и Клэр Бэррейдж. Также я описывал модель, согласно которой избыточная масса может объясняться вращением Вселенной. На мой взгляд, од Read more ›

Чем сильнее государство борется с разного рода анонимностью и «серыми зонами», которые пока остаются во многом недоступны для ока государственного надзора, тем отчаяннее люди пытаются получить для себя хотя бы немного приватности в финансовом плане и в жизни в целом. Но сделать это сейчас крайне непросто, учитывая тот напор, с которым нам пытаются навязать абсолютно подконтрольные сервисы вроде мессенджера «Макс». К тому же, в скором времени полномочия ФНС будут существенно... Read more ›

"Ransomware activity jumped again in Q1 2026," writes Slashdot reader BrianFagioli, "with 2,638 victim posts on leak sites, up 22% year over year," according to a report from cybersecurity company ReliaQuest. But the bigger shift is how messy the ecosystem has become. Established groups like Akira and Qilin are still active, while newer players like The Gentlemen surged into the top tier with a 588 percent spike in activity. At... Read more ›

The Wall Street Journal reports that OpenAI "recently gave its popular ChatGPT strict instructions. Stop talking about goblins." Recent models of the artificial-intelligence chatbot have been bringing up the creatures in conversations with users seemingly out of the blue, as well as gremlins, trolls and ogres. The goblin-speak caught the attention of programmers, who are often heavy users of the bot. Barron Roth, a 32-year-old product manager at a tech... Read more ›

A startup south of Austin is using robots to build homes out of clay pulled directly from the ground, reports a local news station: The materials are gathered on site, mixed, and placed on a build plate. From there, a robot lowers from above, picks up the clay with a claw, carries it to the wall and drops it into place. Later, the same robot switches tools, using a hammer... Read more ›

A new meta-analysis found nutrients in food decreased over the last 40 years, reports the Washington Post. "Many of humanity's most important crops — including wheat, potatoes, beans — contain fewer vitamins and minerals than they did a generation ago."

Surging concentrations of carbon in the atmosphere, caused largely by burning fossil fuels, have produced potent changes in the way... Read more ›
