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.

Critics warn the idea raises serious nonproliferation, security, cost, and technical concerns. The New York Times reports: The plan has generated debate and some unease among nonproliferation experts. If finalized, it would mark... Read more ›

The Democrats’ call for Americans to “protect democracy” from candidate Donald Trump fell flat in the 2024 presidential election. Over and over, President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris said that Trump and other Republicans represented an existential threat to the political system, calling out things like Project 2025 and the extreme anti-immigration aims […] Read more ›

Когда в 1956 г. отправился на своё первое задание американский самолёт-разведчик U-2, получение информации о стратегических объектах в странах ОВД и глубине СССР в значительной степени упростилось: на высоте в 20 - 21 км U-2 был недосягаем для советской ПВО и мог спокойно проводить фотосъёмку. Но в ЦРУ одновременно с осознанием невообразимых перспектив росло и понимание того, что это не может продолжаться вечно. Советские радары уже доставали U-2 на высоте... Read more ›

В предыдущей публикации я представил веб-инструмент для построения линий влияния в многопролётных шарнирных балках. Инструмент позволяет визуализировать линии влияния поперечных сил Q, изгибающих моментов M и реакций опор R, а также получать численные значения для любого заданного сечения.Теперь — следующий шаг.Я хочу поделиться идеей, как с помощью уже работающего инструмента автоматически строить эпюры Q и M для всей балки целиком. На данный момент это концепция и алгоритм, который я планирую... Read more ›

В шестой части мы разобрали логистическую регрессию и увидели, как линейная модель может разделять классы с помощью вероятностного подхода. В этой части поговорим о SVM — алгоритме, который ищет не просто разделяющую гиперплоскость, а оптимальную границу с максимальным зазором между классами. Если логистическая регрессия отвечала на вопрос "с какой вероятностью объект принадлежит классу?", то философия SVM звучит иначе "где провести наиболее устойчивую границу между классами?".

В конце мая 2026 рунет накрыло волной отказов MTProto-прокси — сервисы перестали работать почти у всех операторов одновременно. Технические каналы пестрят заголовками “обойти невозможно”. Разбираю это не как новость, а с инженерной стороны: что технически означает “DPI анализирует сигнатуры протокола”, почему Fake-TLS, работавший годами, внезапно перестал спасать, и какие фундаментальные свойства трафика выдают прокси даже при идеально зашифрованной нагрузке. Это разбор теории обнаружения протоколов, не рук Read more ›

История о том, как санкции против инфраструктуры не закрывают её — а запускают гонку. Читать далее Read more ›

Пятница, вечер. Один эндпоинт начал отвечать восемь секунд вместо двухсот миллисекунд, а в Grafana всё зелёное. PostgreSQL редко падает громко — он неделями копит мёртвые строки, лишние индексы и зависшие транзакции, пока не станет совсем плохо.В статье — пять SQL-запросов из моего queries.sql, которыми я реально пользуюсь: bloat и dead tuples, топ тяжёлых запросов по pg_stat_statements, неиспользуемые индексы, висящие транзакции и блокировки.
