sciencehabit shares a report from Science Magazine: Cold War spies planted bugs in walls, lamps, and telephones. Now, scientists warn, the cables themselves could listen in. A fiber optic technique used to detect earthquakes can also pick up the faint vibrations of nearby speech, researchers reported this week here at the general assembly of the European Geosciences Union. Freely available artificial intelligence (AI) software turned the fiber optic data into intelligible, real-time transcripts. "Not many p

Недавно мне попался комментарий к этой статье, который задаёт правильный вопрос точнее многих академических работ по типологии. Его позиция такова: типологии — это инструменты, которые люди конструируют, чтобы договориться о единой системе координат. Их сходство не говорит о том, что они открывают одну реальность — оно говорит о том, что они решают одну задачу. И строить их, по его мнению, надо на объективном фундаменте — законах физики, конкретно термодинамики. Это... Read more ›

На этой фотографии 1936 года показаны пассажиры на станции Сентрал-Херши — одной из главных остановок электрической железной дороги Hershey на Кубе.Зачем производителю шоколада прокладывать железную дорогу? Для Милтона Херши это решение было логичным шагом в условиях дефицита сахара, возникшего из-за Первой мировой войны. В то время Hershey Chocolate Co. была крупным игроком на рынке шоколада; она усовершенствовала автоматизацию и массовое производство своей продукции, в том числе Hershey’s Milk Chocolate B Read more ›

Что такое робот, объяснять нет нужды. В последние сто лет, с момента появления в 1920 году самого слова «робот» в пьесе Карела Чапека «R.U.R.», пять поколений людей с раннего детства по книгам и комиксам, кинофильмам и мультфильмам знают о роботах все до мелочей. Знают, как они должны выглядеть – либо быть железными копиями человека, либо внешне не отличаться от нас, оставаясь из металла внутри, и знают, что они должны делать... Read more ›

Всем привет!

В физике элементарных частиц даже небольшие расхождения между теорией и экспериментом редко проходят незамеченными. Дело в том, что именно в таких деталях могут скрываться ошибки в расчетах или недоучтенные эффекты. Мюон стал одним из самых известных примеров подобной ситуации: его магнитные свойства на протяжении многих лет показывали небольшое, но устойчивое отклонение от предсказаний Стандартной модели. Это расхождение не выглядело случайным и постепенно привлекало к себе все больше внимания. Однако боле Read more ›

The labeled box of cards and photographs in the closet rarely tells the story people assume. It's not sentimentality — it's evidence-keeping, built by someone who learned early that affection could be revised, and the only way to be sure it had happened was to keep it somewhere it couldn't be taken back.

The once-a-year free comic book giveaway "is splitting in two," according to a local news report. Launched in 2002 by Diamond Comic Distributor, comic book giants like Marvel and DC have historically participated together. But things changed after Diamond Comic Distributors went bankrupt in 2025, "leaving other companies to swoop in and pick up where Diamond left off." The rights to the "Free Comic Book Day" brand were sold to... Read more ›

This week Bill Gates wrote a blog post about a special camera from medtech startup Remidio, which delivers high-resolution images of a patient's retina in seconds. The camera plugs into a phone running an AI system that watches for early signs of diabetes — all without needing a blood draw, eye dilation, or a dibetes specialist. It's already been used in 40 countries for more than 15 million patients. But... Read more ›

The new solution that Price got in response to a single prompt to GPT-5.4 Pro was posted on www.erdosproblems.com, a website devoted to the Erds problems. The question Price... Read more ›

"Running a Big Tech company during Silicon Valley's AI mania may not necessarily require fewer workers or cost less," writes the Washington Post: Amazon, Google and Meta together have roughly the same number of employees now as they did during an industry-wide hiring binge in 2022, company disclosures show. Growing costs for technical workers and related expenses have often outpaced sales recently. The tech giants' big AI bet hasn't yet... Read more ›

Monday a company called Rainmaker announced their rain-triggering technology had produced 143 million gallons of freshwater for Utah and Oregon residents — making them "the first private company in history to validate the results of cloud seeding operations."

However, Rainmaker — and every other rain-enhancement company —... Read more ›

"Nuclear AI startup" Fermi had hoped to build power plants generating 17 gigawatts of electricity, remembers Bloomberg, "three times the amount typically consumed by New York City." Hyperscalers could install their data centers on the site itself and tap directly into that power, which would come first from natural gas turbines and later from nuclear reactors. The pitch ticked so many boxes — artificial intelligence, nuclear energy, political connections —... Read more ›
