A four-foot humanoid robot named Gabi has become a monk at a Buddhist temple in Seoul, participating in a modified initiation ceremony where it pledged to respect life, obey humans, act peacefully toward other robots and objects. "Robots are destined to collaborate with humans in every field in the future," Hong Min-suk, a manager at the Jogye Order, the largest sect of Buddhism in South Korea, tells the New York Times. "It will only be natural for them to be part of our festival." Smithsonian Magazine repo

In President Joe Biden’s […] Read more ›

When someone says it's fine and it clearly isn't, they're not lying. They're running an old cost-benefit calculation about honesty that was accurate in a different relationship, in a different decade, and has never been updated. Read more ›

Flappy Bird сделал один человек за пару дней. Vampire Survivors — за несколько месяцев в свободное время. Among Us начиналась как локальная вечеринка без единого сервера. Все эти игры объединяет одно: они нашли минимальную механику увлечения раньше, чем погрязли в сложности.Почему же тысячи разработчиков годами пилят идеальную игру и проваливаются? Потому что сложность разработки растёт экспоненциально, а вовлечённость игрока - логарифмически. В статье - шкала от текстового прототипа до AAA,... Read more ›

![[Перевод] Как учёные пытаются уточнить значение гравитационной постоянной — «большой G»](https://times42.com/media/2/6/4/12402264_640x200.jpg "[Перевод] Как учёные пытаются уточнить значение гравитационной постоянной — «большой G»")
Гравитационная постоянная, которую ласково называют «большой G», — одна из самых фундаментальных констант нашей Вселенной. Её значение описывает силу гравитационного притяжения между двумя массами на заданном расстоянии — или, с точки зрения общей теории относительности, степень искривления пространства-времени данной массой. Физики имеют достаточно точную приблизительную оценку G, но уже более двух столетий пытаются измерить её ещё точнее — и каждая новая попытка даёт слегка отличающиеся значения. Причём д Read more ›

Всем привет!Не знаю, как вы, а я всегда жду новых обновлений Bot API от Telegram. Мне любопытно, что же такого нестандартного нам подкинут в этот раз. Иногда они радуют, как в случае с недавним добавлением цветных кнопок, а иногда откровенно расстраивают, когда весь апдейт сосредоточен на мишуре вроде подарков. Однако обновление, которое выкатили разработчики на этот раз, оказалось поистине неожиданным.Вчера был представлен релиз Bot API 10.0, который вносит, я бы... Read more ›

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 ›

"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 ›

"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 ›
