Cisco has released an open-source tool "to trace the origins of AI models," reports SC World, "and compare model similarities for great visibility into the AI supply chain."
[Cisco's Model Provenance Kit] is a Python toolkit and command-line interface (CLI) that looks at signals such as metadata and weights to create a "fingerprint" for AI models that can then be compared to other model fingerprints to determine potential shared origins. "Think of Model Provenance Kit as a DNA test for AI models," Cisco.

"Plant seeds can sense the vibrations generated by falling raindrops," reports ScienceAlert, "and respond by waking from their state of dormancy to welcome the water, new research shows.... to germinate in 'anticipation' of the coming deluge." The finding, discovered by MIT mechanical engineers Nicholas Makris and Cadine Navarro, offers the first direct evidence that seeds and seedlings can sense and respond to sounds in nature...

Прототип сайта на Тильде нельзя рассматривать только как черновик будущего дизайна. Тильду часто воспринимают как инструмент, где можно быстро собрать сайт из готовых блоков. Это правда, когда структура заранее ложится на логику платформы. Но если сначала нарисовать свободный макет, а потом пытаться перенести его в конструктор без учета стандартных блоков, Зеро-блока, адаптива, форм, SEO-структуры и будущего редактирования, скорость быстро исчезает.

Если вы хоть раз просили Claude Code, Cursor или Codex сделать интерфейс — то знаете эту проблему. Код модель пишет неплохо, но визуально результат выглядит как “сайт, сгенерированный AI”. Одинаковые карточки, одинаковые градиенты, одинаковый набор паттернов из топа поиска. Несколько недель назад вышел LazyWeb — MCP-сервер, который даёт агенту 257k экранов реальных приложений как визуальный контекст. Установил, прогнал на pricing-странице для своего пет-проекта, разбираю, что получилось. Читать далее Read more ›

Началось все с того, что однажды я задумался над последним вопросом заголовка: почему генеративным нейросетям не позволено воспроизводить обнаженное человеческое тело? Ну, понятно, что цензура, и понятно, что в открытом доступе лежит куча моделей, которые развращай обучай как хочешь. Но откуда взялось само убеждение, что человеческое тело не может быть воспроизведено во всем своем великолепии? Почему его можно показывать в музее и спальне, например, а urbi et orbi друзьям и...

"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." The Deseret News reports: Founded in 2023, Rainmaker uses drones to disperse silver iodide into clouds, then they track precipitation with advanced radar. 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 ›

Long-time Slashdot reader Anne Thwacks frequently uses YouTube's subtitles "not to disturb others in the room, or because my hearing is not very good." But they say there's a new problem. "The subtitling is terrible!" Almost every sentence has a huge error. Proper names are more often wrong than right. Non-English place names are almost always mangled to barely recognizable. And no effort whatsoever is made to use context to... Read more ›

The technology works by targeting oxygen molecules using low-frequency sound waves that vibrate them, stopping the fire from growing. "Sound... Read more ›

"The war in Iran has sent oil-starved countries scrambling for fuel," CNN reported this week. And many of those countries now want renewable fuels, the article points out, "leaving them turning to the renewables king of the planet: China."

In 2016 an online "swarm intelligence" platform generated a correct prediction for the Kentucky Derby — naming all four top finishers in order. (But its 2017 predictions weren't even close.) Slashdot checked in again on how modern AI systems performed in 2023, 2024, and 2025 — but their predictions were still pretty bad. Would AI-generated Derby predictions be any better in 2026? This year's winner was 24-to-1 longshot "Golden Tempo"... Read more ›

An official in South Africa withdrew a draft of the country's national AI policy, reports a local newspaper, "after it was found the draft policy was compiled using AI, which cited academic articles that were 'fictitious'."
