Если мы хотябы немного похожи, то вы так же считаете свою физическую форму важным концептом вашей жизни. Это фундамент, на который накладывается все остальное, и он определяет, насколько устойчиво будет то, что на него нарастет.При этом совершенно естественно вы можете так считать, но ничего не делать или серьезно буксовать, находясь в форме далекой от идеала.В заголовке использовано слово «навсегда», учитывая, что у вас так же могли быть попытки, которые ретроспективно...

Все мы привыкли, что нейросети — это про креатив, быстрый поиск и «накидай мне презу на завтра», но что происходит, когда вы выводите LLM из зоны комфорта написания стишков, саммари и поздравлений для бухгалтерии, в зону ответственности, такую как анализ сложных документов, комплаенс, медицина, право, аудит или стратегическое планирование и финансы? Там начинается серая зона, где ИИ не просто ошибается, он совершает ложные декларирования исполнения. То есть говорит: «Я прочитал... Read more ›

Huawei's Watch Fit 5 Pro is officially global, and is priced at £250. The watch comes in Orange, White, and Black. In the box, you'll find the watch, a nice orange fabric strap (in our case), and the universal wireless charging puck (though one that sadly still ends on a USB-A port). The lineup's design is very similar to Apple's Watch and Watch Ultra, but this year we are starting... Read more ›

Энергоэффективность — единственная метрика, которая в долгом периоде определяет, заработает ли ваша майнинг-ферма деньги. Хешрейт можно нарастить, цена монеты не зависит от вас, а вот сколько джоулей уходит на терахеш — это то, на что вы реально влияете и что напрямую превращается в счёт за электричество.

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 ›

"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 ›

Amazon once tried to pressure Nintendo to break the law, says former Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aimé. At a recent NYU lecture, he describes a conversation with an Amazon executive, Kotaku reports: "Amazon was looking to get bigger into the video game space," said Fils-Aimé.

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.

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 ›
