I’m 44 and I realized last Sunday that the reason I keep my phone face-down on the counter isn’t a habit, it’s that twenty years of being on-call for everyone trained my body to treat a screen-up phone as a job I haven’t clocked out of

Your Android Phone Now Detects Fake Calls Impersonating People

Being worried about a future filled with AI doesn’t mean you an alarmist. While AI certainly has its uses, it likely has as many or more downsides if we step back and look at the bigger picture of it all. One of those downsides would be ways for criminals or scam artists to use AI... Read the original post: Your Android Phone Now Detects Fake Calls Impersonating People Read more

Как сознание вернулось в науку и почему физика больше не может его игнорировать

Долгое время в фундаментальной науке существовало негласное правило: если вы хотите сохранить репутацию серьезного ученого, не говорите о сознании. На протяжении почти всего XX века исследование субъективного опыта считалось прерогативой философов, мистиков или, в лучшем случае, психоаналитиков. Физики, химики и биологи строили строгую, объективную картину мира, где были кварки, молекулы, клетки и тектонические плиты. Сознание в эту схему не помещалось, поэтому его просто вынесли за скобки, объявив чем-то в Read more

Три мажора, две ошибки: проектирование API приостановки для интерпретатора машины Тьюринга

За последние две недели я выкатил подряд четыре ломающих мажорных релиза @turing-machine-js/machine — v3, v4, v5, v6 — и самое интересное здесь было не в какой-то одной фиче. Интересно было смотреть, как один и тот же участок API (хук приостановки/брейкпоинта в управляющем цикле) переделывался дважды за три версии, и каждый раз потому, что в прошлый раз там выпирало то, что выпирать не должно.
