Геометрическая динамика: пространство ускорений как решение задачи трех тел

Мы привыкли, что задача трех тел — это символ хаоса, проклятие небесной механики, над которой Пуанкаре махнул рукой в 1890-м. Ньютон не решил, Лагранж только частные случаи нашел, а мы решили — и никаких суперкомпьютеров NASA нам не понадобилось. Как? Мы перестали искать формулу и построили пространство G3D. В этом пространстве три звезды летят по прямым линиям, а то, что мы видим на небе (восьмерки, треугольники, бабочки и хаос) —... Read more

Facial Recognition in UK Shops Will Soon Instantly Alert Police About Offenders

Facial recognition technology in U.K. shops "will soon alert police in real time to the presence of serious offenders," reports The Guardian, "with civil liberties groups warning of a 'dangerous escalation' towards surveillance and criminalisation in the retail sector." Facewatch, a facial recognition system used by more than 100 businesses including Sainsbury's, B&M and Spar to monitor thieves, said it was launching a UK-first feature to "alert police instantly when...

Ностальгические игры: Will Rock

В былую геймерскую эпоху шутеры ещё не стеснялись быть просто шутерами: без длинных диалогов, моральных выборов и попыток доказать, что их сюжет — это глубокое авторское высказывание. Приходя домой и запуская любимый «шутан», ты обычно прекрасно понимал, что получишь в итоге: минимум лишней информации, максимум бодрого экшена и отдых под расстрел полчищ врагов.В 2001 году вышел Serious Sam, который наглядно показал, как нужно делать максимально массовые, построенные на бесконечном, безостановочном...

200 рублей, ESP12 и полная потеря самоконтроля: хроники одной вентиляции

ESP01 и ESP12 кажутся идеальными кирпичиками для самодельной автоматизации: стоят копейки, занимают минимум места, умеют Wi‑Fi и позволяют собрать полезное устройство буквально из нескольких модулей. Но стоит перейти от макетной платы к реальному корпусу, питанию, реле, датчикам и установке «на место», как начинается настоящая инженерная проза: пины внезапно мешают загрузке, реле щёлкает не тогда, питание проседает, корпус не герметичен, а вентилятор оказывается умнее, чем хотелось бы.В этой статье я собрал Read more

Четыре истории внедрения ИИ в бизнесе: агент для заявок, RAG по документам и проверка сметы нейросетями

За практику ко мне заходят с одной и той же фразой: «хотим внедрить ИИ». А дальше выясняется, что под этим скрываются совершенно разные по масштабу задачи. Кому-то нужен агент, который годами живёт на сервере компании и разбирает входящие заявки. Кому-то — разовый прогон одного документа через связку нейросетей перед тем, как подписать акт. А кому-то автоматизация вообще без надобности — важнее, чтобы команда сама умела ставить задачи агенту и проверять... Read more

Кризис найма (как в IT) журналисты прошли ещё в 2013. Как у них получилось выйти?

К 2013 году американская журналистика пять лет как падала в яму. Кризис 2008-го обрушил рекламную модель прессы; газетные ньюсрумы США за следующее десятилетие потеряли больше половины сотрудников — десятки тысяч профессионалов с опытом, связями и портфолио оказались на улице (ничего не напоминает?). Куда идёт уволенный журналист? Во фриланс — больше некуда. Одновременно университетские программы научной журналистики (MIT, Нью-Йоркский, Санта-Круз) продолжали исправно выпускать молодых, потому что профессия Read more

A 2025 MIT report estimated that roughly 95% of task-specific enterprise generative-AI initiatives had yet to produce measurable business returns. The researchers argued that the main obstacle was not the underlying models, but tools that failed to learn from feedback, fit existing workflows or solve clearly defined operational problems.

The useful reading of the MIT finding is not that generative AI has failed. It is that enterprise AI has run into the same old enterprise problem: a tool that does not fit the work is not made valuable by being technically impressive. The report in question has been widely identified as MIT NANDA’s The ... Read more Read more

At this year’s Milken Institute Global Conference, the discussions around enterprise AI had shifted. The question among executives was no longer if AI would pay off, but how. Many talked less about proving ROI and more about positioning their companies to capture it. That tension—between AI’s capabilities and organizations’ capacity to keep up—was evident everywhere, from panel discussions to a private dinner co-hosted by Aily Labs founder and CEO Bianca...
