Hello and welcome back to our regular feature where we write a little about the games we've been playing.

Как Япония попыталась в 1980-х создать компьютер пятого поколения и напугала Америку

В 1970-е годы Япония стала вторым по величине после Америки производителем автомобилей, обогнав по их экспорту ФРГ и став мировым лидером по этому показателю. Японские карманные калькуляторы успешно конкурировали с американскими и западноевропейскими, а две трети настольных калькуляторов в самих Штатах и вовсе были японскими. Тамошние электронные наручные часы фактически приговорили к смерти швейцарскую часовую промышленность. Каждый второй транзисторный приемник и магнитофон на мировом рынке был японским.. Read more

Apple Working To Cram Massive Gemini Model Into iPhone To Power New Siri

Apple is reportedly working to shrink Google's Gemini models enough to power parts of a long-delayed AI-enhanced Siri on iPhones.
