Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt Booed During Graduation Speech About AI

Today former Google CEO Eric Schmidt "was booed multiple times," reports NBC News, "while discussing AI during a commencement speech at the University of Arizona."

Schmidt had started by remembering how computer platforms "gave everyone a voice" but also "degraded the public square... They rewarded outrage. They amplified our worst instincts. They coarsen the way we speak to each other, and that way, and in the way that we treat each other, is in the essence of a society." But then Schmidt "drew a paralle

Новое в Pure.DI: union types, генерация интерфейсов и DI без аллокаций

Pure.DI — это генератор кода для внедрения зависимостей (Dependency Injection), который работает на этапе компиляции. Pure.DI развивает идею «чистого DI»: вместо контейнера и рефлексии вы получаете обычный C#‑код, который создаёт композиции объектов. В этой статье — новые возможности из релизов 2.3.5–2.5.1: от union types в роли DI‑контрактов до сценариев внедрения зависимостей без лишних аллокаций. Читать далее Read more

[Перевод] Иллюстрированный разбор одной пользовательской реализации malloc()

Программисты, работающие с языком C, несомненно, узнают стандартную функцию malloc(). Это главный аллокатор памяти в языке, который тесно связан со всем известными ошибками сегментирования. Функция malloc() – именно то средство, при помощи которого программы приобретают память во время выполнения. Зачастую она также превращается в основной инструмент создания объектов и управления ими. Учитывая такой центральный статус malloc(), удивлён, что большинство программистов обращаются с ней как с чёрным ящиком. Эт Read more

Аппендицит: иллюзия простого диагноза

Большинство уверены, что аппендицит - один из самых простых диагнозов в медицине: заболело справа - пора к хирургу. На практике все гораздо интереснее. В первые часы заболевание может маскироваться под гастрит, кишечную инфекцию или обычное пищевое отравление, а иногда боль и вовсе возникает не там, где её ждут. В статье разбираем, почему диагноз не всегда очевиден, действительно ли антибиотики могут заменить операцию и какие технологии сегодня стали золотым стандартом в... Read more

[Перевод] Инструкция по секвенированию собственной ДНК в домашних условиях

Я уже пять раз секвенировал свой геном с помощью портативного секвенатора MinION, разработанного Oxford Nanopore Technologies. Этот процесс включает взятие мазка, его подготовку, пропуск через секвенатор и последующий анализ. Для этой задачи хорошо подходит буккальный эпителий (клеточная ткань внутренней поверхности щёк) — он легко доступен и быстро восстанавливается. Однако эти ткани не подходят для диагностики рака, выявления воспалений или оценки экспрессии генов в других частях тела. Например, если у ва Read more
