В процессе изучения возможностей использования геометрической алгебры в физике нашёл интересный изоморфизм между алгеброй четырёхмерного евклидова пространства и алгеброй времени-пространства. Переписал уравнения Максвелла в “плоском” виде. Получилась любопытная картина - каждому закону соответствует свой грейд алгебры: (0) скалярный уровень - закон Гаусса для электрического поля, (1) векторы - закон Ампера-Максвелла, (2) бивекторы - закон Фарадея, (3) тривекторы - отсутствие магнитных зарядов.

Когда речь заходит о продуктивности, то лет 10 назад широко ходил миф про многозадачность. Да чего греха таить, я сам оборудовал рабочее место 4-мя мониторами и еще дополнительно ставил ноут, поддерживая «иллюзию значимости дел». Но это не многозадачность. Новое исследование посвящено способности человеческого мозга к истинной многозадачности. Мозг физически перестраивает свою архитектуру на основе длительного опыта, благодаря чему распараллеливает усвоенные задачи. Познать мультизадачность Read more ›

Predictably, the €100 price hike on the Xiaomi 17T series upset many voters in last week’s poll. However, Xiaomi did make some good choices too. The Xiaomi 17T is smaller than its predecessor and its Pro sibling – it has a 6.59” display versus 6.83” on the 15T and 17T Pro. Barely anyone complained about the smaller size, so, well done Xiaomi. The big battery (6,500mAh) inside the phone certainly... Read more ›

You can try 570 extinct operating systems at a new "virtual museum," according to a new article by ZDNet. Their reporter downloaded the ancient OS NeXTStep, and was "shocked" by how easy it was to run it, "and by the sheer number of operating systems to choose from."

"Around 570 cables (plus a further 80 planned) carry between 95% and 99% of the world's intercontinental telecommunications data," reports CNN (since fiber cables offer speeds of terabits per second, carry much more data than satellite links).

Now to protect them, the U.S., Australia and the U.K. "are planning to develop new unmanned... Read more ›
