Meta Layoffs Stress Harsh AI Reality Inside Zuckerberg's Company

Meta is expected to begin cutting about 8,000 jobs this week as it pours more money into AI infrastructure and looks to "offset" other investments, with additional layoffs reportedly possible later this year. According to CNBC, the morale has worsened inside the company. "Internally, there's an emerging sense of dread across wide swaths of the company," the report says, citing current and former Meta employees. "That's in part because more cuts are expected this year, including a potential round of layoffs.

People who find it physically uncomfortable to look someone in the eye during a compliment aren’t insecure or evasive — they’re often the ones who take in emotional information so directly that full eye contact during something kind becomes almost too much to hold

The last time I paid someone a proper compliment, they looked at the floor like I’d dropped a twenty and were deciding whether to tell me. Not a “nice jacket.” The kind that names something true about who a person actually is. For years I read that gesture the lazy way. Shy. Awkward. Can’t take ... Read more Read more

Harness кодинг‑агента: разобрал исходники Codex, OpenCode, Pi и свою собственную

Я собираю своего кодинг‑агента поверх моделей OpenAI. Базовый агентный цикл написал сам на Pydantic AI, и он быстро заработал. А потом начались сложные узлы: как сжимать распухший контекст, как не дать агенту делать заново уже сделанное, как понять, что он правда закончил, а не выдохся. На каждом таком узле я застревал и шёл смотреть, как это решают взрослые. Благо исходники Codex, OpenCode и Pi лежат открыто, а архитектуру Claude Code... Read more

vLLM vs LMDeploy vs Triton: обзор бэкендов для инференса LLM

Лучший способ сжечь бюджет компании на инфраструктуру — запуск LLM в продакшене. Но только если вы не знаете, какой бэкенд использовать и как его настраивать.Проблема в том, что параметры современных нейросетей растут по экспоненте, а обрабатываемый контекст становится все длиннее. Из-за этого операционные расходы на генерацию текста превращаются в главный барьер для масштабирования сервисов.

J-space на микромоделях. Новая интерпретация открытия Anthropic

В предыдущей статье я разобрал почему теория Льва Выготского лучше интерпретирует полученные исследователями результаты. В этой статье я на основании экспериментов покажу, что аналоги j-space не зависят от размера нейросети, а являются неизбежным этапом эволюции когнитивной структуры, развивающейся под давлением.

Время течет назад, а у Вселенной три временных измерения?

Стрелка часов выглядит самым надежным элементом физической реальности. Секунды сменяют друг друга строго вперед, прошлое закрыто, будущее неизвестно. Но стоит обратиться к уравнениям микромира, как эта уверенность рассыпается.Базовые законы Вселенной — от механики Ньютона до квантовой теории поля — обладают T-симметрией. Математически они инвариантны относительно обращения времени. Если заменить переменную t на −t, формулы продолжат работать корректно. В микромире нет разницы между прошлым и будущим.
