На первый взгляд может показаться, что «5G в Африке три раза быстрее, чем в Британии» — это что-то из комиксов про Ваканду.

Тем не менее, африканским телекомам есть, чем удивить — ниже собрали несколько любопытных фактов о том, как обстоят дела в регионе, который готовится показать самые высокие темпы роста абонентов 5G в мире.

К концу второго месяца vibe coding на фронте моего пет-проекта жили пять компонентов кнопки, четыре спиннера, компонент страницы на 700 строк и шапка, которая показывала один баланс, пока модалка рядом показывала другой. LLM-агент писал всё это уверенно, быстро и с хорошим стилем кода. Фронтенд под LLM деградирует даже быстрее бэкенда — и тому есть причины: от качества обучающей выборки, где вперемешку лежат три поколения React, до самой природы JSX, где... Read more ›

CNBC reports: The automotive industry's increasing use of over-the-air technology to update vehicle systems makes it more susceptible to cyberattacks, analysts say, urging more intervention in the sector...

Однажды знойным летним вечером я оказался на лекции по искусственному интеллекту. Лектор - профессор СПбГУ - начал с краткого обзора истории этой науки с середины прошлого века и закончил красочным описанием тех чудес, которые нам (обязательно) принесут нейросети в будущем.Я большой нейроскептик: я был бы рад, если бы в один момент все ИИ-компании просто испарились, как не было их, и мы вернулись в эпоху мясных копирайтеров и недооплачиваемых стажёров. Однако,... Read more ›

Есть данные, которые вроде бы доступны, но программно их не взять. Они отображаются в браузере, их видно на графиках, по ним можно кликать мышкой. Но API для них либо не существует, либо он закрыт.Раньше это означало ручной анализ: открываешь плеер, смотришь, как пользователь скроллил страницу, на чем задерживался и где кликал. Триста посещений — триста раз открыть плеер. А если нужно проанализировать поведение за месяц с тысячами визитов, задача превращается... Read more ›

Microsoft released its 2026 Environmental Sustainability Report showing that last year it matched its entire electricity consumption with renewable energy, reports The Register. "The bad news is it also increased greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 25%" — mostly due to datacenter construction and a decision to stop purchasing some renewable energy certificates: In 2020, Microsoft set itself the goal of becoming "carbon-negative" by 2030. Its own figures show emissions heading... Read more ›

"While KDE and GNOME dominate the landscape, a relative newcomer is starting to make waves with features other desktops still don't fully support," argues XDA Developers: Linux 7.0 was the first release of the kernel to officially support Rust, but COSMIC has been all-in on Rust since the very beginning, and COSMIC 1.1 finally stripped all the leftovers of C language from the desktop. It no longer has any traces... Read more ›

The Wall Street Journal says "an intense 27-year-old activist who had been leading sit-ins at OpenAI to protest the dangers of AI" was just part of a larger movement. "The Bay Area's AI boom is drawing young disillusioned men and women to join the fight against it. They are upending their lives and leaving behind careers for think tanks, nonprofits and street protest groups." Their cause is now riding a... Read more ›

Linus Torvalds once said LLMs might bring a 10X increase to programmer productivity. But speaking at Open Source Summit India 2026, he now says that number was "not scientific," reports ZDNet. "That was pulled out of my ass number, obviously." Today, he continued, "we're at the point where hopefully it creates more productivity than it takes away," but "we certainly saw more junk being generated by LLMs than we saw... Read more ›

Which jobs are most threatened by AI? "Programmers, software engineers and other tech industry employees," goes one common answer. "But many economists are more concerned about a different, larger group of white-collar workers," reports the New York Times: customer service reps, bookkeepers, payroll clerks and HR specialists, "who fly under the radar but collectively account for tens of millions of jobs..." They are spread across the country and throughout the... Read more ›

Long-time Slashdot reader necro81 writes: There are several companies, such as Tesla, trying to make semi trucks fully electric. The capital cost for such a truck, and the MW-scale infrastructure to recharge it, may be a hard sell for some operators.
