Ars Technica shares some anecdotes from Steve Jobs in Exile, a new book released last month:
[Author Geoffrey] Cain reminds us, in stunning detail, that Jobs' "exile" era at NeXT was not only critical to his evolution as a man and an entrepreneur, but that it mattered for the rest of us, too. The technological innovations that came out of NeXT — notably, the NeXTSTEP OS — continue to live on in what we now call both macOS and iOS. As Cain puts it, "NeXTSTEP was Steve's attempt to make Unix taste sweet...."

В прошлом посте я предложил концепцию «Паспорта бана»: любая блокировка должна сопровождаться чёткими фактами, указанием причин и фиксацией ответственного лица.Мне возразили:«Без жёсткой модерации любой цифровой сад сгниёт. Пацифизм губит ухоженные пространства, сорняки нужно пропалывать без лишних разговоров» (мне ответили не именно так, но по тому с чем мне предложили ознакомиться я это так понял)Модерацию невозможно сделать правильно.

Просишь локальную модель оцифровать таблицу с картинки — а она часть чисел тихо выдумывает. Да так гладко, что беглым взглядом не заметишь. Большая Gemma на мыльном скрине сочинила целую строку зарплат, а крошечная GLM-OCR на 0.9B ту же строку прочитала верно. Собрал из двух моделей один пайплайн и разобрался, где кому верить.

Риэлтор за рулём. Звонит собственник трёшки на Соколе: “Видел ваше объявление, хочу обсудить продажу”. Двадцать минут живого разговора - район, перепланировка, срочность, вилка по цене. Разговор кончается, риэлтор едет на показ, к вечеру у него ещё пять звонков. Утром он помнит, что “был кто-то по трёшке”, но не помнит ни имени, ни цены, ни телефона. Лид потерян не потому, что плохо отработали, а потому, что между звонком и CRM стоит... Read more ›

Как же я люблю метонимичный технологический термин «задача cron». Несмотря на то, что реальным демоном, выполняющим задачи по расписанию, может являться совсем не cron, мы называем этим именем всё, что «ходит» как cron и «крякает» как cron. Как говорит Патрик Маккензи, задачи cron — это одни из самых полезных вычислительных примитивов. Их ценность легко демонстрируется множеством контекстов применения, с которыми сталкиваются почти все, кому требуется регулярно выполнять задачи, например, на... Read more ›

Я соло-фаундер и единственный разработчик нишевого B2B-продукта. Лендинги для него я переделывал не раз: новая гипотеза — новая посадочная, под кампанию — ещё одна, плюс блог. Каждый раз повторялась одна и та же возня: не забыть мета-теги и Open Graph, прикрутить аналитику, не сломать индексацию, выкатить, проверить. Claude Code заметно ускорял это, но каждый запуск был «с нуля» — качество зависело от того, насколько удачно я в этот раз сформулировал... 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." Essentially, what you do is download a zipped file, unzip it, change into the newly created directory, and run the executable. VirtualBox... Read more ›

"In the future, AI agents will be able to find one another using the Domain Name System (DNS), instead of crawling about and probing ports or checking configured resources," writes The Register.

"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). And "networks of green energy cables carrying electricity are also starting to sprawl across the world's seabeds." Now to protect them, the U.S., Australia and the U.K. "are planning to develop new unmanned... Read more ›
