The Sony Bravia 9 II is the most anticipated new TV in years. It's an amazing RGB LED TV.

Physicists have longed for a theory of everything, a single framework that would explain every force in the universe. After the better part of a century, they’re still looking. But social science, improbably, may have beaten them to it. In 2021, three British writers — John Myers, Sam Bowman, and Ben Southwood — published an […] Read more ›

Данная статья является первой из цикла о социальном освобождении посредством искусственного интеллекта. В ней уделено внимание решению психофизиологической проблемы. То есть вопросу о том, каким образом материальные структуры могут порождать идеальные процессы. Или иначе — как нервно-мозговые процессы могут порождать субъективные переживания. В какой-то мере я уже освещал то, о чем в ней говорится в статье об эффективном методе социального освобождения и статье о нейропсихозе. Однако в них это решение... Read more ›

It's been a good few weeks for games on rails. Nintendo's Star Fox remake wisely kept the tightly scripted, action-packed levels from Star Fox 64 largely the same, and they're still fun to fly through nearly 20 years later. Denshattack!, a new game from Undercoders, similarly features levels packed with carefully orchestrated sequences to great […] Read more ›

The Democratic Party is at war with itself, and nowhere is the fight clearer than the Michigan Senate primary. On one side: Rep. Haley Stevens, backed by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and the establishment, who says the left is too untested and too extreme to win a general election. On the other: Dr. Abdul […] Read more ›

Для крупной федеральной компании из телеком-сектора наша команда разработала закрытую семейную платформу для сотрудников и их детей.

"Are you armed?!" the police officer screamed. "Get out of the car!"

In March, Anthropic's Claude "quietly deployed software to spy on China-based customers," reports the Washington Post — apparently to unmask Chinese rivals "suspected of hijacking its technology to make their own AI tools smarter." Last week Anthropic removed the spyware "after a software developer revealed its existence and privacy advocates criticized Anthropic, saying it had surveilled its own users." Anthropic's tracking code was designed in part to catch Chinese firms... Read more ›

"Flexible, app-based scheduling lets large pools of part-time workers choose four-hour shifts and even select the type of work they prefer," writes long-time Slashdot reader Tony Isaac. While the system started during the pandemic when factories faced severe labor shortages, the model is now "supplying hundreds of trained workers each week... while giving people — from retirees to sidejob hustlers to longtime employees — control over their hours." NPR says... Read more ›

Environmental groups want America's FCC "to slam the brakes on orbital datacenters," writes The Register. They're arguing for an environmental impact assessment for what could be 1 million satellites: Earthjustice, acting on behalf of DarkSky International, Environment America, and Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER), filed a petition this week...

For nearly two years the Free Software Foundation has been fighting web crawlers (including many aggressively scraping training data for AI models). A botnet controlling about five million IPs hit one system for six months in 2025. Their systems administrator wrote this week that they view these as distributed denial-of-service attacks. How are they fighting back? We noticed patterns in the scrapers that were abnormal, which gave us material for... Read more ›
