"If you simply ask someone to start walking, whether they are wandering around a museum, a supermarket, or even an empty room, it is surprisingly likely that they will drift counterclockwise," said Dr Inaki Echeverria Huarte at University of Navarra in Spain.

В прошлой статье мы устанавливали OpenClaw на VPS, но есть ещё один интересный агент. Это Hermes от компании Nous Research.Главный недостаток OpenClaw по сравнению с Hermes — он по сути статичный: вы даёте команду, он выполняет — и всё. Каждый навык нужно устанавливать вручную, каждый сценарий прописывать заново. Hermes подходит иначе. Он не просто следует инструкциям, а запоминает удачные решения, автоматически превращает их в новые навыки и становится умнее с... Read more ›

As temperatures blew past 100°F in cities across Europe last week, it was difficult to tell what was generating more hot air: the weather or the discourse around the right way to endure it.

But that does not appear to be the case with Lanmaoa asiatica, known locally as jian shou qing, a mushroom species sold in markets in Yunnan, southwestern China. When eaten undercooked, the mushroom can produce vivid visions of miniature people --... Read more ›

So I went digging through archive.org, old backups, and a box of ZIP disks, and wrote... Read more ›

According to Dr Henry Legg, a lecturer at the University of St Andrews, the claims were undermined by omitted data, selective plotting, and basic Python errors that concealed alternative results. Microsoft, for... Read more ›
