fjo3 shares a report from The Guardian: Tests reveal that when people are ambling about, they have a natural tendency to turn to the left and walk in an anticlockwise direction. "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.
As with many critical discoveries in science, the revelation owes a debt

iOS 27 includes a rebuilt search architecture for Siri AI. As a result, iPhones running the iOS 27 beta go through a re-indexing process that can take many days to be completed, but iOS 26.6 should help to speed things up for users who skip the beta. iOS 26.6 "optimizes the Spotlight index to prepare for iOS 27," according to Apple's release notes for the update, which will likely be...

Docker — отличный инструмент, но «отличный» не значит «единственный» и тем более не значит, что он подходит для любой задачи. На одиночном сервере с одним-двумя приложениями Docker может принести больше проблем, чем пользы. Демон, образы, слои, сети и тома упрощают упаковку и запуск приложений, но на одиночке или небольшом VDS они избыточны. Под катом о том, в каких случаях Docker не нужОн, чем его заменить и как.

Когда проект становится большим и сложным, а количество задач растёт, одного агента уже недостаточно. Он переполняет контекст, забывает, что делал в начале, и начинает выдавать «почти правильный код».Чтобы такого не случалось, стоит задуматься о мультиагентной системе. Она состоит из нескольких агентов, каждый из которых отвечает за свой этап работы, а вместе они выстраиваются в конвейер.Архитектура мультиагентной системы следует тем же принципам, что и архитектура хорошей команды разработчиков.

I first slipped on Halliday's original smart glasses at CES 2025. I was not a fan. The glasses had a tiny, movable display window embedded into the frame that was incredibly finicky to see, and my 30-minute demo left me with achy eyeballs. It was an interesting concept with terrible execution, especially compared to the […] Read more ›

Nintendo does a lot of weird things, but Splatoon might just be one of the strangest - or at least the boldest.

IBM shares plunged after the company warned that Q2 revenue and earnings would miss expectations, blaming customers' sudden shift in spending toward AI hardware instead of software services. However, CEO Arvind Krishna did not place all the blame on IBM's customers. The CEO also said it "faltered" by failing to "anticipate the magnitude of the capex reprioritization."

OnePlus will reportedly announce this week that it is shutting down its brand in the U.S. and Europe, following months of signs that parent company Oppo was winding down the brand's global presence. India and China are reportedly unaffected, but it's unclear whether Oppo will replace the brand directly in those markets. The move also raises questions about future support for existing OnePlus users. 9to5Google reports: WinFuture reports that OnePlus... Read more ›

Today, the Linux Foundation launched the x402 Foundation to standardize internet-native payments for AI agents, APIs, and applications, based on Coinbase's contributed x402 protocol.

Instead, Meta used a constellation of internal artificial-intelligence systems -- including a system referred to internally... Read more ›
