AI is set to consume up to 600 billion gallons of water by 2030 — rising energy consumption primarily to blame as data center power demands rise

Direct cooling data center GPUs uses only a fraction of the water required to keep them running, and with plans for future GPUs and rack systems to be even more power hungry, this problem could make data centers even more of a resource hog.

Вот именно такой вопрос был задан в первом же комментарии к статье "DI-контейнер на чистом JavaScript без TypeScript и reflect-metadata" уважаемого @alexander_kubarski. Я когда-то и сам на Хабре отвечал на этот вопрос ("Зачем нужно внедрение зависимостей в JS"), и уважаемый @Wroud тоже ("Dependency Injection в JavaScript: зачем он вам нужен"), но непонимание места и значения DI у JS-разработчиков всё равно присутствует.

Поймали ИИ-агента на вранье — его же памятью

На днях наш агент собрался дежурно отчитаться об успехе. Прежде чем нажать «готово», он сверился с собственной памятью — и нашёл там запись из прошлой сессии: эту идею он уже проверял на реальных данных, и она провалилась. Он остановил сам себя, до ложного отчёта. Это не рекламная зарисовка, это лог из жизни. Ниже — два таких лога подряд, и во втором память заставила нас выбросить фичу, которой мы гордились. Хватай...

Weka, for one, believes... Read more

Firefox 153 Released

Longtime Slashdot reader williamyf writes: FireFox 153 was released today. The most important user-facing changes are improvements to PDF handling (you can now merge PDFs and add images to them), and HDR video playback (on Windows, provided HDR is active systemwide). Other under-the-hood changes include browser-wide containers and QWAC support. The full list is in the change notes. But the most important feature is that this version is an ESR... Read more
