Шалом, хатулим. Во все времена ученым приходится иметь дело с какой-то не слишком понятной херней, которую надо объяснить местным газетчикам в самых красивых терминах. В наши дни в этой роли выступает темная материя с подтанцовкой в виде упоротых квантовых теорий, но в период нового времени детекторов нейтрино не завезли и пришлось довольствоваться флюидами.

Москва, 22 декабря 1920 года. В городе перебои с хлебом и дровами, едва отгремела Гражданская. В выстуженном Большом театре – не опера: над сценой растянута огромная карта России, утыканная электрическими лампочками. Глеб Кржижановский, инженер и глава Государственной комиссии по электрификации, докладывает VIII Всероссийскому съезду Советов план ГОЭЛРО. Называет очередную будущую электростанцию – и на карте вспыхивает огонёк. По легенде, чтобы запитать эту иллюминацию, пришлось обесточить несколько московс Read more ›

Показываю, почему проблема не в «плохих» моделях, а в устройстве современных агентных. Read more ›
