On September 9, 1947, Grace Hopper’s team at Harvard pulled a dead moth out of the Mark II computer’s relay, taped it into the logbook with the note ‘first actual case of bug being found,’ and preserved the page that gave software its oldest metaphor

On September 9, 1947, engineers at Harvard's Computation Laboratory pulled a moth from Relay 70 of the Mark II computer and taped it into the logbook. The word 'bug' was already 70 years old — and that's exactly why the joke worked.

EventRAG: как научить RAG искать первопричину во времени, а не в тексте

Завод теряет деньги не в момент поломки, а пока инженер ищет ответ на вопрос «почему». Заменить подшипник — полчаса; понять, что подшипник убила заявка на ТО, отложенная два месяца назад, — часы, и именно эти часы стоят дороже всего. По данным Siemens, незапланированный простой обходится 500 крупнейшим компаниям мира в $1,4 трлн в год, а средний крупный завод теряет 27 часов в месяц.Казалось бы, вот задача для корпоративного RAG-ассистента. Но... Read more

Как сделать технические интервью предсказуемее: опыт внутренней школы Островка

Техническое интервью — один из самых неоднозначных этапов инженерного найма. От него ждут точной оценки навыков, но часто всё упирается в опыт конкретного интервьюера: какие вопросы он задаёт, как трактует ответы, где проводит границу между грейдами и как потом формулирует фидбек.Для кандидата это один этап. Для компании — процесс, который может меняться от встречи к встрече.Летом 2024 года мы в Островке увидели это на практике: внутри одного направления технические интервью... Read more

ASML in Veldhoven ships each EUV lithography machine in roughly 250 crates aboard multiple Boeing 747s, the mirrors inside are polished so finely that scaled to the size of Germany the largest bump would be under a millimetre tall, and every advanced chip in every iPhone on Earth passes through one of these machines before it reaches a pocket

ASML insists it can account for every one of the 314 EUV lithography machines it has ever shipped — and that none of them, nor any component designed for one, has reached China. US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick says otherwise. The fight reveals just how concentrated the world's chip supply chain has become. Read more

The generation that grew up with one shared phone in the hallway learned something their children never had to: how to be bored in front of other people without reaching for an escape

Picture a narrow hallway in a small apartment. A single phone is bolted to the wall, and a teenager twists the cord around her finger while her whole family pretends not to listen. If the call went quiet, she had nowhere to hide. She stood there, in full view of everyone, and waited for the ... Read more Read more

A landmark Psychological Bulletin review found that happiness doesn’t simply follow success. Across hundreds of studies, happier people were more likely to go on to succeed in work, relationships, income, and health — suggesting we may have been taught the formula backwards.

There is a familiar workplace story that runs quietly underneath a lot of ambition: first you succeed, then you get to be happy. The promotion comes first. The money comes first. The stable relationship, the recognition, the healthier routine, the sense of arrival. Happiness is treated as the receipt, not the engine. It is what ... Read more Read more

Psychology says people who grew up working class aren’t less capable than their higher-class peers in job interviews — they’re simply less overconfident, and overconfidence is what interviewers keep mistaking for competence

Job interviews are supposed to measure competence. A 2020 paper in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology suggests they often measure something else: how comfortable a person is with sounding certain. Peter Belmi, Margaret A. Neale, David Reiff and Rosemary Ulfe studied the relationship between social class and overconfidence, and argued that class-based inequality ... Read more Read more

Rethinking remote work: surveys show people will give up 5 to 8% of their pay to work from home, but a 2026 study links remote work to more isolation, anxiety and depression — suggesting they may be underweighting the cost

Here is something I have been turning over for a while. Most of us, given the choice, will give up real money to work from home — not metaphorical money but actual salary, the kind that pays rent. In a survey of more than 30,000 Americans, over half valued the option to work from home ... Read more Read more

People who reach their seventies genuinely content usually didn’t get there by forgiving everyone; they got there by quietly releasing the need for certain people to ever understand them

We tend to assume that the calm you see in some older people is the reward for a lifetime of forgiveness. The picture is almost cinematic: a person in their seventies who has made peace with everyone, hugged it out, and tied every loose end into a neat bow. It is a lovely story. It ...
