Системный аналитик 2026: вы всё ещё пишете документацию, но теперь её читает только LLM

Я работаю более 6 лет системным аналитиком и порядка трёх лет на продуктах по внедрению LLM в бизнес. И меня категорически не устраивает AI-зрелость большинства моих коллег в этих ИИ-проектах! Есть мысль, что часть проблемы в отсутствии у системных аналитиков общепризнанного подхода к AI‑усилению, подобного тому, что уже сформировался у разработчиков. Но при этом я часто встречаю в вакансиях требования «опыт написания документации AI‑native», «AI‑центричная аналитика». И я согласен с... Read more

Заметки после спора про ядерный реактор, чип Nvidia и приоритеты.На прошлой неделе друг скинул новость: калифорнийский стартап Valar Atomics запитал ИИ-чип Nvidia напрямую от своего портативного ядерного реактора — первый случай в США, когда реактор нового поколения сделал что-то подобное. Спросил, что я думаю. Мой ответ был коротким и непечатным.Не потому, что ядерная энергетика плоха. Я твёрдо за ядерную энергетику. Но эта демонстрация, при всём её обаянии, говорит не столько...

[Перевод] 25 виртуальных процессоров в одном железе: как Space Shuttle обрабатывал ввод-вывод

У компьютеров Space Shuttle был отдельный процессор ввода-вывода, который связывал бортовую вычислительную систему с датчиками, дисплеями, двигателями и другими узлами шаттла. Внутри он оказался куда интереснее обычного интерфейсного блока: 24 сетевых подключения, манчестерское кодирование, PROM с микрокодом и 25 виртуальных процессоров, работающих на одном физическом процессоре. Разбираем две платы IOP и смотрим, как в железе 1970-х решали задачи, которые сегодня назвали бы многопоточностью, изоляцией конт Read more
