Venus' Strange Rotation Was Likely Triggered By a High Velocity Moon-Sized Impactor

New simulations suggest Venus' extremely slow backward rotation may have been triggered by a high-angle collision with a fast-moving object roughly one-tenth its mass. The impact could have dramatically altered Venus' spin and melted nearly its entire mantle. Universe Today reports: Venus' bizarre and extraordinarily slow retrograde rotation on its axis has long puzzled planetary scientists. But in a new paper presented at the recent European Geosciences Union General Assembly in Vienna, the authors argue t

Рождение ИИ-теха: как OpenAI, Anthropic и SpaceX собирают деньги для мира будущего

Привет, Хабр! В 2010-х появился термин «бигтех» и акроним FAANG — так называли крупнейшие технологические компании, стоявшие за потребительской революцией в интернете. Но с развитием ИИ ландшафт поменялся: четыре из пяти гигантов не успели за новым трендом, и им на смену пришли другие. Этот сдвиг пытаются закрепить новым акронимом — MANGOS (Microsoft, Anthropic, Nvidia, Google, OpenAI и SpaceX).Три из этих компаний сейчас выходят на публичный рынок. SpaceX уже влетела с...

Deep Research как управляемый исследовательский контур

Deep Research часто описывают как «LLM с интернет-поиском». Однако если система просто делает несколько поисковых запросов, читает часть выдачи и пишет ответ, то она упускает несколько важных аспектов, без которых невозможно полноценное исследование.В настоящем глубоком исследовании, помимо доступа к актуальным источникам, важен и сам исследовательский процесс: понять исходный вопрос, не потерять ограничения, разложить задачу на проверяемые части, собрать доказательную базу, отличить найденные факты от выво Read more

Реальные профессии будущего, а не «промпт-инженер» и про то, как мировой средний класс исчезает

Массовый средний класс появился относительно недавно — после промышленной революции. И сейчас он постепенно сужается. Рутинный и офисный труд вымывается, но растёт спрос на высококвалифицированных специалистов — STEM, медицина — и то, чем не смогут заниматься роботы. Сложнее всего роботам приходится в непредсказуемой физической среде: уход за людьми, стройка, монтаж, ремонт, полевые работы, ручная доводка на производстве. То есть там, где нужно постоянное адаптивное суждение, с которым алгоритмы справляются Read more

PostgreSQL не тормозит. Почему мы перестали масштабировать базу данных и начали масштабировать архитектуру

Каждый раз, когда в компании возникают проблемы с производительностью PostgreSQL, обсуждение обычно идет по одному и тому же сценарию.Сначала DBA оптимизируют запросы. Потом появляются новые индексы. Потом увеличивается размер серверов. Затем появляются реплики. Потом еще реплики. И через некоторое время выясняется, что значительная часть бюджета на инфраструктуру уходит на обслуживание системы, которая изначально должна была просто хранить данные.Недавно мы в Tarantool столкнулись именно с такой ситуацией.

Apple, meanwhile, says regulators rejected its proposals and claims the DMA would require giving third-party AI systems overly broad access to users' devices.
