«Мертвый интернет» против «замерзшего» — обсуждаем популярные конспирологические теории о будущем сети

VASExperts (VAS Experts) @ Habr 1 place · today 04:11 EDT

Исследователи говорят, что трафик систем ИИ в интернете превысил человеческий. Скрейперы и краулеры собирают данные на сайтах для тонкой настройки или обучения новых моделей, а агентные системы выполняют действия от имени пользователя. Все это дало новый толчок теориям «интернет-апокалипсиса» о неизбежной кончине «человеческой» сети, в том виде, который мы знаем и любим. Разбираемся, что такое «теория мертвого интернета», что на этот счет говорят исследования и статистика, кто считает, что интернет... Read more ›

Оживление android-планшета глазами новичка. Как я нашел себе классную читалку на лето

По личным ощущениям, индустрия планшетов потихоньку отошла на второй план у массовых пользователей. И речь сейчас про буквально все сегменты, от недорогих устройств на Android до всей линейки iPad. Эта история осталась актуальной для гораздо более узкой прослойки людей, как будто. Я же, в свою очередь, любил свой iPad сначала mini второго поколения (еще в студенческие годы), а затем и Air 2, который дожил до 2023 года, пока его случайно... Read more ›

Орбитальные дата-центры Маска: фантастика или следующий этап развития ИИ?

Add to bookmarks Don't show Habr

TrexSelectel (Selectel) @ Habr · today 04:00 EDT

Развитие ИИ сейчас упирается не в алгоритмы или производительность чипов. Главной проблемой становятся сами вычислительные мощности. Новые дата-центры строят по всему миру, однако вместе с этим возникает дефицит свободных ресурсов, прежде всего, воды и энергии.На этом фоне начали появляться весьма необычные идеи. Одна из них — перенести часть вычислений в космос. Именно такой подход продвигают Илон Маск и SpaceX. Компания рассматривает создание орбитальных вычислительных узлов, которые будут получать энерги Read more ›
