China's AI Companies May Be 'Distilling' America's AI Models

In March, Anthropic's Claude "quietly deployed software to spy on China-based customers," reports the Washington Post — apparently to unmask Chinese rivals "suspected of hijacking its technology to make their own AI tools smarter." Last week Anthropic removed the spyware "after a software developer revealed its existence and privacy advocates criticized Anthropic, saying it had surveilled its own users." Anthropic's tracking code was designed in part to catch Chinese firms... Read more

For most of history people met their partners through family, church or friends; now, the most common way American couples meet is online — algorithms displacing the matchmaker once played by family and friends

For most of the twentieth century, finding a partner in America was a community project. Family made introductions. Church socials, neighbourhood gatherings, and the friend who knew someone worth meeting did the quiet work of pairing people off. That arrangement held for most of the century, but no longer. A study of American couples found ... Read more Read more

Закрывается окно возможностей GEO, надо успеть

Про GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) на Хабре уже много писали: разметка schema.org, доступный HTML, таблицы вместо простыни текста, чек-листы «как попасть в нейровыдачу». Это тактика, а вопрос интереснее на уровне механики: чем ранжирование в рекламном аукционе в принципе похоже на то, как модель что процитировать, и как за счёт этого сходства писать один текст, который работает в обеих системах, а не гнаться за двумя разными зайцами.У рекламного аукциона и у...

Никола Тесла — гений, инженер, пиарщик… и философ?

На первом курсе аспирантуры я проходил дисциплину «История и философия науки». Курс погружал в вопросы познания, разные философские теории и в саму суть научного поиска — в том числе в размышления о том, что значит быть учёным. Я не относился к этой дисциплине с восторгом, но она всё же зацепила меня — в ней было над чем подумать. Особенно когда хотелось отвлечься от работы над моделями электроснабжения АЭС и стендом...

The Sourdough Sidekick automates the boring bit of baking

Baking sourdough bread is inherently old-fashioned, relying on natural fermentation and wild yeast instead of the simple, predictable commercial stuff.
