The latest automation push has spurred union pushback over a potentially existential issue for automakers and their workers. General Motors installed approximately 50 robot arms at GM's Factory Zero plant in Detroit, Michigan, according to reporting.

Про то, как я оцифровал себя без ИИ, чтобы стать видеоблогером

История про то, как я сделал себе виртуального аватара для коротких видео — без генерации видео через ИИ.Задача была простая: превратить свои текстовые заметки в вертикальные ролики, не садиться перед камерой и не тратить день на монтаж каждого выпуска.В итоге получилась самодельная полуавтоматическая DIY‑система:— универсальные графические ассеты персонажа— ручная озвучка моим голосом— разметка фраз в аудио через Audacity— текстовый сценарий с управляющими тегами для событий в ролике— кастомный JSX‑плагин.

Эволюция, а не революция: релиз Elixir 1.20 и почему он вас заинтересует

В мире разработки программного обеспечения редко можно увидеть, как зрелый, динамический язык добавляет мощную, статическую систему типов без ущерба для своей философии и существующего кода. 3 июня 2026 года команда Elixir сделала именно это, выпустив версию 1.20. Главное нововведение — постепенная типизация (gradual typing), которая обещает найти в вашем коде «верифицированные баги» (verified bugs — ошибки, гарантированно ведущие к падению в рантайме) без необходимости писать аннотации типов.Но почему это.

ИИ-детекторы: патенты в мире и в России

С развитием больших языковых моделей качество автоматически сгенерированного текста достигло уровня, при котором он становится практически неотличимым от написанного человеком. Это создаёт как новые возможности, так и значительные вызовы, связанные с фальсификацией информации, мошенничеством, генерацией дезинформации и другими рисками.В связи с этим встает вопрос по обнаружению и защите от созданного искусственным интеллектом контента.

TAMA-90: тамагочи из 90-х своими руками на JavaScript

До момента, когда я сел писать эту статью, я вообще не понимал, что такое тамагочи. Нет, не в смысле «никогда не слышал» — конечно, слышал и видел (не вживую, через экран). Где-то на уровне культурного шума это слово всплывало регулярно в американских фильмах или сериалах, где герой с придыханием вспоминает игрушку детства и рассказывает, как ему это нравилось. Ярче всего у меня в памяти отпечаталась сцена из знаменитого детективного сериала... Read more
