Нормальных статей или обзоров про это почти нет, а если и есть, то они тяжёлые и очень нагруженные технической частью, которую понимают только сами создатели статей. Эта статья — моя попытка объяснить вам доходчивым языком, что же такое Garbage Collector в Dart, объяснить... Read more

AI researchers trick chatbots into sharing how to make cocaine as long as they believe a user is wearing a green shirt — 'CoT Forgery' exploit spurs LLMs to divulge forbidden info by faking trusted chains of thought

Tagged partitions of a LLM's input sequence are meant to provide security through trusted roles, but it turns out that models judge whether inputs sound like they belong in certain tags rather than literally interpreting them, making them vulnerable to prompt injection. Read more

The habit of keeping the radio on in an empty house often has less to do with company than with the memory of a kitchen where a voice in the background meant someone was home and nothing bad was happening yet

For many adults, the radio playing softly in an empty kitchen isn't about company at all. It's a quiet act of nervous system maintenance, rooted in a childhood where background sound meant the house was still safe. Read more

A film about the founding of OpenAI was written, cast, directed by Luca Guadagnino, test-screened to warm reviews, and then quietly shelved by the studio that financed it approximately 4 months after that studio invested $50 billion in the company the film depicted unfavorably

There is a version of the “Artificial” story that is an ordinary Hollywood development story. A production got made, got tested, and found itself without a distribution home for reasons that, while connected to a specific business relationship, are not uncommon in an industry where dozens of completed films each year fail to reach audiences ...

People with a richer vocabulary for their inner life have measurably lower rates of depression — not because they feel less, but because they feel more precisely

Consider two people at the end of a difficult meeting. The first registers that they feel bad. The second registers that they feel humiliated — not angry, not embarrassed, not disappointed, but specifically humiliated. The feeling is not more intense in the second case. It is more precise. And that precision, according to a growing ... Read more Read more

In 1977, Jerry Ehman was paging through computer printouts from Ohio State’s Big Ear telescope when he saw a 72-second signal so strong and so cleanly from the direction of Sagittarius that he circled the column in red ballpoint and wrote a single word in the margin: Wow!

On August 15, 1977, Ohio State's Big Ear radio telescope recorded a 72-second narrow-band signal from Sagittarius that was 30 times louder than background noise — sitting almost exactly on the hydrogen line where SETI researchers had been listening since 1959. Jerry Ehman circled it in red ballpoint days later. It has never been heard again. Read more
