In 1974, a Chinese farmer named Yang Zhifa was digging a well in a dry field outside Xi’an when his shovel struck a clay head, and the well he never finished opened the first pit of a buried army of more than 8,000 terracotta soldiers

On 29 March 1974, six farmers digging a well in a drought-stricken Chinese village hit a clay head four metres down. They had punctured the roof of a 2,200-year-old pit holding more than 8,000 terracotta soldiers guarding the tomb of China's first emperor.

Ты сможешь! Введение в машинное обучение с подкреплением для программистов и не только

Почти весь код туториалов, который мне попадался в открытом доступе, с точки зрения кодирования, написан на уровне junior-программиста, что вполне закономерно, ведь все Data Science и ML-инженеры, которых я знаю, в большей степени математики, а не программисты. И сложность их кода не только в языковых конструкциях и отсутствии хороших практик кодирования, но и в том, что он больше похож на математические выкладки и довольно тяжело читаем для людей, имеющих за...

Закон Амдала — математика против маркетинга многоядерности

Если 95% вашей задачи выполняется параллельно - максимальное ускорение 20 раз. Хоть 8 процессоров, хоть 8 тысяч. Потолок встроен в задачу, не в железо.Это закон Амдала. Сформулирован в 1967-м на конференции AFIPS в статье с названием "Validity of the Single Processor Approach to Achieving Large Scale Computing Capabilities" - то есть "В защиту одиночного процессора". Амдал пришел объяснить, почему массовый параллелизм не даст обещанного выигрыша для многих реальных задач. Читать... 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
