Приветствую, Хабр! В этой статье хочу описать практический кейс, который выглядит не как единичная ошибка на карте, а как системная проблема в работе навигационного сервиса от Яндекса. Речь идет о маршрутах в городе Дербент, где одна из дорог была перекрыта еще в марте 2026 года в связи с ремонтными работами (строительство сегмента центральной набережной города). Сейчас уже 23 июня 2026 года, прошло почти 4 месяца, но навигатор продолжает строить маршруты... Read more ›

10 июля, на следующий день после публичного запуска GPT-5.6 Sol Ultra, OpenAI заявила, что ее флагманская модель нашла доказательство гипотезы о двойном покрытии циклами — одной из самых известных открытых задач теории графов, стоявшей около полувека.

Environmental groups want America's FCC "to slam the brakes on orbital datacenters," writes The Register. They're arguing for an environmental impact assessment for what could be 1 million satellites: Earthjustice, acting on behalf of DarkSky International, Environment America, and Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER), filed a petition this week...
