24 In the first quarter of 2026, investors poured roughly $242 billion into AI startups—about 80% of all venture capital deployed worldwide, according to Crunchbase.

Psychology says people who are kind to everyone and close to no one often weren’t always this way — there was usually a friendship, a relationship, or a family dynamic that taught them, clearly enough to stick, that letting someone fully in was indistinguishable from handing them a way to hurt you

Как я сделал оповещения о БПЛА через Яндекс.Станцию

nlaik @ Habr 2 place · today 05:22 EDT

Задача звучала как на полчаса: пусть Яндекс.Станция сама произносит вслух сообщения из Telegram-канала, без обращения к Алисе. По факту — несколько вечеров, потому что Яндекс не даёт из коробки простой возможности “скажи произвольный текст по внешнему событию”. Прошёл два тупика (виртуальные устройства и локальный TTS) и собрал рабочий пайплайн на Home Assistant + webhook. Рассказываю весь путь, включая то, что не сработало — тупики тут поучительнее итога.

Представьте себе, что некий предприимчивый человек решил учредить свой первый бизнес. Он не умеет печь торты или замешивать тесто, но зато прекрасно знает рынок кухонного оборудования. Проанализировав все предприятия этой индустрии в Испании, он пришёл к выводу: если продавать новые печи пиццериям, кондитерским и пекарням, то достаточно занять буквально 10% рынка, чтобы стать миллиардером. И вроде бы 10% совсем немного, когда смотришь на эту цифру в таблицах Excel.Но учредитель мыслит... Read more ›
