Alien World Chemistry Found Inside Meteorite That Struck New Jersey Home

Researchers say a meteorite that crashed through the roof of a Hillsborough, New Jersey, home in 2024 contains unusually pristine evidence of salty fluids and organic chemistry from near the surface of a primitive asteroid. "A forensic study of the fragments revealed that they contained preserved bits from near the surface of a primitive asteroid, where it experienced concentrated salty fluids -- a process not previously known from this type of protoplanet world," said lead author and meteor astronomer Pete

Мешают ли нейросети мышлению?

Однажды знойным летним вечером я оказался на лекции по искусственному интеллекту. Лектор - профессор СПбГУ - начал с краткого обзора истории этой науки с середины прошлого века и закончил красочным описанием тех чудес, которые нам (обязательно) принесут нейросети в будущем.Я большой нейроскептик: я был бы рад, если бы в один момент все ИИ-компании просто испарились, как не было их, и мы вернулись в эпоху мясных копирайтеров и недооплачиваемых стажёров.

Как мы научили агента парсить данные, к которым нет доступа через API

Есть данные, которые вроде бы доступны, но программно их не взять. Они отображаются в браузере, их видно на графиках, по ним можно кликать мышкой. Но API для них либо не существует, либо он закрыт.Раньше это означало ручной анализ: открываешь плеер, смотришь, как пользователь скроллил страницу, на чем задерживался и где кликал. Триста посещений — триста раз открыть плеер. А если нужно проанализировать поведение за месяц с тысячами визитов, задача превращается... Read more

Как ИИ помог автоматизировать контент с помощью Pandoc, bash и пары утилит

Привет, на связи Влада, веб-специалист ЮMoney. Год назад я рассказывала на Хабре, как контент-менеджеру пригодятся терминал, Git и несколько десятков строк кода.С тех пор многое изменилось. В работе появился ИИ — инструмент, снизивший порог входа в автоматизацию. Не потому, что пишет код вместо нас, а потому, что ускорил создание небольших утилит под наши процессы.Расскажу, как из одного bash-скрипта вырос набор внутренних инструментов для контент-команды.

AI-driven Datacenter Builds Increased Microsoft's Emissions 25% In One Year

Microsoft released its 2026 Environmental Sustainability Report showing that last year it matched its entire electricity consumption with renewable energy, reports The Register.

"While KDE and GNOME dominate the landscape, a relative newcomer is starting to make waves with features other desktops still don't fully support," argues XDA Developers: Linux 7.0 was the first release of the kernel to officially support Rust, but COSMIC has been all-in on Rust since the very beginning, and COSMIC 1.1 finally stripped all the leftovers of C language from the desktop.
