Сегодня из каждого утюга звучит термин vibe coding — расслабленная, итеративная разработка в диалоге с ИИ, когда ты просто описываешь хотелки, а агент сам пишет, правит и деплоит. Звучит как магия, но на практике попытка скормить агенту большой объем работы за один заход почти всегда заканчивается результатом категории «ну, вроде работает». Читать далее Read more ›

Мне нужно было оплатить Zoom для команды — годовой Workplace Pro, $169.90. Написал посреднику, которого посоветовали в чате. Ответ пришёл быстро: «Да, по стоимости 18 422 Рубля, оплачиваем?»По курсу ЦБ $169.90 — это 13 320 ₽. Откуда ещё пять тысяч? «Курс и комиссия», — ответил менеджер.

Есть такой термин Relentless Improvements, который можно перевести как непрерывные/безостановочные/неустанные/непримеримые/безжалостные/ изменения. Те кто связаны c Agile, скорее всего сразу вспомнят Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe), и будут правы. Потому, что именно этот фрейм сделал термин массовым, особенно востребованным при изменениях, но заложил глубинную бомбу под многие продуктовые, ИТ и близкие к ним трансформации, определяя непрерывные изменения как стандарт организационной жизни. Причем наш окружаю Read more ›

Just a few weeks ago, Americans were able to eat salad without the fear of liquid feces and breathe in air that didn’t taste like campfire ash. And — we were just really excited to watch some soccer.

With the controversy over its software update policy now all but cleared, the Motorola Edge 70 Max stands out as a rather intriguing device – it has the most powerful chipset of the Edge 70 series, a Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, compared to Snapdragon 7 and Dimensity 8 series chips in the other phones. Its 7,100mAh battery dwarfs even the Pro/Pro+, which has a 6,500mAh battery, making this the biggest... Read more ›

Что вершит судьбу LLM в этом мире. Некая незримая инструкция или закон, подобно промту Господнему, парящим над миром? По крайне мере истинно то, что LLM не властен даже над своей волей.В 2025 году главной угрозой кибербезопасности по версии OWASP стал не вирус и не баг, а обычный человеческий язык. Многие думают, что проблему можно решить, просто запретить модели нарушать правила. Но это так не работает. Promt Injection нельзя просто выключить,... Read more ›

"I have been trying to find something meaningful to say about the Id Software layoffs," John Carmack posted Thursday to his 2.8 million followers on X.com: My "Microsoft will probably be a good steward of the brand" statement isn't aging well, and this is certainly going to dampen the mood of the founder reunion at QuakeCon next month. I'm saddened, but I can't muster anger or outrage over it. I... Read more ›

Microsoft released its 2026 Environmental Sustainability Report showing that last year it matched its entire electricity consumption with renewable energy, reports The Register. "The bad news is it also increased greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 25%" — mostly due to datacenter construction and a decision to stop purchasing some renewable energy certificates: In 2020, Microsoft set itself the goal of becoming "carbon-negative" by 2030. Its own figures show emissions heading... Read more ›

"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. It no longer has any traces... Read more ›

The Wall Street Journal says "an intense 27-year-old activist who had been leading sit-ins at OpenAI to protest the dangers of AI" was just part of a larger movement. "The Bay Area's AI boom is drawing young disillusioned men and women to join the fight against it. They are upending their lives and leaving behind careers for think tanks, nonprofits and street protest groups." Their cause is now riding a... Read more ›

Linus Torvalds once said LLMs might bring a 10X increase to programmer productivity. But speaking at Open Source Summit India 2026, he now says that number was "not scientific," reports ZDNet. "That was pulled out of my ass number, obviously."

Which jobs are most threatened by AI? "Programmers, software engineers and other tech industry employees," goes one common answer. "But many economists are more concerned about a different, larger group of white-collar workers," reports the New York Times: customer service reps, bookkeepers, payroll clerks and HR specialists, "who fly under the radar but collectively account for tens of millions of jobs..." They are spread across the country and throughout the... Read more ›

Long-time Slashdot reader necro81 writes: There are several companies, such as Tesla, trying to make semi trucks fully electric. The capital cost for such a truck, and the MW-scale infrastructure to recharge it, may be a hard sell for some operators. [IEEE Spectrum notes that's a charging infrastructure "that most freight corridors do not yet reliably provide."] But some companies are instead adding batteries and an electric motor to the...
