alternative_right shares a report from ScienceAlert: A study published in PLOS One in 2021 by researchers from Durham University in the UK showed that with 10 weeks of training, both blind and sighted people could learn to echolocate using verbal clicks.

12% всех зарегистрированных утечек данных в России начинались с атаки на топ-менеджмент (по данным PT EdTechLab). Так случилось, что собственники и ТОПы — это люди с уникальным, точнее уникально взрывоопасным, сочетанием максимального уровня привелегий и доверия внутри компании с, часто, относительно халатным отношением к кибергигиене. Бывает, что к этому добавляется еще наполняющая кибератаки фактурой публичность. Поделюсь пророчествами мыслями, к чему это может привести, и рекомендациями, что делать специ Read more ›

In a surefire sign Hollywood has reached the desperation stage of its insatiable hunger for video game properties to swallow up and spit out in dubiously recognisable big-screen form, Atari has somewhat improbably announced a deal with Universal Pictures to produce ten movies based on classic retro games from its expansive backcatalogue, including Pong, Breakout, and more.

В начале 2026 года я запустил опрос в отделе: «Какими ИИ-инструментами вы пользуетесь?» Из 20 опрошенных только 3 человека пробовали ИИ-агентов в работе. Большинство технической команды — это хардкорные МЛ-щики, которые создают системы поиска патологий на медицинских снимках, а не просто дергают API ChatGPT с нужным промптом. Но почему даже в такой ИИ-организации процент людей, попробовавших ИИ-агентов, настолько низкий? Узнать почему Read more ›

Представьте машину времени. Не ту, что переносит в прошлое или будущее, а ту, что ускоряет ваши собственные биологические часы прямо сейчас. Садитесь внутрь, проводите в ней год и выходите с телом, которое прошло через изменения, характерные для нескольких десятилетий жизни на Земле. Мышцы истончились. Кости стали хрупкими. Кроветворные стволовые клетки состарились на молекулярном уровне. Иммунитет работает непредсказуемо.Такая машина существует и находится примерно в 400 км над вашей головой. Это Междунаро Read more ›

Когда в зависимости обнаруживают уязвимость, очевидное решение — поднять её минимально допустимую версию во всех библиотеках, которые ее используют. Тогда пакетный менеджер не подтянет уязвимую версию даже при новой установке. Сет Ларсон из Python Software Foundation предлагает не делать этого автоматически. По его мнению метаданные библиотеки должны описывать только совместимость, а контроль безопасности сборки оставаться на стороне приложения.Колонка Сета вызвала спор в Python-сообществе: одни поддержали.
