Researchers say caffeine may help keep brain cells active while reducing inflammation and harmful plaque buildup associated with Alzheimer’s disease. But more coffee wasn’t better — the protective effect appeared to level off after moderate intake. Read more

Почему доходность — это плохая цель для капитала

Буквально недавно всплыл в голове один разговор. Осенью прошлого года клиентка рассказывала, как её подруга, у которой вдруг попёр бизнес, который раньше еле выживал, хвасталась новой брендовой сумочкой и ипотекой на элитную квартиру в центре Питера. Потом машину захотела поменять на представительский класс. И что-то там должно было остаться. Вот это «что-то вроде бы должно остаться» меня тогда повеселило. И с этим остатком надо было что-то сделать. Логично, что клиентка... Read more

Шайтан-коробочка: Как карманная игра из 90-х научилась читать мысли людей

90-е запомнились везде по разному: где-то они были лихие, где-то благословенные. Но для ИИ это десятилетие было настоящим ренессансом. Что поделать, закон Мура в действии: оперативка резко поумнела, процессоры стали быстрее истребителя, а еще алгоритмические прорывы случались один за другим.Но среди всего этого великолепия особенно выделялся один странный, безымянный алгоритм, который долгое время оставался загадкой для посторонних. Никто не знал откуда он взялся, как и кем был натренирован, хотя при... Read more
