The 6-second video (caption: “When dad gets the #boxball for Christmas”) seems like standard TikTok fare. Posted on December 26, it features a white-haired man in glasses punching at a red ball. The ball is attached to the man’s forehead by a bungee cord. The man keeps trying to jab the target, but like a cat pawing at a laser beam, he keeps whiffing. Then, after 4 or 5 seconds, it dawns on you who “dad” actually is: Is that…Microsoft founder Bill Gates?

Представьте: вы спрашиваете умного коллегу о дедлайне проекта, а он отвечает уверенно и детально – но на самом деле придумывает всё на ходу. Именно это постоянно делают большие языковые модели. Они не «знают», что не знают. И это не баг конкретной реализации – это фундаментальное свойство архитектуры. В данной статье студент первого курса ТОП ИТ предлагает один из способов как это побороть вооружившись RAG и семантической энтропией... Читать далее Read more ›

Четыре последних релиза моего проекта почти ничего не изменили для пользователя. Не появилось новых экранов, кнопок или возможностей. Зато именно за эти восемь дней проект пережил, пожалуй, самую большую архитектурную перестройку с момента своего появления. Рассказываю, почему иногда отказ от новых функций оказывается самым правильным решением. Статья большая и представлена как ретроспектива. Рассказывает о взрослении как в самом написании кода и подходу к разработке, так и о архитектурном. Читать далее Read more ›

В 2026 году появились телефоны со встроенным проектором, Linux вместо Android, экраном E Ink и даже устройства, которые больше напоминают карманные компьютеры, чем привычные смартфоны. В этой подборке — самые интересные примеры таких экспериментов. Читать далее Read more ›

Привет, Хабр! Меня зовут Максим Теплых, эксперт по тестированию на проникновение в ИТ-компании Innostage.

Apple plans to adopt OLED panels capable of displaying a much wider range of colors, according to a new report from research firm TrendForce. The new panels would cover 95% of the BT.2020 color standard, which describes a far broader spectrum of colors than the DCI-P3 standard Apple's screens currently target. In practice, that means deeper, more accurate reds, greens, and blues. Reaching those richer colors demands more precise control... Read more ›
