Логарифм для аналитика: где он спасает отчет, а где его ломает

AI‑driven hiring: я хотел лучше оценивать кандидатов, а ИИ начал оценивать меня

Я начал использовать ИИ на собеседованиях с довольно понятной целью: лучше готовиться и меньше полагаться на первое впечатление. До встречи модель помогает разобрать резюме или тестовое задание, выделить спорные места и сформулировать вопросы. После — прочитать расшифровку и сопоставить ответы с критериями.Поначалу самым интересным казался именно разбор кандидата. Но довольно быстро выяснилось, что самое неприятное и одновременно полезное оказалось не в ответах кандидата, а в моих собственных вопросах. ИИ р Read more

Разбираю проблему автономной нейросети

Рецепты построения по‑настоящему автономной нейросети регулярно всплывают в информационном поле. Чаще всего методы и способы совпадают независимо от авторов. Несмотря на то, что выглядят они оригинально, фактически, большая их часть формализованы с помощью LLM, а они, как мы знаем очень хорошо работают с имеющимися знаниями.В этой статье я проанализирую основные предлагаемые приёмы и ошибочность фундамента, на которых они базируются.

Move over, Maine. A new Democratic primary has taken the crown as the country’s most dysfunctional.

Climate adaptation isn’t surrender. It’s survival.

In 2019, the AI researcher Rich Sutton published a short essay called “The Bitter Lesson.” Seventy years of AI research, he argued, kept demonstrating the same thing: the most effective ways to train AI rely on raw, brute-force computing power — simply scaling up — rather than clever approaches built on human insight.
