Rust скор во время выполнения, а вот компилируется он не так шустро. Едва ли это удивит читателя, имевшего дело с серьёзными базами кода на Rust. В блогах сложился целый жанр постов, повествующих о том, как скостить пару секунд с cargo build.В нашем проекте мы реализовали функцию, позволяющую пользователям писать прямо на SQL, определяя таким образом таблицы и представления. Под капотом этот код на SQL компилируется в код на Rust —... Read more ›

Июль 2026 года для OpenAI оказался выходит насыщенным: она одновременно обновила два разных уровня своей платформы: базовый слой языковых моделей и слой голосового взаимодействия. GPT-5.6 вышла как новое семейство моделей для API и Codex, а GPT-Live стала новой голосовой системой ChatGPT Voice. В сумме это выглядит не как косметический релиз, а как заметный сдвиг в архитектуре продуктовой линейки OpenAI.Если упростить до одной фразы, то GPT-5.6 отвечает на вопрос «какую текстовую...

A team routing queries across a coding specialist, a logic specialist, and a generalist model assumes each will cover the others' blind spots. A new study evaluating 67 frontier models from 21 providers shows that assumption is mathematically flawed — and the flaw has a name: the co-failure ceiling.The assumption works like this: as long as two models don't usually fail on the exact same prompts, combining them is supposed...

Sysdig says it has documented the first ransomware attack carried out end to end by an AI agent, which autonomously exploited exposed systems, stole credentials, established persistence, compromised a production database, and destroyed data. The research team named the attacker "JadePuffer" and said it gained initial access to an internet-facing Langflow instance by exploiting CVE-2025-3248. "The most striking characteristic, however, was the LLM's behavior," Sysdig director of threat research Michael... Read more ›

Excluding the Covid-era jobs market, that's the lowest participation rate since June 1976. CNBC reports: The decline in the labor force marks a "massive exodus" driven by multiple factors, said Mike Reid, head of U.S. economics at RBC. "The unemployment rate fell to 4.2% as both the number of... Read more ›

An anonymous reader quotes a report from The Guardian: Researchers who tracked more than 90,000 people over a decade found that sitting or lying down while awake for more than 30 minutes in one period each day was associated with an increased risk of cancer death. The risk increases for every additional hour of continuous inactivity, the findings suggest. However, the researchers also found breaking up periods of sedentary behavior... Read more ›

Amazon says its Leo satellite network now has enough spacecraft in orbit to begin limited commercial internet service, with 396 satellites providing "continuous service across initial latitudes." Early performance will likely be uneven, however, and well behind Starlink. "It'll be years before Amazon can boast similar performance numbers as it continues to launch a planned 3,232 Leo satellites," reports The Verge. From the report: SpaceX went live with its "Better...
