The 14 predictions that came true in 2024 — and the 10 that didn’t

Making predictions is a tricky business, and here at Future Perfect, we don’t pretend to have a crystal ball. But we do think there’s real epistemic value in putting our forecasts out there and — just as importantly — owning up to how they turned out. (Something that happens too rarely in the media, as […]

5 concepts that completely changed how I think about focus and productivity

I had a morning recently that, on paper, should have been a good one. Clear calendar, a piece due, coffee made, sun in the kitchen. By lunchtime I had answered messages, tidied my desktop, reorganized a folder, and written almost nothing. I had been “busy the entire time. I had also, somehow, produced nothing that ...

Retrieval в 2026: как RAG переехал с энкодеров на LLM (и что с этим делать в своём проекте)

Если вы строили RAG в 2023, ваш стек выглядел плюс-минус одинаково. BERT-семейство (BGE, e5) для семантики, BM25 для буквальных совпадений, cross-encoder для реранкинга, какой-нибудь Qdrant сверху. Этим жили два года, и многие до сих пор так живут.Но если посмотреть, кто реально гоняется в продакшене у команд, которые ушли вперёд, ландшафт другой. Энкодеров там почти нет. Эмбеддит файнтюненная LLM. Реранкер — тоже LLM. Инференс на SGLang, а не на ONNX. И... Read more

ИИ заменяет программиста, а не компилятор

Я часто вижу в комментариях выражения, типа "ИИ не заменит программиста, потому что ИИ выдаёт недетерминированный результат". Но ведь и человек не выдаёт детерминированный результат. Много ли вы знаете людей, которые могут написать программу на тысячу с лишним строк, а затем повторить её байт в байт? Ладно, согласен - это возможно. Ну а на 10 тысяч?Из опыта общения с ИИ могу сказать, что ИИ более детерминирован в своём поведении, чем... Read more

Альбер Робида: человек, нарисовавший стимпанк и предсказавший киберпанк в XIX веке. Часть 1

Знаменитый в своё время и крайне плодовитый французский автор Альбер Робида оставил после себя несколько книг и тысячи рисунков — в том числе множество иллюстраций к своей пародии на Жюля Верна под названием «XX век». Именно эти ироничные картинки в очень характерном стиле породили эстетику того, что теперь мы зовём стимпанком — только тогда это был не ретро-, а просто футуризм. Что более удивительно, в «XX веке», писавшемся в 1880-е... Read more
