A county transit police detective fed a poor-quality image to an AI-powered facial recognition program, remembers the Washington Post, leading to the arrest of "Christopher Gatlin, a 29-year-old father of four who had no apparent ties to the crime scene nor a history of violent offenses." He was unable to post the $75,000 cash bond required, and "jailed for a crime he says he didn't commit, it would take Gatlin more than two years to clear his name."

Это история про пет-проект, который я делал ради трёх вещей одновременно: прогноз приземной температуры на неделю вперёд из данных одной метеостанции, честные интервалы неопределённости вместо голой точки, и работа на железе уровня Raspberry Pi без всякого GPU. По дороге я несколько раз ошибся, один раз откатил целый эксперимент, и в итоге понял про свою же модель больше, чем когда её проектировал.В прошлых статьях я допустил множество ошибок, которые выявил при...

Прошел очередной Saint HighLoad++. Онтико поменял формат, на конференции было три трека выступлений и два – мастер-классов. Превалировала тема ИИ, ей был посвящен отдельный трек, и еще ряд выступлений и много мастер-классов на других треках. Отмечу новое хайповое слово: harness – им называют обвязку вокруг ИИ – получение контекста, настройку скилов для агентов других правил работы, и так далее. Естественно, это делали и раньше, но на highload появилось модное название,... Read more ›

A town in northern Philippines closed down all computer rental shops, with the mayor saying that these establishments distracted students from their studies and led to abuse and other dangers. The move came a little over a week after many people have started blaming a deadly school shooting in central Philippines on a violent video game that the perpetrators played. Read more ›

For 36 years, the question of who ultimately ruled Iran had one answer: Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. While Iran has an elected president and legislature, that power is subordinate to the religious supreme leader, who has the last say over all foreign and domestic policies and is the commander in chief of Iran’s conventional […] Read more ›

Представьте ситуацию: вы приходите к руководству с четким техническим обоснованием миграции в облако: оборудование устаревает, вычислительных мощностей не хватает, риски простоев растут. Рассказываете, как облако поможет быстрее запускать новые сервисы, масштабировать инфраструктуру и снизить нагрузку на команду. А в ответ слышите: «Бюджет не согласован. Живите с тем, что есть».Знакомая ситуация? Проблема не в качестве ваших аргументов. Проблема в том, что ИТ и бизнес говорят на разных языках. Вы говорите н Read more ›

Вообще, идея была автоматизировать процесс проведения анализа и извлечения всей необходимой информации из вредоносного APK файла. Ряд программ уже существует в компьютерном мире, однако я понял для себя, что нет единого ящика, который бы мог держать в себе все необходимые инструменты и выполнять анализ более качественно и развернуто, ну и, соответственно, работать по цели.Если коротко, то APEX — программа, которая пригодится всем, кто работает с Android-приложениями: тестировщикам, разработчикам, специалист Read more ›

Автор: Олег Линьков, Webformula (webformula-agro.ru)Агросектор — одна из самых недооценённых ниш для прикладного AgTech. Здесь нет хайпа вокруг LLM на каждом шагу, зато есть жёсткие ограничения, которые делают задачу интересной с инженерной точки зрения: сезонность с точностью до недель, географическая распределённость, аудитория с низкой толерантностью к нерелевантному шуму и предметная область, где ошибка в данных стоит реального урожая.Я двенадцать лет занимаюсь digital в агро и последние годы — построен Read more ›

On 29 March 1974, six farmers digging a well in a drought-stricken Chinese village hit a clay head four metres down. They had punctured the roof of a 2,200-year-old pit holding more than 8,000 terracotta soldiers guarding the tomb of China's first emperor. Read more ›

Современный диабетик использует сразу несколько устройств и сервисов. Сенсор непрерывного мониторинга глюкозы, приложение производителя, иногда инсулиновую помпу, иногда обычные шприц-ручки.

alternative_right shares a report from ScienceAlert: If you consumed a wild mushroom and suddenly started seeing tiny people around you, you might reasonably assume it contained a familiar psychedelic. But that does not appear to be the case with Lanmaoa asiatica, known locally as jian shou qing, a mushroom species sold in markets in Yunnan, southwestern China. When eaten undercooked, the mushroom can produce vivid visions of miniature people --... Read more ›

Ancient Slashdot reader Mark Round writes: Longtime reader here (since mid-1999 -- Hot Grits! Oog the Caveman! Beowulf clusters!), and I can still remember posting back on Slashdot's own 5th anniversary. Time's rolled on: my own blog just turned 25, and it's now roughly 40 years since I first sat down at a computer. So I went digging through archive.org, old backups, and a box of ZIP disks, and wrote... Read more ›

An anonymous reader quotes a report from the Associated Press: The Trump administration is providing $17.5 billion to speed the development of 10 new large nuclear reactors to meet the skyrocketing power demand from massive data centers. Energy Secretary Chris Wright cited "tremendous interest" among developers of data centers that would buy the power, as well as utilities and energy companies. The nuclear plants could begin construction by 2030 and... Read more ›

A peer-reviewed Nature critique argues that Microsoft's 2025 Majorana quantum-computing breakthrough -- and its claim that it could enable "a truly meaningful quantum computer not in decades, as some have predicted, but in years" -- is fundamentally flawed. According to Dr Henry Legg, a lecturer at the University of St Andrews, the claims were undermined by omitted data, selective plotting, and basic Python errors that concealed alternative results. Microsoft, for... Read more ›
