Proposed New York Law Could Require Background Checks Before Buying 3D Printers

A new law is being considered by New York's state legislature, reports a local news outlet. "if passed, will require anyone buying a 3D printer to pass a background check. If you can't legally own a firearm, you won't be able to buy one of these printers..."



It is illegal to print most gun parts in New York. Attorney Greg Rinckey believes the proposal is an overreach. "I think this is also gonna face some constitutional problems. I mean, it really comes down to a legal parsing of what are you printing an

Как я учил модель прогнозировать погоду по одной метеостанции — и почему она сначала выучила все наизусть

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...

Saint HighLoad++ 2026: как крупный ИТ осваивает ИИ

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

Как CTO защитить бюджет на миграцию в облако

Представьте ситуацию: вы приходите к руководству с четким техническим обоснованием миграции в облако: оборудование устаревает, вычислительных мощностей не хватает, риски простоев растут.

Обзор APEX Security — Android Package EXaminer

Вообще, идея была автоматизировать процесс проведения анализа и извлечения всей необходимой информации из вредоносного APK файла.

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.
