The Powerful AI Tool That Cops (Or Stalkers) Can Use To Geolocate Photos In Seconds

An anonymous reader quotes a report from 404 Media: A powerful AI tool can predict with high accuracy the location of photos based on features inside the image itself -- such as vegetation, architecture, and the distance between buildings -- in seconds, with the company now marketing the tool to law enforcement officers and government agencies. Called GeoSpy, made by a firm called Graylark Technologies out of Boston, the tool has also been used for months by members of the public, with many making videos ma

Король, Дракон и Кролики: аллегория о тотальной оптимизации и конце маркетплейсов — 4 («Самодум и агенты против Короны»)

В последние годы в цифровой экономике наметилась тревожная, но неизбежная тенденция, которую аналитики и футурологи называют «эпохой агентного шопинга».Речь идет о появлении автономных программных агентов-закупщиков, которые совершают покупки от имени пользователя, полностью исключая человека из процесса принятия решений. Это не просто очередное приложение или сервис — это фундаментальный сдвиг в самой логике розничной торговли.Традиционная бизнес-модель маркетплейсов строилась на двух китах: Читать далее Read more

Не Bluetooth, а Wi-Fi: третья версия моей мощной портативной Hi-Fi акустики

Привет, Хабр!Пожалуй, многие из вас, как и я, неравнодушны к музыке, особенно когда она звучит по-настоящему качественно. В прошлых своих статьях я уже делился опытом реализации портативной беспроводной акустики, где в качестве транспорта аудиопотока используется Wi‑Fi вместо «классического» Bluetooth. Но год эксплуатации и накопленный пользовательский опыт подтолкнули меня к созданию улучшенной версии. А что из этого вышло – читайте далее. Читать далее Read more

Point0 — фулстек TypeScript-фреймворк на Bun и React, о котором я мечтал

Хочу анонсировать свой фреймворк Point0. Это первый Bun FullStack фреймворк сопоставимый по функционалу с Next.js и TanStack Start. Однако, имеет кардинально другой DX, ради которого и был создан.Мне всегда не нравились существующие фреймворки, особенно Next.js и Remix (React Router). Но я думал, что, видимо, по-другому фреймворки просто не получаются, поэтому и не делают. А громоздкость, чужие строгие соглашения, неповоротливость архитектуры, это просто необходимое зло, с которым я должен смириться.В какой Read more

Рейтинги языков программирования в 2026 году с учётом ИИ-агентов и нейрослопа

Выбор языка программирования (ЯП) отражает стиль мышления разработчика. Однако если какой-то язык называют «популярным», это вовсе не значит, что он самый перспективный и единственно достойный глубокого изучения. Просто в данный момент он чаще на слуху по разным причинам. Это может быть следствием лёгкости освоения, востребованности в какой-то быстро растущей и специфической отрасли, ошибкой интерпретации статистических данных или просто хайпом. В этой статье вместе с разработчиками и исследователями компан Read more

В проекте пользователям регулярно нужно скачивать наборы документов в виде архива.

Boffin Claims Microsoft's 'Quantum Leap' Is Invalid Due To 'Basic Python Errors'

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.
