В силу санкционных неурядиц Китая и невозможности использования GPU в необходимых объемах, страна выбрала свой вектор в этой сфере.

Китай заявляет о 2 EFLOPS для LineShine — и это основная цифра, вокруг которой вертится вся дискуссия о новом суперкомпьютере.

GPU в то время жил в отдельном мире графики, игр, рендера.

GPU в таких задачах теряет преимущество: большинство его ядер простаивает, пока часть ждет данных из памяти.

Сделать это в условиях, когда доступ к передовым ускорителям закрыт, а весь мировой HPC движется в противоположную сторону, — отдельная история.

Но мобильное приложение может быть строже: оно заранее знает отпечаток сертификата сервера Xiaomi и проверяет именно его.

Официальная сборка Xiaomi с этим живёт, а строгий apktool отказывается собирать обратно.

При этом всевозможных конфигураций просто масса — предлагаются устройства с тачскрином и без, с IPS и TN-матрицами, с поддержкой LTE и 5G, и даже с выбором операционной системы — Android или KaiOS.

Но до сегодняшнего дня, производительный кнопочный смартфон с IPS-матрицей стоил около 7-10 тысяч рублей, что было дороговато.

Однако недавно, некий китайский бренд Rongyue представил смартфон E5 — с поддержкой 5G, мощным 8-и ядерным чипсетом, 3.5" IPS-матрицей и ценой всего в 2.800 рублей.

А на своём YouTube канале, я рассказал о Miwang Mi2S — кнопочном смартфоне 2017 года выпуска с сочной и качественной IPS-матрицей и весьма мощным чипсетом от Qualcomm.

Тем не менее в 2026 году написание кода на С или С++ без анализа на UB с помощью LLM уже следует расценивать как нарушение SOX, да и просто как банальную безответственность.

Что-ж... Спешу разочаровать: ты не стал умнее, ты просто доказал что разницы между вопрос к тебе и вопросом к ИИ больше нет.

Если вдруг еще не дошло, вот что ты ответил: "Отличный вопрос!

Ключевые соображения — при оценке этого вопроса следует иметь в виду, что, я уверен, тебе это и в голову не приходило.

То, что ты прислал вместо этого, говорит: "Мне было лень прочитать твой вопрос достаточно внимательно, чтобы ответить по-настоящему, так вот что мне нагадал чат-бот.

Экосистема LangGraph и откуда возьмется REST APIЯ уже писал про LangChain, но до сегодняшнего момента за кадром оставалась «главная троица» инструментов, без которых архитектура будет неполной: LangGraph Server, LangSmith и SDK.

Это не баг и не ошибка конфигурации.

Модель читает описание и названия аргументов и на их основе решает, стоит вызвать инструмент или нет.

Общение между FastAPI и LangGraph Server происходит через LangGraph SDK — тот самый Python-клиент, который мы разбирали в теории.

Подняли LangGraph Server через CLI, написали графы с реальными инструментами и MCP-серверами, потестировали все через LangGraph Studio.

Стекло — молибденовой группы [2]Лампа работает так: нагретый током подогреватель (платиновый, чтобы он мог работать и при атмосферном давлении) часть тепла через металлическую перемычку передаёт термопаре, та вырабатывает ЭДС (электродвижущую силу).

Новые запаянные лампы (с неиспарившимся тёмным газопоглотителем в носике) до такого давления уже откачаны, их следует калибровать, не вскрывая.

Существуют и другие, самодельные приборы и схемы для работы с ПМТ-2, например, на основе Arduino с модулем АЦП.

Схему можно несколько упростить, обойдясь без блока №3, тогда 10 мВ термопары дадут 1 В на вольтметре, и 100 мА через подогреватель — тот же 1 В показаний.

Flipper One — это не апгрейд Flipper Zero, а полностью другой проект с другими задачами.

Flipper Zero и Flipper One работают на разных уровнях протоколов и не заменяют друг другаТо есть это не «новое» и «старое» поколения одного устройства.

Flipper One не заменяет Flipper Zero — это разные категории устройств.

С Flipper One мы решили пойти еще дальше — мы открываем не только код и схематику, но и сами процессы разработки.

Фитнес-браслеты уже получили первые заказавшие, после чего побежали жаловаться на Reddit, так как устройство просто не подключается к смартфону.

Дело в том, что Google просто не успела развернуть обновление Google Health 5.0 для смартфонов на Android.

Об этом сообщил представитель компании, который пришёл успокаивать недовольных покупателей.

Забавно, что для iOS апдейт доступен несколько дней кряду.

Несмотря на миллиардные доходы и первенство в индустрии, носимые устройства Apple могут потерять свои позиции, — переживает колумнист Bloomberg Марк Гурман.

Он выделяет две проблемы, которые тихой сапой отжирают продажи Apple Watch: отсутствие значительных инноваций и изменяющиеся предпочтения потребителей.

Apple возвращается к имиджевым устройствам и собирается превратить юбилейный iPhone в произведение искусства, — сообщил инсайдер Джон Проссер с канала Front Page Tech.

Apple откажется от физически вдавливаемых кнопок в пользу Force Touch, как на кнопке «Домой» в iPhone 7, где для имитации щелчков и эффекта «продавливания» использовались специальные вибромоторчики.

Проссер считает, что горизонтальное плато с камерами, дебютировавшее вместе с iPhone Air, станет фирменной фишкой складного iPhone Ultra и затем превратится в визитную карточку уже iPhone 20.

Телевику на горизонтальном плато места не нашлось, что странно: едва ли владельцы «Прошек» захотят пересаживаться на смартфон без телевика.

Пользователь с ником Toikka оставил Pixel Watch 3 с металлическим ремешком возле беспроводной зарядки контроллера Steam.

Сами часы при этом тоже стояли на зарядке, так что металлический ремешок примагнитился к зарядной шайбе и устроил короткое замыкание.

Строго говоря, Valve не виновата: в инструкции к геймпаду компания прямым текстом просит держать зарядку подальше от металлических предметов.

Valve также рекомендует не размещать возле зарядки Steam Controller чувствительные к магнитному полю устройства, включая медицинские приборы и банковские карты, чтобы избежать их повреждения и потери данных.

Так что будьте бдительны и на всякий случай приберитесь на столе — бережёного бог бережёт.

Двенадцатый тестовый полёт Starship стал особенным: в этот раз SpaceX запустила в космос де-факто новую ракету с переработанной ступенью Super Heavy V3 и новыми двигателями Raptor 3.

Новенький Starship успешно стартовал с площадки Starbase в Техасе и благополучно добрался до орбиты, где развернул 22 тестовых макета спутников Starlink и затем вернулся обратно на Землю.

Войдя в атмосферу планеты, корабль отработал программу манёвров, по которым будут сажать следующие «Старшипы», и успешно приводнился в Индийском океане по заранее заданным координатам.

Компания настолько мощно задоминировала мировой чарт продаж, что впервые с 2023 года вернула себе долю в 21 % рынка, продемонстрировав рост на 9 % по сравнению с аналогичным периодом прошлого года.

Но в этот раз компания впервые за долгое время надломила устоявшийся тренд и смогла вырваться вперёд в первом квартале, сравняв свою долю рынка с Samsung и обойдя сразу Xiaomi и vivo, вместе взятых.

Напомним, что сейчас в систему белых списков включены только ВТБ, ПСБ, «Альфа-Банк», ГПБ и МТС Банк.

Эльвира Набиуллина также рассказала о том, что операторы связи вместе с банками смогли добиться работы банкоматов и платёжных терминалов во время блокировок мобильного интернета.

В настоящее время метод проходит тестирование, и, когда будет введён в работу, неизвестно.

Кредитные организации получили методичку, где описаны операции с наличными, которые ЦБ рекомендует рассматривать с пристальным вниманием, — сообщает РБК.

Несмотря на то, что это лишь рекомендации, необязательные к исполнению, банки воспринимают их как инструкцию к действию.

Небольшими считаются суммы от 100 000 рублей;«значительные переводы» юрлицу от физлица без открытия банковского счёта.

При наличии данных о доходах такие операции в теории не должны вызывать подозрений.

Эксперты РБК считают, что в первое время ожидается всплеск блокировок счетов и отказов в принятии наличных.

На конференции Open-Source Summit 2026 во вступительной беседе Линус Торвальдс рассказал о тенденциях в использовании AI-инструментов при разработке ядра Linux. По словам Линуса за последние шесть месяцев значительно увеличился объём коммитов. Например, при формировании последних двух релизов ядра внесено примерно на 20% больше коммитов, чем в ранее выпускавшихся ветках. Изменение объясняется тем, что за последние несколько месяцев AI-инструменты доросли до уровня качества, приемлемого для многих разработчиков, и теперь наблюдается явный рост применения AI практически по всем направлениям разработки.

CVE-идентификатор ещё не присвоен, кроме кода эксплоита информации о проблеме пока нет. Исправление доступно только в виде патча, который опубликован 20 мая и 21 мая был принят в основную ветку ядра Linux (корректирующие выпуски ядра ещё недоступны).

Сформированы корректирующие выпуски nginx 1.31.1 и 1.30.2, в которых устранена критическая уязвимость (CVE-2026-9256), позволяющая удалённо добиться выполнения кода с правами рабочего процесса nginx через отправку специально оформленного HTTP-запроса. Выявившие проблему исследователи продемонстрировали рабочий эксплоит, который будет опубликован вместе с полным описанием спустя 30 дней после исправления. Уязвимость получила кодовое имя nginx-poolslip. Проблема проявляется начиная с версии nginx 0.1.17. Для angie и freenginx на момент написания новости исправления не опубликованы.

Во FreeBSD устранено 7 уязвимостей, среди прочего позволяющих удалённо выполнить код с правами root или повысить свои привилегии в системе. Уязвимости устранены в обновлениях FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE-p9, 14.4-RELEASE-p5 и 14.3-RELEASE-p14.

But as KrebsOnSecurity observed in September 2025, those sanctions failed to target Stark’s remaining connection to the Internet — an Internet service provider based in the Netherlands called MIRhosting.

MIRhosting is operated by Andrey Nesterenko, a 39-year-old Russian native who runs the business out of the Netherlands.

And as our September 2025 report showed, WorkTitans was controlled by Nesterenko and a 57-year-old from Amsterdam named Youssef Zinad.

On top of that, WorkTitans was getting connectivity to the larger Internet solely through MIRhosting, where Zinad had worked previously.

“For this, in the name of the Church, I sincerely ask for pardon,” Leo wrote.

“These have become the new rare earths of power,” Leo said, adding that AI technology in the hands of few, profit-oriented individuals or groups represents a new form of colon…

Pope Leo XIV's first encyclical uses AI as a lens to diagnose older problems: concentrated power, eroding democracy, and a tech elite that shapes the world to its own advantage.

Earlier this year, Lucra Sports founder and CEO Dylan Robbins did something that no one else has ever done. And he shared several secrets on how he did it.

The Witcher 3 was showered in accolades and awards, and it seemed like every Twitter conversation was about it.

Looking at the mirrorSo what is this test, exactly, and what is it supposed to tell us?

The procedure is this: While the animal isn’t looking, researchers place a mark on a spot it can only see via a reflection.

A mirror is then put in front of the animal while the researchers watch.

If the animal touches or examines the mark while looking at its reflection, it comprehends that the figure in the mirror is itself.

Why is this a test of self-awareness in the first place?

For migrant workers trapped onboard Chinese distant water fishing fleets, cutting the fins off sharks as they writhe violently on rusted decks in the Indian Ocean isn’t accidental.

Shark populations have declined by more than 70 percent since 1970, with more than one-third of all shark and ray species now threatened with extinction.

Each year, however, an estimated 80 million are caught and killed either intentionally or as bycatch.

While botched sharks sink slowly to their deaths, the rate of shark finning has increased in recent decades.

Demand is largely driven by a growing demand for shark fin soup and traditional medicinal cures in East and Southeast Asia.

At least four Russian military satellites changed their orbits to match that of a Finnish-American radar surveillance satellite in the last week, raising questions about Russia’s intentions amid an ever-expanding standoff high above Earth.

Over the last week or so, the four satellites adjusted their inclinations—the angles of their orbits to the equator—by less than a degree.

The upshot is that these four Russian satellites are now positioned to routinely pass near a commercial radar surveillance satellite operated by the Finnish-American company ICEYE.

This imaging platform, named ICEYE-X36, is part of a fleet of satellites providing all-weather overhead radar images to the US military and…

The latest numbers already place the outbreak as the third largest on record, though it was only first reported a week ago, on May 15.

And WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the outbreak is still “spreading rapidly.”A revised WHO assessment has moved the risk level from “high” to “very high” at the national level, while risk remains “high” at the regional level and “low” at the global level, Tedros added.

The virus behind the Ebola outbreak is the uncommon Bundibugyo virus, which doesn’t have established vaccines or therapeutics.

That leaves active case finding, isolation, and contact tracing as the primary tools to halt the spread.

Pilots’ voices from the last seconds of a fatal cargo plane crash have been re-created by Internet sleuths using software and AI tools.

The three pilots aboard the aircraft, including a relief pilot, were killed.

European law enforcement say they hacked into a VPN (virtual private network) service used for ransomware attacks and other crimes, and identified thousands of users before shutting the VPN down and arresting its administrator.

Europol announced yesterday the results of the operation against the service, First VPN.

The First VPN website now displays a message saying the domain was seized by a joint international law enforcement action.

“For years, the service, known as ‘First VPN,’ was promoted on Russian-speaking cybercrime forums as a trusted tool for remaining beyond the reach of law enforcement.

Security vendor Bitdefender helped law enforcement conduct the operation, Europol said.

After all, there hasn’t been a new film in the Star Wars franchise since 2019’s The Rise of Skywalker wrapped up the three trilogies that make up the so-called “Skywalker Saga.”The new film is … fine.

It’s an average Star Wars outing, and it will give families a solid Memorial Day Weekend entertainment option.

It’s just not the spectacular home run that might have helped launch the flagging franchise into an exciting new era, and diehard Star Wars fans hoping for more are probably going to be disappointed.

The Texas Attorney General has sued Meta over allegations that the company’s WhatsApp messenger, used by more than 3 billion people, doesn’t provide the end-to-end encryption (E2EE) it has long claimed.

Since at least 2016, Meta (then named Facebook) has said WhatsApp provides robust end-to-end encryption, meaning that messages are encrypted on a sender’s device with keys that are available only to the receiver’s.

In a complaint filed Thursday, Texas AG attorneys said Meta’s claims are false and that the company can and does read the unencrypted contents of WhatsApp messages.

He said, she saidThe sole factual evidence cited for the claims is an article published last month by Bloomberg.

Tether announced it will launch a cryptocurrency called GELT that's tied to the official currency of the country of Georgia.

Unlike most cryptocurrency, stablecoins are tied to a currency that's officially issued by a government.

In this case, GELT will be tied to the Georgian Lari and has support from the Georgian government.

According to Tether, the GELT will be a "digital representation of the Georgian Lari" that allows for "lower transaction costs, near-instant settlement, programmable payments" and more.

As for GELT, Tether said more details on the stablecoin's structure, rollout and implementation will be announced later.

Pope Leo XIV has taken a stronger stand against AI.

"These systems merely imitate certain functions of human intelligence.

In doing so, they often surpass human intelligence in speed and computational capacity, offering tangible benefits across many fields," Pope Leo stated.

Leo warned that such technology — and any profits that come with it — shouldn't be used to justify systematic job loss.

Pope Leo's remarks weren't made against AI as a whole, stating that it shouldn't be seen "as a force antagonistic to humanity."

I almost don't want to call Meshchera a match-three game because I fear that kind of undersells how captivating it is.

The Trump administration is planning to automatically install its White House app on government employees' work phones, according to a report from Government Executive.

The Trump administration released the White House app two months ago, with the promise of offering "unfiltered, real-time upgrades straight from the source."

Olivia Wales, a White House spokesperson, told the outlet that "government devices typically include pre-installed apps that provide value to government employees' day-to-day work."

However, the White House app could provide for privacy risks instead, according to some cybersecurity experts.

Now that the app will be found on government employee phones, it could introduc…

Rhode Island is the latest state to challenge prediction markets on the legality of sports betting within its jurisdiction.

As reported by The Providence Journal, opposing lawsuits from the state's attorney general, Peter Neronha, and Kalshi were filed against each other earlier this week.

Still, Rhode Island's attorney general is looking for a permanent court-ordered ban that prevents Kalshi and Polymarket from offering "sports-related events contract" in the state.

While the dual lawsuits only cover the legality in Rhode Island, its eventual ruling could create a major precedent on how prediction markets operate in other states.

More recently, Minnesota passed a bill that includes a ban o…

The Ansel Adams Publishing Rights Trust released a statement this weekend condemning the unauthorized use of the photographer's name and work for the creation of an "AI-generated color version" of Adams' "Moonrise, Hernandez, New Mexico."

According to the trust, the piece was up for sale last month at the Association of International Photography Art Dealers' (AIPAD) The Photography Show.

Interestingly, the trust didn't take issue with the involvement of AI, noting that Adams "was remarkably prescient about—and excited by—the potential of computers to transform photography."

The issue is that the exhibitor allegedly just straight up ripped off the artist's work to make money off of it.

Ayaneo's next retro gaming handheld is revisiting the iconic Game Boy design once again.

The handheld maker announced the Konkr Pocket Block, an "extremely compact" device that will also pack in AI features.

Ayaneo didn't detail what these AI features are, nor what makes the Konkr Pocket Block "the world's first AI handheld," but we're expecting it to be much cheaper than the company's premium handhelds that can start at more than $1,000.

However, instead the sleek and minimalist look of its other vertical handhelds, Ayaneo went with "retro aesthetics" and a pocketable form factor for the Konkr Pocket Block.

As usual, Ayaneo only showed off what the Konkr Pocket Block looks like and said it…

NASA has released the images Psyche took when it did a Mars flyby to get a gravity assist from the red planet on its way to the metallic asteroid 16 Psyche.

Psyche took an image of the crater, measuring 290 miles in diameter, shortly after its closest approach with the planet.

Psyche was also able to take a high-resolution photo of the southern pole of Mars after its closest approach.

NASA/JPL-Caltech/ASUBefore Psyche took those images, however, the spacecraft took a photo showing a crescent Mars.

The first issue of Of the Earth establishes the story's underlying folklore right away, opening with an excerpt from a book about a mythical monster in the west: the Wildcatter.

Cinemagoal, the app known for illegally rebroadcasting streaming content from Netflix, Disney+, Spotify and more, is the latest pirate ship to sink.

The Italian authority said the app ran 24 hours a day, retransmitting access codes from legitimate subscriptions to fake accounts that streamed media to Cinemagoal subscribers.

According to the Guardia di Finanza, the app's design was smart enough to get around a platform's security checks and didn't require a connection to a user's IP address, making it harder to track.

Cinemagoal subscriptions went for 40 to 130 euros, between $46 to $151, a year and were paid through hard-to-trace methods, like cryptocurrency or fake foreign bank accounts, t…

Chicken or artificial eggColossal Biosciences, the "de-extinction" biotech company best known for its claims of reviving the dire wolf, announced this week that it has hatched 26 healthy chicks from 3D-printed artificial eggshells.

According to its website, the Chinese startup is dropping the price for its latest flagship model, DeepSeek V4 Pro, to a fourth of its original price.

This latest price update makes permanent the 75 percent discount promotion that was previously supposed to end on May 31, 2026.

As seen on the website's pricing page, the DeepSeek V4 Pro prices now range from $0.003625 to $0.87 per one million tokens, compared to the previous range between $0.0145 to $3.48 for every million tokens.

The company's decision to permanently reduce the price comes a month after it released its V4 models, Pro and Flash, which it claimed would welcome the "era of cost-effective 1M context length."

As smart health tech moves from post-detection to prediction models, the need for complete tracking data becomes more crucial than ever.

A new idea just might solve any problems related to data gaps in health trackers: charging through body heat.

Additionally, the battery technology could lower costs compared to existing health monitoring sensors.

The concept isn’t new—there was the Matrix PowerWatch charged by body heat back in 2017—but this new project offers significantly longer battery life with a much smaller footprint than traditional health tracking solutions.

After all, an unkillable health tracker could certainly be more useful than our current, limited-life models.

Samsung intends to add a fainting-prediction sensor to the Galaxy Watch in the near future.

Fainting alone is bad enough, but fainting spells often come with secondary injuries because signs and symptoms can come on rapidly.

Oura has cornered the U.S. smart ring market, with its latest model, the Oura Ring 4, highly rated across the board.

While there are other smart rings on the market, including the Samsung Galaxy Ring, Evie Ring, and RingConn, none have earned brand loyalty comparable to Oura’s.

Rather than reach a royalties agreement with Oura, Ultrahuman pulled its Ring Air from the shelves and began work on the Ring Pro, Ultrahuman’s third-generation smart ring.

And there could definitely be a few benefits to choosing the Ring Pro over the Oura Ring 4.

International smart ring enthusiasts have been able to get their hands on the Ultrahuman Ring Pro while Ultrahuman waited on U.S. Customs and Border Pr…

Remarkably, the new approach preserves the natural structure of the silk fibers and mostly depends on carefully controlled temperatures and pressures to toughen up the silk.

For the study, Li and colleagues first treated commercially available silk fibers with sodium carbonate to remove the sticky covering produced by silk moths.

Under these conditions, remarkably, the silk fibers bundled up and fused together, taking a new form that somehow resembled wood in structure.

The idea is to bring in industrial and commercial partners willing to try incorporating the fused silk into sensors and other tech, the researchers added.

With a new Star Wars movie in theaters, the first in seven years, we’ve decided to put it up against the rest of the series in what we’re calling a ranking of “Star Wars” movies.

If you’ve ever had a YouTube video flagged for a copyright violation, it may have been because of a feature called Content ID that music publishers absolutely love.

It allows copyright holders to crawl YouTube and automatically detect copyrighted content.

As the Times points out, Content ID isn’t great at finding AI-narrated audiobooks.

The author holds a copyright on the text, which can be slightly changed by the creator of the YouTube video while still leaving the book largely intact—good enough for casual listeners anyway.

And I don’t mean because it’s robbing John Grisham of audiobook sales, which is bad, but not the gravest injustice in the universe.

A new report from Bloomberg raises some uncomfortable questions about Salesforce’s marketing around Agentforce, the company’s AI platform.

Conventional wisdom—true or not—holds that we’re in the midst of something called the “SaaSpocalypse,” brought about by AI.

But Salesforce hasn’t been without its rejoinders to this narrative—even if you set aside Agentforce.

Also, Salesforce is far from the only company that created marketing materials featuring AI-related promises that have noticeably not materialized.

It knows the user and their itinerary, instead of asking a million tedious questions, and it simply solves the problem for them.

And just as he’s trying to get a breather, he’s yanked back into the reality he’s made with…the death of Bear and Nikki’s friend Sarah.

Just when the latter’s about to confess her feelings for Bear, Wish Nikki literally headbutts into the situation, then viciously slams Sarah’s face into a brick until it’s unrecognizable.

Virtually all CEOs surveyed in a recent study said they expect corporate AI initiatives to lead to layoffs within the next two years.

According to consulting firm Mercer’s Global Talent Trends report, 99% of CEOs are prepared for AI-driven layoffs in the short term.

According to a recent survey by yet another consulting firm, most of the AI-driven headcount reduction that CEOs are bracing for is expected to focus on early-career positions.

That impact is not hypothetical and has already landed, according to several studies published over the past year.

According to Mercer’s survey, only 44% of employees reported thriving at work in 2026, down from 66% in 2024, and anxiety over AI-driven job…

Nicolas Winding Refn, director of The Neon Demon and the upcoming Her Private Hell, has found his next project in Maniac Cop.

After the box office and awards success of The Substance—and probably Refn’s own pedigree—the studio’s said to be all in on giving this a theatrical release.

The original Maniac Cop, directed by Will Lustig, released in 1988 and starred Robert Z’Dar as an ex-cop back from the dead and killing the brothers in arms who framed him.

As far this new one’s concerned, Mubi founder/CEO Efe Cakarel said it’s “not a remake in Nicolas’ hands.

A pair of AirPods is one of the best options out there for putting content in your ears.

But all that complexity during use can necessitate granular controls and a data display, and the existing AirPods controls leave a lot to be desired.

A new report from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, however, strongly suggests that Apple has heard the outcry from users.

Gurman says that with the release of iOS 27, (and the accompanying OS updates for Mac and iPads) Apple is “revamping the AirPods settings menu to be more functional.” Though, crucially, he says AirPods aren’t getting an app of their own like the one for the Apple Watch.

Months after Stranger Things ended, the show is still finding new things to do.

Recently, the first real outfit worn by Millie Bobby Brown’s Eleven—that’d be her pink dress, flannel jacket, and converse—was recently donated to the museum.

During the event, the museum’s entertainment curator Ryan Lintelman called the dress a “brilliant illustration of Eleven’s journey to discover herself and claim her power.

You could argue, and people have, that the top gay dating apps are now optimized for monetization and juicing engagement loops.

Grindr, with its 15 million monthly active users, is drowning in ads while pushing expensive upsells on users.

As public backlash against popular queer apps continues to mount, a batch of tech entrepreneurs are scrambling to meet the demand by doubling down on privacy-conscious, community-driven alternatives.

It was built on a decentralized identity system, meaning MeetMarket doesn’t store users’ emails, passwords, or personal information.

Users store everything on their device, giving them full control and ownership over their data and how it’s shared.

If you're still on Windows 10, and you don't meet the minimum requirements for Windows 11—which many older PCs don't—then there is a potential solution in the form of Tiny11.

This unofficial, stripped-down version of Windows 11 cuts out the clutter for a leaner, more lightweight experience, and it can run on machines that don't support the full-fat Windows 11 released by Microsoft.

A decade ago, programs to reward researchers for submitting software vulnerability findings were just starting to go mainstream.

Vulnerability disclosure and “bug bounty” programs represented a paradigm shift years in the making—moving institutions from hostility and defensiveness about security research findings to acknowledgement that receiving input and releasing fixes was necessary.

When Apple finally announced a bug bounty in 2016, the top reward was $200,000.

This abundance is changing the economics of bug bounties for both institutions soliciting submissions and researchers, some of whom currently make a living or supplement their income with bug hunting.

The Psyche probe, launched in October 2023 on its way to the metallic asteroid it studies, recently performed a flyby of Mars to take advantage of its gravitational pull and continue its trajectory toward the asteroid belt.

During the maneuver, the spacecraft obtained new images of the red planet.

Psyche passed within 4,609 kilometers, or 2,864 miles, of the Martian surface, and was boosted to a higher velocity after completing the gravity assist.

On the approach, NASA activated onboard cameras, magnetometers, and gamma ray and neutron spectrometers to calibrate each instrument using the planet's atmosphere and terrain.

Topo Designs may just make the best bags in the world.

Project Open Hand, a nonprofit founded in 1985 by local grandmother and HIV-awareness advocate Ruth Brinker, prepares and packages meals to meet the diverse nutritional requirements of people who need them.

But it takes many people to make these meals, and Project Open Hand has struggled to entice volunteers to help fill the meal kits.

The organization is housed in a four-story building in San Francisco’s Tenderloin district.

Some of them are there in need of the free meals, some are staff and volunteers there to make the food and keep the place running.

In popular culture, it is believed that its pungent smell repels these insects, which, in addition to causing sleepless nights, transmit diseases such as dengue fever or malaria.

To do so, the team used fruit flies, a species that often mates on food, as a model organism.

Based on this behavior, the researchers hypothesized that some fruits and vegetables might contain substances capable of altering the reproductive processes of these insects.

The team then conducted a chemical analysis of the garlic to identify the compound responsible for the effect.

In practice, this substance acts on a sensory receptor present in the fly's taste organs, known as TrpA1.

Security researchers say 5,500 GitHub repositories have been affected by the attack.

A new report in Security Week warns about a cyberattack that infected 5,561 GitHub open-source repositories with malware.

Cybersecurity researchers at SafeDep detailed how the May 18 supply chain attack, dubbed Megalodon, took advantage of GitHub Actions workflows to ultimately harvest user credentials and other data.

A full list of the compromised GitHub repositories is available in the SafeDep security report.

The blog post includes tips for open-source projects on how "to secure your GitHub Actions workflows" to prevent exactly these types of attacks in the future.

There is a category of production incident that engineering teams are not tracking yet — because it doesn't fit any existing postmortem template. The agent initiated an action. The action was technically correct given the agent's context. The context was incomplete. The infrastructure cascaded. And, by the time the incident review happened, three teams were arguing about whether it was an agent failure or an infrastructure failure, because the frameworks for thinking about these two things have never been connected. The scale of this exposure is no longer theoretical. Seventy-nine percent of organizations now have some form of AI agent in production, with 96% planning expansion. Gartner pre…

On May 19, 633 malicious npm package versions passed Sigstore provenance verification. They were cleared by the system because the attacker had generated valid signing certificates from a compromised maintainer account.Sigstore worked exactly as designed: it verified the package was built in a CI environment, confirmed a valid certificate was issued, and recorded everything in the transparency log. What it cannot do is determine whether the person holding the credentials authorized the publish — and that gap turned the last automated trust signal in npm into camouflage.One day earlier, StepSecurity documented an attack on the Nx Console VS Code extension, a widely used developer tool with m…

When agentic workflows fail, developers often assume the problem lies in the underlying model’s reasoning abilities. In reality, the limited information provided by the retrieval interface is often the primary limiting factor.Researchers at multiple universities propose a technique called direct corpus interaction (DCI) that lets agents bypass embedding models entirely, searching raw corpora directly using standard command-line tools.The limits of classic retrievalIn classic retrieval systems such as RAG, documents are chunked, converted into vector representations (or embeddings), and indexed offline in a vector database. When an AI system processes a query, a retriever filters the entire …

Dun & Bradstreet has spent over 180 years building a comprehensive commercial database. Its Commercial Graph, covering 642 million businesses and their relationships, corporate hierarchies and risk profiles, was designed for people.

AI agents cannot do any of those things.When D&B's customers started pushing agents into credit, procurement and supply chain workflows, the Commercial Graph that had reliably served nearly 200,000 customers globally became a problem. The systems built to serve human analysts were the wrong architecture for machines. So D&B rebuilt."…

The AI industry has fully entered the "agent era," a paradigm where AI models do far more than generate text — they now actively plan, execute, and course-correct complex tasks over days rather than seconds. Thus, it's perhaps unsurprising to see Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba's famed Qwen Team of AI researchers release a model capable of performing autonomous agentic AI work over multiple days: that model has arrived in the form of Qwen3.7-Max which the company reports in a blog post achieved "~35 hours of continuous autonomous execution" — albeit, in a proprietary, not open source format, as prior Qwen Team releases were.This is also to be expected — it's what many analysts and industry…

AI agents forget. Every time a coding assistant loses track of a debugging thread, or a data analysis agent re-ingests the same context it already processed, the team pays in latency, token costs, and brittle workflows. The fix most teams reach for — expanding the context window or adding more RAG — is increasingly expensive and still doesn't reliably work.To address this, researchers from Mind Lab and several universities proposed delta-mem, an efficient technique that compresses the model’s historical information into a dynamically updated matrix without changing the model itself. The resulting module adds just 0.12% of the backbone model's parameters — compared to 76.40% for one leading …

Presented by Veriff Americans can’t reliably distinguish real from AI-generated content, and that’s not just a media literacy problem; it’s a direct threat to how businesses verify identity online.New research finds that while many people are aware of deepfakes, their ability to distinguish them from reality is barely better than a coin flip. A 2026 survey conducted by Veriff and Kantar among 3,000 respondents in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Brazil shows Americans scoring just 0.07 on a scale where 0 represents random guessing.If people can’t distinguish authentic visual content, they can’t reliably distinguish authentic identities.

Every MFA check passed. Every login was legitimate. The compliance dashboard was green across every identity control.

The credential was real. The multi-factor challenge was answered correctly. The system performed exactly as designed. It authenticated the user at the front door and never looked again.

Resolve AI, the production-operations startup backed by Greylock and Lightspeed Venture Partners, today announced a sweeping expansion of its platform that introduces always-on background agents, a redesigned investigation architecture, and a shared workspace where engineers and AI agents collaborate in real time on live incidents.The centerpiece of the release is a new multi-agent investigation system developed by Resolve AI's in-house research lab.

At Google I/O, the company unveiled Managed Agents in its Gemini API — a service that promises to collapse weeks of agent deployment work into a single API call. It's also a sign that Google believes its ecosystem, including the newly launched Antigravity CLI, is ready to own the execution layer end-to-end.Before a single agent is written, teams are already spending days on the unglamorous work: standing up execution environments, managing sandboxes, wiring tool call infrastructure.

RAG architectures are good at one thing: surfacing semantically relevant documents.

The key capability: agents that are non-regressive, able to freeze validated sequences of actions and compound on them over time.“The key point you want is non-regressivity: How do you make sure that, when the agent will generate something new, you can compound on the previous discoveries?” said Yann Bilien, Rippletid’s co-founder and chief scientific officer. Why RAG doesn…

The Copenhagen agtech has already mapped nine times more European farmland than every Danish agricultural drone combined.

Two well-known Nordic investors want the United States next.

The capital sits alongside non-dilutive funding from Denmark’s EIFO, the European Space Agency, and Innovation Fund Denmark.

The headline figure for the technology, as PerPlant tells it, is a ninety per cent reduction in herbicide use for an average Danish farmer with around 200 hectares of land.

The next stop, according to the company, is the United States.

IBM India’s Sandip Patel says the country can become the world’s AI skill capital by 2030.

To get there, the AI-literate share of India’s technology workforce will have to rise from around thirty per cent today to nearly fifty-seven per cent by the end of the decade.

That is the gap between 200 million and 350 million workers, and it is meant to close in less than five years.

Coding, ticket handling, junior analyst work: the tasks that have, until recently, scaled with headcount are now scaling with model calls.

Only fifteen per cent are scaling AI through cross-functional investment; the remaining eighty-five per cent are stuck in pilots.

That spread, from Copenhagen at 42 per cent down to Bucharest at five, is where any honest editorial about European AI adoption has to begin.

The deeper story is that European AI adoption is low for the same reasons European tech has been small for twenty years.

The OECD’s December 2025 report on AI adoption by small and medium-sized enterprises, prepared for the G7 presidency, found that half of all surveyed SMEs cite a skills shortage as their primary barrier to adoption.

Regulation is not the main thing slowing European AI adoption.

Denmark’s enterprise AI adoption is now higher than the US enterprise average reported by Stanford.

The Claude pullback is the most credible signal yet that the unit economics of enterprise AI coding do not, at current token prices, work.

By March, Naga’s own figures had Claude Code use jumping from 32 per cent to 84 per cent of his roughly 5,000-engineer organisation.

Inside Experiences and Devices, Claude Code had become, by several accounts, the preferred tool.

The cost of a working AI coding agent compared to the cost of an additional senior engineer is, even at current prices, often favourable on a per-feature basis.

Enterprises will keep buying AI coding tools, because the productivity is real and the competitive pressure is unforgiving.

Christopher Olah, Anthropic’s co-founder and the head of its interpretability research, used his seat at the Vatican on Monday to make an argument that no leader of a major AI firm has previously made on a platform of that scale: the development of frontier AI cannot be left to frontier AI labs.

Olah spoke at the formal presentation of Pope Leo XIV’s first encyclical, Magnifica humanitas, in the Vatican Synod Hall.

“Every frontier AI lab,” he said, “operates inside a set of incentives and constraints that can sometimes conflict with doing the right thing.”Even well-intentioned researchers, he added, remain inside those forces.

Anthropic’s presence at the Vatican has already become, in the p…

Pope Leo XIV used the first encyclical of his pontificate, published in Rome on Monday, to call for the disarmament of artificial intelligence.

“To disarm means discrediting the assumption that technical power automatically confers the right to govern,” the pope wrote.

The framing is deliberate: this encyclical is offered as its successor for the AI age.

Christopher Olah, Anthropic’s co-founder and head of interpretability research, presented alongside cardinals at the Vatican Synod Hall on Monday morning.

Pope Leo XIV presented it personally rather than delegating it to cardinals, a break with tradition.

The 71,000-square-metre Hagastaden campus, signed with Atrium Ljungberg and Castellum, ends more than two decades in the suburb once branded Sweden’s Silicon Valley.

Annual rent to Atrium Ljungberg lands at about 360m kronor ($39m) at 2026 levels.

That sits on top of the 24,000-square-metre Infinity contract Castellum signed previously, expected to be ready by late 2027.

Office vacancy rates in Kista ran at 26.7% in the first quarter of 2026, more than double the central Stockholm rate, according to Colliers data cited by Bloomberg.

Atrium Ljungberg shares rose as much as 5.1% on Monday, the most since April 8, and Castellum gained 2.1%.

UK-domiciled companies raised $10.5bn of venture capital between January and April 2026, roughly double the figure for the same period last year, according to research published by GlobalData on Monday.

Three of those rounds, the firm says, account for more than 40% of the total.

Wayve, the London-based self-driving company, raised $1.2bn in February at an $8.6bn valuation, with Microsoft, Nvidia, Uber, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, and Stellantis on the cap table.

Its share of global VC deal volume is about 7%, and its share of global value about 3%.

Total value crossed $10bn unusually fast; volume did not.

Blue Origin will spend $600m on a new upper-stage manufacturing facility at its Rocket Park campus in Cape Canaveral, Florida governor Ron DeSantis announced on Friday.

The two companies are no longer competing on the same terms; the question is whether industrial capacity, rather than capital markets, can keep Blue Origin in the conversation.

Blue Origin is, as the company noted, currently the only firm that both manufactures and launches rockets from the state.

The state has now backed Blue Origin’s pad infrastructure, its hypergolic fuelling facility, and now its upper-stage factory through the Spaceport Improvement Program.

The next decision sits with Blue Origin: how quickly the buildi…

Schneider Electric expects its India data-centre business to grow faster than the rest of the company, and faster than the core electrification and automation businesses that have driven its results everywhere else.

Globally, roughly 30% of Schneider’s revenue, which the company reports at about €40bn a year, already comes from data centres.

The India backdrop is unusual in the same way the country’s broader AI infrastructure story has become unusual.

Larsen & Toubro announced earlier this year that it would partner with Nvidia to build a sovereign AI factory in Chennai.

Power supply, the harder constraint behind every AI data-centre announcement, was not addressed directly.

A good password manager generates unique credentials for every account, fills them automatically, and encrypts the vault with a master password only you know.

Each of these is a credential management failure waiting to become a breach.

Rather than building a traditional PAM platform and bolting on a password manager, Keeper started with consumer-grade password management and expanded upwards into enterprise credential governance, privileged access management, and secrets management.

For context, that Business plan at $4 per user per month is less than half the cost of comparable PAM platforms, and it includes password management, secrets management, and privileged session recording in a sin…

Delivery Hero confirmed on Saturday that Uber has tabled a formal takeover offer for the Berlin-based food-delivery group, at €33 a share.

Uber’s chief executive Dara Khosrowshahi flew to meet Delivery Hero’s supervisory board chair Kristin Skogen Lund in person before the bid was filed, the FT reported.

Delivery Hero, for its part, said only that it remains “fully focused” on the strategic review already underway and declined to disclose further terms.

Bolting Delivery Hero onto the delivery leg fits the framing.

The 1.76% discount to Delivery Hero’s Friday close gives investors arguing for €40 a clear rhetorical wedge, and gives the German board cover to ask for more.

TL;DR The ECB is convening banks on Tuesday to address cybersecurity risks from AI models like Anthropic’s Mythos, which has found thousands of zero-day vulnerabilities.

Executive board member Frank Elderson says banks must patch faster because AI can exploit flaws within minutes of a fix’s release.

AI models can now reverse-engineer software fixes within minutes of their release, meaning that the window between a vulnerability being patched and being exploited has collapsed.

French AI startup Mistral AI is in discussions with European banks about deploying its own cybersecurity model, designed to identify vulnerabilities in the same way Mythos does.

The question is whether the regulation’s…

The Nikkei broke 65,000 for the first time on Monday, and SoftBank, the listed proxy for both OpenAI and Arm, did much of the lifting.

SoftBank invested $32.4bn in OpenAI during the fiscal year that ended in March, chief financial officer Yoshimitsu Goto told the company’s earnings call this month.

The company’s net asset value, around $300bn in mid-May, swings significantly with movements in Arm and OpenAI on any given week.

The asymmetry, for the next six months, is procedural: the date of the IPO filing, the price range, and the eventual first-day mark.

Son has spent much of the past year arguing, in his characteristic register, that OpenAI is the most important technology shift of the c…

Huawei used the opening day of the IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems in Shanghai on Monday to argue that the global semiconductor industry needs a different organising principle, and that it has one ready.

He Tingbo, who runs Huawei’s semiconductor business and chairs its Scientist Committee, told the conference the company has spent the past six years developing what it calls the Tau (τ) Scaling Law, and is now applying it across its chip line.

The τ Scaling Law puts the time it takes for signals and data to move through a chip and its surrounding system at the centre of design instead, according to the company’s announcement.

Huawei has responded by trying to design aro…

Health app on the MacApple brought the Health app to the iPad two years ago.

iPhone Mirroring on iPadThe Mac introduced iPhone Mirroring last year, and it’s surprisingly useful for accessing and controlling iPhone apps that aren’t on the Mac (like Health).

iPad Mirroring on MacSure, it may not be for everyone, but it’s the logical conclusion of Apple’s big Continuity play.

Upgraded Journal app on the MacThe Journal app originated on the iPhone before coming to iPadOS and macOS last year.

I think the limit is 12 app windows at a time.

For the better part of a year, we’ve been hearing about Project Mulberry: Apple’s AI-powered health coach.

According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the features should still be on track for iOS 27, though they may not release until later in the cycle.

On the other hand, Apple is apparently going to greatly improve Apple Watch heart-rate tracking with watchOS 27, which could tie in nicely with Apple’s eventual health coach.

I don’t expect features from that endeavor to launch until later in the iOS 27 update cycle.

It’s still very possible that the redesigned Health app itself will still debut in iOS 27, but Apple’s AI health coach (and subsequent Apple Health+ subscription) are seemingly delay…

According to this weekend’s Power On newsletter, Apple’s image generation models – used in Genmoji and Image Playground – will be receiving a ‘big boost’ in visual quality.

When Image Playground and Genmoji debuted in iOS 18.2, the image fidelity was certainly far from impressive.

Genmoji was generally okay, but Image Playground was incredibly poor – especially in comparison to other image generation tools.

Granted, there is the fact that Image Playground and Genmoji are powered by on-device models.

Lastly, Apple will be adding support for other AI image generation models in Image Playground.

According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple may be conceding AirPlay as a system-level default, and alternative streaming protocols may be able to tap into iOS at a native level, starting with iOS 27.

Google Cast (formerly Chromecast) is most certainly the most popular third-party protocol that’d take advantage of this.

Nonetheless, it theoretically means that any smart speaker or streaming device manufacturer could offer native integration with iOS, without needing to support AirPlay or rely on Bluetooth.

The report doesn’t necessarily say that verbatim, but if you’re not in the EU, I wouldn’t have high hopes for getting native Google Cast integration – at least for now.

Personally, most h…

While a dedicated ‘AirPods’ app does not seem to be on the cards, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports that Apple is working on software improvements relating to how users can modify settings for their AirPods and AirPods Pro.

Bloomberg says iOS 27 will significantly change the layout of the AirPods menu in Settings app.

The AirPods settings screen automatically appears at the top of the Settings app when you have a pair of AirPods connected to your phone.

Whereas Apple Watch and Vision Pro get a dedicated companion app on the iPhone’s home screen, AirPods will still be confined to settings, though.

Bloomberg says these new AirPods settings UI changes should be part of iOS 27, iPadOS 27 and macO…

Customizable camera UIRight now, the Camera app interface is pretty fixed in place, with controls only being exposed as needed – and the rest being tucked away in a menu.

With the new approach, users will be able to choose which features appear in the Camera app — and where they’re placed.

These changes are apparently part of an effort to make the Camera app better suited for professionals – with new advanced options being added to the Camera app.

First, Apple will be integrating Visual Intelligence in the Camera app, in the form of a new Siri mode.

This’ll expose Visual Intelligence to far more users, which is primarily accessible in a separate app behind Camera Control.

Apple has just registered a new subdomain record ahead of WWDC: genai.apple.com.

As mentioned earlier, Apple will finally be living up to the promises it made two years ago – and more.

Beyond what it announced at WWDC 2024, Apple will also reportedly be introducing a new Siri app.

Wrap upOther Apple Intelligence upgrades coming at WWDC 2026 include the ability to generate wallet passes from physical tickets, new editing features in the Photos app, and additional functionality for Visual Intelligence.

Besides Apple Intelligence, Apple is largely expected to focus on performance improvements and stability beyond all else.

While my preferred way to use an iPhone is with no case or screen protector, I’m actually enjoying both on iPhone 17 Pro and can recommend them.

Five years ago, Apple introduced Ceramic Shield glass to the iPhone screen.

I haven’t shattered an iPhone screen yet, but I consistently pick up two or three deep scratches after a year of use.

I’d much prefer a nano texture iPhone without the slight rainbow effect and drop in brightness.

A minimal case for just-in-case situationsThen there’s the matter of the iPhone case.

This is a weekly 9to5Mac series where we showcase the latest apps in the indie app world.

Insta360, named for its panoramic action camera, is the latest company to jump on the magnetic selfie screen for iPhone trend.

Snap is a 3.5-inch, 4K touchscreen monitor for your iPhoneIn March, my colleague Fernando Silva opened my eyes to the world of rear touchscreen iPhone cases.

That makes me look at the Insta360 Snap Selfie Screen a little more closely than I might otherwise.

Insta360 Snap comes in two flavors: one for $79.99 without a light, and one for $10 more that includes an adjustable light.

Insta360 Snap is available to purchase from Insta360 and Amazon now after first launching in April.

But one thing I’ve noticed over the years is that when I invest a little more in premium accessories, they tend to last much longer.

I wanted to share some of my favorite premium desk accessories that would benefit anyone’s setup, whether for gaming, work, or leisure.

I am a huge fan of this new wave and trend of high-powered desk charging stations.

While this is not as pricey as a Herman Miller, it is a premium desk chair that starts at $929.

Final thoughtsThe best thing about any desk setup is that it’s so personal and subjective.

After being introduced at CES, Belkin has recently started shipping some of its newest MagSafe and Qi2 products for 2026.

First up is their slim Qi2 battery bank for iPhone – sporting a built in kickstand.

This is by no means the first slim 5000mAh MagSafe battery bank for iPhone, but the Belkin BoostCharge Slim has one standout feature: a kickstand.

Beyond the kickstand, the Belkin BoostCharge Slim is about everything you’d expect from a 5000mAh MagSafe battery bank.

Despite its slim design, I will say – the BoostCharge Slim surprisingly doesn’t get hot.

OpenAI согласилась приобрести Astral, которая создает *современные* инструменты на Python для разработчиков, чтобы интегрировать её команду в Codex.

Ну и да, в MacBook Neo два порта USB‑C с разными характеристиками: один — USB 3.0 (Type‑C) со скоростью передачи до 10 Гбит/с, другой — USB 2.0 (Type‑C), ограниченный 480 Мбит/с.Интересно, что внешней маркировки я на них не увидел, видимо, "должны знать" :)🔗 https://www.macrumors.com/2026/03/04/macbook-neo-features-two-different-usb-ports/

Первые впечатления от MacBook Neo — новый самый младший ноутбук от Apple. Он вообще не кажется бюджетным: яркий дисплей и алюминиевый корпус, но клавиатура немного хлипкая, что предсказуемо было.Теперь я не очень понимаю, в чем его отличие от айпада. Видимо, выбор между "встроенная клавиатура" и "тач экран". Ну, рано или поздно они должны будут сойтись.https://www.engadget.com/computing/laptops/macbook-neo-hands-on-apples-599-laptop-feels-shockingly-great-142313318.html

Сразу две новости рядом: Eight Sleep, продающая умные аксессуары для матрасов, которые отслеживают режим сна и регулируют температуру, привлекла $50 млн при оценке в $1,5 млрд, тогда как в 2021 году её оценка составляла $500 млн. И это для меня удивительно - все тесты показали что их матрасы прямо никуда не годятся по точности отслеживания. Идея регуляции температуры во время сна все еще привлекательна, жаль что их не возят в разные страны.В это же время Whoop, производящая фитнес‑браслеты без экранов, сообщает, что планирует увеличить численность персонала максимум на 75% в 2026 году, создав более 600 должностей в преддверии вероятного IPO.

Polymarket удаляет долго существовавшие рынки, позволявшие пользователям делать ставки на вероятность ядерного взрыва на фоне ударов по Ирану.

В этом году, как вы понимаете, интерес существенно бОльший.Я не понимаю, чем людям помешали эти ставки, единственная идея — сейчас сильно больше шансы на "манипуляцию", т.е. ради высокой выплаты можно попытаться что-нибудь взорвать.🔗 https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2026/03/04/polymarket-shelves-nuclear-detonation-markets-after-outcry

Тут происходит небольшая революция — появился репозиторий, в котором, как утверждается, научились заниматься обучением нейронок на чипах Apple Neural Engine напрямую. Сейчас ANE используются для запуска готовых моделей в основном, автор утверждает, что разобрал приватные API эппла, и теперь всё можно учить прямо на устройстве, не покупая себе очередной A100. В реальности, скорее всего, пользоваться этим будет нельзя, пока эппл явно не разрешит. Но фактически то, что автор репозитория показал, означает, что по сути нас ограничивает только софт, ограничения на уровне железа практически не существует. Хайпа, правда, многовато, т.к. устройства с ANE конечно не рассчитаны на ту огромную и долгов…
