Но кажется, что не пчелы работают на меня, а я на них.

Злые пчелы нападают на человека и других пчел, не дают собирать мед и мыть ульи.

Пчеловодила и на семерке, и на матизеИтого, чтобы пчелы начали приносить деньги, потребуется 734 235 ₽.

Вся работа на пасеке в прошлом году принесла мне порядка 1 199 000 ₽ в год, что 99 916 в месяц.

Так мед проще разместить в улье, мед не пачкается и не кристаллизуется.

И единственным соавтором, объединяющим все эти данные, является Маслия, в период его работы в Калифорнийском университете и NIA в Бетезде, штат Мэриленд, с 1997 по 2023 годы.

Дублирование изображений в том виде, как оно встречается в некоторых из статей в отчете‑расследовании, действительно может быть простой ошибкой.

Дора Геймс, работавшая в «Athena Neurosciences» в Сан‑Франциско до выхода на пенсию в 2012 году, сомневается в подлоге.

К слову, Калифорнийский университет Сан‑Диего в данный момент проводит внутреннее расследование и в отношении Берислава Злоковича, чьё исследование гематоэнцефалического барьера при болезни Альцгеймера и инсульте вызвало вопросы в 2023 году.

Оно касалось дубл…

Поиск способа отладки ПО, написанного в CubeIDE на железе GDУстановить в настройках проекта Debug probe — OpenOCD.

Софт был написан в CubeIDE с использованием FreeRTOS, HAL и lwIP и нескольких сторонних библиотек.

И примерно через 10 попыток собираю новый бинарник с отключенным autonegotiation, пусть сеть всегда работает на скорости на 100 Мбит (как по ТЗ).

Но уже было и не надо.Теперь у меня есть проект, сделанный в CubeIDE 1.3, который можно одинаково успешно запускать и отлаживать на железках на.

Или я не прав?Так что все изложенное выше было сделано исключительно в исследовательских целях и в поля не пошло.

Нет-нет, фразы «подайте кто сколько может» не будет 🙃 Я справилась и хочу рассказать, как с помощью нейросетей увеличить количество часов в сутках.

Вот как я использую Chat GPT в копирайтинге:Генерация 3–4 вариантов лида (первого абзаца) — выбираю, какой интереснее, и перерабатываю.

Составление черновой версии плана статьи — смотрю, о каких моментах я не подумала, и чего нет на сайтах-конкурентах.

Подборка вопросов для проведения интервью — просто убедиться перед общением с экспертом, что я не упустила ничего интересного.

В заголовке статьи я обещала ничего не рекламировать, поэтому телеграм-канал не афиширую, как и названия сервисов/ботов.

ARCTIC хороши, но шумноваты и только DC подключение, а я бы хотел избавиться от резистора и дать управление материнке по ШИМ.

Их я и купил новые с гарантией на «Озоне».LNA адаптер от Noctua я убрал и в БИОСе чуть-чуть понизил обороты на Chasis вентиляторы.Результат просто космический.

То есть если просто копировать большой объём данных на NAS, то смысла в апгрейде памяти почти нет.

Но с учётом продажи старой памяти цена такого комплекта становилось уже психологически приемлемой, и я его купил.Установка банальная, просто меняем старые планки на новые.

Для этого идём в «Администрирование» — «Общие», ищем поля для кастомного CSS и вставляем туда ссылку на CSS из темы.Больше тем можно найти на …

У всех одинаковые картинки и указаны одни и те же очень неплохие параметры.

Я купил её, протестировал и выяснил, насколько реальные характеристики соответствуют обещанному (спойлер: не соответствуют).Светодиодная лента в российских магазинах и на маркетплейсах почему-то значительно дороже, чем на AliExpress, поэтому есть смысл искать хорошую ленту там.

Интересно, что блоки питания для этой ленты, наоборот в России дешевле, чем на Али.Сравнительно недавно в продаже появилась лента, сделанная по технологии FCOB (Flip Chip on Board).

Измеренный Ra (CRI) составил всего 79.3, что немного недотягивает даже до 80, и никакими RA 90 тут «не пахнет».

Цветовая температура ленты с тёплым светом около 3…

Но вот их удельные параметры были довольно посредственными, поэтому их и не использовали после Лунной гонки.

То есть НК-33 в 1,13 раза, а Raptor 3 в 1,24 раза экономичнее F-1.

И эта функция очень энергоемкая: в Raptor 2 в каждый двигатель подается более 650 кг в секунду.

Полнопоточный Raptor 2 уже летал в космос при испытательных запусках Starship, а Raptor 3 сохранит эту особенность конструкции и уже прошел первые прожиги на Земле.

Картинка: planetary.orgПолучается, что пока ставить вопрос о том, сможет ли Starship с Raptor 3 доставить людей на Марс, преждевременно.

Поэтому одна из вещей, которой я особенно горжусь – то, что играть в Postal действительно весело и интересно.

Олдфажный факт: В конце игры вам покажут игровую статистику и в зависимости от ваших «достижений» (сколько людей и животных убили, какое оружие использовали, скорость прохождения и т.д.)

Одним из таких проектов, что в первую очередь вспомнится большинству олдфагов, является Postal 2, вышедший в 2003 году.

Это дополнение представляет собой альтернативное продолжение оригинальной Postal 2 и игнорирует события Postal III (третья часть была плохо принята игроками).

Сообщество привнесло в Postal 2 огромный объём дополнительного контента, который продолжал поддерживать интерес к игре даже…

И мне не хочется говорить без “изучения”, поскольку не сказал бы, что я именно учу.

Здесь тьма интересного контента, уроки на канале ведутся на русском языке, так что сделать вид, что вы что-то не понимаете не выйдет.

Там есть возможность общения как с учениками со всего мира, так и с носителями языка.

ГрамматикаНа что я НЕ советую тратить специального времени — так это на грамматику.

Иногда тем же способом можно усилить понимание какого-то правила построения предложений, но запойно изучать грамматику, да ещё и на перспективу — довольно глупая и унылая трата времени.

Два крупнейших игрока на рынке процессоров с архитектурой х86 и одновременно конкуренты, AMD и Intel, на время решили стать союзниками.

Чтобы успешно конкурировать с производителями чипов на архитектурах ARM и RISC-V . В рамках программы сотрудничества уже создана консультативная группа, в которую вошел, например, Линус Торвальдс.

Ну а о подробностях поговорим под катом.Эксперты утверждают, что AMD и Intel, оставаясь основными конкурентами в области х86-процессоров, вынуждены объединиться перед лицом серьезных вызовов со стороны ARM и RISC-V. Об этих архитектурах мы неоднократно писали, и ведь этому есть причина — они стремительно набирают популярность.

Например, представители Intel заявили…

Если спросить обывателя о том, какой же в истории нефтедобычи был фонтан и розлив нефти - он вряд ли сможет его назвать.

Лейквью - крупнейший фонтан нефти в истории, изображение №1Месторождение Мидуэй-Сансет - одно из крупнейших в Америке.

Уже в первый день фонтан выбросил 125 тысяч баррелей нефти и не думал останавливаться.

Бассейн внутри дамбы, наконец, стал достаточно глубоким, чтобы превратить фонтан в булькающее озероМестность вокруг скважины превратилась в зону экологического бедствия.

Но и этого объема хватило, чтобы обрушить цену нефти на американском рынке на 50%!!!

Но не такому уж и простому резистору, как многие, а СП5-35А.

Мой товарищ рассказал про чудо резистор, где на одном валу есть сразу два переменных сопротивления, грубое и точное, и хитрый механизм их задействования.

Но информации и фото в интернете я не смог найти.

Ну тут особо ничего не предсказуемого не увидел.

Это история о том, как умер Google Search, и о причастных к его смерти людях. Начинается она 5 февраля 2019 года, когда Бен Гомес, глава Google Search, столкнулся с проблемой. Джерри Дишлер, на тот момент вице-президент и главный управляющий Google Ads, вместе с Шивой Венкатараманом, тогда вице-президентом по разработке систем Google Search и Ads, объявили «код жёлтый» в отношении доходности Google Search. Причиной такого шага стало, цитирую: «Стабильно низкие ежедневные показатели», а также вероятность того, что к концу четверти доходность этого сегмента окажется в значительном упадке.

Эту развязку я решил делать установкой гофрированного гибкого шланга, как, в прочем, было и в оригинальной системе.

В этом случае большой кран закрывается и в газоразрядный прибор напускается аргон через несуществующую пока ветвь системы.

Для проводов, кстати, надо было сделать крепление по корпусу, чтобы всё было по-человечески и не болталось.

Затем на концах этой полосы делались отверстия под винт и на тело полосы надевалась силиконовая трубка, защищающая провода от повреждения острыми гранями.

Во-вторых, в отличии от старого, у него есть защита от всасывания воздуха через насос, в случае отключения электричества, что очень важно для диффузионного насоса.

Например, о том, как они нас воспринимают.

Судя по тому, как они виляют хвостами, прыгают к нам на колени и крадут наши носки, создаётся впечатление, что они любят нас так же, как и мы их.

Нам кажется, что они воспринимают нас как свою семью, улавливают наши мысли и считывают эмоции.

Так же, как и нам, им больше нравится смотреть на вертикальные, а не на перевернутые лица.

Несколько исследований подтвердили, что они знают, что если нас нет в комнате с ними — или мы просто отвернулись — они могут съесть что‑нибудь запрещённое.

«VK Капсула Про» позволяет управлять умными устройствами, не вставая с дивана, благодаря ИИ «Маруся».

Общая мощность динамиков составляет 65 Вт: два высокочастотных по 12,5 Вт и один широкополосный 40 Вт.

Пресс-служба отмечает, что «VK Капсула Про» поддерживает пространственное аудио, обеспечивая глубокий бас и чёткий вокал.

Всего «VK Капсула Про» имеет четыре цвета: «Оникс», «Кобальт», «Бургунди» и «Фуксия», которые сопровождает свой набор циферблатов.

О дате начала официальных продаж пресс-служба сообщит позднее, однако и цена «VK Капсулы Про» будет выше — 25 000 рублей.

Up – первые наушники Amazfit в набирающем сейчас популярность форм-факторе «клипсы»: они с помощью зажима крепятся за ухо.

Это позволяет их использовать и тем, у кого обычные «вкладыши» не держатся в ушах, и тем, кто занимается активными видами спорта.

Ухо наушник не закрывает, пользователь отлично слышит улицу, да и наушник так просто не слетит, например, во время бега.

Если подключить наушники к умным часам Amazfit, то они смогут в реальном времени передавать информацию о тренировках.

А в некоторых странах и вовсе отдают бесплатно при покупке других устройств Amazfit.

Смартфон от Samsung стал «на 1,5 мм тоньше и на 3 грамма легче», чем Galaxy Z Fold 6, а экраны в нём по сравнению с базовой моделью увеличились.

Диагональ внешнего дисплея увеличилась до 6,5 дюймов, а основного — до 8 дюймов.

В остальном изменений немного: вместо 12 ГБ оперативной памяти в SE стоит 16 ГБ, а 50-Мп ширик заменили на 200 Мп.

Остальные камеры без изменений: ультраширик 12 Мп, 10 Мп телеобъектив и две камеры для селфи — 10 Мп снаружи и 4 Мп под экраном.

Батарея, если верить утёкшим спецификациям, стала меньше — 4272 м·Ач против 4400 м·Ач у Galaxy Z Fold 6.

Внутренние исследования Apple показали, что ChatGPT на 25 % точнее Siri, а также может ответить на большее количество вопросов, — пишет Марк Гурман. По его словам, внутри компании ходит мнение, что Apple Intelligence отстаёт от решений конкурентов минимум на два года. Несмотря на это, Гурман считает, что компания может быстро нивелировать разрыв, учитывая похожую ситуацию […]

Производительность CPU выросла на 44 % в сравнении с предшественником.

Обещают прирост производительности в районе 40 %, а трассировка лучей получила ускорение на 35 % в сравнении с графическим процессором Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.

Snapdragon 8 Elite получил поддержку двухканальной LPDDR5X-5300.

Сюда же уместили новый NPU, который на 45 % мощнее предшественника, а также новый модем Snapdragon X80 с поддержкой Wi-Fi 7.

Первым смартфоном на Snapdragon 8 Elite станет Xiaomi 15, который вот-вот представят в Китае.

Увеличение цен коснётся в первую очередь ноутбуков, — пишут «Известия» со ссылкой на источник в сфере дистрибуции.

Причины, что и прежде: высокий курс валют, увеличение стоимости комплектующих во всём мире, а также увеличение логистических цепочек и сложности с оплатой товара из России.

Утверждается, что ретейлеры закупили первые партии электроники по новым ценам.

Именно эти товары будут ожидать нас на прилавках магазинов ближе к Новому году.

Эксперты, опрошенные «Известиями», сходятся во мнении: бытовая техника и сложная электроника будет дорожать, а предпосылок к уменьшению цен пока нет.

Представители МИД РФ сообщили, что с 1 января 2025 года роуминг между союзными государствами отменят.

Вместе с этим последует изменение роуминговых тарифов для россиян и белорусов до «комфортного» уровня.

Россия и Беларусь шли к отмене роуминга с 2017 года.

Впервые снижение стоимости звонков, интернет-трафика и СМС-сообщений произошло в 2021-м, хотя и в тестовом режиме.

Уже в 2022 году плату за входящие звонки между абонентами союзных государств полностью отменили.

Это экшен-хоррор похожий одновременно и на Dead Space, и на The Medium — ещё одну игру от этой же команды.

Cronos: The New Dawn выходит где-то в 2025 году на ПК, PlayStation 5 и Xbox Series.

Игра выходит 21 февраля 2025 года на ПК, PlayStation и Xbox.

Blindfire уже доступна в раннем доступе на ПК и Xbox.

MOUSE выходит когда-то в 2025 году на ПК и Xbox Series.

Для этого пришлось обрезать материнку оригинальной консоли 2001 года, перепаять цепь питания, напечатать на 3D-принтере корпус, разработать систему охлаждения и модифицировать BIOS — по умолчанию устройство не загружалось после удаления DVD-привода.

Консоль обзавелась 9-дюймовым 480p дисплеем, четырьмя аккумуляторами формата 21700 и проводной зарядкой на 100 Вт.

Устанавливать игры на неё муторно: консоль умеет запускать файлы с жёсткого диска, но после потери дисковода их необходимо загружать в память самостоятельно.

Портативный Xbox существует в единственном экземпляре.

Суд временно разрешил не допускать сторонние магазины приложений в Google Play.

Выглядит Land and Air Vehicle как вертолёт, который ухватил спорткар и собирается взмыть в воздух, словно орёл с добычей.

Конструкция простая и делится на три секции: кабина, шасси и что-то, похожее на двигатели вертолёта с лопастями и хвостом.

Управлять им своими ручками нельзя: ни руля, ни педалей здесь нет, а за полёт полностью отвечает компьютер.

Кабина рассчитана на двоих, так что можно позвать друга или подругу и переживать свою беспомощность вдвоём.

Прототип ещё нуждается в доработке, поэтому даже о примерных сроках выхода речь не идёт.

Если сейчас вы платите 15 % от превышения порога беспошлинного ввоза, который зафиксирован на уровне 200 €, то Минфин РФ предложил платить 5 % от полной стоимости товара при сохранении того же уровня.

То есть при покупке смартфона за рубежом за 400 € сейчас вы заплатите пошлину в размере 30 € (200 € – 200 € = 100 € × 15 %).

И чем выше стоимость покупки, тем выгода для россиян увеличивается.

Предположим, стоимость покупки составит 280 €.

Сейчас вы заплатите с этой покупки сумму, эквивалентную 12 €, а если изменения будут внесены, то 14 €.

ВОЗ признала выгорание еще в 2019 году. Признаки хронического стресса на рабочем месте — усталость, цинизм и низкая производительность. С этим трудно справиться в одиночку. Но, как известно, проблема одного человека — возможность для другого. Так появились коучи, которые специализируются на выгорании.

Основательница и генеральный директор Wildberries Татьяна Бакальчук подала в суд на своего супруга Владислава Бакальчука. Судебный иск касается семейных правоотношений. Ранее на фоне объединения Wildberries и группы Russ возник скандал, после которого супруги-сооснователи и совладельцы крупнейшего маркетплейса России вошли в спор по вопросу принадлежности его активов.

Многие современные пары отказываются от традиционного празднования свадьбы и предпочитают отмечать роспись вдвоем. Тем не менее, людей, которые заказывают фуршеты и организовывают пышные вечеринки, больше. По данным сервиса «Авито Услуги», в 2024 году спрос на услуги свадебных специалистов вырос на 285% по сравнению с прошлым годом. Самые популярные товары из категории — платья, кольца и аксессуары. При этом образ невесты в среднем обходится в 20,6 тыс. рублей. Сегодня предоставить широкий выбор товаров для свадьбы могут не только зарубежные, но и российские марки. Редакция RB.RU составила список из 10 перспективных свадебных брендов, которые создают классические платья невест и необычные д…

Компания Malibal, выпускающая ноутбуки, выступила с жёсткой критикой сообщества CoreBoot и призвала прекратить использование проекта. Кроме того, компания Malibal отказалась от использования процессоров AMD, так как лидер CoreBoot трудоустроен в AMD, и прекратила поставки продукции в Германию, Польшу и штат Техас, так как там зарегистрированы компании 9Elements, AMD и 3mdeb, взаимодействием c которыми представитили Malibal осталась недовольны. Более того, в Malibal пообещали банить любого, кто поддерживает проект CoreBoot, передаёт ему код, отправляет пожертвования или участвует в его работе.

Исследователи из Швейцарской высшей технической школы Цюриха выявили два способа обхода защиты от атак класса Spectre, основанной на использовании процессорных инструкций IBPB (Indirect Branch Prediction Barriers) для сброса состояния блока предсказания переходов при каждом переключении контекста (например, при передаче управления между пространством пользователя в ядром или между гостевой системой и хост окружением). Первый способ затрагивает процессоры Intel, а второй - процессоры AMD. Кроме того, исследователи впервые реализовали рабочий эксплоит, использующий уязвимость Spectre для организации утечки содержимого памяти между процессами, и продемонстрировали его применение для извлечения…

These were the original specs for the Cybertruck:Most people reserved the “500+” mile range tri-motor version for $70,000.

However, Tesla has updated its range extender specs:Tesla now says that the range extender should result in “445+ miles” rather than “470+ miles” for the dual motor – a ~25-mile reduction in range.

Interestingly, the range extender’s impact on the tri-motor Cybertruck’s range hasn’t changed on the standard wheels and tires, but it is down to “415+ miles” with the all-terrain wheels.

Tesla started Cybertruck production in late 2023, whi…

More recently, USDoD was behind a breach at the consumer data broker National Public Data that led to the leak of Social Security numbers and other personal information for a significant portion of the U.S. population.

If Glenn Horowitz comes calling, should you be flattered or alarmed?

In a new study, Yale researchers have now shown how different tastes are encoded by neurons in mosquitoes and how they influence biting, feeding, and egg-laying.

These findings, they say, could inform methods to halt or reduce mosquito biting in the future.

When the researchers offered mosquitoes human sweat samples, they found that the mosquitoes showed strong biting preferences for some samples over others.

That information, the researchers say, may help identify compounds that can sway mosquitoes to leave rather than bite.

“Our study may be helpful in identifying compounds that protect us from mosquito bites in a new way,” said Carlson.

It was surreal watching SpaceX's enormous 20-story-tall Super Heavy rocket booster plummeting through the sky before being caught back at its launch pad by giant mechanical arms.

This is required for SpaceX to accomplish the company's mission, set out by Elon Musk two decades ago, of building a settlement on Mars.

Of course, SpaceX's cameras got much better views of the catch than mine.

To make that happen, SpaceX must launch numerous Starship tankers over the course of a few weeks to a few months to refuel the Moon-bound Starship lander in low-Earth orbit.

Rapid reuse is fundamental to the lunar lander architecture NASA chose for the first two Artemis landing missions.

T-Mobile and AT&T say US regulators should drop a plan to require unlocking of phones within 60 days of activation, claiming that locking phones to a carrier's network makes it possible to provide cheaper handsets to consumers.

T-Mobile has been criticized for locking phones for up to a year, which makes it impossible to use a phone on a rival's network.

37Signals is not a company that makes its policy or management decisions quietly.

So when 37Signals decided to pull its seven cloud-based apps off Amazon Web Services in the fall of 2022, it didn't do so quietly or without details.

In early 2023, Hansson wrote that 37Signals expected to save $7 million over five years by buying more than $600,000 worth of Dell server gear and hosting its own apps.

Late last week, Hansson had an update: it's more like $10 million (and, he told the BBC, more like $800,000 in gear).

He adds the caveat that companies with "enormous fluctuations in load," and those in early or uncertain stages, still have a place in the cloud.

None of the intern's sabotage impacted ByteDance's commercial projects or online businesses, ByteDance said, and none of ByteDance's large models were affected.

Like nuclear fusion, the idea of space-based solar power has always seemed like a futuristic technology with an actual deployment into communities ever remaining a couple of decades away.

The eight launches are divided into two fixed-price "task orders" that Space System Command opened up for bids earlier this year.

Two eligible biddersThe parameters of the competition limited the bidders to SpaceX and United Launch Alliance (ULA).

SpaceX won both task orders for a combined value of $733.5 million, or roughly $91.7 million per mission.

All the missions will launch from Vandenberg Space Force Base, California, beginning as soon as late 2025.

The task orders announced Friday are the first awarded in Phase 3 Lane 1, which is for less demanding launch profiles into low-Earth orbit.

Evolution has turned out bizarre and baffling creatures, such as walking fish.

An international team of researchers has now discovered that the legs of the northern sea robin, Prionotus carolinus, double as sensory organs.

So the research team tested the fish to see if they could differentiate between mussels, capsules of mussel extract, and capsules containing only seawater.

Amazingly, the fish dug up every buried mussel or mussel extract capsule, but bypassed the seawater capsules.

ADVERTISEMENT AdvertisementAfter signing an EV-charging pact with Tesla in May 2023, Ford EV owners in Canada and the US got a green light to use Superchargers earlier this year.

The adapters convert North American standard CCS ports used on Ford EVs to Tesla's proprietary NACS cables.

Other companies (Nissan, Rivian, GM, Subaru and many others) that cut deals with Tesla offered similar adapters, though many will permanently adopt the NACS standard for future vehicles.

Earlier this year, Tesla sued the supplier of …

The Guardians of the Galaxy actor felt a bit lost with the Russo Brothers' direction for Gamora in Avengers: Endgame.

Specifically, Saldaña felt somewhat rudderless in how she was to portray Gamora in the later Avengers movies and wished she had explored more aspects of the character in Avengers: Endgame.

“I wish I could go back and reshoot what Gamora was going through in the Avengers movies,” Saldaña told Variety.

Having had time away from the whole experience, Saldaña wishes she could reverse time and explore Gamora and Thanos’ tumultuous family ties.

“We were supposed to be these rejects that came with childhood traumas and disabilities and mental issues,” Saldaña said.

The Spider-Man actor joins Matt Damon in the latest mystery film from the Oppenheimer director.

Since Universal announced it was reteaming with Nolan, fans everywhere have been speculating about the nature of the film.

io9 got word from a reliable source that Nolan’s film is a vampire movie set in the 1920s.

What we can say for sure is it’s Nolan’s first movie since winning Oscars for Best Picture and Best Director for Oppenheimer.

It stars Matt Damon and, now, Tom Holland—who’ll reportedly shoot the film alongside Spider-Man 4 and Avengers: Doomsday.

The pouches have become a cause célèbre among anti-regulation conservatives, and a growing number of middle and high school students are using them.

E-cigarette usage declined among kids, as did cigarette and cigar smoking, and hookahs, according to the CDC’s annual National Youth Tobacco Survey.

Unlike cigarettes, cigars, or pipes, nicotine pouches don’t contain any actual tobacco leaves, though the nicotine they contain can be derived from tobacco plants.

Nicotine pouches are composed of a powder made up of nicotine (which by itself is extremely addictive and dangerous) and flavorings.

Even without a delivery mechanism that involves tobacco, nicotine constricts blood vessels, which c…

After last week’s episode illuminated the audience to the plight of Sofia Falcone, episode five, “Homecoming,” was like watching with a fresh set of eyes.

After murdering most of her family, Sofia (Cristin Milioti) decides it is time for a change.

No longer will they be the Falcone crime family.

Now they’ll be the Gigante crime family, her mother’s maiden name, as a sign of disrespect to her father and his followers.

Almost as bold as what Oz (Colin Farrell) does to the other major crime family, the Marionis.

The streaming platform is looking to make fewer movies that are higher quality, a radical strategy borne from disruption.

On the whole, Netflix’s movies are not very good.

However, according to a new report from Bloomberg, the streaming platform has a new plan to turn all that around.

Under Lin, Netflix plans to release 25 to 30 movies per year, as opposed to the companies typical output of 50 flicks a year.

Bloomberg writes that, to execute this vision, Lin has “restructured Netflix’s film division,” cutting some staff positions while refocusing others.

The 2024 presidential campaign has been awash with fake stories about Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate Tim Walz in recent months, all spread by supporters of Donald Trump.

All we know for certain is that the video is clearly fake and is being spread inorganically on X.

That didn’t happen.”But that didn’t stop Trump from claiming collusion between the network and the Harris campaign.

For its part, the Trump campaign is also spreading fake news even in official campaign events.

But the polling is so close that it’s clearly a toss up at this point between Harris and Trump.

The arid region sometimes develops lakes after heavy rain, hinting at how the desert may have once had a different climate.

The lake formed after a cyclone walloped parts of northern Africa in September, causing huge amounts of rain in the Sahara Desert.

“If we don’t get any more rain events,” Armon said, the lake “would take about a year to evaporate completely.”The summer tends to be a wetter time of year for the Sahara.

Of 38,000 recorded heavy precipitation events in the the desert, about 30% occurred during the summer, according to an earlier Earth Observatory release.

Other spacecraft, like NASA’s Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR), keep track of atmospheric climate events.

Witch Hat Atelier is already being heralded as the next big fantasy anime alongside Delicious in Dungeon and Frieren: Beyond Journey's End.

Witch Hat Atelier, created by Kamome Shirahama, follows Coco, a young girl who dreams of becoming a witch.

Her serialization of Witch Hat Atelier began in 2016 in the Monthly Morning Two magazine.

Isaiah Colbert, io9: How does it feel to finally have Witch Hat Atelier receive an anime adaptation by Bug Films?

But when I was provided was a demo tape for the music for Witch Hat Atelier that we use in the promotional videos, I thought this was really fitting to the worldview of Witch Hat Atelier.

The Snapdragon 8 Elite is using the in-house Oryon CPU cores—now on mobile after debuting with the Snapdragon X Elite and X Plus—alongside the next step in its Adreno 830 GPU for battery ray tracing on a TSMC 3nm processor.

The Snapdragon 8 Elite contains 24MB of L2 cache, though 12 MB of that is for the four performance cores.

As for connectivity, the Snapdragon X Elite is housing the X80 5G Modem and support for wifi 7 on a FastConnect 7900 antenna.

The other big claim was that the X Elite chips are still more power efficient than the mid-range Intel variety.

The same can be said about its X1E-84-100 version of the Snapdragon X Elite.

io9 spoke to executive producer Brad Miska about the hottest things in horror: Art the Clown and Terrifier.

Brad Miska was barely paying attention when he realized horror movie history was happening.

The co-founder of the horror movie site Bloody Disgusting has lived and breathed horror films his entire life and, as such, knows they have the potential to suck.

So you can’t blame him for throwing on a seemingly unassuming sequel called Terrifier 2Â and continuing with his day.

The first two films, Terrifier and Terrifier 2, are both streaming on Prime Video.

We took turns visiting various rooms in the facility to experience a different speaker setup.

We enjoyed a listening party (of sorts) that included three entirely different speaker setups for a range of price points.

Ease of scalability is one of the biggest features of the JBL Stage 2 lineup, though that isn’t exclusive to this company or its products.

Most other surround sound speaker setups can be scaled up or scaled down.

The JBL Stage 2 speakers obviously did the song justice, given that others in the room were soon quizzing me about the artist.

Intuit, which owns TurboTax, implored The Verge to delete portions of an interview in which they pressed its CEO about lobbying efforts.

Saeedi was pressed by the outlet’s editor-in-chief Nilay Patel over Intuit’s efforts to prevent a simplification of tax filing in the United States.

Intuit, of course, does not want all tax filing to be automated away as TurboTax is one of its most profitable offerings.

After that, the IRS basically threw up its hands and decided to make its own software.ÂIntuit has been strongly opposed to the IRS making its own software for free tax filing.

But Intuit is not a charitable organization, there’s a reason it offers free tax filing to some Americans.

A new lawsuit brought against the startup Perplexity argues that, in addition to violating copyright law, it’s breaking trademark law by making up fake sections of news stories and falsely attributing the words to publishers.

Dow Jones (publisher of The Wall Street Journal) and the New York Post—both owned by Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp—brought the copyright infringement lawsuit against Perplexity today in the US Southern District of New York.

Both Forbes and WIRED parent company Condé Nast sent the company cease-and-desist letters in response.

The Elon Musk–backed America PAC has spent thousands of dollars advertising on the Elon Musk–owned social media platform X to support former president Donald Trump’s campaign.

According to X’s political ad disclosure data, between July 8 and October 1 the America PAC ran 59 ads, costing more than $166,000 and yielding, per X’s metrics, 32,058,424 impressions.

The America PAC has been a driving force behind voter mobilization for the Trump campaign, developing an app to help canvassers target likely voters.

Before his appearance at Trump’s October rally in Butler, Musk had appropriated the @america handle for the America PAC.

A $2 million contract that United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement signed with Israeli commercial spyware vendor Paragon Solutions has been paused and placed under compliance review, WIRED has learned.

The White House’s scrutiny of the contract marks the first test of the Biden administration’s executive order restricting the government’s use of spyware.

The one-year contract between Paragon’s US subsidiary in Chantilly, Virginia, and ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Division 3 was signed on September 27 and first reported by WIRED on October 1.

A few days later, on October 8, HSI issued a stop-work order for the award “to review and verify compliance with Executive Or…

Storm-1516 has a long history of posting fake whistleblower videos, and often deepfake videos, to push Kremlin talking points to the West.

Numerous figures in MAGA world boosted the Tim Walz assault claims, including Jack Posobiec, the Pizzagate promoter who is now a member of Trump’s campaign team, and Candace Owens, the popular right-wing podcaster.

The claims went viral on X last week, when an anonymous account called Black Insurrectionist posted screenshots of emails from a purported victim.

Then, on Wednesday, a video claiming to show a former student of Walz describing abuse by the former football coach spread widely on X.

With the 2017 unveiling of the ID Buzz concept, Volkswagen announced that the iconic VW bus—forever a symbol of beachy road trips and 1960’s hippie freedom—was returning to the market as an EV.

The cost (around $60K) is maybe higher than many had anticipated, and the vehicle's range (around 230 miles) is likely lower than many had hoped.

After spending a day behind the wheel of one, however, I can say that the ID Buzz has rekindled some of that excitement I felt way back in 2017.

The ID Buzz arrives with EPA range numbers that are sure to harsh some mellows: 234 miles for the rear-wheel-drive variant, and 231 miles for the all-wheel-drive model.

It did so with the Audi E-Tron, Porsche Tayca…

The answer depends primarily on whether you’re looking into over-the-counter or prescription hearing aids.

They will test your hearing in a specialized room, physically examine your ears for medical problems, and suggest a hearing aid model.

Prescription hearing aids are expensive, anywhere from two to 10 times costlier than over-the-counter models.

That said, for consumers who need hand-holding and significant fine-tuning of their hearing aids, professionals like this still have a function.

Ultimately, higher-end OTC aids offer a user experience similar to that of prescription aids, only one that is fully remote.

The company has been around since the 1940s making your classic locks and doorknobs and has been making smart locks under its Halo line since 2019.

The Halo line originally consisted of two locks, the Halo Keypad and the Halo Touch.

It took Kwikset a while to come out with a Matter lock after companies like Yale did it first.

But based on what we've seen so far, the Matter experience is one of the best I've seen, and the super-minimal door-status sensor is a particularly refreshing take in the world of smart sensors.

Matter TimePhotograph: KwiksetThis isn't the first Matter smart lock, but the Matter experience that Kwikset designed into its app is pretty impressive.

It shares the road with a few other businesses, but is otherwise surrounded by an expanse of open fields and tree-lined slopes.

The warehouse is owned by Mohawk Energy, a company cofounded by Kentucky state senator Brandon Smith in 2005, originally to resculpt landscapes disfigured by coal mining.

Under the deal, Mohawk promised to fit up its warehouse with the necessary power infrastructure, operate the equipment, and funnel any bitcoin produced to HBT.

In return, HBT would pay Mohawk a monthly hosting fee, a cut of its mining revenue, and the associated energy bills.

“I liked the idea of going from one type of mining to a new type,” says Smith.

The first thing you need to know about wearing Apple’s AirPods Pro 2 earbuds and using them as hearing aids is that you will begin every conversation you have with some variation of:Yes, I can hear you.

These are hearing aids.

I know they are AirPods, but they’re also hearing aids.

This sorrowful introduction will play out by the millions in the months that come, now that the hearing aid features of AirPods Pro 2 have officially launched.

Whether people will get over that hump and normalize the wearing of AirPods in social settings, at work, and in pretty much any other situation, so you no longer have to apologize up front—well, we’ll have to wait and see.

The AI industry has largely welcomed Biden’s safety agenda.

Two Very Different PathsIf Trump wins the White House next month, expect a sea change in how the government approaches AI safety.

The reporting requirement could also face legal challenges now that the Supreme Court has weakened the deference that courts used to give agencies in evaluating their regulations.

And GOP pushback could even jeopardize NIST’s voluntary AI testing partnerships with leading companies.

This polarization around AI has frustrated technologists who worry that Trump will undermine the quest for safer models.

Analysts at the US Department of Homeland Security shared an internal report to local agencies in August, warning them about the economic risks of using Chinese utility storage batteries.

It warns that the dependence on Chinese batteries could hurt developing a secure supply chain in the US.

The document, first obtained by national security transparency nonprofit Property of the People and seen by WIRED, accuses Chinese companies of “using People’s Republic of China state support to quickly and cheaply enter the emerging US utility battery energy storage industry and create supply chain dependencies on China,” and asks that any suspicious activity be reported.

If you want to subscribe to Disney Plus or Hulu on your iPhone, you can’t do that anymore.

Support documents for Disney Plus and Hulu now say that new and returning subscribers to those streaming services can’t sign up through Apple, as reported by MacRumors.

I’m not currently paying for Disney Plus, so out of curiosity, I tried logging into my account through the iOS app to see what would happen.

Screenshots by Jay Peters / The VergePresumably, the company is making this change to stop Apple from taking a cut of new subscription revenues for Disney Plus and Hulu.

However, if you already subscribe to those services through Apple, Disney says you’ll still be billed through Apple.

Thankfully, the best thing about fitness trackers in 2024 is that there’s enough variety to fit into every kind of lifestyle.

Today, Alcon Entertainment — an LA-based production company behind Blade Runner 2049 — filed a lawsuit against Tesla, Elon Musk, and Warner Bros.

Discovery alleging that an AI image generator was used to create promotional art for the We, Robot event that was meant to resemble stills from the 2017 sci-fi film.

Though WBD owns some licensing rights for Blade Runner 2049, because the event would be live-streamed internationally, clearance for the images had to come from Alcon directly.

During the event, Musk mentioned the Blade Runner franchise by name while describing sci-fi depictions of the future, and the livestream cut to an image depicting a man wearing a duster jacket and standing in f…

Amazon says that it has gotten rid of plastic air pillows at its warehouses.

“As of October 2024, we’ve removed all plastic air pillows from our delivery packaging used at our global fulfillment centers,” the e-commerce giant said in an October 9th blog post.

The most prolific type of plastic litter near coastlines is plastic film — a material that makes up those once ubiquitous air pillows, according to Oceana.

Amazon’s announcement comes after it pledged in June to get rid of plastic air pillows in North America by the end of the year.

The company swapped out plastic air pillows and single-use delivery bags for paper and cardboard alternatives in Europe in 2022.

Last week, top Twitch streamer Zach Hoyt, better known as Asmongold, went on a racist rant against Palestinians, expressing apathy for the relentless military campaign against them that has claimed over 40,000 lives, many of them children.

And the problem has grown with the shift to live platforms like Twitch where streamers exploit — sometimes intentionally, sometimes not — outrage farming for the attention it generates.

But a Twitch streamer like Nick “Nickmercs” Kolcheff, who has millions of followers and millions of dollars in subscription revenue, doesn’t have that same concern.

Just a few years after changing its mobile chipset naming conventions, Qualcomm has gone and done it again.

The Snapdragon 8 Elite is the company’s newest high-end smartphone SoC, and like the laptop chips it borrows its “Elite” name from, it comes with a new Oryon CPU.

The Oryon CPU inside the 8 Elite hasn’t been borrowed directly from the laptop chips; Qualcomm is calling it a second-gen chipset.

It replaces the Kryo CPUs Qualcomm has used in previous mobile chipsets and comprises two prime cores with six performance cores.

Websites that aren’t well optimized for mobile will “run very quickly and feel light,” and heavy games will run more effortlessly.

Tesla has delayed the release of its range extender for the Cybertruck and downgraded the amount of mileage it will add for the dual-motor version of the truck, as noticed by Electrek.

Previously, Tesla said the range extender, which will take up a good chunk of the Cybertruck’s bed space, would give the dual-motor Cybertruck an estimated total of 470 miles of range.

But the company has since downgraded that estimate by 25 miles to say that the extender gives you an estimated range of 445 miles.

(Without the extender, Tesla says to expect an estimated range of 325 miles for the Cybertruck.)

German startup Marvel Fusion and Colorado State University have broken ground on a $150M laser facility in a bid to commercialise fusion energy.

But that’s exactly what Marvel Fusion plans to do.

“This groundbreaking (feels that a word’s missing) marks an exciting new chapter in the partnership between Marvel Fusion and Colorado State University as we move forward with constructing a facility that will drive the future of fusion energy,” said Heike Freund, chief operating officer at Marvel Fusion.

While Marvel Fusion has established a subsidiary in Colorado to support this collaboration, the company’s headquarter remains in Munich, Germany.

Dutch startup Skytree has opened a new HQ in Toronto, Canada and a new office in Nashville, Tennessee, as it looks to cash-in on attractive government incentives for direct carbon capture (DAC) technologies.

Skytree designed Stratus for industrial-scale applications, such as for large greenhouses and green cement plants or for burial underground.

This means Skytree is poised for full-scale commercial deployment, a rare thing in the budding carbon capture industry.

The company also recently announced plans to install a Stratus unit at the offices of Deep Sky, a fellow DAC company from Canada.

German “teledriving” startup Vay has secured €34mn from the European Investment Bank (EIB).

In January, Vay launched a commercial remote-controlled car service in Las Vegas.

Vay says it has been working closely with authorities to launch a commercial service in the German city.

However, most will be nearby at one of Vay’s teledriving centres.

“Remote driving can increase profitability in a sector known for fine margins,” explained Justin Spratt, chief business officer at Vay.

But just offshore, a potentially game-changing wave energy device was happily bobbing up and down, side to side — seemingly, in its element.

“The Nordic tech ecosystem is thriving, especially in areas like AI, gaming, fintech, and climate tech,” John Elvesjö, managing partner at node.vc, told TNW.

“We’re seeing experienced talent, particularly from companies like Klarna, Spotify, Voi, Kry, and Pleo, stepping up to become founders,” Elvesjö said.

To date, it has backed three companies: no-code startup Lemonado, data management platform Starhive, and creative play studio Roro.

Other backers include several Nordic institutional investors and founders of a number of companies, such as Axis Communications and Yubico.

“That reduces the need for on-site labour.”Prefabricated construction relies on factory-made parts or components of buildings that are joined together on-site.

Across the continent, the picture varies but a lack of housing, and a shortage of construction workers, are common themes.

Memory safe programming languages have continued to be under an intense spotlight.

Making C++ safeMemory safe languages do exist and include Rust, Go, Java, Swift, and Python.

Given the context, it isn’t so surprising that the C++ community has reacted, announcing the Safe C++ Extensions proposal in September of this year.

With the increasing importance of software security and reliability, developers are facing mounting pressure to adopt safer coding practices.

The Safe C++ Extensions aim to address this critical need by introducing novel features that prevent common memory-related errors.”So will this fix the issue?

Munich-based startup OroraTech has secured €25mn in funding to scale up its AI-powered wildfire detection system.

In June, Greece’s Ministry of Digital Governance awarded OroraTech a €20mn contract to build a satellite-based early warning system for wildfires.

The national defence system will consist of four thermal satellites and a network of ground sensors and processing services.

Greece’s national wildfire system will go into full operations once OroraTech has got its entire constellation of 100 shoebox-sized satellites in orbit, which is scheduled for 2026.

In Europe, several fire brigades have been trialling long-range drones like those built by Dutch scaleup Avy to detect wildfires ea…

The European Space Agency (ESA) has signed a €119mn contract with Italian scaleup D-Orbit for its first in-orbit servicing mission, RISE.

Scheduled for launch in 2028, RISE will attempt to rendezvous with, maneuver, and detach from an ESA satellite in geostationary orbit.

Then it will embark on an 8-year mission, visiting several other satellites and giving them a new lease on life.

All these objects are increasing the risk of collisions with other satellites, space stations, or even people down on Earth.

In parallel with RISE, ESA is collaborating with Swiss startup ClearSpace on a mission focused on debris removal.

In what could be a big win for the EU’s chip industry, Taiwan’s National Science and Technology Council Minister, Wu Cheng-wen, says TSMC is planning to further expand operations in the bloc.

TSMC broke ground in August on a €10bn chip plant in Dresden, Germany — its first in Europe.

The German government will provide half of the funding with €5bn in state aid, under the EU’s Chips Act.

Intel’s €30bn mega fab in Germany, which was destined to begin operations by 2028, would have helped fill this gap.

“The most important market [for expansion] would be the AI market,” said Wu.

Poppy Gustafsson, the co-founder and former CEO of UK cybersecurity darling Darktrace, has been named Britain’s new minister of investment as the new Labour government looks to win favour with big business.

Gustafsson will head up the revamped Office for Investment as part of a wider “Whitehall shake-up” designed to bring more money to British shores, the government said.

The appointment no doubt comes as a relief for Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who struggled for months to fill the role.

Before Darktrace, Gustafsson worked at Lynch’s software firm Autonomy before its highly controversial $11.7bn sale to HP.

Amsterdam-based scaleup Lumicks has secured €20mn from the European Investment Bank (EIB) to accelerate the discovery of immunotherapy drugs for cancer.

Lumicks’ tech allows scientists to gather real-time data on the bonds between immune cells and cancer cells.

This is critical to figuring out how well these immune cells can target and destroy tumors, leading to more effective cancer treatments.

Apple on Monday shared another glimpse at the new Hearing Health features coming to AirPods Pro 2 with iOS 18.1 next week.

Hearing Health features for AirPods Pro 2 will have limited availabilityApple announced the AirPods Pro 2 hearing aid feature at its September iPhone event.

The new Hearing Health features are only compatible with the second-generation AirPods Pro.

As inventory runs low at Apple Stores, we’re expecting updates to the MacBook Pro, iMac, Mac mini, and more.

Gurman says:Latest on Macs: Inventory at Apple retail stores is very low on iMacs, Mac mini and MacBook Pros, Magic Keyboards, Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad.

This description aligns with other recent announcements from Apple, such as the “Let Loose” iPad event in May and the “Scary Fast” Mac event in October 2023.

This suggests we might get an Apple event announcement for the M4 Macs as soon as tomorrow.

Gurman previously reported that the M4 Macs could launch on November 1.

Now, for all the users who have yet to jump on iOS 18 since then, iOS 17.7.1 will provide key security fixes for their iPhone.

We don’t know exactly when iOS 17.7.1 will release publicly, but it’s likely we’ll see it next week at the same time iOS 18.1 debuts—probably October 28.

Очень неожиданная атака происходит сейчас вокруг Хезболлы - более 1200 цифровых карманных раций, используемых террористами внезапно начали взрываться в карманах. Ранее боевики пользовались обычными мессенжерами в телефонах, но несколько месяцев назад по слухам они отказались от телефонов (из-за геолокации) и перешли на безопасные рации.Высока вероятность, что израильская армия нашла дыру в прошивке этих устройств, позволюящую дистанционно вызвать перегрев и взрыв батарей. Я бы про это все наверное даже не написал, но представьте себе, а если такие уязвимости окажутся в более массовых телефонах - какой бомбой может оказаться такая новость. Шутку про телефоны Самсунг пошутите сами. https://ww…

OpenAI показали превью своей новой модели, и выглядит это как новый большой прорыв — эта языковая модель O1 решает сложные задачи во много раз лучше, чем привычные нам GPT, т.к. буквально “думает” прежде чем генерировать ответ. Меня как программиста эта картинка и радует, и пугает одновременно. Вот теперь, кажется, по-настоящему “началось”, сложно будет спорить, что LLM думает — она не просто думает, она сначала обдумывает как думать, потом думает и на базе этих мыслей генерирует ответ.https://openai.com/index/learning-to-reason-with-llms/

Сергей Брин говорит, что работает в Google "практически каждый день", и что последние усовершенствования алгоритмов ИИ "опережают рост вычислений", заложенных в модели.

Но так вольно рассуждать по скорость развития ИИ я бы не стал.https://techcrunch.com/2024/09/10/sergey-brin-says-hes-working-at-google-pretty-much-every-day-on-ai/

Пока все обсуждают, что в презентации Эппл не было ничего нового, Huawei показали всем складывающийся в три раза телефон. Они не первые, кто такое сделал, но выглядит это довольно интересно, если бы не цена — три экрана обойдутся вам в $2800. По цене трех айфонов вы получаете топовый андроид без гугла. Сомнительно.https://www.cnbc.com/2024/09/10/chinas-huawei-prices-trifold-phone-to-launch-same-day-as-apple-iphone-16.html

У Дениса есть ночной обзор скандала, расскажу о нем без сложных для многих технических подробностей. Если техничекие детали вам тоже интересны - загляните к Денису.Несколько дней назад кто-то объявил о выходе дообученной "хитрыми методами" Llama 3.1 70B с невероятными результатами бенчмарков — она побила и GPT, и Claude, и все опенсорсные нейронки значительно бОльших размеров. После этого многие с восторгом начали разбираться и выяснилось:1. C выложенными весами было что-то не так: выпустили Lora для Llama 3.0, утверждая, что это дообученная 3.1.2. Проверка тестовыми запросами совсем не показывала таких крутых результатов.3. Когда авторам указали на 1 — они сказали, что это ошибка, сейчас м…

Мужчина из Северной Каролины обвиняется в мошенничестве на 10 миллионов долларов с использованием искусственного интеллекта для создания фальшивой музыки.52-летний Майкл Смит якобы создал сотни тысяч поддельных песен несуществующих групп и загрузил их на стриминговые сервисы. Затем он использовал ботов для многократного воспроизведения этих песен, имитируя реальных слушателей.Смит начал с загрузки собственной музыки, но затем перешел на использование ИИ для массового создания треков. Он генерировал правдоподобные названия для песен и исполнителей, чтобы избежать обнаружения. К 2019 году Смит зарабатывал около 110 000 долларов в месяц на роялти.Прокуратура утверждает, что эта схема работала …

Неожиданным шагом стало сегодняшнее заявление компании Intel о том, что она больше не планирует использовать собственный технологический узел "Intel 20A" в своих грядущих процессорах Arrow Lake, предназначенных для потребительского рынка. Вместо этого она будет использовать внешние микротранзисторные схемы, вероятно от TSMC, для всех компонентов чипов Arrow Lake. Единственной производственной обязанностью Intel для процессоров Arrow Lake будет упаковка внешних чипов в конечный процессор. По прогнозам Intel, отказ от узла 20A позволит ей сэкономить полмиллиарда долларов.В проработку вокруг 20А было вложено много сил, сейчас Интел решил сосредоточиться на своем более свежем узле 18А. Я, честн…

💻 В NYT интересный взгляд на экономику роботизированных такси компании Waymo (напомню, это Гугл). Понятное дело что ее доминация усилилась после того, как компания Cruise убрала свой автопарк с дорог. По слухам в ближайшие месяцы аналогичный бизнес запустит Tesla.Честно говоря мы уже заждались полностью автономных автомобилей. Вот еще любопытная статья про Amazon Zoox (это такие беспилотные микроавтобусики). Они не стесняются, у них 35 отдельных техников-пилотов, которые удаленно берут управление транспортом если он сам не справляется. И мне кажется эта полумера очень правильное решение. Fake it till you make it это правильная стратегия
