На днях точки ушедших брендов продали китайскому консорциуму, и магазины стали открываться под новыми брендами.

Релоканты из разных локаций высказывают субъективное мнение, что им нравится в новой стране, что — не нравится, чего не хватает. Эмоциональную анкету с тремя открытыми вопросами заполнили 860 человек. Материал издания dev.by.

И это без учёта последнего случая с Delivery Club, который, по версии специалистов, может оказаться рекордным.

В 90-х начинал с угольного бизнеса, с которым расстался из-за двух аварий, позже открыл нефтеперерабатывающий завод в Кемеровской области и стал владельцем молокозавода и колбасной фабрики.

Речь идёт о ввозе товаров из списка Минпромторга.

Компания решила подружиться с клиентами: операторы службы поддержки могли часами говорить с покупателями о корме, а художники рисовали портреты питомцев и отправляли хозяевам. Основатели продали стартап в 2018 году за $3,5 млрд — на тот момент рекордную для онлайн-ритейла сумму.

Из-за санкций компании будут становиться менее технологичными, но наибольшие трудности у них возникнут в будущем — когда они вернутся на мировой рынок, считают в ЦБ.

И это - object-view-box , которое позволит нам обрезать и масштабировать фотографии не прибегая к “костылям” в виде фонового изображения или доп.

Итак, знакомьтесь - object-view-box!

В этой статье я познакомлю вас с новым CSS-свойством object-view-box , которое было предложено Jake Archibald еще год назад.

Согласно специцификации CSS:Свойство object-view-box указывает “область просмотра” для элемента, так же, как это делает аттрибут , позволяя увеличить или обрезать контент элемента.

img { aspect-ratio: 1; width: 300px; object-view-box: inset(25% 20% 15% 0%); }Как это вообще работает?

Эта заметка — попытка вкусно рассказать о книге Тейлора 1911 года, вызвать у вас желание её прочесть, и не наспойлерить.

И это в капиталистической Америке более ста лет назад, где буржуи притесняли работников всех цветов кожи, как нам рассказывали.

Или вот — "любой квалифицированный и неквалифицированный труд мог быть проанализирован, систематизирован и передан в процессе обучения любому человеку".

Профсоюзные боссы подняли кампанию "всеобщего презрения" против Тейлора, не желая терять рычагов влияния.

Были заготовлены разные виды лопат под разную плотность сырья, чтобы не кидать по 2 кг угля на лопате для железной руды, и не бросать по 15 кг железной руды на лопате для угля.

Каждое утро я вхожу в душное помещение, открываю окна, в надежде хоть немного его проветрить, включаю кондиционер.

Как вы понимаете, всем дует в спину и включить кондиционер на полную не получится.

Но случается, что кондиционер старенький, не smart, а заранее его запустить и прийти утром в прохладное помещение желание есть.

Признаюсь, до этого я думал, что URI это либо URL, либо URN, и мои познания ограничивались этой схемой:Источник: https://danielmiessler.com/study/difference-between-uri-url/Каково же было мое удивление, что в этой теме еще очень много нового.

Вспомним, что URL - говорит нам "куда идти, чтобы получить ресурс", но что делать если его: удалили, переместили, переименовали и т.д.

Его основная идея заключается в том, чтобы создать базу данных адресов PURL, которая будет отображать PURL на активный URL и перенаправлять на этот URL (Http Redirect, например).

Отличия в том, что HOST - сервер базы данных PURL, а URL - адрес ресурса, к которому хотим получить доступ.

А как сфотографировать Луну?

Девушки и женщины Луну обожают.Мужчины тоже Луну лайкают, но несколько сдержаннее.

И не простой карманный фотик, а фотоаппарат класса “Ультразум” — с очень большим увеличением.Требуется зум от 30 и более крат.

Оптимальная выдержка зависит от фазы Луны, от её высоты над горизонтом, от прозрачности атмосферы, и от времени суток.

Может оказаться так, что в момент восхода лунный свет едва пробивается сквозь городской смог.

Есть несколько уникумов, использующих ленту, но по сравнению с тем, сколько их было раньше, лента скорее мертва, чем наоборот.

Но наверное ни один из них не был настолько странным, как накопитель IBM 2321 Data Cell — то, что внутри IBM называлось MARS.Что такое Data Cell, спросите вы?

Каждая полоска была чуть больше 50 мм в ширину и 33 см в длину.

Это была очень похожая конструкция, но магнитная лента была не в полосках, а в небольших кассетах, каждая из которых вмещала около 50 МБ.

Конечно, выравнивание по 1,8 градуса требует некоторой точности, но это число наверняка знакомо вам, если вы строите 3D-принтеры или станки с ЧПУ.

И как любой технологический язык, описание бизнес-процессов имеет свои специфические конструкции, разобраться в которых без определенного уровня технологических знаний будет крайне сложно.

Важно понимать, что BPMN не является языком описания ИТ-систем.

ARTEFACT (АРТЕФАКТЫ)Под артефактами в BPMN понимаются объекты, не являющиеся действиями и не имеющие прямого отношения к действиям.

В BPMN модели — это не просто картинки или диаграммы, которые можно нарисовать в любом графическом редакторе.

Пример практического применения BPMNКонечно же, без примера описание моделирования бизнес-процессов было бы неполным и не до конца понятным.

В этой статье я попробую объяснить простыми словами причины исследования и перспективы применения нового типа полупроводников – мемристор.

Изменение сопротивления является энергонезависимым, т. е. состояние сопротивления может сохраняться в течение длительного времени после удаления внешнего электрического поля.

Решение есть, и это мемристор.

Когда такие кластеры образуются, сопротивление локальной области становится намного ниже, чем сопротивление окружающей оксидной матрицы и, следовательно, состояние низкого сопротивления и состояние высокого сопротивления будут определяться образованием и разрывом токопроводящих нитей, соответственно, которые просачиваются через образец.

В Махачкале заработал ларёк по продаже виртуальных кроссовок.

В нём будут обслуживать клиентов мобильного приложения STEPN, которое набирает популярность последние несколько месяцев.

STEPN — фитнес-приложение по модели Move-to-Earn: пользователь получает токены проекта за свою физическую активность, но перед этим необходимо приобрести виртуальные кроссовки, которые стоят в среднем 1200 долларов.

В ларьке можно не только приобрести виртуальные кроссовки, но и получить консультацию по работе приложения:Мы уже занимаемся настройками и обучением, как пользоваться приложением STEPN.

Объясняем, что лучше купить и куда лучше вложить.

Исследователи из Дармштадтского технического университета Германии обнаружили, что iPhone можно взломать, даже если он выключен.

Большинство беспроводных чипов смартфона (Bluetooth, NFC, UWB) работают 24 часа в сутки.

Это нужно для поиска смартфона в случае кражи или потери.

И поскольку протоколы продолжают передавать данные, злоумышленники могут получить доступ к кредитным картам, пропускам и цифровым ключам в iPhone.

Хакеры могут воспользоваться таким режимом работы чипов и настроить их для запуска вредоносного ПО, что позволит на системном уровне следить за местоположением или запускать определённые функции.

Следственный комитет рассказал об интересной находке: в филиале психиатрической больницы ФСИН в «Бутырке» обнаружили ферму для майнинга криптовалют.

Её организовал один из руководителей Бутырской тюрьмы вместе с «неустановленными лицами».

Криптоферма работала с ноября 2021-го по февраль 2022 года.

За это время было потрачено 8379 киловатта энергии общей стоимостью 62 тысячи рублей.

Один из них рассказал, что нужно установить и как это будет работать.

Подразделение Mercedes-AMG представило Vision AMG — это автомобиль-концепция электрического «грядущего»:Назвать этот автомобиль реальным не получится никак.

Шоу-кар нужен лишь для того, чтобы показать, в какую сторону будут двигаться дизайнеры марки.

А может улучшить охлаждение во время езды:Электрокар по мотивам Mercedes Vision AMG покажут ближе к 2025 году.

Характеристики мы узнаем и увидим салон автомобиля во время премьеры, которая может состояться уже в 2024 году.

Сервис по доставке еды Delivery Club подтвердил утечку пользовательских данных, о которых ранее сообщил Telegram-канал In4security.

Данные включают в себя информацию о заказах и не затрагивают банковские реквизиты.

Известно, что в утёкшем документе, который распространяется бесплатно, содержится 250 млн строк.

Ранее стало известно, что информация о некоторых заказах Delivery Club появилась на сайте, где собираются все утёкшие данные пользователей.

Роскомнадзор сообщил, что направил запрос в Delivery Club.

Теоретически она может состояться как в ближайшие недели, так и в ближайшие месяцы.

Источники Bloomberg полагают, что MR-гарнитура (Mixed Reality — «смешанная реальность») будет представлена либо в конце этого года, либо в начале 2023-го.

Сообщается, что гарнитура будет работать на чипах M1 и будет выглядеть как-то так:Сейчас Apple разрабатывает сразу несколько гарнитур.

По подсчётам Apple, гарнитура будет продаваться примерно по штуке в день в каждом офлайн-магазине.

Однако даже такие условные сроки могут быть изменены, поскольку изначально предполагалось, что гарнитура N301 выйдет в 2019 году.

Депутаты Госдумы внесли на рассмотрение законопроект о регулировании интеллектуальной собственности в виде NFT.

NFT — невзаимозаменяемый токен в блокчейн-сети.

Новости «ВКонтакте» внедрит поддержку NFT и блокчейнаАвторы законопроекта отмечают, что NFT никак не регулируется государством, из-за чего у авторов и владельцев могут возникнуть проблемы.

В нём не указано, к какому из видов интеллектуальной собственности следует отнести NFT.

Также NFT могут представлять материальные результаты интеллектуальной собственности, а если на них будет распространяться закон о защите интеллектуальной собственности, передачу NFT придётся оформлять лицензионным договором или договором отчуждения.

Компания OnePlus анонсировала для европейского рынка три новинки: смартфоны Nord 2T и Nord CE 2 Lite, а также наушники Nord Buds.

Юристы «Роскомсвободы» добились отмены блокировки доступа к сайту Tor Project на территории России.

Апелляционный суд отменил решение Саратовского районного суда, из-за которого в декабре прошлого года доступ к сайту был ограничен.

«Роскомсвобода» добилась отмены блокировки из-за того, что в 2017 году суд не привлёк к участию The Tor Project Inc. Также в качестве довода приводили законодательство России, где нет никакого общего запрета на распространение информации, связанной с VPN, анонимайзерами и другими технологиями.

Думаю, дело вернётся в суд первой инстанции в течение месяца, и мы продолжим там рассмотрение нашего второго довода об отсутствии каких-либо законодательных запретов на рас…

Компания Samsung представила ограниченную серию наушников Galaxy Buds 2 в коллаборации с «Покемонами».

Сами наушники никак не изменились, но в комплекте идёт чехол в форме покебола, чтобы эффектно транспортировать Galaxy Buds 2.

Также в комплекте идёт одна эксклюзивная наклейка, чтобы украсить стандартный зарядный кейс Galaxy Buds.

Наклейки выбираются случайным образом и кому-то может попасться голографический стикер с Mewtwo.

Наушники должны поступить в продажу сегодня, 20 мая.

У компании Apple нет официального сервисного центра в России.

Все ремонтные работы осуществляют сторонние сервисы, которые получили статус партнёра Apple, а сотрудники — соответствующую сертификацию.

Казалось бы, таким центрам можно доверять, но и тут нужно быть осторожным: один из московских сервисных центров принимал оригинальные AirPods по гарантии, подтверждал факт брака, но вот Apple отправлял подделки.

Apple получила партию из 54 комплектов поддельных наушников.

Руководство сервисного центра iPort, управляющий которого проворачивал «схему», пообещало возместить ущерб.

Скорость скачивания данных из Сети составила 301 Мбит/с – это гораздо больше, чем в среднем в сети Starlink в США (105 Мбит/с по состоянию на четвертый квартал 2021 года).

Результат не является рекордным для сети Starlink в целом (в мае прошлого года в Германии была зафиксирована скорость 560 Мбит/с), однако это рекорд для США.

Важно, что результат зафиксирован в сельской местности штата Висконсин – Starlink в первую очередь и создавался для того, чтобы обеспечить быстрый и недорогой доступ в Сеть для жителей отдаленных районов и уголков.

Нужно отметить, что при высокой скорости скачивания данных скорость загрузки информации в Сеть по-прежнему невелика, в данном конкретном случае – всего 20…

Новинка получила аккумулятор большой емкости, 6000 мА·ч, так что пользователи точно не будут жаловаться на автономность.

Vivo Y72t получил дисплей IPS с диагональю 6,58 дюйма и разрешением 2408 х 1080 пикселей.

Уже в базе 8 ГБ ОЗУ и 128 ГБ флеш-памяти, в топовой версии – все те же 8 ГБ ОЗУ и уже 256 ГБ флеш-памяти.

Разрешение датчика фронтальной камеры, разместившейся в каплевидном вырезе, составляет 8 Мп, в основной камере используются датчики разрешением 50 и 2 Мп.

Базовая версия Vivo Y72t обойдется первым покупателям в эквивалент 195 долларов, цена топовой версии – 230 долларов.

Как пишет источник, с завтрашнего дня на флагманский смартфон Motorola Edge X30 в Китае будет установлена новая стоимость.

В версии с 12 ГБ ОЗУ и 256 ГБ флеш-памяти телефон подешевеет до 2770 юаней, что составляет примерно 415 долларов.

Для сравнения, стоимость такой версии Motorola Edge X30 сейчас в Китае – 535 долларов.

Напомним, Motorola Edge X30 дебютировал в декабре прошлого года и стал первым в мире смартфоном на базе однокристальной системы Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1.

Он получил экран с диагональю 6,8 дюйма, разрешением Full HD+ и кадровой частотой 144 Гц, 60-мегапиксельную фронтальную камеру, основную камеру с датчиками разрешением 50, 50 и 2 Мп, а также аккумулятор емкостью 5000 м…

Несмотря на то, что Nvidia недавно представила ускоритель H100 на новой архитектуре Hopper, компания готовит новый вариант старого Nvidia A100 на архитектуре Ampere.

Новая версия выделяется жидкостной системой охлаждения вместо пассивной у обычной версии.

Учитывая выход новой версии адаптера, Nvidia явно не будет снимать их с производства после выхода на рынок H100.

Напомним, новинки выйдут когда-то во втором полугодии, но компания не уточняла сроков.

Nvidia A100 в версии с интерфейсом PCIe имеет 40 либо 80 ГБ памяти и обеспечивает производительность 19,5 TFLOPS.

Причем в этот день стартуют предварительные продажи смартфонов с обновленными ценниками, а в реальности акция будет запущена 31 мая.

Стоимость Xiaomi 12 и Xiaomi 12 Pro разом снизится на 500 юаней или 75 долларов.

Подешевеет и Xiaomi 12X, но не так существенно – на 300 юаней или 45 долларов.

Напомним, Xiaomi 12X ничем не отличается от Xiaomi 12, кроме однокристальной системы: если старшая модель базируется на SoC Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, то Xiaomi 12X построен на Snapdragon 870.

А Xiaomi 12 Pro отличается от Xiaomi 12 наличием экрана 2К и 50-мегапиксельного датчика Sony IMX707 оптического формата 1/1,28 дюйма, а также поддержкой зарядки мощностью 120 Вт.

Инженерный образец нового флагманского процессора AMD Ryzen 9 7950X засветился на скриншоте, опубликованном на известном китайском форуме Chiphell.

Диспетчер задач Windows демонстрирует частоту 5,37 ГГц, однако по данным инсайдера Greymon55 (а также данным, публиковавшимся в Сети ранее), 16-ядерный флагман семейства Ryzen 7000 будет способен разгоняться до частоты 5,45 ГГц при одном-двух активных ядрах.

По данным все того же Greymon55, все процессоры серии Ryzen 7000 будут работать на частоте свыше 5,0 ГГц при загрузке 1-2 ядер.

Так, максимальная частота Ryzen 7900X составит 5,3 ГГц, частота Ryzen 7 7800X составит 5,2 ГГц, частота Ryzen 5 7600X – 5,1 ГГц.

Ну а при загрузке всех ядер все эти…

Согласно свежим данным, Xiaomi уже начала производство смартфонов новой линейки.

Речь о моделях Xiaomi 12T и 12T Pro.

Источник говорит, что производство стартовала сразу в нескольких странах, так что анонс уже не за горами.

Ранее были данные о том, что Xiaomi 12T Pro станет копией Redmi K50S Pro для глобального рынка, а Xiaomi 12T будет переименованным Redmi K50S.

Что касается источника, им выступает инсайдер Мукул Шарма (Mukul Sharma), который, к примеру, первым рассказал о Xiaomi Mi Note 10 со 108-мегапиксельной камерой.

Американская онлайновая площадка Newegg предлагает топовую видеокарту Radeon RX 6900 XT за 800 долларов – это на внушительные 200 долларов ниже рекомендованной розничной цены.

Причем речь не о референсной видеокарте, а о партнерской ASRock OC Formula RX 6900 XT, разогнанной и доработанной.

Производитель протестировал видеокарту, убедился в ее работоспособности и выставил на продажу со скидкой.

Ну а если хочется совершенно новую Radeon RX 6900 XT в запечатанной коробке, то тот же Newegg предлагает XFX Speedster MERC319 за 900 долларов – на 100 долларов дешевле рекомендованной розничной цены.

Спецпредложение на предлагает XFX Speedster MERC319 действует до 1 июня.

При этом тут есть активное шумоподавление, что уже само по себе весьма необычно.

Но это не всё.

К примеру, автономность заявлена равной 6,5 часа, что весьма неплохо.

Это не гарантирует качественный звук, но обычно в подобных наушниках стоят излучатели меньшего размера.

Также тут есть защита от влаги (IPx4), игровой режим с низкой задержкой (50 мс), функция Flyme с сопряжением со смартфоном сразу после открытия крышки футляра и даже беспроводная зарядка.

Смартфон Samsung Galaxy A13 5G, который уже около полугода продаётся в США, вскоре выйдет на европейский рынок.

Для сравнения, в США за смартфон просят 250 долларов.

В США продаётся лишь версия с 4 ГБ ОЗУ и 64 ГБ флэш-памяти.

Но будет и версия с 3 ГБ ОЗУ и 32 ГБ флэш-памяти, за которую как раз и будут просить всего 180 евро.

Также будет топовая с 4 ГБ ОЗУ и 128 ГБ флэш-памяти за 240 евро.

Опубликован релиз языка программирования общего назначения Rust 1.61, основанного проектом Mozilla, но ныне развиваемого под покровительством независимой некоммерческой организации Rust Foundation. Язык сфокусирован на безопасной работе с памятью и предоставляет средства для достижения высокого параллелизма выполнения заданий, при этом обходясь без использования сборщика мусора и runtime (runtime сводится к базовой инициализации и сопровождению стандартной библиотеки).

Компания Mozilla объявила о начале тестирования реализации в Firefox третьей версии манифеста Chrome, определяющей возможности и ресурсы, доступные для дополнений, написанных с использованием API WebExtensions. Для тестирования третьей версии манифеста в бета-версии Firefox 101 на странице about:config следует установить параметр "extensions.manifestV3.enabled" в значение true, а параметр "xpinstall.signatures.required" в значение false. Для установки дополнений можно использовать интерфейс about:debugging. Включение третьей версии манифеста по умолчанию запланировано на конец года.

После двух месяцев разработки опубликован релиз свободной реализации API OpenGL и Vulkan - Mesa 22.1.0. Первый выпуск ветки Mesa 22.1.0 имеет экспериментальный статус - после проведения окончательной стабилизации кода будет выпущена стабильная версия 22.1.1.

Состоялся выпуск свободного дистрибутива MyBee 13.1.0, построенного на базе технологий FreeBSD 13.1 и предоставляющего API для работы с виртуальными машинами (через гипервизор bhyve) и контейнерами (на базе FreeBSD jail). Дистрибутив рассчитан на установку на выделенный физический сервер. Размер установочного образа - 1.7ГБ.

Разработчики проекта openSUSE представили первый выпуск новой редакции дистрибутива openSUSE - "Leap Micro", основанной на наработках проекта MicroOS. Дистрибутив openSUSE Leap Micro позиционируется как community-версия коммерческого продукта SUSE Linux Enterprise Micro 5.2, чем и объясняется необычный номер первой версии - 5.2, который выбран для синхронизации нумерации выпусков в обоих дистрибутивах. Время поддержки выпуска openSUSE Leap Micro 5.2 составит 4 года.

Ларс Кнолл (Lars Knoll), создатель разработанного для KDE движка KHTML, который лёг в основу движков браузеров Safari и Chrome, объявил об уходе с поста технического директора компании Qt Company и главного сопровождающего Qt после 25 лет работы в экосистеме данного проекта. По мнению Ларса после его ухода проект останется в надёжных руках и продолжит развитие в соответствии с теми же принципами. В качестве мотива ухода называется желание попробовать заняться чем то другим, помимо фреймворка Qt, которым он занимается ещё со студенческих времён.

Опубликован выпуск проекта PikaScript 1.8, развивающего компактный движок для написания приложений для микроконтроллеров на языке Python.

PikaScript не привязан к внешним зависимостям и может работать на микроконтроллерах с 4 КБ ОЗУ и 32 КБ Flash, таких как STM32G030C8 и STM32F103C8.

Для сравнения для работы MicroPython требуется 16 КБ ОЗУ и 256КБ Flash, а для Snek - 2 КБ ОЗУ и 32 КБ Flash.

Код проекта написан на языке Си и распространяется под лицензией MIT.

Отдельно отмечается простота интеграции скриптов PikaScript с кодом на языке Си - к коду могут привязываться написанные на языке Си функции, что позволяет при внедрении PikaScript использовать наработки старых проектов, написанных на я…

Oblique Strategies (subtitled Over One Hundred Worthwhile Dilemmas ) is a card-based method for promoting creativity jointly created by musician/artist Brian Eno and multimedia artist Peter Schmidt , first published in 1975.

Physically, it takes the form of a deck of 7-by-9-centimetre (2.8 in × 3.5 in) printed cards in a black box.

Eno, who had known Schmidt since the late 1960s, had been pursuing a similar project himself, which he had handwritten onto a number of bamboo cards and given the name "Oblique Strategies" in 1974.

With public interest in the cards undiminished, in 2001 Eno once again produced a new set of Oblique Strategies cards.

The story of Oblique Strategies, along with the …

Today’s numbers involve index funds: Mutual funds that seek to replicate market indicators like the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index or the Nasdaq market or the total U.S. stock market rather than try to outperform them.

Whether you call it revenge or democratization, index assets exceeding active assets is an amazing development, given that active retail mutual funds have been around roughly forever, while retail index funds didn’t exist until 1976.

That’s because the fees on index funds averaged 0.43%, or 43 basis points, less than the cost of active funds.

Story continuesAnd now with retail index funds having gotten bigger than actively-managed funds, you can almost hear Bogle cackling from t…

Art for The Intrinsic Perspective is by Alexander NaughtonIt is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

In this best-case scenario human artists use AI-artists mostly as a tool, like a more complex paintbrush.

To steal some terminology from analytic philosophy, let us call these latter properties the “intrinsic” properties of art to separate them from the merely extrinsic properties of art.

For you were born into a world where most things were made by human consciousness.

You may die in a world where nothing is made by human consciousness.

The invasion followed a detailed plan that the United States Navy had drawn up the previous year.

The Americans installed a puppet government, and by that fall Haiti had signed a treaty giving the United States full financial control.

Many administrators appointed by the United States came from Southern states and made no bones about the worldview they brought with them.

But the American military, along with a constabulary it trained and oversaw, seized men and forced them to work far from home for no pay.

In 1917, the United States directed Haiti’s National Assembly to ratify a new Constitution to allow foreigners to own land.

Our latest roundup of the best tech deals from around the web is headlined by a truckload of discounts on good PC games.

Most of those are due to the return of the Epic Games Store's annual "Mega Sale," which began earlier this week and runs until June 16.

As with previous promotions from Epic's PC game storefront, the new sale is most notable for offering an unlimited-use coupon that applies to any purchase of $14.99 or more.

As with past Epic sales, the coupon doesn't apply to DLC or in-game purchases, nor will it work with preorders.

The infrastructure law set aside $3.5 billion for direct air capture, and the DOE plans to use that to fund four facilities spread across the US.

Most scenarios for limiting end-of-century warming assume we'll emit enough carbon dioxide in the next few decades to overshoot our climate goals and will therefore need to remove some from the atmosphere.

It plans to use that to fund four carbon-capture and storage centers spread across the US, each with the capability of permanently storing a million metric tons of carbon dioxide a year.

The entire project will be subject to life-cycle analysis to determine the actual capture potential of any projects.

This will include all the materials and ene…

Researchers said on Friday that they found a malicious backdoor in a WordPress plugin that gave attackers full control of websites that used the package, which is marketed to schools.

Obvious backdoorJetpack said it discovered the backdoor after support team members at WordPress.com reported finding heavily obfuscated code on several sites that used School Management Pro.

“The code itself isn’t all that interesting: it’s an obvious backdoor injected into the license-checking code of the plugin,” the JetPack post said.

The backdoor wasn’t in the free version of the plugin, and there’s no indication it was put into other plugins Weblizar publishes.

Now that the presence of the backdoor is pub…

In addition to the deaths, 15 of the 180 cases required liver transplants, Butler reported.

In fact, only 7 percent of the 180 cases occurred in the last two weeks, Butler said.

He was also careful to avoid saying that the cases were part of an outbreak, noting that the agency is not detecting an overall increase in the number of unexplained hepatitis cases it usually sees.

Butler added that about 30 percent to 50 percent of those pediatric hepatitis cases go unexplained each year.

Thus, the 180 unexplained cases over a seven-month period don't ring statistical alarm bells.

Fecal samples are usually found in dry caves, desert areas, frozen areas, or waterlogged environments (like bogs), where desiccation, freezing, and similar processes preserve the fecal matter for posterity.

As we've reported previously, it can be difficult to determine whether fecal samples are human or were produced by other animals, particularly dogs.

Prior studies have compared fecal parasites found in hunter-gatherer and farming communities, thereby revealing dramatic dietary changes, as well as shifts in settlement patterns and social organization coinciding with the rise of agriculture.

Hence, today's Disney+ premiere of Chip 'N Dale: Rescue Rangers—a PG-rated reboot with little in the way of advance press screenings—had us assuming the worst, despite of its comedy pedigree.

Chip 'N Dale is a self-aware comedy romp that families will appreciate.

Samberg's opening narration suggests that the phrase "Chip 'N Dale" is likely to remind viewers of a few things—and it then flashes a PG-rated image of male strippers.

Any time Chip 'N Dale's momentum appears to stutter, the film offers up a dose of humor and whimsy.

Chip 'N Dale: Rescue Rangers is now streaming exclusively on Disney+.

Qualcomm's mid-cycle "plus" chip refresh—the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1—has been announced.

As usual, Qualcomm is promising some modest improvements over the existing 8 Gen 1 chip.

For the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Plus, Qualcomm is moving the chip from Samsung Foundry to TSMC, which is apparently where the power improvements are coming from.

The chip has not fared very well in the real world, with the CPU regularly turning in lower benchmark scores than 2021's flagship Snapdragon 888.

After a foundry change and a CPU MHz boost, Qualcomm's 2022 CPU might finally be faster than its 2021 counterpart.

If you were hoping to use a trio of 4K displays, you're out of luck.

The dock can only support one 4K monitor at a time, and the output will be limited to a 30 Hz refresh rate.

The 4K monitor will run at 30 Hz, but you can no longer use another monitor at 2560×1440.

That list includes a $200 hub with a similar port selection to the Anker 563 and a two-year limited warranty (the Anker dock gives 18 months).

Alternatively, and for several hundred dollars more, you could buy a new MacBook and upgrade to an M1 Pro, M1 Max, or M1 Ultra processor.

Last month, Hearthstone broke a long-standing precedent by selling a single cosmetic card upgrade for a whopping $25 (or a similar amount of in-game currency).

Drek'Thar has been an extremely popular Hearthstone card since its release in December alongside the Fractured in Alterac Valley set.

Diamond cards were first introduced in a late-March Hearthstone update as a purely cosmetic modification to existing cards.

For players who spent money on Diamond Drek'Thar, though, Blizzard is going the extra mile with its refund.

And that refund is on top of the nerfed Diamond Drek'Thar itself, which players will get to keep as evidence of their conspicuous digital consumption.

A new study released this week looks into how close we are to reaching that ideal for 61 different metals.

Along the way, its authors figure out how long different metals stay in circulation before they're lost and identify the stage at which those losses take place.

For metals, these include the production of a raw material from ores, the metal's use in the fabrication of products, and its loss during the product's use.

Both steps involve some loss of iron and any other metals that happen to be in the same ore.

The authors performed individual analyses for each of the 61 metals and aggregated them into a number of groups: ferrous metals (iron and its relatives), non-ferrous metals, special…

At its “Spacetech Day” event at its Alameda, California, headquarters, company executives offered some details about a new rocket called Rocket 4.0.

On Wednesday, May 11, British launch company Orbex revealed what it declared to be a "prototype" of its Prime orbital rocket.

These include low-carbon fuels, 3D-printed rocket engines, and lightweight fuel tanks.

The Prime rocket will launch from Space Hub Sutherland, a new spaceport being constructed on the north coast of Scotland.

The Artemis I mission will encompass the debut launch for NASA's large Space Launch System rocket and the second orbital flight of its Orion spacecraft.

Hyundai and Kia are recalling nearly 20,000 of their newest electric vehicles.

The problem affects the impressive Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6, a pair of EVs built using the Korean OEMs' new E-GMP platform.

Specifically, the issue is to do with the EVs' parking brake function.

The issue was identified by the automakers in Korea; Hyundai says that it received four claims of Ioniq 5s being affected.

The recall affects 9,014 Kia EV6s, and 10,729 Hyundai Ioniq 5s, and owners are advised to use the electronic parking brake when parking their vehicles rather than just turning them off and walking away.

With help from the Thomas opinion, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton argued that Texas can regulate social media platforms as common carriers.

A famous example of this is found with playing the lottery (i.e., the lottery fallacy).

It is well understood that it is incredibly unlikely that any particular person will win the lottery.

For example, the chance of any one ticket winning the Powerball lottery (the particular lottery analyzed in this chapter) is 1/292,000,000.

When we ask ourselves, “What are the odds of that person winning?” we are asking the wrong question and referring to the wrong fraction.

The odds of that particular person winning are 1/292,000,000.

Baymax!, the Disney+ sequel to 2014’s Big Hero 6, will debut on June 29th.

Disney shared the release date on Friday, alongside a new trailer showing the loveable healthcare robot from the film attempting to help the citizens of San Fransokyo.

“In each of our six episodes, Baymax just wants to help someone—and a lot of times they don’t want to be helped,” said creator Don Hall.

is the second Big Hero 6 sequel following Big Hero 6: The Series, a 2D animated show that ran for three seasons on the Disney Channel.

The new series will feature the return of Scott Adsit, Ryan Potter and Maya Rudolph as the voices of Baymax, Hiro and Aunt Cass, respectively.

You get Netflix's Love, Death and Robots, an anthology series that's meant to remind viewers that cartoons aren't just for kids.

Love, Death and Robots, which just released its third season on Netflix, feels like a crash course in the unlimited storytelling potential of animation.

Jennifer Yuh Nelson, supervising director for Love, Death and Robots, tells Engadget that the animation industry has certainly made progress when it comes to telling more mature stories.

With every season of Love, Death and Robots, Nelson says that she and Miller are focused on finding stories that evoke a sense of "nerd joy."

Boeing's Starliner has successfully reached and docked with the International Space Station, completing an important step for a crucial test flight that would determine whether it's ready for crewed missions.

Starliner made its first attempt to reach the ISS in December 2019 but failed to achieve its goal due to a software issue that prevented the spacecraft's thrusters from firing.

As The Washington Post reports, two of its 12 main thrusters failed shortly after launch, and its temperature control system malfunctioned.

Boeing said Starliner's main thrusters failed due to a drop in pressure in the thruster chamber, but it's not clear what had caused it.

If the spacecraft successfully comes …

Oracle CEO Larry Ellison was involved in a call where a number of influential GOP figures—including Senator Lindsay Graham (R-SC), Fox News anchor Sean Hannity and Trump attorney Jay Sekulow — brainstormed ways to contest the 2020 presidential election, reported the Washington Post.

The automaker has struck a deal with Georgia to build its first dedicated EV factory in the US.

The 2,923-acre plant near Savannah will make cars and batteries when production is projected to start in the first half of 2025.

The factory is less than 31 miles from Savannah's port, which is the largest container stopover in the US and has two railway facilities at its disposal.

Not surprisingly, both Georgia and Hyundai are touting economic benefits.

The annual production level won't be quite as strong as Hyundai's conventional manufacturing output.

The Federal Communications Commission is aiming to boost rural broadband internet speeds through proposed changes to the Alternative Connect America Cost Model (A-CAM) program.

The target is to improve minimum download and upload speeds to 100/20 Mbps in areas served by carriers that receive A-CAM support.

The A-CAM Broadband Coalition proposed the creation of an Enhanced A-CAM program.

It's also seeking comment on how to align the Enhanced A-CAM program with Congressional goals and programs at other agencies.

"[Some] consumers served by A-CAM carriers could see a four-fold, 10-fold or even 20-fold increase in their speeds."

Amazon’s new Fire 7 tablets — due to arrive this summer — will be equipped with improved software.

tablets will come with Fire OS 8, an entirely new version of the Fire operating system that is based on Android 11.

Given that Google no longer releases security patches or updates for Android 9 , this will be welcome news for Fire tablet owners.

As Liliputing points out, most of what Fire OS 8 changes bring to the table seem to be under-the-hood security updates.

The new OS will also support HEIF or (High Efficiency Image File) format images, an update to JPEGs that most Apple and Android smartphones have supported since 2018.

Earlier this week, Bleeding Cool revealed some art for the newest Power Ranger comic, an untitled series following a new Omega Ranger, currently only known as the Death Ranger.

But it is official: the Death Ranger uses they/them pronouns, and is nonbinary, and is devastatingly hot.

The other Ranger they mentioned is Orisonth, from the Power Squadron Rangers.

Joining The Batman’s Robert Pattinson in Mickey7, the upcoming sci-fi film from auteur Bong Joon Ho, are Naomi Ackie (Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker), Toni Collette (Nightmare Alley), a nd Mark Ruffalo (The Adam Project, She-Hulk).

It’s been a while since the director’s multi-O scar haul for Parasite and we couldn’t be more excited about this latest development.

Whenever there’s a mission that’s too dangerous—even suicidal—the crew turns to Mickey.

It figures that Ruffalo, Collette, and Ackie will fill out some of the crew mentioned.

No announcement of a production start has been made but we’ll wait for another Batman movie if we can get this one first.

No one really understands what the Metaverse is despite Zuckerberg’s best efforts to sell people on it being their future.

This isn’t the first time a tech exec has derided the hazy concept that is the Zuckerberg Metaverse.

It is a virtual world, most can agree on that, and it somehow combines virtual reality, augmented reality, and social media to create a sort of digital, three-dimensional version of the internet (think Ralph Breaks the Internet).

But Meta is really banking on this virtual world as its flagship social network loses (and then regains) users.

Now, newly released documents show that Chicago cops can catfish as part of their social media surveillance strategy, as first revealed in a report from The Intercept.

The Chicago Police Department created the Social Media Exploration (SOMEX) Team in 2019.

Manufactured social media profiles, not linked to any real person, are theoretically a violation of Facebook’s authenticity policy.

Specifically, the new contract covers 5,000 licenses for Babel X—a software that combs through the social media profiles of people within a certain geographic area, according to reporting by The Washington Post.

Chinese telecommunications equipment is no longer wanted in the Great White North.

Canadian officials on Thursday announced a new ban on Huawei and ZTE 5G telecommunications equipment over alleged national security concerns.

Google finally launched a solution for people with "legacy" G Suite Google accounts.

After initially threatening to shut down free G Suite accounts if users didn't start paying for the service, Google has completely backed off.

The saga so far, if you haven't been following, is that Google has a custom-domain user account service, currently called "Google Workspace" and previously called "G Suite" and "Google Apps."

Google posted an announcement in January declaring these people "Legacy G Suite users" and basically told them, "Pay up or lose your account."

According to a report by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple has demonstrated a new Apple-made VR headset to its board.

It could be weeks, months, or even a couple years before an Apple headset surfaces, but the takeaway is that the device does indeed seem to exist.

The upcoming headset uses both virtual-reality and augmented-reality tech, and while Apple is also expected to announce a pair of AR-only glasses someday, they’re not as far along.

When the headset does come out, it’s likely to shake up the wearable VR ecosystem.

Still, Meta’s gone all-in on its AR and VR ambitions, all the while hemorrhaging $10 billion on its metaverse efforts.

At the same time, hacktivists all around the world continue to breach Russian institutions and publish their files and emails.

It bombed because, being itself about self-hatred and nostalgia and the tyranny of screens, it was hated by self-hating nostalgic netizens.

If Matrix 4 fails at anything, it’s in forgetting that self-haters never want to look in the mirror.

In this resurrected Matrix, he’s a world-famous game designer, and the original trilogy was simply a game of his own creation, not real.

In other words, the being newly enslaving the masses, the villain of The Matrix Resurrections, is a run-of-the-mill therapist.

Apple tasked BOE with making iPhone 13 displays last October, a short-lived deal that ended earlier this month when Apple reportedly caught BOE cutting corners on its displays.

This decision could continue to haunt BOE, however, as Apple may take the company off the job of making the OLED display for the iPhone 14 as well.

According to The Elec, BOE sent an executive to Apple’s Cupertino headquarters to explain the incident and says it didn’t receive an order to make iPhone 14 displays.

Part of that was the repair process — mostly, it was how difficult Apple makes it to even get there.

The thing you should understand about Apple’s home repair process is that it’s a far cry from DIY.

I expected Apple would send me a small box of screwdrivers, spudgers, and pliers; I own a mini iPhone, after all.

But a lot of that thrill came from not knowing whether my phone would survive surgery — Apple tools or no.

At one point, Apple hadn’t yet decided whether to move forward with a more powerful VR headset that would be paired with a base station or a standalone one.

While Apple’s AR / VR leader Mike Rockwell apparently preferred the version with the base station — which included a processor that eventually shipped as the M1 Ultra, according to The Information — Apple executives chose to go with the standalone product.

But other prototypes have had the battery in the headset’s headband, and it’s unclear which will be used in the final design, The Information says.

Wind energy costs have already plummeted thanks to more efficient turbines, but there’s still a major hurdle to overcome when it comes to renewable energy: intermittency.

So, accurate weather forecasts are crucial for utilities to be able to plan how much wind energy they’ll have on hand on any given day.

In 2015, the Department of Energy launched a four-year study into the atmospheric processes that affect wind power forecasts.

But those gains could grow as forecasting improves and more affordable wind energy comes online in the US.

One of the more galling 'service' changes airlines made was to charge passengers for every seat on the plane.

I was moved, therefore, to contemplative teeth-chattering on hearing that Delta Air Lines was introducing something that passengers have actually craved for so long.

So, as the Points Guy reported, Delta borrowed a word from Uber and introduced "dynamic' seat maps.

With this dynamic algorithm, Delta might be able to boast of better on-time departure numbers.

SolarWinds is ready to move past the "cyber incident", having spent the past year bolstering its build model and processes to better mitigate future cybersecurity breaches.

Mention SolarWinds and most would recall a colossal security breach that triggered when a malware-laced update for the vendor's Orion network monitoring platform was sent to customers.

While SolarWinds already had capabilities in this aspect prior to the breach, more were added across all elements of security, he said.

And while it remained associated with the security breach, he said SolarWinds also should be associated with how it handled and dealt with the breach and emerged from it.

As a result, consumers’ attention is now hard to catch, and tech companies are fighting for it because it’s monetizable.

The Current Attention EconomyFor now, the way tech corporations collect and utilize consumers’ data is the primary concern.

Likewise, O’Reilly assessed that an Indian user’s ‘data price tag’ would fall to a shocking less than $1 a year.

For instance, California’s Consumer Privacy Act grants internet users the right to delete their data and opt-out of their personal data sale.

On Twitter, a student from South Africa posted the email Apple sent them about Apple Music’s increased price:“Thank you for subscribing to ‌Apple Music‌.

Interestingly, new FCC filings this week reveal a mysterious new “Network Adapter” from Apple that runs iOS.

Apple’s mysterious Network Adapter has two Gigabit Ethernet ports, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and NFC antennas, plus a USB-C port.

Based on the documents, the adapter runs firmware “19F47,” which is an early internal version of iOS 15.5.

With this in mind, we assume that the adapter runs based on an Apple Silicon chip, just like Apple’s Studio Display.

9to5Mac’s TakeOf course, this doesn’t mean that Apple’s Network Adapter will ever see the light of day – at least for regular consumers.

Apple has apparently advanced its plans to expand manufacturing outside of China, telling contract manufacturer partners that it is aiming to diversify production.

Although some of Apple’s products are already produced in countries like Vietnam and India, the vast majority of Apple’s manufacturing takes place in China, at Foxconn and Pegatron facilities.

The transition to alternative production hubs like India or Vietnam will be slow and gradual.

For Apple, this means the supply chain for new products (like the AR headset) will likely be predominantly based outside of China.

Apple production partners like Foxconn have already established facilities in India to help produce iPhones for the d…

With Apple discontinuing the original HomePod last year, users were eager for a new iteration of the company’s bigger smart speaker.

The journalist says a new HomePod would be a combo between Apple TV, the smart speaker, and a FaceTime device.

Apple does appear to recognize this, and it’s developing a combined Apple TV, HomePod and FaceTime camera home hub device for release around 2023.

When Apple will release a new HomePodLast year, Bloomberg‘s Mark Gurman said this Apple TV + HomePod new product would launch as soon as 2023.

Apple would release a new version of HomePod in 4Q22-1Q23, and there may not be much innovation in hardware design.

Apple Business Essentials is an important product for Apple.

The enemy of Apple Business Essentials isn’t other MDM vendors.

Yes, Apple loves the subscription revenue from Apple Business Essentials, but they love selling Macs, iPads, and iPhones.

The enemy is unmanaged devicesAs I said initially, Apple’s goal with Apple Business Essentials isn’t to take over the MDM market.

If that’s in Apple Business Essentials or another MDM vendor, Apple wins either way.

However, there’s one thing that I still miss about the HomePod, and that’s a true surround mode.

I currently have two TVs at home, and each of them has an Apple TV connected.

But even though they support Dolby Atmos, HomePod still doesn’t really support true surround.

True surround mode for HomePodSince the HomePod supports Dolby Atmos, which is a technology that enables three-dimensional sound, a true surround mode would take the experience of using HomePods as TV speakers to the next level.

If there’s one feature I wish for tvOS 16 and HomePod Software 16, that’s a true surround mode for the HomePod.

Twitter on Friday announced an important update to its “API v2,” which can be used to create third-party clients for Twitter.

With the latest update, developers can now access the same reverse chronological timeline that is available to users via the official Twitter app.

It ‘s worth noting that while developers can implement Twitter API v2 for free, unlocking it for a large amount of apps and tweets requires elevated access through a paid plan.

iCloud Photos is a fantastic feature for syncing large photo and video libraries across all your devices.

iCloud Photos really doesn’t encourage methods of keeping separate, offline copies of photos and videos.

That’s the thing about iCloud Photos.

9to5Mac’s TakeLet’s just say there is regret, and maintaining proper iCloud Photos backups would have been wise.

Видимо, эппл все же решили прибавить темп и к концу года нам тоже что-то покажут!https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-05-19/apple-shows-headset-to-board-in-sign-it-s-reached-advanced-stage

Meta замораживает инвестиции в ряд продуктов и останавливает найм — речь идет о таких продуктах, как Facebook Dating, Gaming, Messenger Kids, Remote Presence и Commerce. Часть из них явно не прибыльна, некоторые запущены во время пандемии и, видимо, испытывают откат.Правда, компания не планирует сокращений, как заверил на внутреннем собрании Закерберг. Таким образом, речи о закрытии этих продуктов тоже нет. При этом идет активный найм в команды, занимающиеся машинным обучением и AI. https://www.theverge.com/2022/5/18/23125571/meta-hiring-freeze-commerce-messenger-kids-facebook-gaming

Сходите по ссылке и послушайте примеры текущего переднего края исследований по синтезу речи. Особенно оцените естественность дыхания в процессе речи и мелкие дефекты произношения. Это пока научная работа от Microsoft Research, которую вероятно будут внедрять в Microsoft Azure Speech и качество синтеза там такое, что я не могу отличить его от живого человека.Теперь надо еще такое же качество распознавания речи и NLP - и мы получим настоящий интерфейс для взаимодействия человк-компьютер, не требующий обучения. https://speechresearch.github.io/naturalspeech/

Ian Goodfellow, бывший директор по ИИ в Apple вышел на новую работу. Обошлось без сюрпризов, он вышел на работу в Гугл, в отделение DeepMind. По сути, Гудфеллоу пробыл в эппле всего 2 года и вернулся в Гугл из-за того, что Тим Кук начал загонять всех обратно в офисы.Так, из-за непонимания культуры и желаний технарей Эппл потеряли своего самого именитого и громкого специалиста по машинному обучению. Поучительно для всех, мне кажется https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-05-17/ian-goodfellow-former-apple-director-of-machine-learning-to-join-deepmind

---=== реклама ===---Не все VPN в России теперь одинаково полезны. Большая часть VPNов создавались только для безопасности передачи данных и совсем не умеют жить в среде, где с ними активно борются государственные службы. В результате, выбрав неудачный VPN сервис, вы попадаете в ситуацию, когда всё безопасно, но ничего не работает. Но есть и правильные сервисы, такие как Red Shield VPN. В нем, кажется, сделано всё, для того чтобы реально идеально работать в России и соседних регионах.- Прямая оплата через российские карты, включая карты МИР.

Если вы хотите заглянуть в будущее - посмотрите на новый кампус гугла, Bay View HQ. Это первый кампус, который гугл не купили, а задизайнили сами. Всё на возобновляемой энергии (буквально каждая крыша это современная солнечная батарея), всё в едином стиле, выглядит масштабно и узнаваемо.Кажется я в первый раз в жизни хочу сьездить и посмотреть на кампус гугла по своей воле. https://www.engadget.com/google-opens-bay-view-campus-110547124.html

В предварительном заявлении для SEC руководство Твиттера заявляет, что “стремится завершить транзакцию по согласованной цене и условиям как можно скорее”. Т.е. по сути они показывают, что затягивает сделку Маск, а не они.Мне кажется, что сигнал скорее негативный и показывает, что вероятность совершения сделки продолжает снижаться https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/twitter-files-preliminary-proxy-statement-for-acquisition-by-elon-musk-301548754.html

В NYT довольно подробный обзор работы агенств, работающих вокруг OnlyFans. Оказалось, они по сути управляют профилями моделей и нанимают целые команды домохозяек, сидящих дома и общающихся с подписчиками в сообщениях вместо самой модели.Удивительный бизнес, конечно. Главное, чтобы фанаты моделей не понимали, что общаются с какими-то там наемными гострайтерами. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/05/16/magazine/e-pimps-onlyfans.html

В Шанхае за апрель небыло продано ни одной машины, что несколько меньше чем 26311 автомобиль проданный за апрель 2021го. Причина - локдаун и ковид. В городе 25 миллионов жителей которые по сути не выходят из дома, чуть меньше миллиона из них вообще под охраной. Улицы пустые, ездят только курьеры и редкие автомобили со специальным разрешением от муниципалитета.Кажется Китай наконец-то встретился с ковидом по-настоящему https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-05-16/not-a-single-car-was-sold-in-shanghai-last-month

Спотифай подтвердил, что запускает тест, позволяющий некоторым артистам продавать NFT в своих профилях. История важная, потому что стриминг уже давно стал главным местом монетизации для многих артистов, а что еще продавать кроме мерча?По большому счету, спотифай сам не участвует в торговле, а только позволяет артистам промотировать продажу токенов. Но даже это уже вызвало какие-то непонятные негативные отлклики некоторых пользователей. https://musically.com/2022/05/13/spotify-artists-promote-nfts/

Кажется всё, теперь с Luna Guard Foundation окончательно всё: из резерва в 80 тысяч биткоинов осталось только 300 и они, а так же остатки UST и LUNA фонда будут использованы для компенсации инвесторам. Все остальные могут просто забыть о своих деньгах.Больше писать про это не буду, но сама по себе история по негативному воздействию на криптоиндустрию сравнима с падением MtGox. И это, пожалуй, хорошо. Инвесторы должны тщательно взвешивать, куда и зачем вкладывают свои деньги.https://www.coindesk.com/business/2022/05/16/luna-foundation-guard-left-with-313-bitcoin-after-ust-crash/

Маск “временно приостанавливает сделку” по покупке Твиттера. Не навсегда, а временно, дальше опять цитата “в ожидании подробностей, подтверждающих расчеты о том, что спам / поддельные аккаунты действительно составляют менее 5% пользователей”.Великий шоумен. Действительно, почти как Старк. https://www.reuters.com/technology/musk-says-44-billion-twitter-deal-hold-2022-05-13/

Вчера гугл показали новую линейку своих устройств, начиная от телефонов и планшетов, заканчивая наушниками. Кажется модельный ряд на 100% повторяет Apple. Особенно умилительно, как гугл, 3 года высмеивавший Эппл за отсутствие разьема для наушников молча убрал этот же разьем из новых своих телефонов.Вообще это обычная американская традиция — в рекламе смеяться над конкурентом. Она там не так остро воспринимается как в Европе. https://www.theverge.com/2022/5/11/23067702/google-pixel-6a-headphone-jack

«Син» вместо SinsayВ Россию возвращаются магазины одежды Reserved, Sinsay, Cropp, Mohito и House. Они начнут открываться на этих выходных.Владелец брендов, польский ритейлер LPP SA, продал российские магазины китайскому консорциуму. Но права на торговые марки ему не достанутся, поэтому Reserved будет представлен как Re, а Cropp — как Cr.

Во времена, когда в России еще можно было легко смотреть Netflix, многим нравились два сезона ироничного мультика Love, Death + Robots. И был там классный эпизод про трёх роботов, исследующих постапокалиптический мир, в котором люди успешно себя истребили.Так вот, сейчас на канале Нетфликса на YouTube выложен полный эпизод третьего сезона, как раз про дальнейшие приключения троицы роботов на обезлюдевшей Земле. Как и предыдущий, он не очень добр к человечеству и скептичен к технологиям, так что если кому не хватает тревожности, можно посмотреть и опечалиться :)А можно и просто посмотреть, мне лично понравился — особенно финал:))https://youtu.be/1dsxBKuL_aw

Маск, конечно, эпатажник и шоумен, а часто и фантазёр в лучшем смысле этого слова — но вот его резкий поворот в истории с покупкой Твиттера, похоже, просто хорошая работа с данными, а не блажь и не выпендрёж: только что опубликовали отчет с анализом фоловеров текущего Президента США — и оказалось, что из 22 миллионов подписчиков — 49% боты и фейковые акки. Понятно, что у знаменитости разных ботов больше в подписчиках, чем у простого пользователя, но авторы отчета пишут: Our analysis found that 19.42%, nearly four times Twitter’s Q4 2021 estimate, fit a conservative definition of fake or spam accounts. Не удивлюсь, если цифры попали к Маску до публикации и он имел даже шансы пообщаться с авт…

Разными бывают природные красоты:) В этой заметке приведены фотки и видео Солнца, снятые с близкого по астрономическим меркам расстояния: европейский зонд Solar Orbiter в момент съёмки находился внутри орбиты Меркурия, ближе к Солнцу, чем любая планета нашей системы.

Немного фоток и ролик про новый недавно открывшийся кампус Гугла по имени Bay View. Адептам полной и безусловной удаленки концепция кампуса кажется устаревшей, но в Гугле понимают, что люди разные — как и их вкусы и предпочтения, поэтому будущее работы гибридное, а не чисто удалённое; а вот требования к уюту и удобству рабочего места за время локдаунов подросли: ведь теперь появилась конкуренция с домашним офисом. Так что новый кампус выглядит не просто красиво — но и очень функционально для работы больших гибридных команд.https://9to5google.com/2022/05/17/google-bay-view-campus/

На фоне разных железячных новостей с гугловского I/O незаслуженно незамеченной оказалась новость о том, что разработчики тамошней языковой модели PaLM добились результата, за которым давно гоняются в машинном обучении — модель смогла понимать и внятно объяснять некоторые шутки. С чувством юмора у искусственного интеллекта в его современном виде наблюдаются большие проблемы, и это одна из причин, ограничивающих массу применений: например, качественная модерация текстов невозможна без умения отличать серьезное высказывание от сарказма. А уж что говорить о живых диалогах или литературном творчестве.И вот пусть не полная победа, но очень заметный прорывhttps://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-sof…

Крылатки — семена растений с сухими крылышками, делающими их похожими на вертолётики (и таким образом позволяющими дереву осеменять большие площади) не раз вдохновляли создателей современных дронов, но свежий результат команды из университета Гонконга реально впечатляет: их устройство весом меньше 50 грамм и диаметром «крылышек» около 60 см, способно держаться в воздухе 24 минуты!Малюсенькие электродвигатели раскручивают не само крыло, а миниатюрные пропеллеры вблизи кончиков крыла - дальше работают чудеса аэродинамики. Картинка завораживает, но интересно дождаться практических применений: уж больно фантастическим выглядит соотношение массы и времени полета по меркам привычных квадрокоптеро…

Когда читаешь такую новость, даже не понимаешь, как интерпретировать: то ли как индикатор уровня российских ситкомов, то ли как промо Skillbox, то ли просто маркетологи СТС проснулись и решили использовать слова про искусственный интеллект как маркетинговую замануху :)https://telesputnik.ru/materials/tech/news/v-rossii-snimut-serial-po-stsenariyu-neyroseti/

Спутниковый интернет от Маска стал доступен уже в 32 странах; еще больше — на подходе. Ещё две хорошие новости (для этих стран): 1. Терминалы могут перемещаться по территории страны, где они зарегистрированы: сценарий использования, например, автотуристами стал доступен. 2. Очередь на терминалы практически рассосалась, связанные с остановками производства задержки удалось победить.Впрочем, карта показывает, что даже в перспективе не всех стран касается возможность получения интернета с неба; неудивительно, что Россия и Китай ни в какие coming soon списке не попадаютhttps://www.geeky-gadgets.com/starlink-satellite-internet-coverage-16-05-2022/

Очередное достижение беспилотников — и как всегда в случае перевозки грузов, а не людей, с хорошими перспективами. Грузовоз водоизмещением 750 тонн прошёл в Токийском заливе 790 км за 40 часов, в процессе встретил сотни судов (этот залив - бойкое место) и самостоятельно совершил 107 манёвров. автономные грузоперевозки по воде и суше все ближе — да и перевалка грузов тоже активно автоматизируется. Вся эта мировая грузовая логистика в итоге оказывается для машинного обучения куда большей поляной чем любые такси — пусть такси и зрелищней выглядит ;)https://electrek.co/2022/05/13/autonomous-cargo-ship-completes-500-mile-voyage-avoiding-hundreds-of-collisions/

Хорошей инфографикой меня трудно удивить: насмотрелся разного. Но вот эта картинка про человечество, сколько людей сейчас живет на Земле, и сколько жило с момента появления людей на планете, меня умудрилась впечатлить.

Марк Цукерберг поделился видео, в котором он тестирует новые очки смешанной реальности из Project Cambria, которые позволяют на картинку реального мира накладывать виртуальные элементы высоко разрешения, обеспечивая визуально фотореалистичную смесь двух миров.Но вообще я впервые вижу, как в материале про новинку заблюрен ее внешний вид :) Интересно, что такого секретного можно увидеть на прототипе очков.https://www.facebook.com/4/posts/10114473358420501/ (Если не хочется посещать запрещённую в России соцсеточку, вот вам заметка про тизерный пост Цукерберга) https://www.theverge.com/2022/5/12/23068536/meta-project-cambria-vr-ar-demo-mark-zuckerberg

Китай собирается войти в эру автономного строительства уже к 2024 году. Учёные поднебесной разработали систему искусственного интеллекта, которая будет управлять беспилотной армией грузовиков, бульдозеров, асфальтоукладчиков и другой тяжёлой техникой, которая будет круглосуточно сооружать 180-и метровую дамбу Yangqu из 3д напечатанных деталей. Вся строительная площадка будет напичкана сенсорами и датчиками, что позволит системе анализировать состояние дамбы как во время строительства, так и после него.По словам учёных из университета Цинхуа, если проект завершится успехом, это может быть началом более массового применения такого инновационного подхода в строительстве 🤖🏗https://www.businessi…

Среди роботов, которые намеренно сконструированы как гибрид чего-то очень человекообразного и подчёркнуто механического, наиболее известна София — ее и в ООН приглашали выступать, и в Питере на ПМЭФ Греф ее привозил на завтрак. Впрочем, там реальных технологий было меньше чем пиара, за что специалисты по машинному обучению Софию сильно не любили. А вот менее известная художница Аи-Да с очень человеческим лицом, обрамлённым красивыми волосами, и изящно механическими руками в прошлом месяце на венецианской биеннале реально покорила публику. Ну впечатляет же, когда эта роботесса пишет с натуры неплохие портреты вполне традиционными методами — кисточками по холсту. И сама, безусловно, является …

Сонификация данных, получаемых от разных космических объектов, — красивая штука, давно используется и учеными, и саунд-дизайнерами: лучшую космическую музыку генерит сам космос? Надо просто помочь людям ее услышать. На этот раз пришлось посчитать, какие колебания давления вызывает в горячем межзвездном газе черная дыра — и сдвинуть этот “звук” на 57 октав, чтобы он стал доступен нашему уху. Это редкий случай, когда речь идет о действительно звуке, то есть колебаниях давления в космосе: в основном, конечно, там глубокий вакуум, но именно в галактическом кластере хватает газа, чтобы в нем могли распространяться низкочастотные звуковые волны. https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/chandra/news/new…

К ловким и подвижным четвероногим роботам мы уже привыкли (спасибо Boston Dynamics и не только им). К автономным автомобилям и роверам-доставщикам на колесиках — тоже.Что будет, если скрестить эти подходы? Вариант ответа предлагают инженеры и конструкторы Hyundai, начавшие разработку линейки транспортных средств, которые по достаточно хорошему покрытию быстро катят, но достигнув препятствий, непроходимых для любой крутизны внедорожника, выпускают конечности и начинают передвигаться в стиле знакомых нам робопсов. Первым в линейке будет создан достаточно небольшой ровер для доставки мелких грузов, но в проекте и экипаж на двух человек. Выглядит симпатично:)https://newatlas.com/automotive/hyun…
