Today, we’re announcing AWS Lambda Web Functions, a new form factor that lets you run standard HTTP web applications on Lambda without rewriting your code into an event handler.

Lambda Event Functions are what you already know as Lambda functions.

import express from 'express'; const app = express(); const [host, port] = process.env.AWS_LAMBDA_HTTP_ENDPOINT.split(':'); app.get('/', (req, res) => { res.json({ message: 'Hello from Lambda Web Functions!'

The CLI bundled my source, created the Web Function, published its first revision, attached a Web Function endpoint, and returned a live HTTPS URL in under a minute.

“White-collar” workers are typically people who work in offices doing service-based, knowledge-based, managerial, or administrative work; “blue-collar” workers generally do manual labour or perform skilled trades.

What if we were actually blue-collar, skilled tradespeople all along?

Typically, when we think of blue-collar workers, we think of people who do the hands-on labour of making or fixing stuff.

Blue-collar workers, in general, have successfully ridden the waves of technological change.

It’s usually the white-collar workers who bear the most economic disruption from major technological innovations.

“The Ledger Nano X is the most secure way to manage your cryptocurrency,” advertises the French company Ledger, its hardware wallet for cryptocurrencies.

They insert additional hardware into apparently genuine Ledger Nano X and then sell them to unsuspecting crypto speculators.

If buyers use such a modified hardware wallet and create a seed phrase with it, the attackers automatically read along.

In May, embedded specialist Joe Grand presented at the Hardware.io conference, apparently Ledger Nano[ ]X still manipulated by hand.

Anyone who opens the casing will see nothing other than unmanipulated Ledger Nano X, except for a small antenna wire.

Jev Turns Focused Questions Into Typed AnswersA Jev request separates the information it considers ( state ) from the decisions it makes ( questions ).

In our workflow, state contains the records Unsiloed extracted and the context needed to interpret them.

The recorded answer at answers["row-5"] is { "type": "noul", "noul": 0.94 } .

A plausible instruction can still contain misread text, so a high Jev answer must not cancel a low Unsiloed score.

The threat of an AI share price crash rippling out across global markets is putting world financial stability at risk, the International Monetary fund has warned.

In its twice-yearly Global Financial Stability Report, the IMF highlighted the sky-high valuations for AI companies along with their increasing debt pile as one reason that risks in the system are “elevated”.

The IMF’s analysis underlined the interconnected nature of big AI companies, and the high levels of borrowing being undertaken to fund investment in the sector.

Such a reassessment would then “sharply reduce investment, trigger equity market corrections, and tighten financial conditions, with global spillovers”.

Today’s post looks at part of OpenAI’s math repository that claims to compute faster Fourier transforms.

The main idea is that a length-n Fourier transform can be computed by shuffling the input vector, computing two Fourier transforms of length n/2 on the shuffled components, and then recombining the outputs using atomic arithmetic operations.

Since the invention of the FFT, people have looked for even faster Fourier transforms.

Well, lo and behold, in the massive paper dump OpenAI took on the mathematics world last week, they claim to have a faster Fourier transform.

Unfortunately, I did not find a faster Fourier transform.

This tech market at the moment is so very cooked and for that reason I’m stepping away from tech.

My life is based here in Warrnambool and I choose to work remotely from here.

Hybrid is infeasible even if it were in Melbourne because Melbourne is 3.5hrs away on the train.

I know I can work remotely effectively because I did it for the last 6 years.

So it’s clear that there’s no room for me in tech anymore, so I’m going to chat to some people to figure out what’s next.

I wrote the chapter on app icon history for The iOS App Icon Book.

The other day I found an old note stashed away where I had started researching the macOS version of that chapter (which Michael ultimately ended up writing).

At the time, I didn’t know what to write.

I mean, how do you write a history of icon design for the Mac?

To get my creative juices flowing, I started by researching the different docks in macOS through the years and compiled them all into a single graphic (big shout out to this compilation of images on 512 Pixels).

In response to the increasing sophistication and scale of these attacks, we’ve expanded and greatly strengthened our defenses against them.

The desktop metaphor taught users enough about the machine to navigate it.

Mobile interfaces changed things because a desktop metaphor designed around a large monitor, keyboard, and mouse did not translate cleanly to a small touchscreen.

Traditional desktop applications often had a visible menu bar containing categories such as File, Edit, View, Tools, and Help.

The Desktop Is Not DeadDespite all this, the desktop metaphor has not disappeared.

Modern interfaces have solved real problems, and many of the changes that weakened the traditional desktop metaphor also made computers easier to use.

Chasing a -O2 pessimization in antcc— c compilers optimization antccRecently I was benchmarking the generated code efficiency for my C compiler antcc, and I noticed something concerning in a simple Lua benchmark:benchmark opt runtime lua 1.048s lua -O1 1.077s lua -O2 1.410sThe "optimized" builds were actually slower.

The main culprit was in the function luaV_execute , whose code blew up to ~43KB with -O2, ~2.4x bigger than the -O1 build.

We are pleased to announce the release of version 0.14.0 of Creusot, our formal verification tool for Rust.

Totality becomes another law: for all x , y , the trijunction x < y || x == y || y < x must hold.

In particular, this enhances the use of "lemma functions", a common idiom in verification tools similar to Creusot.

( lemma ( n )); }Creusot now translates this call to an assertion that hyp(n) (the precondition of lemma ) is true and an assumption that concl(n) (its postcondition) is true.

If you have any questions about Creusot, you are welcome to join our Zulip channel, or to open a discussion or an issue on the Creusot repository.

Executive SummaryDanfoss AK-SM 800A controllers are widely deployed to manage refrigeration infrastructure in supermarkets, cold-storage facilities, warehouses, and other commercial environments.

Team82 researched the attack surface of the Danfoss AK-SM 800A platform and identified multiple vulnerabilities affecting the embedded web management interface.

What is the Danfoss AK-SM 800A?

Danfoss AK-SM 800A management panel.

Customers using affected AK-SM 800A controllers should upgrade to firmware version R4.3.1 or later as soon as possible.

During the last 3 months, I spent some of my time and tokens decompiling a popular first-person shooter.

Obviously, the overall goal was to learn how to effectively orchestrate autonomous AI agents over the course of months.

Claude agents were running in Claude Code CLI, Codex agents in Codex CLI.

When agents work autonomously, it can go unnoticed and undermine the quality of their work.

As AI agents take on more software development work, orchestrating them becomes a new, much more demanding task for humans.

Back in August I mentioned the new curl performance tests we have running.

The performance tests have only been running for just a little over two months but they have already made us improve curl performance in several areas.

faster URL encoding and decodingMeaning percent encoding the octets that are not safe to use in URLs.

Most printf() calls now run slightly faster (5-15%) because it handles “chunks” instead of single byte-by-byte at a time.

faster number parsingWe have a generic internal function in curl that converts a number provided in ascii to its binary version (for decimal, hexadecimal and octal).

Abstract: Data analysis applications typically aggregate data across many dimensions looking for anomalies or unusual patterns. The SQL aggregate functions and the GROUP BY operator produce zero-dimensional or one-dimensional aggregates. Applications need the N-dimensional generalization of these operators. This paper defines that operator, called the data cube or simply cube. The cube operator generalizes the histogram, cross-tabulation, roll-up, drill-down, and sub-total constructs found in most report writers. The novelty is that cubes are relations. Consequently, the cube operator can be imbedded in more complex non-procedural data analysis programs. The cube operator treats each of the…

Who is vfmaddrnd231pd??

October 12, 2026vfmaddrnd231pd is a unique instruction from the FMA instruction set.

But vfmaddrnd231pd allows the rounding mode to be controlled on a per-instruction basis, and since FMA can emulate addition, subtraction, and multiplication, this mechanism effectively allows any arithmetic to have controllable rounding without AVX-512 – making some algorithms that rely on rounding incredibly faster.

And when you actually run the instruction on a CPU that supports the FMA instruction set, like my Haswell, it raises #UD (“UnDefined instruction”)!

I already found it strange that the SDM only lists vfmaddrnd231pd and not other variants like using pd / ps / sd / ss or 13…

For about a decade, the mainstream understanding has been that psychedelics cause chaos in the brain.

An uninterrupted tripStoliker thinks chaos is not a satisfactory explanation for psychedelics’ effect on the brain.

There were no cognitive tasks researchers routinely go for in brain studies, but there was a purpose behind this omission.

“We wanted to know what the brain was like when somebody was having an authentic, uninterrupted psychedelic experience.

“Once you introduce these sorts of tasks, you’re actually interrupting the very phenomena you are seeking to measure.” And it worked.

If your team is too busy doing their new job to experiment with AI, you're preparing them to be replaced.

Maybe you're okay with this, but hopefully you're not, because it should weigh heavily on you if you truly care about your team.

Sometime in the next six months, you're going to have to start having some hard conversations about moving people on from your company.

# Corey Prophitt » A modern web app in c## INTRO If you wanted a dynamic website in 1994, you wrote a C program, dropped it in a cgi-bin directory, and let Apache fork it per request.

You can write a modern web application in C. I shipped one.

You write C that outputs the HTML directly.

A modern web application typically puts a web server like nginx in front and reverse-proxies to an application server written in another language like Ruby, Python, Go, or Rust.

It was refreshing to just write C. It isn't pretty, but neither is Tailwind.

X Once Again Marks the SpotUpon taking the CEO helm last month, John Ternus began tweeting on X.

It contains a subset of the items they post to X. They’ve posted 34 original new tweets on X so far in October; only 10 on Bluesky.

I see more interesting posts on X than I do on Threads, Bluesky, and Mastodon combined.

My only problem with X now is that I do have to pay attention to avoid wasting time when I visit.

Plus, in addition to the tweets, there are now many interesting people using X to post entire essays and blog posts.

A technology is inevitable if:The technology can perform a task to a standard equal or not markedly inferior to that of an alternative technology doing the same task.

The compass, then, while it was a very powerful and useful technology, was not inevitable in the way that firearms were.

Are modern LLMs inevitable?

Similarly, chemical weapons might be used in terror attacks or to send a message (Sergei Skripal's poisoning in London seems to have fallen into this category).

Looking at all of this, the idea that LLMs are in some sense "inevitable" is more than a little foolish.

ZDNET’s key takeawaysGoogle just unveiled the $180 Fitbit Edge, a smart watch with a slim display.

Also: After one week wearing the Pixel Watch 5, here’s what I want mostTrending Now Ugreen’s liquid-cooled power bank looks impressive, but does it actually work?

It’s a smidge thinner than the Pixel Watch, at 11.5 mm — still not as thin as competitors, but thinner than the Pixel Watch 5 (thank God).

Nina Raemont/ZDNETLike the Pixel Watch 5, wearers will be able to see their workout details, health metrics, and other messages on the Fitbit Edge.

The Fitbit Edge is available to pre-order now, and it’s available everywhere on Oct. 27.

A new Ring Smart Lock was just announced this week, expanding the Ring ecosystem and Alexa devices.

This is useful if your smart lock dies, since you can simply power it long enough to open your door and get inside.

Questions remainWe’re still missing a lot of information about the Ring Smart Lock, including battery life estimates, Matter compatibility, and third-party integrations.

Though we only know the Ring Smart Lock will launch in early 2027, there isn’t a set date for availability yet.

You can sign up to be notified when the smart lock becomes available for purchase.

Torvalds discussed changes in the Linux kernel development process.

AI has become a vital component in finding and fixing bugs in the Linux kernel.

Using it responsibly in the Linux kernel, where generated patches and bug reports can overwhelm maintainers, is another.

The Linux kernel is a project where other people do the real work, and I act as the collection point.

It’s just ugly.”AI in the Linux kernelThat’s not to say AI isn’t useful for finding and fixing mistakes in the Linux kernel.

Microsoft 365 subscribers are about to experience the cloud version of shrinkflation.

Microsoft announced today that it will be making changes to its Microsoft 365 Personal, Family, Premium, and Pro subscriptions.

Currently, if you have a Microsoft 365 Family, Premium, or Pro plan, each member has a fixed OneDrive storage allowance of 1 TB.

And the shrinkage is significant: Instead of 6 TB of storage divided evenly among six shared account holders, Microsoft 365 Family and Premium plans will get a total of 2 TB of shared storage.

The base cost of a Microsoft 365 Family plan is $130 a year, or just a little over $10 per month.

AI use at work is up, touching everything from everyday tasks to hiring and performance reviews.

AI-driven firingsSB 947, somewhat cheekily called the “No Robo Bosses Act,” prohibits employers from outsourcing disciplinary and termination decisions entirely to AI, referred to in the bill as automated decision systems (ADS).

The bill requires employers to check any AI decisions on employee discipline or termination, as well as provide the employee with a description of the reasons for the decision.

It also requires employers to clarify whether “a mass layoff, relocation, or termination is caused by an AI system,” according to a brief on the governor’s website.

Still, when it comes to AI in h…

Only 10% of IT chiefs use agentic AI for modernization.

Only 10% of tech chiefs said they are applying agentic AI as a modernization tool.

This time, instead of replacing mainframes and other legacy systems, the focus is on expanding tangible business capabilities.

“Agentic AI is being used to map hidden dependencies, generate code, and create documentation — all traditionally time-consuming, error-prone processes.

Agentic AI is speeding up initiatives that used to eat months of error-prone manual labor.”In short, agents could be just the latest chapter of a nonstop journey.

ZDNET’s key takeawaysThe new Surface Laptop Ultra launches Oct. 18.

Microsoft announced a launch date for its new Surface Laptop Ultra: October 18th, with a starting price of $2,599 for the lowest-tier configuration (and going up to $6,000 from there).

But the Surface Laptop Ultra was the darling of the show with its own dramatic sizzle reel and focus in live demos.

It’s no surprise that many of the aforementioned features are also core components of Apple’s MacBook Pro, to which the Surface Laptop Ultra is certainly a response.

Sure, Apple’s design language is present when you look at the Surface Laptop Ultra, but you could say that about almost any modern PC.

It found that 78% of managers reported using AI to “help draft, edit, summarize, or inform feedback or a performance review” in the last year.

Most of those managers, perhaps unsurprisingly, noted that AI sped up the process of prepping that feedback (Highwire told ZDNET it did not ask managers what else they noticed about using AI).

Maybe concerns about being perceived poorly for using AI are behind that drop in transparency: an Atlassian study from June found that owning AI use at work backfired.

The details of how managers are using AI for feedback matter here, though.

AI tools to the rescueThe findings about rehearsing with AI are echoed in AI video company Synthesia’s latest release, S…

Those of you who use Google’s Gemini app or website for free will soon be able to use only one AI model for your queries and conversations.

Anyone without a paid Google AI plan will be stuck with only the lowest-tier and least robust Flash-Lite model.

An AI Plus user who needs the Pro model will have to jump to a Pro plan.

When I use Gemini with my AI Pro account, Flash is the model that’s automatically chosen.

The main bright spot here is that Google AI subscriptions are doled out on a monthly basis.

ZDNET’s key takeawaysMicrosoft is ending support and updates for Office 2021.

But even these non-subscription versions can wear out their welcome, and that’s happening with Office 2021.

In a new support document, Microsoft revealed that it’s ending support for Office 2021 as of Tuesday, October 13.

And now support for Office 2021 is ending after only five years.

ZDNET’s key takeawaysMistral’s open-weight ML4 model Le Chonk is in preview.

Open models are positioned as democratic defenders from AI attacks.

French AI lab Mistral has shipped its latest model, Mistral Large 4 (ML4) — and it’s positioned as the open solution for all your defense requirements.

Also: Open weights vs. closed: An AI civil war’s afoot, and the stakes are existentialOne outcome of recent AI security incidents is that open and proprietary models are being pitted against each other.

Le Chonk and securityAfter a hack-filled summer that put AI model security under the spotlight, everyone is looking for a reliable AI security solution that suits their needs.

Meta's Superintelligence Lab released a pair of new state-of-the-art models on Monday, Muse Wonder and Muse Wonder Full, the company's first attempt at a frontier model.

A Silicon Valley startup that uses weather balloons and AI to predict the weather won a US military contract worth almost $50 million.

Could AI actually make PR better?

Microsoft President Brad Smith calls for urgent AI regulation, saying milk and washing machines have more oversight than AI companies.

Blueprints AI, a bootstrapped startup based in Santa Monica, developed software that produces code-compliant construction blueprints from a photo, PDF, or sketch.

An anonymous reader quotes a report from ZDNet: Many open-source developers still dislike AI. The latest example is System76 banning AI-generated content from its COSMIC desktop. At Open Source Summit Europe, Linux creator Linus Torvalds offered a different take: "I actually really like using AI," Torvald told Dirk Hohndel, his good friend and head of Ericsson Software Technology, in their latest discussion. [...] Torvalds said, "I think that you need to be very careful using AI when you're doing something real and important." Torvalds explained he hadn't always felt that way about AI programming. "I used to think it was just not very good -- but now I'm at the point where I actually really…

Firefox 158 is now available with JPEG XL image support enabled by default, making .jxl images a standard part of the browser rather than an experimental feature. The release also adds JPEG XL to Firefox's default image Accept header, improves Smart Window form filling, and brings new CSS typed-arithmetic support for developers. Phoronix reports: At long last, Firefox 158 is ready to go with JPEG-XL image support as an alternative to the likes of WebP, JPEG, PNG, and GIF. The default HTTP Accept header for image requests also now supports "image/jxl" for the JPEG-XL image format. Prior releases of Firefox had JPEG-XL gated by an experimental option. Firefox 158 also now supports filling for…

An anonymous reader quotes a report from Bloomberg: Epic Games delayed the release of an upcoming video-game collaboration with Walt Disney and told its developers to use more artificial intelligence tools to finish the game, according to people familiar with the project. The title had been slated for release in March, but is now delayed with no new date communicated, said the people familiar, who asked to not be identified because they weren't authorized to speak publicly. Developers on the game, a shooter featuring characters from the Marvel and Star Wars franchises, were instructed to implement an "AI first" production model using tools such as Anthropic's Claude. Humans will then manage…

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg says the company has reached the AI "frontier" with its new Muse Wonder model and will be offered as a closed, paid product for businesses. Zuckerberg also rejected calls for an industry-wide slowdown, arguing that AI can be managed with conventional guardrails as Meta continues spending heavily on models, infrastructure, and talent. The Financial Times reports: Speaking with the FT as Meta releases its Muse Wonder AI model on Monday, the billionaire chief executive claimed the new system was "going to allow much more sophisticated behaviours that are at the frontier of what is being done in the AI field." [...] "Getting to this point both required a large amount of…

Google has introduced the $179 Fitbit Edge, a new fitness tracker with a 1.34-inch OLED display, built-in GPS, ECG support, week-long battery life, and Fitbit's first user-replaceable battery. "And unlike the Pixel Watch, it's compatible with Android and iPhones via the Google Health app," reports Wired. From the report: The Edge has a user-replaceable battery, a Fitbit first, aligning with Google's efforts to make its Pixel Watch more repairable. (Likely also due to new battery regulations set to take effect next year in the European Union.) Repair options will vary by region and availability. If you find the Pixel Watch's round face too bulky, the Edge's capsule-shaped alternative might s…

An anonymous reader quotes a report from Ars Technica: When Russia began attacking Ukrainian data centers and telecommunication infrastructure, it apparently failed to prepare for possible retaliation. Now Russia's digital services are facing widespread outages after Ukrainian drone strikes knocked out three of the largest data centers owned by Russian tech giant Yandex within several days. Pro-Kremlin bloggers are warning that Russia's centralized digital economy could collapse because the country is not prepared for the "data center war" it started, according to posts translated by the pseudonymous independent researcher ChrisO_wiki. The Russian commentators also suggested that Ukraine's …

Hackers remotely manipulated connected refrigeration systems at hundreds of French supermarkets, reportedly pushing some fridges and freezers to 50C (122F), spoiling food and even sparking fires. According to Reuters, French Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu ordered a cybersecurity investigation into the hacks, with similar incidents reported in Spain, Portugal, Poland, Germany, and Belgium. In France, Carrefour reported 80 affected stores, Monoprix said 5% of its locations were hit, and Les Mousquetaires said refrigerators at roughly 150 Intermarche stores were heated to 50C for six hours. From the report: Supermarket cold aisles are typically run by control panels that manage an entire sto…

A study of more than 700 software firms found that AI coding agents significantly increase the amount of code developers produce, but not the amount of software companies actually ship. Ars Technica reports: A recent study (PDF) of actual coding practices across hundreds of firms finds that human code review forms a significant "bottleneck" for the overall efficiency of AI coding tools, resulting in "little evidence that firms increase software output or reduce employment" by using them. Any efficiency increased during the actual coding phase, the study authors find, is "absorbed by downstream constraints in the production process"; as "the code review process significantly increases in len…

Amazon is reportedly in talks to acquire AI startup Decart in a deal that could value the company at up to $7 billion. Decart's DOS software helps developers optimize AI models for different processors in weeks rather than months, a capability that could be particularly useful to AWS as it pushes its own Trainium chips. SiliconANGLE reports: The company has developed software called DOS, which can help developers to speed up AI training and inference workloads by optimizing their neural networks to run on a specific processor. In most AI workloads, developers must optimize a neural network for the chip they plan to run it on. This process used to take months, but with DOS, the workflow nece…

PC shipments fell 20.1% year over year to 62.7 million units in the third quarter of 2026, the worst Q3 decline IDC has recorded. "The top three PC makers -- Lenovo, Dell, and HP -- also saw their shipments fall by over 20% year over year," reports PCMag. From the report: "If looking at all quarters, then we have seen other quarters in recent years with larger declines, such as 2022Q4, which was -28.2%, and 2023Q1, which was -28.7%. Both were coming off pandemic highs," IDC Director Jitesh Ubrani told PCMag in an email. The numbers aren't a great sign, since third-quarter PC shipments usually outpace those in the second quarter as vendors introduce new products ahead of the holiday shopping…

NPR reports: Police officers in cities across the U.S. are quick to extol the virtues of real-time crime centers as a game changer that helps them find missing children, monitor large events from the skies and scope out dangerous scenes before putting an officer in harm's way. Hundreds of police departments have one of these central hubs, which have existed for years. But many are now being powered with AI software, such as Fusus, from the public-safety technology giant Axon... synthesizing the data it pulls in and allowing police command centers to watch an entire city from one place. Flock cameras, the automated license plate readers (ALPRs), have faced intense backlash in recent months a…

"This year, nearly the entire fleet of 94 U.S. nuclear reactors has been offered the chance to integrate AI into its operations, and most have taken it," reports IEEE Spectrum: In August, California-based Atomic Canyon launched NIVA, the Nuclear Industry Virtual Assistant, which was developed in cooperation with nuclear-industry groups. The assistant was pilot-tested in nuclear plants run by Constellation Energy and is now available to the United States' entire fleet of reactors.... Meanwhile, the AI-for-nuclear startup Nuclearn says its products have gone to work with more than 65 U.S. partners, a total that includes many traditional plants but also an integration with NuScale Power Corp. …

Let's Encrypt "will shorten the default validity period of its TLS certificates from 90 days to 64 days, starting February 10, 2027," reports the blog Linuxiac: All certificates issued or renewed from that date will have a 64-day lifespan unless users explicitly select one of the shorter options already available: 45 or six days. Existing certificates will remain valid until their expiration dates. Let's Encrypt expects the final 90-day certificate to expire on May 11, 2027. The organization also confirmed no valid certificates will be revoked during the transition. To help administrators prepare, Let's Encrypt will introduce 64-day certificates in its staging environment on October 14, 202…

Нет ни одной вещи, которую хороший инженер не смог бы сделать сложной

Казалось бы, несложная вещь — зарядка. Воткнул один конец в розетку, другой в телефон и телефон заряжается. Ха!

Я хочу рассказать четыре истории о том, как инженеры смогли сделать сложной зарядку.

История 1. Проектор и провод-ниппель

У меня есть небольшой портативный проектор. Ему для работы требуется 65 ватт. У него в комплекте своя type-c-зарядка, как раз 65 ватт. В какой-то момент понадобилось, чтобы он работал в том месте, где поблизости нет электричества. Хорошо, что есть большой и достаточно мощный павербанк — как раз на 65 ватт.

Проверили дома: воткнули, завёлся, включился, — всё супер. Берем тот же провод, не тако…

Frank Wiles wrote about an attack he nearly fell victim

to: a downloaded git repo had active git hooks that would have compromised

his system. Seeing the risks, I wanted to make git hooks more visible on my own

machine.A git hook is a script in the .git directory of a git repo on your machine.

They run during various git operations. The important detail to understand about

hooks is that they do not get installed locally when you clone a repo. A newly

cloned repo never has active hooks. Hooks have to be enabled after cloning,

usually by you.The attack Frank saw was dangerous because it wasn’t a cloned repo: it was a

local checkout that had hooks installed then shared as a Dropbox folder. So

Максим, привет, я с вопросом по продуктовой коммуникации.

В магазинах приложений компании публикуют описания к обновлениям своих приложений (release notes). Мне интересно их изучать, и я группирую их по стилю: «по делу», «крутой креатив», «балаган» и «неуместный промоушен». Ещё есть «сухие» с шаблонными «Небольшие исправления и улучшения», «Улучшили работу приложения», «Повысили стабильность работы приложения» и так далее — их не включаю.

Вот примеры описаний по делу:

Мы полностью обновили приложение X. Новый интерфейс, быстрый доступ к анализам и результатам, запись к врачам и вызов медсестры на дом — всё теперь в одном месте.

Здравствуйте! Я делаю сервис верификации фискальных чеков. Столкнулся с личной болью: пришлось в суде доказывать, что чек не поддельный. Обычная бумажка ничего не значит. Сервис проверки чеков, который есть у ФНС ещё хуже, чем любые другие аналогичные сервисы. Они просто теряют на половине пути часть данных.

Здесь в Кракове наткнулся на статью в Nurture про мышей с подсаженной человеческой нервной тканью и про ИИ как внешний когнитивный слой. Буквально полоумную мышь создали учёные — часть мозга была заменена стволовыми клетками человека.

Проблема копателя колодцев никуда не исчезла. Он может стать водопроводчиком, инженером, владельцем водоканала или экскурсоводом по старым колодцам. Но сначала ему придётся признать неприятное: навык, вокруг которого была построена значительная часть его профессиональной личности, перестал быть дефицитом.

An interview with Jason Del Rey about Amazon versus Meta, which is a continuation of the oldest battle in retail between Amazon and Walmart.

OpenAI's Dev Day showcased a product that is, frankly, pretty confusing. However, there is more vision here than it might seem.

Meta has the chance to own the consumer agentic space; going for enterprise is a big mistake.
