tl;dr: Machine learning looks for patterns in data. But artificial intelligence can be “biased”—that is, find patterns that are incorrect. For example, a photo-based skin cancer detection system might pay special attention to images taken in a doctor's office. Machine learning does not understand: its algorithms only identify patterns in numbers, and if the data is not representative, it will […]
There are only a couple of weeks left until the release of RAGE 2, but we still don't know much about its plot. But the thing is that there is not so much of it. RAGE 2 director Magnus Nedfors revealed in a recent interview that this is not Red Dead Redemption 2 - like most Avalanche Studios games, the project will focus […]
As we move from a monolithic application to a microservices architecture, we face new challenges. In a monolithic application, it is usually quite easy to determine which part of the system the error occurred in. Most likely, the problem is in the code of the monolith itself, or in the database. But when we start looking for a problem in a microservice architecture, everything is no longer so obvious. We need to find all [...]
According to a good, but not yet established tradition, we are holding an open technical meetup in May! This year the meetup will be “seasoned” with a practical part, and you will be able to stop by our “garage” and do a little assembly and programming. Date: May 15, 2019, Moscow. Other useful information under the cut. You can register and watch the program on the event website [...]
IEEE P802.3ba, a standard for transmitting data over 100 Gigabit Ethernet (100GbE), was developed between 2007 and 2010 [3], but only became widespread in 2018 [5]. Why in 2018 and not earlier? And why immediately in droves? There are at least five reasons for this... IEEE P802.3ba was developed primarily for […]
The First of May is approaching, dear Habrob residents. Recently, I realized how important it is to continue asking ourselves simple questions, even if we think we already know the answer. So what are we celebrating? For a correct understanding, we need to at least look at the history of the issue from afar. Even for a superficial but correct understanding, you need to find the original source. I wouldn't like [...]
A new version of the Tutanota email client has been published. Changes include redesigned search and integration with Let's Encrypt for custom domains, as well as 100% Russian translation. Tutanota uses end-to-end encryption, so searches can only be performed locally. To do this, the client builds a full-text index. The index is stored locally in encrypted form. The new redesigned search should significantly […]
On the Internet, rumors around the Redmi smartphone with the flagship Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 processor do not subside. The day before, a message with a video was published on the official page of this brand on the Chinese social network Weibo, revealing the design and name of the future new product. Initially, it was assumed that the Redmi smartphone based on the Snapdragon 855 single-chip system would be called Redmi Pro 2, that is, formally […]
Released last month, the Huawei P30 Pro is still making headlines and reviews for a reason. Users praised the smartphone's record five-fold optical zoom, as well as the phone's overall shooting quality, especially in low-light conditions. Taking into account other state-of-the-art hardware, the xda-developers.com portal has already rated the P30 Pro as one of the contenders for the […]
According to Intel's long-term plan, which we had the opportunity to get acquainted with a few days ago, major changes in the range of mobile processors supplied by the company are planned for the end of the second and beginning of the third quarter of this year. In the segment of energy-efficient solutions with a thermal package of 15 W, two fundamentally new types of processors should appear at once. Firstly, these are the first large-scale 10nm Ice processors […]
Phoenix Labs CEO Jesse Houston believes Sony is being unfairly criticized for its stance on cross-platform play. In recent years, Sony Interactive Entertainment has received quite a bit of criticism for its stance on cross-platform multiplayer. While Microsoft and Nintendo opened up the online spaces of their consoles for cross-platform play, Sony has long held […]
What is Istio? This is the so-called Service mesh, a technology that adds a layer of abstraction over the network. We intercept all or part of the traffic in the cluster and perform a certain set of operations with it. Which one? For example, we do smart routing, or implement a circuit breaker approach, we can organize “canary deployment”, partially switching traffic to a new version of the service, or we can limit […]
