tl;dr: Machine learning seeks patterns in data. However, artificial intelligence can be 'biased' — that is, it may find incorrect patterns. For example, a skin cancer detection system might pay special attention to images taken in a doctor's office. Machine learning doesn't understand: its algorithms only identify patterns in numbers, and if the data is not representative, that will be […]

May Day is approaching, dear Habr users. Not long ago, I clarified for myself how important it is to keep asking simple questions, even if it seems like we already know the answer. So, what are we celebrating? To understand it correctly, we need to take at least a distant look at the history of the issue.

A new version of the Tutanota email client has been released. The changes include a revamped search feature and integration with Let’s Encrypt for custom domains, as well as a 100% Russian translation. Tutanota uses end-to-end encryption, so the search can only be performed locally. To do this, the client builds a full-text index. The index is stored locally in an encrypted form. The new revamped search should significantly […]
In the 20th century, people's lives and work followed a plan. At work (simplifying — you can imagine a factory), people had a clear plan for the week, the month, and the year ahead. Simplistically: you need to manufacture 20 parts. No one will come and say that now you need to manufacture 37 parts, and besides, write an article reflecting on […]
I have probably tried to systematically manage tasks about 20-25 times. Each attempt failed, as I now understand, for two reasons. Firstly, to allocate time for task management, one must understand why it is done. You start managing tasks, spend time on it, complete fewer tasks, and all this starts to pile up — for what purpose? Any work is difficult […]
Sometimes writing JavaScript code is challenging, and at times it can be quite daunting, a feeling familiar to many developers.

The Association of Internet Trade Companies (AKIT) proposed a new initiative that involves changes to the existing customs duties on expensive parcels from abroad. It is suggested to replace the disparate tax contributions with a single fee of 15%. According to 'Kommersant', this is a softer option, as initially the discussion was about 20%. The proposal is currently under consideration at the Analytical Center under the government, the Gaidar Institute, and 'Post […]
