There is a large CHP plant. It operates as usual: burning gas, producing heat for heating homes, and electricity for the grid. The primary task is heating. The second is to sell all generated electricity on the wholesale market. Sometimes snow appears in freezing weather under clear skies, but this is a side effect of the cooling towers. An average CHP consists of several dozen turbines and boilers. […]
You are faced with the task of object detection again. The priority is to enhance speed while maintaining acceptable accuracy. You take the YOLOv3 architecture and finetune it. Accuracy (mAp75) exceeds 0.95. However, the processing speed is still low. Damn. Today we will sidestep quantization. Instead, we will look at Model Pruning — trimming excessive parts of the network to speed up inference without losing accuracy. Visually — from where, how much, and how […]

Hello, Habr! I work in Tinkoff's team, which is developing its own notification center. Mostly, I develop in Java using Spring Boot and solve various technical issues arising in the project. Most of our microservices interact asynchronously with each other through a message broker. Previously, we used IBM MQ as a broker, which could no longer handle […]
Ah, this wonderful pre-New Year period. The time of annual reports, burning deadlines, frantic hustle, and flickering garlands that could induce an epileptic seizure even in a healthy person. The season of corporate parties and a fresh harvest of articles with tips on how to have an exemplary good time and not embarrass oneself. A period of spending money on events that offer no long-term benefits and little […]

Microsoft states that users will be provided with a new […]
It was 2019, and we still did not have a standard solution for log aggregation in Kubernetes. In this article, we would like to share our journeys, encountered challenges, and their solutions using real-world examples. However, I should note that different clients have very different expectations regarding log collection: some want to see security and audit logs; others […]
SRE Engineer - Intern Let me introduce myself. I am @tristan.read, a front-end engineer in the Monitor::Health group at GitLab. Last week, I had the honor of being an intern with one of our on-call SRE engineers. The goal was to observe daily how the on-call engineer responds to incidents and gain real work experience. We hope that our engineers better understand user needs […]
Derpibooru is the largest image board for the My Little Pony fan community in the world, serving hundreds of thousands of users for nine consecutive years. Until recently, the platform used the proprietary Booru-on-Rails engine, built on Ruby on Rails and MongoDB. However, the site has now migrated to the Philomena engine, written in Elixir using the Phoenix framework, Elasticsearch, and PostgreSQL. […]
