В мире искусственного интеллекта популярен миф, что если ИИ довольно мощный, то дизайн не имеет значения. Иными словами, если модель достаточно умна, интерфейс не нужен. Пользователь сообщит что ему нужно, а модель сама разберется.

В реальных задачах минималистичный чат усугубляет проблемы взаимодействия. Такой дизайн скрывает вероятностную сложность ИИ, делает незаметными ошибки и провоцирует неоправданное доверие пользователя. При этом команде сложно понять, где искать причину ошибок. Дизайнеры работают только с интерфейсом, а разработчики правят модель. В результате одна проблема воспринимается как две разные: ошибка UX или ошибка ИИ.

Age on the agenda in Massachusetts but octogenarian leftwinger leads younger rival Seth Moulton in primary poll

Democrats have spent the summer ousting long-serving incumbents in primaries across the country. On Tuesday, Massachusetts voters will decide whether that generational revolt extends to the 80-year-old Ed Markey, whose younger Democratic rival has argued that the incumbent is simply too old to serve another term.

But the Senate primary in this heavily Democratic state flips a central dynamic of previous contests, where youthful progressive insurgents have targeted – and in several cases, toppled – older incumbents they derided as avatars of an outmoded cautious establishment.

Inside a quest to learn about the ocean’s mysterious “deep reefs”

PALAU, Micronesia — On a bright, sunny day last May, I stood on a boat surrounded by the turquoise waters of the island nation of Palau. I was there in the western Pacific watching scuba divers as they prepared to bring up evidence of a mysterious aquatic world. 

Palau is famous for its spectacular and rich coral reefs. But these divers were planning to descend past those sun-lit marine communities and down into a lesser-known twilight zone known as the “mesophotic coral ecosystems.” 

A boat with divers

Mesophotic essentially means “middle” and “light,” which is where these ecosystems are — not quite in the bright daylight, not quite in the profound darkness, but somewhere in between. For simplicity’s sake, we’ll call these communities, which range from some 30 meters to 150 meters below the surface, the “deep reefs.” 

Two people in scuba gear ready to dive into the water

One of the divers on the boat with me was a zoologist and curator at the California Academy of Sciences named Luiz Rocha, who has spent decades studying these deep reefs and their secrets. 

“Anything between 30 meters and 150 meters is really, really unknown,” he told me.

Because these deep reefs are so unknown, researchers like Rocha are left with big questions. They want to get a baseline picture of what is going on in these ecosystems — even just who lives there! — so that they can better understand how they function.  They’ve also tried to work out whether (or not) these deep reefs might provide a refuge for species living in shallower coral reefs.

I was in Palau for Vox’s Unexplainable podcast because, in an effort to gather more information about these mysterious places, Rocha left some scientific structures down in these twilight depths back in 2016. Those structures then spent almost a decade becoming encrusted with all kinds of marine life. And now, Rocha was back to retrieve them, hoping that he — along with many other scientists — would be able to open them up, like a box of scientific puzzle pieces, full of clues about this under-understood marine world.

So what is a mesophotic “deep reef”? 

One thing that’s often acknowledged in papers about and descriptions of the “mesophotic coral ecosystems” is that scientists don’t know as much as they’d like to. A National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration article about them from 2019 is full of “may’s” as in: they may “serve as essential fish habitat for economically and ecologically important species.”

Researchers do know some things, of course. They know that these deep reefs can be found in many of the same locations as shallower coral reefs — so mainly the tropical and subtropical parts of the world, like Micronesia, the Caribbean, and even the Gulf of Mexico. They’ve found that there are many species that seem to be unique to these places, and recent research points to their potential susceptibility to climate change.

Life on the sea floor

Researchers have also gotten a sense of some of the key differences between these deep reefs and their shallower coral neighbors. In shallow reefs, hard corals team up with photosynthesizing algaes. The algaes provide the corals with nutrients, and the corals secrete a calcium-carbonate matrix that helps create the architecture of the reef. 

As you go deeper, though, the light begins to fade, and the opportunities for photosynthesis start to fade with it. The temperature also drops. So the animals living down in the deep reefs are the ones that can survive in a dimmer, cooler world.

Why are these places so mysterious? 

Scientists can dive into the deep reefs to try to learn more about these understudied places — as Rocha has — but exploring down at 100 meters requires more difficult, riskier technical diving than exploring at shallower depths. The deeper you dive, for example, the faster gasses get pushed into your tissues, which imposes limits on these really deep dives.

“We have a very, very short time,” Rocha says, “And by short time, I mean five minutes. Six, seven minutes.” 

Scientists might take some pictures in that time, or make some measurements, or collect a few samples, but then they have to move back upwards, a process which can take hours because they have to rise slowly to avoid decompression sickness.

It is, obviously, not particularly efficient to study an ecosystem in five- to seven-minute bursts. People have also used remote operated vehicles and submersibles to explore the deep reefs, but those have their own issues, and cameras can’t always capture all the detail you might want, or photograph more secretive, cryptic animals. So huge gaps remain in scientific knowledge about these ecosystems. 

“Whenever we go somewhere,” Rocha says, “the first thing we find is new species. … It’s the most basic thing in science you can do.” But this effort goes beyond just cataloguing new species of fish or sponges or sea slugs. 

Rocha wants to answer seemingly fundamental questions like: What is the main energy source for everything down here in the dimmer light? What does the food chain look like? How have things evolved to live down at these depths? How similar are they to the shallow ecosystems, and how different? How are they affected by climate change — and what’s the most efficient way to protect them? 

But, “in some ways we don’t even know what questions to ask,” Rocha says. “We really only know what questions to ask after we have a baseline understanding of what the ecosystem is. And for deep reefs, we don’t know that yet.” 

A new way to understand the deep reefs using “prefab housing”

Rocha is not deterred by the enormous number of question marks that surround these deep reefs. For years now, he has been gathering bits of basic information about them, often via those very short dives. 

About a decade ago, though, Rocha got interested in another method for sampling the biodiversity of this sort of marine ecosystem — a technique involving “autonomous reef monitoring structures” (ARMS).

Basically, each ARMS is a stack of several PVC plates, separated at uniform intervals and attached to a base plate. They look like little grey, featureless hotels. You take them to a place that you want to study, bring them down, secure them, and then leave them alone for a while to let them collect…life.

Diver among corals, sponges, and other life

“As soon as you drop any kind of clean structure on a reef,” Rocha says, “it starts getting colonized by larvae of everything around it — of sponges, gorgonians, corals. And then, because there’s all a lot of hiding spots between the plates — so between the floors of the hotel — they start getting colonized by shrimp, by mollusks, by ascidians, by anything you can imagine in the ocean. … And it becomes this stable, diverse mini reef, if you will, packed with a lot of biodiversity that would be very hard to collect all at once in any given reef.”

A few years after that initial drop, you come back, collect the ARMS, and then study the mini reef that has grown on them. You can sample and touch and analyze things to your heart’s content. 

It’s not only a very effective way to collect lots of creatures, all at once, but also a great way to do so in a standardized way. If you went down — or sent a robot down — to collect an encrusted rock from a reef, you could learn a lot about the life on it, but it would be hard to compare the life on that rock to life on other rocks from other reefs, or even the same reef, because each rock would have its own unique characteristics. Not so for ARMS.

“ Every one’s the same,” Chris Meyer, director of the Smithsonian Global ARMS program, told me, “It’s prefab housing, and then you just look to see who moves in.” 

A diver carries a clear tub underwater

To Rocha, this seemed like a great way to get a really good, long look at the deep reefs instead of the brief glimpses he was getting from diving. It was also, he told me, fairly cheap to deploy them. So from 2016 to 2018, with some private funding, he and his colleagues left ARMS in some of the deep reefs around Palau — as well as in Guam, the Marshall Islands, and French Polynesia. They installed some around 50 meters, and some around 100, and then some around 10 meters, so he could compare the deep reefs to their shallower neighbors. 

After that, he waited. 

In fact, he waited a little longer than he would have liked, because the retrieval of ARMS is more expensive than deploying them, so he had to work out more funding. 

Eventually, private funders agreed to underwrite the retrieval of the ARMS that Rocha had left. Which is how he and his fellow divers finally found themselves on a boat in Palau again, ready to pull up these structures for the deep.

Opening the scientific puzzle box

Over the course of a few days, I watched a whole team of people pull several ARMS out of the deep reefs of Palau. Some of the ARMS were relatively sparse, but others were almost fuzzy with organisms — vibrant with red and orange and green and pink and white. One had a massive sponge attached to it, another had several delicate fronds dangling from it like coralline ferns. The ARMS collected each day traveled to the Palau International Coral Reef Center in bins full of seawater, where the scientists quickly got to work — seeing and touching (and smelling) this mysterious ecosystem right up close.

The process was, as it turned out, equal parts magical excitement and well-oiled, Cheez-It fueled disassembly line. After the plates were taken apart, Meyer took photographs of the plates — what he called a “time capsule of the place.” Others in the lab picked carefully through trays of debris, hunting for tiny crabs and worms and mollusks, or scraped samples off the plates and deposited them in tubes.

They collected sea squirts, said to be our closest invertebrate relatives. They collected sponges — flat ones that felt dry underwater, thick ones with bristles like tiny, unmoving caterpillars, one as thin as a flake of skin and shot through with silver filaments. They collected strange, soft corals known as “octocorals,” and they collected colonies of animals called bryozoans, which created what looked like swirling, two-dimensional honeycombs.

“We’re looking for every unique thing, which we call a morphospecies,” a Smithsonian research biologist named Sarah Tweedt explained. “And we’re trying to get some representative tissue samples from all of these things so that we can sequence the DNA — and match the DNA to the organism.”

That is, of course, assuming there is already a known genetic match in our existing DNA libraries. 

On the first day that I spent with the team, a Cal Academy curator named Terry Goslinger identified several potential new species. He is an expert on colorful, delightful sea slugs known as nudibranchs, and so, because of his deep knowledge (and because nudibranchs’ bright hues and patterns make them somewhat easier to tell apart than some other underwater creatures), he was able to make some on-the-spot calls about whether or not certain species were likely to be new to science, pending genetic testing to confirm.

Many of the animals were trickier to pin down, though. The researchers did their best to identify the creatures they were finding, but even now, several months out, there’s still a lot of work to be done. Of the close to 3,000 specimens, only a small fraction were identified at a species level. The numbers are a little bit inexact because researchers are still processing the data, but when I checked in with a Cal Academy postdoc working on the project, Susanne Bähr, in July, she told me that only 3 percent of samples had been ID’d by species, and a little less than 20 had a genus designation. Many, many more were only identified at higher, broader taxonomic levels. Genetic testing of the samples, paired with photographs and descriptions of the samples, will help people work out more specific species, and also help them identify whether certain species are new to science.

Beyond discovering new species…and toward solving the big puzzle

The most important parts of this work will involve more than just identifying species. In fact, the more time I spent with these researchers in the lab, (including one evening spent with them as they worked past midnight), the more I got the sense that, while they seemed excited about seeing new species, they seemed equally excited to witness relationships between animals.

People working in a lab

When I walked into the lab one day, for example, several people urged me to go over and look through a microscope at a creature known as a pompom crab — a tiny yellow crustacean holding purple anemones in its modified front claws. Tweedt was extremely jazzed when she found something referred to as a “skeleton shrimp,” which looked to me like the marine equivalent of a stick insect, blending in on something called a hydroid. She pulled me aside another time, around one in the morning, to show me “the frosting on the cake” of the day, which turned out to be some bright red sea snails and the bright red octocorals they seemed to live on

As she put it in a later conversation, these relationships are, in many ways, the key takeaway from this ARMS project, and what distinguishes it from efforts to bring up a few individual samples at a time. Studying them, or even just looking at the fuller picture ARMS provide, is what will let researchers tackle some of the outstanding questions about these ecosystems. Bähr, for example, is already working with the data from ARMS retrieved in Guam, trying to analyze how much overlap (or lack thereof) there is between species at different depths in the deep reefs.

Really, though, this is all just the beginning. In one of our conversations, Rocha compared the work they are doing now to ecology work done in the mid-20th century to understand how species’ vertical distribution changes as you go up a mountain. This drove home for me how far behind researchers working on the mesophotic deep reefs are compared to their colleagues working on, say, shallower coral reefs. I asked him what kept him working on such a difficult puzzle.

“It’s the reward at the end of it,” he said, “If it’s a hard puzzle, at the end of it, the reward is always bigger.” 

“But…in our lifetimes, will we assemble the deep reef puzzle?” I asked.

“No, we will not assemble the puzzle, no,” Rocha said, “but we’ll generate some good pieces for the next generation to assemble.”

Duane ‘Keffe D’ Davis Found Guilty of Tupac Shakur’s Murder

Thirty years after rapper Tupac Shakur was killed in a Las Vegas drive-by shooting, a former gang leader has been found guilty of orchestrating his death.

A jury in Clark County, Nev., convicted Duane “Keffe D” Davis, 63, ex-head of Los Angeles street gang South Side Compton Crips, of first-degree murder with the use of a deadly weapon, following a weekslong trial. 

But prosecutors decided not to proceed with part of the charge about gang enhancement—an extra prison sentence added to a conviction when the crime is committed for the benefit of, or in connection with, a criminal gang—citing “witness logistics.” 

Shakur’s murder in September 1996 at the age of 25 had left so many questions unanswered and has been the subject of conspiracies for years. 

But the investigation into his death was revived after Davis published his memoir, Compton Street Legend, in 2019. In the memoir and during promotions, he outlined the role of the Crips in Shakur’s death. The Crips were feuding with the Mob Piru, which had ties to Shakur ​and his record label, Death Row Records. 

Nevada law allows Davis to be charged with murder even if he did not pull the trigger.

Davis, who was arrested in 2023, could face life in prison. Clark County District Court Judge Carli Kierny ordered that Davis  be held without bail and scheduled his sentencing on Oct. 13. 

The former gang leader, however, said in court that he would appeal the conviction. 

How the verdict was reached

The trial against Davis began on Aug. 17. More than two dozen witnesses testified before a panel of 16 jurors, four of whom are alternates. Jurors also watched footage about the fight that broke out a few hours before Shakur and Death Row Records co-founder Marion “Suge” Knight, who was riding with him, were shot by a man in a white Cadillac on Sept. 7, 1996, while Shakur’s car stopped at a red light.

Knight survived, but Shakur died six days later.

Throughout the trial, Davis's defense attorney, Michael Sanft, attempted to discredit the evidence against his client. 

In his closing arguments, which lasted for more than an hour, Sanft argued that the prosecution lacked the physical evidence to connect Davis to the crime scene and to determine that Davis called the shots in Shakur’s death. He also claimed the investigation was compromised, and that the Compton Police Department, which probed the local gang rivalry that provided the backdrop for the shooting, was also shut down due to corruption.

“We’re not giving you everything,” Sanft told the jurors. “And you as jurors deserve everything—in terms of the full weight of the evidence in this case. We don’t have it.”

Sanft also repeatedly attacked Davis’ memoir, saying that his client did not even read the book and that his client was telling stories to make money.

“When you think about Mr. Davis's statements, they all conflict,” Sanft told the jurors. “They conflict with the book and they conflict with the facts. And the only thing that we have that we can agree on is that Tupac Shakur was shot and killed.”

But Chief Deputy District Attorney Binu Palal emphasized the extent of evidence against Davis. Palal highlighted the defendant’s own statements over the years, in which he said he played an integral role in Shakur’s killing, including to  documentary filmmakers, in his memoir, and to the police. 

Davis told federal agents in 1998 that he had been in Las Vegas when Shakur was shot but denied knowing who killed him. The case lacked credible witnesses and the investigation stalled. But ten years later, when Davis was under threat of possible drug charges, he told police that he and his fellow Crips members looked for Shakur and Knight. Davis offered the information under a proffer agreement that he believed protected him from being prosecuted.

Prosecutors said that Shakur’s and Knight’s involvement in the beating of Davis’ nephew at the MGM Grand hotel and casino after a Mike Tyson bout prompted retaliation.

In the closing argument, Palal also played a recording of an interview where Davis urged purchases of his 2019 memoir to get the “real truth,” which counts as “textbook” admission of his statements.

“For nearly 18 years, Duane Davis has told the police, television, books, YouTube interviewers, anybody that will listen,” Palal said in his closing statement. “He has told you he is responsible for the murder of Tupac Shakur. Tell him you hear him. Find him guilty.”

The jury deliberated for less than three hours before reaching the verdict.

What are the reactions to the verdict?

The verdict comes two weeks before the 30th anniversary of Shakur’s death.

Footage from the courtroom shows that after the verdict was read, Sekyiwa “Set” Shakur, Tupac’s sister, wept while reaching for a person behind her. Some of Shakur’s other loved ones in the courtroom embraced each other, with one raising his fist in the air

But the reactions to the verdict were not limited to family members, as Shakur's 1996 killing became a defining moment of hip-hop culture's “gangsta” rap era—which reflected the violence pervasive in American inner cities that suffer from poverty.

Shakur fan Derrick Lee Stanton Jr. called the jury's conviction of Davis a “great moment” and “emotional.” But speaking to reporters outside, Stanton said that the case is “not done,” claiming that there are “more people that have to pay for the death of Tupac” as Duane is “not the lone soldier here.”

Если вы пишете на JavaScript или TypeScript, выбор инструмента обычно начинается с двух знакомых вариантов: VSCode или WebStorm.

Сегодня расскажу вам про третий вариант: OpenIDE. Это готовая IDE на базе той же платформы, которую использует WebStorm.

Философия также схожа: вам не нужно собирать рабочий инструмент из десятка расширений. В одном дистрибутиве комфортно и легко настроить и менять версии Node.js, npm, yarn и pnpm, TypeScript, React и Angular, линтеров, Git и HTTP-клиенты. Можно открыть проект и сразу заниматься делом.

Barcelona breeze past Rayo but all eyes in Spain remain on Julián Álvarez

Hansi Flick is very happy to welcome Gabriel Jesus to Barcelona – but Julián Álvarez remains the ultimate prize

If Raphinha has any misgivings about playing as a makeshift No 9 for Barcelona, he is doing a good job of hiding it. Julián Álvarez would have been proud of the Brazilian’s two neat finishes that inspired the Spanish champions to a 5-2 victory against Rayo Vallecano on Monday night, 24 hours before the transfer deadline. Lamine Yamal scored two wonderful goals of his own in a performance that reassured everyone he is back to his best. Add Anthony Gordon to the mix – impressive again in his link-up play – and you have a fluid, fearsome front three.

Yet after the departures of Ferran Torres, Robert Lewandowski and Marcus Rashford this summer, there is no doubt Barcelona not only still want a centre-forward but require one – at least one. Hansi Flick was very happy to see Gabriel Jesus, an £8.6m arrival from Arsenal, in the stands. “He’s a top striker,” the coach said. But Atlético Madrid’s Álvarez is the ultimate prize.

Все галочки закрыты, статус в шапке правильный, агент ушёл спать. Наутро я прочитал и отклонил работу целиком. Проверки не было, была формальность: писал и принимал один и тот же агент, по чек-листу, который сам же и закрыл.

В статье собираю гейт, после которого работа не идёт дальше, пока другой агент не написал вердикт в отдельный файл. В одном чате, без оркестратора, за вечер. Цена — 2,7× обращений к модели, ловит примерно каждую шестую работу.

Готового файла роли не даю: он настроен под мои сбои и у вас не сработает. Даю промпты, которыми агент заведёт вам ваши правила, и после каждого строку «что проверяете в ответе».

P.S. Первый же прогон проверяющего отклонил мою работу. Я был зол. Потом открыл его файл вердикта и понял, что он прав.

Август — традиционное время затишья перед осенними презентациями, и громких релизов в этом месяце действительно было немного. Зато событий, заставляющих схватиться за голову, хватило с избытком. Модели, вдохновившись июльским инцидентом с Hugging Face, устроили массовый побег из песочниц. Anthropic напугали всех скрытыми вотермарками. А OpenAI и вовсе объявили о приостановке обучения моделей из-за того, что их грядущая модель Astra стала слишком хорошо разбираться в кибератаках.

Конечно, не оставили нас и без новых моделей. GLM-5.3-Flash под маской Ox Alpha навела шороху на OpenRouter. Google выпустили подешевевшую вдвое Gemini 3.7 Flash, а xAI догоняют конкурентов с Grok 4.6. 

Собрали всё это воедино, добавили свежих инструментов и приправили выводами из новых исследований. Поехали разбираться, что принес нам конец лета!

Мессенджер, которому не нужен интернет: три реализации LoRa-чата своими руками

Сегодня мессенджеры стали одним из основных каналов общения. Но что, если нужно переписываться с корреспондентом, расположенным на расстоянии, измеряемом километрами, а интернет не работает?

Если речь идёт о текстовых сообщениях, помогут каналы связи, созданные с помощью технологии LoRa.

В этой статье мы разберёмся с темой обмена сообщениями через LoRa. Начнём с простого мессенджера, позволяющего обмениваться сообщениями между двумя компьютерами с разъёмами USB под управлением Windows или Linux. Затем перейдём к мессенджеру с  микрокомпьютером Raspberry Pi.

В итоге мы создадим несложную mesh-сеть с ретрансляцией по принципу флуда и TTL-ограничением на микроконтроллерах ESP32-S3-N16R8 и модулях LoRa E22-900T22D. Каждый узел этой сети будет поднимать собственную точку доступа Wi-Fi с веб-интерфейсом чата. Для подключения к узлу и обмена сообщениями достаточно обычного смартфона с браузером. В качестве дополнения сделаем так, чтобы в этой сети можно было работать и с компьютера под Windows, к которому подключён LoRa USB-донгл E22-900T22U.
