Mac DeMarco review – glowing melodies and shirtless antics at Carnegie Hall
Published: 2026-10-26 16:27:13 | Created: 2026-10-26 16:30:00

Carnegie Hall, New York
After winning over gen Z, the cult indie rocker makes the historic venue swoon with introspective anthems and a Michael Jackson cover

More than 68 years after Leonard Bernstein’s first-ever Young People’s Concert, Carnegie Hall was yet again overrun with youthful energy on Sunday night. The occasion was the first of two sold-out performances from gap-toothed indie-pop scion Mac DeMarco, whose adoringly parasocial cross-genre fanbase has been one of the few in 2010s indie to continue an increasingly aged-down trajectory. There was many a parental chaperone next to their beaming teens, while a group of bright-eyed and bushy-tailed post-adolescents sitting behind me – having travelled all the way from Wisconsin for the occasion – audibly Googled: “Where to find Mac DeMarco after the concert” and quizzed each other on whether they’d lay a smooch on The 1975’s devilish frontman Matty Healy if given a chance.

“I can’t believe how fancy this place is for Mac,” one of them marveled – and it has indeed been a strange trajectory for DeMarco, who emerged from the shores of Vancouver in the early 2010s resembling a party-hardy modern-day Pigpen and with an aural suitcase stuffed with lovely guitar-warbles, stained with nicotine and carrying the faint stink of cheap brew. His early live sets were equally prone to Limp Bizkit covers and spontaneous audience makeout sessions; the 2014 docu-short Pepperoni Playboy was replete with scenes of new-indie-money dirtbag opulence, as DeMarco and his ragtag group drank champagne out of lobster shells and went cliff-diving amid a nonstop tour schedule.

Sin or virtue? How envy can actually be helpful
Published: 2026-10-26 16:00:46 | Created: 2026-10-26 16:29:59

In her new book, Envy, Stacy Kim explains how to understand the feeling, identify your deeper desires and use them to achieve your goals

In the 16th-century poem The Faerie Queene, envy is a ghoulish figure riding a ravenous wolf, sad to see the fortune of others and “wonderous glad” of their hardship. It’s not a flattering depiction; better to be thankful for what we have, rather than dwell on such a bitter and self-destructive feeling, right?

Maybe not. “I think that when we don’t examine our envy, that’s when it leads us astray,” says Dr Stacy Kim, social scientist, life coach and author of the new book Envy: Why Wanting What They Have is the Key to Getting What You Want. Kim wrote the book after seeing the way envy came up for her coaching clients and reflecting on the role it had in her own life. The book is informed by social science and philosophy research, as well as her personal and professional experiences.

Similar target: “You remind yourself: ‘Hey, the reason why I’m feeling this envy is because what I want is within my reach,’” she says.

Intangible desire, as mentioned above

Relevant comparison: Identify which specific domain – something you care about or already participate in – is relevant to your desires

Negative emotion: How long does it last? How intense is the message it’s sending? This tells us how important the feeling is.

Недавно посмотрел выступление Павла Анненкова, владельца издательства «Редколлегия», на тему «Маркетинг будущего — маркетинг из прошлого». Его тезис: в эпоху ИИ, когда контент почти ничего не стоит, физические объекты (книги, журналы, мерч) становятся премиальным медиа, позволяют быстро пройти путь от внимания к памяти и обходятся дешевле цифры. Доклад живой и во многом точный, но... с главным выводом я не согласен.

Важен ещё и контекст: корпоративные книги и журналы — это бизнес самого Павла. Доводы от этого не становятся неверными, но это объясняет, почему в докладе нет ни одного случая, когда физический носитель не сработал. А я таких видел немало: за годы работы на выставках, чужих и своих, я много раз наблюдал, как в последний день стенды разбирают и тонны буклетов, каталогов и подарочных книг уходят в мусор, так и не дойдя до читателя.

Компания NEOMSA представила практический подход к управлению доступом ИИ-агентов к внутренним API через протокол MCP. В центре внимания — выдача и отзыв полномочий, ограничение операций и данных, а также восстановление цепочки действий при расследовании инцидентов.

Сценарии с ИИ-агентами переводят вопросы управления API из плоскости обычной аутентификации в область контроля конкретных действий. Действительный токен не означает, что агент должен иметь право выполнять любую доступную операцию: необходимо проверять полномочия приложения, вызываемый инструмент, параметры запроса и доступ к конкретному бизнес-объекту.

В NEOMSA APIM этот подход реализуется через публикации MCP-серверов, приложения потребителей, подписки, scopes и механизмы аудита. При публикации MCP-сервера из API можно выбрать только необходимые операции. Например, для сценария работы с клиентскими данными отдельно выделяются инструменты чтения карточки, расчёта предварительного лимита и изменения установленного лимита.

Для разных агентов права могут разделяться на уровне scopes. При этом наличие права на операцию не должно автоматически давать доступ ко всем данным. Дополнительно проверяются конкретный объект, организация и допустимые поля. Для критичных операций предусматривается отдельное подтверждение, а защита от повторного выполнения должна обеспечиваться на стороне исполняющего компонента.

Отдельное внимание уделяется отзыву доступа. В зависимости от ситуации могут потребоваться разные действия: блокировка утёкшего токена, замена скомпрометированных credentials, отзыв отдельного scope или отключение подписки приложения на MCP-сервер. После изменения полномочий необходимо проверить поведение старых и новых токенов, существующих сессий и всех задействованных узлов.

Introduction

Clips in the Netflix mobile app.

At Netflix, a crucial part of our mission is ensuring our content looks stunning on any device. Vertical formats are increasingly important for Netflix, as we have 1.2B followers across our social media accounts, and have recently rolled out Clips, our vertical video feed in the Netflix mobile app. Traditionally, creating vertical assets meant editors and producers manually reframed horizontal videos in editing tools, a process that doesn’t scale as our catalog and use cases grow. To support both our in‑app feed and external marketing campaigns at scale, we built an automated multi‑ratio video cropping system, tightly integrated into our internal production tools, that can generate high‑quality vertical and other aspect‑ratio variants with minimal manual effort.

Our Video Resizing Approach

Converting cinematic 16:9 footage into mobile‑friendly aspect ratios takes more than a simple center crop. Filmmaking often involves dynamic character blocking and complex camera movement. We need an intelligent “virtual camera” that can follow the key action, respond to how each scene is composed, and produce crops that feel as intentional as the original shot.

We address this challenge by framing video resizing as a tracking and temporal optimization problem. Our pipeline processes each asset in three main stages, designed to produce 9:16, 4:5, and 1:1 crops in a single pass, without incurring additional computational overhead.

An overview of the three-stage process converting horizontal footage into mobile aspect ratios.

Shot Detection and Splitting

First, we segment the video into atomic shots using a neural‑network–based shot boundary detector. In many cases, shots contain multiple characters conversing on opposite sides of the frame. To better handle these scenarios, we use an Active Speaker Detection based approach to logically split a single continuous shot into multiple sub‑shots. This allows our virtual camera to cut and re-focus on different speakers as the conversation flows. Our Active Speaker Detection leverages an internal face detector and LipFlap to reliably identify active speakers in both live‑action and animated titles.

Shot splitting via Active Speaker Detection. The magenta box represents the dynamic vertical crop.

Focus Region Discovery

Once shots and sub‑shots are defined, we identify the most important region in each frame. We combine face detections with visual saliency maps to filter and prioritize the faces that should be in focus. In scenes with multiple characters, we further rank faces using signals such as active speaker status and relative size. Our model aggregates these cues with shot‑level content understanding to establish a continuous “focus region” for the virtual camera.

Blue box shows the focus region around the primary character for reframing.

Temporal Reframing

Once we’ve established the focus region, the next challenge is deciding how the crop should move over time. Tracking the focus region on a strict frame-by-frame basis would produce a shaky, distracting viewing experience, so we apply a set of heuristics that consider how the focus region moves over the course of a shot. When its displacement is small, we lock a static crop window that consistently covers the relevant area. When there is significant motion, we compute a dynamic tracking window and smooth its path so that any panning feels intentional and cinematic.

The vertical crop (magenta box) follows the character’s movement with a smooth panning path.

Tooling and Workflow Integration

We integrated the resizing algorithm directly into our internal Clips tool, so editors and producers can access it as part of their existing workflow. The interface enables them to automatically generate multiple aspect‑ratio versions of a clip with smart reframing. A unified in‑app module provides intuitive shot‑reframing controls, allowing users to review the algorithm’s crops, and quickly make targeted adjustments where needed.

For more complex shots or custom campaigns, producers can export the resizing parameters as XML and load them directly into external timeline editors such as Adobe Premiere. This allows agencies and external partners to start from the algorithm’s framing decisions instead of recreating crops manually or relying on tools like Premiere’s Auto Reframe. In our internal test, our resizing algorithm outperforms Auto Reframe on a curated evaluation set, so the XML export effectively brings those higher‑quality crops into external workflows. By bringing automated resizing and manual refinement into a single place, this pipeline significantly reduces production time and manual effort while preserving creative control.

Video resizing interface with reframing controls

Conclusion

Our work on multi-ratio video resizing is one step in a broader effort to make content creation more scalable, without compromising creative intent. By pairing algorithm-driven reframing with editor-friendly tools, we’ve reduced the time teams spend on repetitive resizing tasks and unlocked faster experimentation across mobile feeds and marketing campaigns. As we continue to broaden these capabilities to new formats and workflows, our goal remains the same: to give creatives more time to tell great stories, and to deliver a consistently high-quality viewing experience for our members and fans.

Test Methodology for Multi-Accelerator Copper Scale-up Interconnect (video)
In a copper scale-up domain, thousands of connections per rack mean roughly 10 bad links even at 99.9% yield — and blind-mate cartridges leave no per-link serviceability. At Meta, we look at this as a statistical problem rather than a set of isolated debugging problems. This talk shares our test methodology.
Speakers: Yao Rong, Systems Engineer, AI Systems, Meta; Karthik Ganesan, AI/HPC System Performance Engineer, Meta

RDMA Transport

MetaRoCE: Rethinking RDMA for AI (video)

Doubles players sign open letter pleading with tennis chiefs to ‘protect’ format
Published: 2026-10-26 15:55:46 | Created: 2026-10-26 16:00:58
  • Plans to slash games by half and prize money criticised

  • ‘Hard for players to build and sustain a doubles career’

More than 150 doubles players on the men’s ATP tour have signed an open letter addressed to the ATP board and management imploring the men’s tennis governing bodies to reconsider controversial doubles reforms and “protect” the format in professional tennis.

The subject of potential reforms to the ATP has been a significant issue since players were informed in a meeting during Wimbledon that the ATP was conducting a review of its doubles regulations and potential changes could see doubles draws being halved at the ATP events in 2028. Under these proposals, ATP Masters 1000 events would host only 16 doubles teams and the main draws at ATP 500 and 250 events would accommodate only eight teams.

Черный октябрь «Яндекса»: анатомия архитектурной и управленческой катастрофы, которую списали на форс‑мажор
Feed: Все публикации подряд на Хабре (https://habr.com/ru/rss/articles/)
Published: 2026-10-26 15:53:48 | Created: 2026-10-26 15:54:59

В октябре 2026 года российский ИТ‑рынок наблюдал беспрецедентный по масштабу коллапс: за четверо суток физически вышли из строя три дата‑центра «Яндекса» в Центральной России (Сасово, Калуга, Владимир). Итогом стали обрушение облачной платформы Yandex Cloud, остановка ключевых сервисов экосистемы (от Такси до Директа), потеря недельных данных у ряда внешних клиентов и 11-дневная кома финтех‑вертикали («Яндекс Пэй» и «Сплит»).

В публичном поле эту аварию удобно списывать на «непреодолимый военный форс‑мажор» — мол, ни одна архитектура не рассчитана на потерю трех ЦОДов подряд.

Как архитекторы, мы обязаны смотреть на факты без розовых очков. Если препарировать поминутную хронику событий с 8 по 22 октября, становится очевидно: физическое поражение площадок стало лишь триггером. Масштаб и длительность катастрофы — это прямое следствие фундаментальных просчетов в проектировании распределенных систем, управлении мощностями (Capacity Management) и оценке рисков на уровне C‑level.

В этой статье мы разберем по косточкам, почему у «Яндекса» было целых 74 часа на спасение системы между первым и решающим ударами, почему они не смогли ими воспользоваться, откуда в финтехе взялись фантомные списания и 11 суток ручной сверки балансов, и главное — как должна выглядеть архитектура, способная пережить подобный шторм.

Nano Banana 2.1 или ChatGPT Image 2.5: сравниваем нейросети для генерации изображений на 5 одинаковых промптах

Nano Banana 2.1 и ChatGPT Image 2.5 решают похожую задачу: создают изображения по текстовому промпту и редактируют готовые картинки. Но после нескольких генераций становится понятно, что модели ошибаются по-разному. Одна точнее следует техническому заданию, другая лучше сохраняет лицо или делает визуал более «собранным».

Сравнивать такие нейросети по одному красивому примеру бессмысленно. Для продуктового изображения важнее точность расположения объектов, для афиши — текст, для рекламного кадра — сходство с референсом, а для редактирования — способность изменить ровно один элемент и не перерисовать всё остальное.
