Чем больше участники рынка стремятся выбрать для своей продукции или услуг обозначение, вызывающее у потребителя определенную ассоциацию непосредственно с предлагаемым товаром или услугой, тем чаще им приходится сталкиваться с отказом в регистрации обозначений по так называемым абсолютным основаниям, когда обозначение не способно выполнять свою главную функцию — индивидуализацию товаров или услуг юридических лиц или индивидуальных предпринимателей. Вместе с патентным поверенным Анной Чернецовой разбираемся, что говорят закон и практика.

The family of a Palestinian-American man remain holed up in his West Bank home for more than a week, after Israeli settlers laid siege to the house and the Israeli army then turned it into a closed military area.

Exclusive: Prison officers’ union strongly opposes HMP Millsike offering flexible work escorting prisoners amid staff shortages

Andy Burnham is under pressure to intervene in a privately run prison that is seeking to recruit custody officers on zero-hours contracts for the first time across England and Wales’ prison estate.

Managers at HMP Millsike, a category C prison for 1,500 prisoners near York operated by the outsourcing company Mitie, have signed off online adverts for £25-an-hour prisoner escort roles “on a flexible, task-based basis”.

Rankings based on community life survey put two Devon districts in top five and Stoke and Ipswich near bottom

The Isles of Scilly have been named as the friendliest place in England as part of a major study into social division across Britain.

All 296 local authority areas have been ranked in a new index using government data from the community life survey, measuring how often people chat to neighbours, feelings of loneliness and belonging, local pride, and levels of participation in civic life.

Эра сайдкаров заканчивается. Ambient-режим в Istio достиг GA ещё в конце 2024-го, а к 2026 году для новых кластеров это уже режим по умолчанию. На каждой второй конференции звучит «сайдкары — это дорого, ambient — это будущее», и складывается соблазнительно простое правило: новый кластер → берём ambient, и не думаем.

Это правило работает ровно до того момента, пока вы не выкатываете в ambient канарейку и не обнаруживаете, что весь трафик идёт мимо неё. Или пока ваша свежая AuthorizationPolicy молча не блокирует легитимные запросы. Или пока вам не понадобится зрелый мультикластер.

Выбор между sidecar и ambient — это не тумблер «старое/новое». Это инженерное решение со своими компромиссами, и неверный выбор всплывает уже посреди внедрения, неприятными сюрпризами. В этой статье разберём, чем режимы реально отличаются под капотом, в чём главная ловушка ambient, что с ресурсами, апгрейдами и мультикластером, и как выбирать осознанно.

Версии на момент написания: Istio 1.30.x, Kubernetes 1.32–1.36. Темы вроде статуса мультикластера быстро меняются — сверяйтесь со своей версией.

Lee Jae Myung reiterates desire for full command back in Seoul’s hands after Donald Trump cuts joint exercises, citing warm ties with Kim Jong-un

• ‘Inane, haphazard decision’ by Trump to gut South Korea alliance

South Korea’s president ⁠has renewed his push to regain independent control of the military from the US in the event of war and urged faster progress in acquiring nuclear-powered submarines after Donald Trump’s order to cut joint drills.

On Sunday night, Trump instructed the Pentagon to “substantially reduce” this week’s joint military exercises with South Korea, saying the nuclear-armed North “has been unthreatening and respectful” and that the US president had a “very good relationship with Kim Jong-un”.

A prosecutor said that while few have been willing to speak about the 1996 killing of Tupac Shakur, Duane "Keffe D" Davis is the "one person who has a hard time being silent."

По данным McKinsey, к концу 2025 года 71% компаний пробовали интегрировать искусственный интеллект как минимум в один из бизнес-процессов. Звучит мощно, но по отчётам MIT из всех пилотов в реальный продакшн переезжают около 5%.

Разрыв между демо и реальностью заключается в том, что продакшн-готовое решение должно отвечать на сложные вопросы: 

- как из множества разносторонних источников выбрать ту информацию, которая приведёт к успешному выполнению процесса?

- как обогатить языковую модель инструментами, при помощи которых она может довести процесс до конца?

- как оценить качество траектории, по которой движется модель, пока решает задачу?

Мы нашли ответы на эти вопросы с помощью системы, которая постепенно превращает внутренние знания и процессы Авито в корпоративных агентов. Расскажу про неё подробнее.

Привет! Меня зовут Никита, я старший DS-инженер в Авито. В этой статье расскажу, как мы строили «Виталика» — нашу корпоративную экосистему ИИ-агентов. Отвечу на три главных вопроса: как процесс становится агентом, как сделать систему production-ready и куда развивать её дальше.

Статья будет полезна ML-инженерам, AI-архитекторам и техническим лидам, которые строят агентные системы на базе LLM в корпоративной среде.

More than 100 workers at BHP lost their jobs, or resigned, during the last financial year after sexually harassing colleagues, which included numerous instances of indecent touching, stalking and grooming.

The harassment cases, disclosed in the mining giant’s annual report on Tuesday, come during a period of heightened scrutiny of remote work sites, where female workers across the industry have raised allegations of systemic sexual harassment, violence and retaliation.

Psychiatrists in Channel 4 documentary argue it is more a ‘social construct’ than a medical condition

People are increasingly seeking to an obtain an ADHD diagnosis without pursuing treatment, according to experts who have called for more research to understand why.

Some people now regard ADHD as “an identity, rather than a disorder”, with the result that many obtain assessments from poor quality private providers, which lead them to “believe they have a condition needing treatment”, said the psychiatrist Dr Marios Adamou, the founder of the UK Adult ADHD Network.

In today’s newsletter: The women most at risk of violence are often the least likely to be heard – the murder of two sex workers shows why that must change

Good morning. Last week, Simon Levy, a registered sex offender, was sentenced to a rare whole life tariff for the murders of Carmenza Valencia-Trujillo and Sheryl Wilkins. Both women, as well as others targeted by Levy, were vulnerable and involved in sex work.

This was no coincidence: in the sentencing remarks, it was noted that Levy – who had a history of sexual offending dating back to 2018 – selected women who sold sex as his victims because he believed he could get away with it.

The diplomatic spat continues to simmer as Moscow summons Tokyo’s ambassador after the Russian president’s trip to the disputed islands last week

The diplomatic spat between Japan and Russia following Vladimir Putin’s visit to an archipelago of disputed islands north of Hokkaido continues to escalate, after Moscow summoned the Japanese ambassador on Tuesday.

On Thursday Sanae Takaichi, Japan’s prime minister, called Putin’s actions “absolutely unacceptable” and Russia’s ambassador in Tokyo was immediately called in for a dressing down. Russia countered that it was Japan making unfounded claims on its territory.

Coding agent может написать технически правильный код и всё равно сделать неправильное изменение. Причина не обязательно в модели или промпте. Репозиторий может содержать несколько правдоподобных источников, неявный ownership, устаревшие артефакты или доказательство, которое относится не к той ревизии. Для человека часть этих противоречий компенсируется контекстом команды. У агента этого контекста может не быть.

• Marta Kostyuk and Peyton Stearns beat American pair 6-2, 1-6, 10-8

• Serena and Venus enjoy ‘fun’ on-court reunion despite defeat

Just one game into the family reunion of the decade, Venus Williams launched herself inside the baseline in her single-minded pursuit of a puffball second serve. For a brief moment, grandstand stadium at the Cincinnati Open had been transported back 15 years. Williams pounded her forehand return directly at the right hip of her opponent Marta Kostyuk, instantly eliciting gasps from the audience as she snatched the point. Back when the Williams sisters spent their spare time racking up grand slam titles for fun, this is how they dealt with most adversaries.

In the end, Venus and Serena’s first doubles match in four years, and just their second in the past decade, ended in a rollercoaster 6-2, 1-6, 10-8 defeat to Kostyuk and Peyton Stearns, another wildcard pair and two formidable singles players. For once, the result did not seem to matter.

The PM’s net zero pragmatism may please some voters, but as parts of the country go up in flames, it’s an increasingly hard sell

When the siren sounded on Friday night, my first thought was fire.

Weeks of unrelenting sun in the normally soggy Peak District, where I was visiting my mum, have bleached green valleys a dangerously dry, crispy blond. One of her neighbours had earlier pointed out an ominous cloud of smoke on the horizon, coming from one of the wildfires raging all summer on the moor. When that harsh, discordant shriek blared from every mobile phone in the house, I was half-braced for an evacuation order, not what turned out to be a faintly melodramatic warning to the nation to lay off the barbecues. A false alarm, of sorts, but one that felt uneasily like a wake-up call.

Two Café Cecilia stalwarts that are just the thing for the summer heat

Five years after Café Cecilia opened, a handful of dishes have become permanent fixtures, returning to the menu time and again – and this confit trout salad is definitely one of them. During the recent heatwaves, we’ve naturally shifted towards dishes that are best served at room temperature or slightly warm, and both of these recipes reflect that approach. They’re designed to serve two, but can just as easily be scaled up for a larger group. And almost everything can be prepared in advance, making them ideal for entertaining at home.

Rick Baker helped define Hollywood’s creature features with his wild makeup effects skills. From Locarno, he talks Gremlins, his love of simians– and why AI will never replace expert design

When Rick Baker was 22 years old and laying the first bricks of what would become one of the great Hollywood careers, he travelled to Hatra in Iraq with director William Friedkin to assist with Max von Sydow’s makeup on The Exorcist. “Oh, he was definitely a lunatic,” Baker recalls of Friedkin, his signature goatee and ponytail still intact, if a little more salt than pepper these days. “But he made a great movie.” Friedkin had been travelling with a fake passport, and the production was plagued by extreme heat and dust storms – but the show went on. “I did von Sydow’s hands,” Baker says. “I pretty much just held a glue bottle.”

We are speaking in Locarno, Switzerland, during the film festival, where Baker has accepted a lifetime achievement award and introduced screenings of An American Werewolf in London and The Nutty Professor – the first and fourth of his seven Oscar wins. When he completed his last big production, Maleficent, in 2014, it ended a more than 40-year career in which he made some huge contributions to popular culture. The monsters in Michael Jackson’s Thriller video? They were Baker’s handiwork. The Mos Eisley cantina band in Star Wars? That was him, too. In 1999, he leaked a story to the press to stop the studio from simply painting Jim Carrey green instead of using his designs for How the Grinch Stole Christmas; he won the argument and a sixth Oscar followed.

Nearly a decade after fighting ended in northern Iraq, the climate crisis has brought extreme heat and a water shortage, making life almost impossible

The first thing that strikes visitors arriving in Faka, a small village in al-Ayadiya district, northern Iraq, is the silence. No children play in the streets. No shops are open. Roofless houses stretch across the hillside, their walls pockmarked by shellfire, while weeds and wild grasses grow through collapsed living rooms.

A decade after Islamic State (IS) swept across the region, war remains visible everywhere. But according to the people who returned, another enemy has quietly taken its place.

Rajab Mohammed says the problem in his village of Faka is no longer Islamic State but water and jobs

Many buyers wait in hope of better deal, although there are hotspots in Scotland and northern England

As the Middle East conflict continues to unfold, the property platform Zoopla said homes in 180 out of 363 local authorities in England, Scotland and Wales were taking longer to sell compared with a year ago.

Для решения проблемы SAT предлагается алгоритм, который вытекает из нестандартного доказательства полноты метода резолюций. В отличие от SAT-солверов, использующих поиск с возвратом, алгоритм исключает переменные по очереди, порождая новые клаузы. Все клаузы хранятся в структуре данных, в которой никакая клауза не является частью другой клаузы. На основании результатов тестирования выдвинуто предположение о небольшом объеме этой структуры данных, что определяет теоретическую оценку времени выполнения алгоритма.

As men we’re often taught to chase lives defined by vanity and hollow expressions. But genuine decency lasts far longer than any name on a building

Occasionally, in our lives, there are markers that arrive with enough strength to hop us off the treadmill just long enough to remind ourselves that everyone’s race has a finish line, and none of us are getting out of this jolly for free.

One of these blots is often when someone we know passes away.
