Relatives of those missing have been given PowerPoint slideshows of recovered bodies in effort to speed up identification of the dead

The bodies continue to wash up. But the morgues have already run out of room.

Since the deadly floods coursed through the Himalayan valleys of Nepal and Tibet, the numbers of people killed have continued to rise. The bodies have surfaced in their hundreds and continue to be pulled from the thick, tar-like mud that engulfed everything after the flood waters receded. By Sunday, the death toll stood at 804 in Nepal and Tibet.

Outsourcing the industry to China cannot continue, but Europe knows it can no longer count on the US for a solution

The alarm sounded 16 years ago. In 2010, China blocked exports of key rare earths to Japan in a row over disputed islands in the East China Sea. The critical minerals are essential to everything from advanced weaponry and iPhones to electric vehicle batteries and wind turbines, so the rest of the world took note. But it didn’t take much action. China still accounts for about 70% of rare-earth mining globally and 90% of separation and processing.

Then, last year, Beijing forced Donald Trump to back away from his trade war – not with its retaliatory tariffs, but the curbing of rare-earth exports. A scramble for new supplies began in earnest. The year-long trade truce is due to expire in November. The price of erbium, an element essential to communications infrastructure, has already jumped because of fears that export controls will soon be renewed.

The far right is close to winning a state election for the first time since the second world war. A different economic approach is needed to combat it

The early autumn has become a time of foreboding and angst in German politics. In the eastern states that have become strongholds for the far-right Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party, it has regularly made headline-grabbing advances in September elections. Only the refusal of mainstream politicians to form coalitions with one of Europe’s most extreme movements has kept it out of power.

This year, the lights are flashing red. Next weekend, when voters in Saxony-Anhalt cast their ballots, the signs are that the traditional firewall may not be enough. In polling, the AfD is currently scoring above 40% in the state, which could win it enough seats to govern on its own. Compared with the last election in 2021, its support has doubled; backing for the closest challenger, the centre-right Christian Democratic Union (CDU), has tumbled by almost 15%.

Conservative hopeful says Sadiq Khan has ‘lost passion for the job’ and Andy Burnham is ‘very anti-London’

James Cleverly has pledged to run a “classically Conservative” campaign to become the mayor of London, insisting that his victory in the capital would be a stepping stone for Kemi Badenoch to become prime minister.

The former home and foreign secretary denied he had resigned from the shadow cabinet to run for mayor following a shift to the right under Badenoch’s leadership.

В мае я опубликовал на Хабре первую статью о MarkMello (легкий MD-просмотрщик). Изначальная задача была простой: сделать лёгкое приложение, которое быстро открывает локальный Markdown-файл сразу в режиме чтения.

Хочу рассказать вам о развитии этого проекта, во что он превратился на сегодняшний день, а так же поблагодарить всех контрибьюторов за участие проекте.

Deal that will reportedly see US take control of 65bn barrels of Venezuelan oil has provoked outrage in her country

Venezuela’s interim president, Delcy Rodríguez, has defended her government’s highly controversial energy deal with Donald Trump, insisting the South American country will maintain ownership and sovereignty over its massive oil reserves.

Rodríguez, who assumed power in January after Trump ordered the abduction of the president, Nicolás Maduro, took to the airwaves on Saturday to push back against criticism of what the US president has called “the biggest oil deal in world history”.

С февраля 2026 года активно откликаюсь на разные вакансии, потому как зарплаты упали, а хочется перспектив и развития. Несколько дней назад увидел, как в одном тг канале для автотестировщиков активно форсят ресурс updatecv.me. Решил и я попробовать.

Ресурс хочет денег — ну оно и неудивительно. 300 рублей можно и отдать за возможность стать круче в глазах работодателей.

Nathan Cofnas told by Ghent University to work remotely as US ambassador claims credit for lifting of suspension

Prof Jason Arday’s accuser Nathan Cofnas has been barred from teaching on Ghent University campus for three months but has been allowed to continue his research position.

Cofnas, an American academic, was suspended from his postdoctoral research position at the Belgian institution earlier this month pending a “preliminary investigation” launched after Arday’s death.

LLM-бум породил не только новые возможности, но и новое поколение атак. За два года мы увидели реальные атаки на агенты: один вредоносный email и Copilot сливает платёжные данные клиентов, одно фальшивое GitHub issue и CI/CD пайплайн скомпрометирован, один тщательно настроенный промпт и AI-агент выполняет удалённый код на вашей машине. Это уже далеко не теория, а зафиксированные исследователями в 2025 - 2026 годах атаки на Microsoft Copilot, OpenAI Atlas, Claude Code и Apple Intelligence.

Атаки становятся изощрённее: злоумышленники маскируют вредоносные инструкции под XML-политики, шифруют в base64, вставляют невидимые символы и даже прячут джейлбрейк в стихи. Встроенные фильтры LLM пропускают до 76% таких атак.

Значит, нужен другой подход - лёгкий, быстрый (чтобы не тормозить агента) и понятный (чтобы вы знали, почему запрос заблокировали). И главное, работающий без вызовов внешних API, внутри вашей инфраструктуры. Потому что в эпоху zero-click атак доверять безопасность облачному провайдеру, который пропускает почти всё, как минимум рискованно.

В этой статье разберем основные виды атак и посмотрим на примере, как выстроить базовую защиту с моделью безопасности OGL-Mini.

Раньше существовал естественный барьер между «мне интересно» и «я пошёл это делать». Чтобы попробовать написать музыку, нужно было хотя бы немного разобраться в DAW. Чтобы полезть в SEO, требовалось прочитать документацию, собрать инструменты, понять терминологию. Чтобы сделать сайт на WebGL, сначала неплохо было научиться оптимизировать такие сайты.

Теперь этот барьер почти исчез. И неожиданно оказалось, что это не только преимущество…
