В статье описан процесс проектирования и испытания рамы для пятдюймового квадрокоптера Clover с применением 3D-печати. Целью работы было найти лёгкую и достаточно жёсткую конструкцию, пригодную для печати на доступном оборудовании, для этого были созданы и сравнены несколько вариантов геометрии, выполнены упрощённые статические и динамические расчёты, а также изготовлены опытные образцы.

Уже несколько месяцев я активно экспериментирую с локальными языковыми моделями на своем ноутбуке Lenovo ThinkPad P16 Gen 2 (Intel Core i7-13850HX, 128 GB RAM, Samsung 980 Pro 2 TB + 990 Pro 1 TB).

Конфигурация очень бодрая для любых задач, кроме… работы с тяжелыми ИИ-моделями. И узкое горлышко здесь очевидно - видеокарта Nvidia RTX 2000 Ada Laptop всего с 8 ГБ VRAM.

Дискретная, быстрая, заточенная под ИИ, но видеопамяти катастрофически мало! Тем не менее даже в эти 8 гигабайт вполне можно уместить отличную локальную модель, да еще и с контекстом на 8192 токена. Это позволяет вести долгие осмысленные диалоги без потери нити обсуждения.

После долгих поисков и тестов я остановился на одной модели - gemma-4-12B-it-QAT в квантовании q4_0.

Почему именно она?

Премиальный уровень «из коробки»: Это модель от Google, обученная на их топовых решениях. Метод QAT (Quantization-Aware Training) минимизирует потери качества при «упаковке» в 4 бита.

Минимум галлюцинаций: При правильной настройке (особенно с немного заниженной температурой) модель отлично держит контекст и выдает точные энциклопедические данные. Срез знаний у нее свежий “конец 2025 - начало 2026 года”. Настоящая локальная «мини-Википедия»!

Хороший кодинг: Модель отлично пишет код (особенно на Python и PowerShell). Последующая верификация в среде разработки проходит практически со 100%-й точностью. Идеально влезает в VRAM: Вместе с контекстом в 8192 токена она целиком помещается в 8 ГБ видеопамяти. В LM Studio на моем ноутбуке она выдает честные 12 токенов в секунду, чего более чем достаточно для комфортного диалога.

Fox News pundits hardly criticized the US president in midterms coverage but Trump was still quick to cast blame

• US midterms 2026 live – latest updates

In the weeks leading up to Tuesday’s midterm elections, Donald Trump made clear that he would place some blame on his favorite cable channel, Fox News, if his party did poorly.

On election day, he didn’t disappoint.

Wall Street surged at the open, after Democrats scored historic victories in midterm elections and secured control of US Congress.

The Dow Jones rose 2%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq and the benchmark S&P 500 both gained more than 1%. That’s quite a reversal: Overnight, stock futures fell sharply as investors worried about the prospect of tougher regulation of the AI sector and the impact on economic growth.

Есть множество проектов, в которых нужно разработать какое-либо ПО с жёсткими ограничениями по бюджету. Хочу поделиться своим методом работы с такими проектами.

Это не серебряная пуля, но, думаю, мой опыт будет интересен. В основном такой подход я практикую для небольших проектов: срок разработки — до 14 месяцев, а общее количество участников команды — до 10 человек. Для более крупных проектов такой подход уже не подойдёт: сделать их бюджетно — совсем другая история.

Сразу уточню границы. Речь не о ситуации, когда денег нет совсем, а о проекте, на который есть примерно 60–70% от необходимой суммы. Этот диапазон основан на моём личном опыте нескольких проектов, а не на универсальной формуле: конкретный результат зависит от системы, команды и ограничений заказчика. Размер возможной экономии сильно зависит от квалификации техлида проекта. Также рассказ будет о создании чего-то нового, когда нельзя просто переиспользовать предыдущий опыт и готовые наработки. Не все описанные шаги нужны для каждого проекта, но пропускать их стоит осознанно, а не потому, что на них якобы нет денег.

Donald Trump’s unrelenting focus on the ‘beautification of Washington’ and Fox News ratings did not stop the Democrats’ decisive midterm election wins

Standing at the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool on Monday afternoon, Donald Trump zeroed in on his closing message of the high-stakes midterm elections: it can take a long time to get rid of filth.

Less than 24 hours before Americans headed to the polls, the US president staged a bizarre press conference in which he touted his troubled $14m renovation of the Washington DC landmark and blamed his predecessors for the algae that once bloomed in its water.

Bookmakers’ odds have shortened to 8/13 for the British actor, seen sipping martinis with his wife Dua Lipa at the weekend

Ten days after final screentests for the most coveted role in British cinema, one actor has emerged as a strong favourite to don the 007 tux for Denis Villeneuve’s forthcoming film.

The bookmaker William Hill has cut the odds of Callum Turner being named as the next James Bond from 3/1 to 8/13, with previous favourite Jack Lowden now at 2/1. Josh O’Connor, who also auditioned recently, is now at 9/2, with Richard Madden, Robert Pattinson and Joe Alwyn at 16/1.

From Kyiv to Moscow, and Tehran to Tel Aviv, all eyes were on the Democrats big win as foreign powers weigh how a flipped Congress will affect international relations.

Documents show Home Office developing programme to use technology for general immigration enforcement

The Home Office is preparing to deploy facial recognition technology at transport hubs and public events as part of the biggest immigration enforcement crackdown in British history.

Policy documents show the government has been developing a programme to deploy live facial recognition (LFR) cameras for “general immigration enforcement”, including non-criminal immigration offences.

Move comes after attorney general blocks Shin Bet call to interrogate politicians from Palestinian-led parties

Israel’s election commission on Wednesday confirmed the final results of last week’s vote that stripped Benjamin Netanyahu’s far-right coalition of its governing majority, rejecting claims of mass fraud promoted by the prime minister.

The main challenger, Gadi Eisenkot, said Netanyahu had launched a “pogrom against democracy” in attempting to hold on to power by discrediting valid votes and weaponising security forces against parties led by Palestinian citizens of Israel.

When Abdul El-Sayed narrowly won the Democratic nomination for an open Senate seat in Michigan back in August, it teed up the first true swing-state test for the party’s left faction, which had largely been confined to representing progressive enclaves in the Trump era.

They just passed that test. El-Sayed defeated GOP nominee Mike Rogers, and he’ll be the newest US senator from Michigan in January. 

His win is historic; El-Sayed will be the first Muslim to serve in the Senate. It also may be just the start: His charisma and ability to go viral have already made him a political star; some of his fans are already anticipating a future presidential run.

Yet his path to this point was far from easy. El-Sayed battled the Democratic establishment-backed US Rep. Haley Stevens in one of the most intense and bitter Democratic primaries in the country, and had to beat back an astonishing $30 million in AIPAC spending on Stevens’s behalf.

Then, in the general election, El-Sayed faced Islamophobic attacks from Republicans like President Donald Trump, who called him a “jihadist Muslim Brotherhood member” who would create “a nightmare of violence and terror” in the US. 

El-Sayed also maintained tense relations with some pro-Israel Democrats, who argued he was slow to criticize antisemitic rhetoric from his own supporters. These tensions came to a boiling point just two days before the election, when his primary rival Stevens stunned the political world by endorsing Rogers, saying El-Sayed hadn’t done enough to condemn an ad by a super PAC not affiliated with his campaign that had been criticized as antisemitic.

Other Jewish Democrats, however, supported and defended El-Sayed — including Sen. Bernie Sanders, a longtime supporter of his.

Indeed, El-Sayed’s political platform can be said to epitomize the next generation of the Sanders wing of the Democratic Party. Domestically, he attacks billionaire and corporate influence, backs sweeping social welfare spending like Medicare-for-all, and wants to abolish ICE. And abroad, El-Sayed supports a full arms embargo on Israel.

Platforms like El-Sayed’s had already triumphed in several deep blue states and cities. But Michigan is a classic swing state that voted for Trump in two of the past three presidential elections. So El-Sayed’s nomination tested whether a progressive as bold as he could actually win in this environment amid fears from many Democrats — exacerbated by Trump’s 2024 win — that the party urgently needed to move in the opposite direction. And despite the last-minute twist with Stevens endorsing his opponent, El-Sayed did win.

He was, of course, helped by a nationwide blue wave that benefited Democrats across the country. Critics argued that, considering that wave, El-Sayed’s performance was not all that impressive, with his winning margin likely falling short of other candidates in (until now) redder territory.

But whatever the margin, a win is a win, and El-Sayed is now headed to the Senate as one of the most high-profile and influential figures in movement politics.

How El-Sayed won

El-Sayed’s victory has been a long time coming. A Rhodes scholar, epidemiology professor, and public health administrator, he first ran for office in the 2018 cycle, in the Democratic primary for Michigan governor. He ran as a champion of Medicare-for-all, and earned the support of Sanders and new Democratic star US Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

He lost that primary campaign to Gretchen Whitmer, who went on to win two terms as governor.  But in the years after that campaign, El-Sayed continued to be an influential voice on the left, hosting podcasts and serving as health director of Wayne County (the Michigan county that includes Detroit).

After the Gaza war broke out, El-Sayed became deeply disillusioned with the Biden administration’s support for Israel, accusing Benjamin Netanyahu’s government of perpetrating a genocide. He voted “uncommitted” in the 2024 Democratic presidential primary in Michigan, saying he wanted to send a message to Biden that his vote was in jeopardy for the fall. (El-Sayed ended up endorsing Kamala Harris shortly after Biden quit his reelection campaign.)

But when two-term Sen. Gary Peters (D-MI) unexpectedly announced that he wouldn’t run for reelection in January, El-Sayed decided to throw his hat into the open seat race to succeed him. A three-way contest between El-Sayed, Stevens, and state Sen. Mallory McMorrow took shape; El-Sayed was the candidate favored by the left, Stevens was backed by the Democratic establishment, and McMorrow tried unsuccessfully to find a middle ground between them.

El-Sayed’s candidacy quickly gained nationwide attention as one of several primaries in which left insurgents were battling establishment favorites, emphasizing their criticisms of Israel, hostility to big money corporate donors, and support of Medicare-for-all. Indeed, once Graham Platner quit Maine’s Senate race in July, El-Sayed arguably became the highest-profile left candidate in the country.

In part, that was because AIPAC was showering those tens of millions of dollars on his race. The money was intended to squelch El-Sayed’s candidacy and to back Stevens — a staunch supporter of Israel in the House. But the spending may have backfired by seeming to confirm El-Sayed’s narrative that big money was arrayed against him. 

The primary ended up being a squeaker, with El-Sayed beating Stevens by less than 1 percentage point. In the general election, however, he won the backing of top Democrats like the party’s Senate leader, Chuck Schumer, as well as Harris and former President Barack Obama.

There were, however, continuing tensions with Stevens, who had initially endorsed El-Sayed after the primary, but later voiced concerns that he wasn’t doing enough to denounce anti-Semitism from his supporters — and threw her support to Rogers.

But, up against Rogers — a former member of Congress and onetime FBI agent who narrowly lost a race for Michigan’s other US Senate seat in 2024, and who had staunchly defended Trump until belatedly seeking some distance in the campaign’s final weeks — El-Sayed emerged triumphant, boosted by the nationwide Democratic wave.

Beyond making El-Sayed the first Muslim US senator, his victory is significant for another reason: Sanders, the Senate’s left champion, is 85 years old. Now, when it comes time for him to pass the torch to the next generation, he’ll have at least one longtime ally ready to take it.

Democrats have won the House and the Senate, taking full control of Congress for the first time since 2023. And history was made in several states. Here's what happened last night.

Blocking Swedish writer’s entry for event with Palestine Action co-founder is attack on free expression, letter says

More than 900 academics have voiced their opposition to the government’s decision to block the climate academic Andreas Malm from entering the UK, warning that the move represents “a grave violation of academic freedom and freedom of expression”.

Malm, the author of How to Blow Up a Pipeline and a leading climate scholar, was prevented from entering the UK last week by the Home Office after being told that his presence in the UK “may not be considered to be conducive to the public good”.

Привет, Хабр!

В апреле я рассказывал, как написал антиспам-бота для Telegram на собственной нейросети. Тогда у бота были две команды для админов, ручное переключение режимов и обещание «когда-нибудь сделать публичный дашборд».

С тех пор прошло полгода. Бот всё так же бесплатный и всё так же пет-проект, который я допиливаю по вечерам. Но вокруг него наконец-то появилось нормальное окружение, а имеено сайт со статистикой, понятная инструкция и личный кабинет прямо в Telegram.

Коротко для тех, кто не читал первую статью: TAB (Telegram Antispam Bot) — бот, который сам находит и удаляет спам в чатах. Сообщения проверяет LSTM-модель с механизмом внимания, обученная на моей же библиотеке LANCETNIC. Готовые модели с HF я не брал - хотелось сделать свою модель.

• Owono says he feels ‘huge pain’ over tragedy

• Investigation into medical attention De Miguel received

The FC Andorra goalkeeper Jesús Owono said he was enduring the “hardest days of my life” after he was involved in the collision that led to the death of the Tenerife striker Jesús de Miguel.

Owono had raced out of his goal and crashed into De Miguel in added time at the end of the Spanish second division match on Monday afternoon, causing the striker to experience a cardiorespiratory arrest. De Miguel was taken to hospital in Santa Cruz de Tenerife but never regained consciousness and died on Tuesday morning.

• Full-back believes 3-2 win can transform season

• United were booed off by supporters at half-time

Diogo Dalot believes Manchester United’s comeback win against Roma in the Champions League on Tuesday can transform their troubled season and, as importantly, showed unhappy supporters that the players care.

The Glazer family, who have owned United since 2005 and loaded £1.2bn of debt onto the club, continue to be the focus for fan anger and there was yet another protest against them before kick-off at Old Trafford, with thousands of green and gold balloons released from the Stretford End. The home crowd sang anti-Glazer songs and threw tennis balls on to the pitch when the clock showed 20 minutes and five seconds, to symbolise the year 2005. The team have seven points from their opening nine games of the Premier League season; their worst start since 1987-88.
