Дронопорт на ГОКе: а теперь про деньги. Сколько стоит и когда окупается
Дисклеймер. Пишу от своего имени, с учётом 15-летнего опыта в робототехнике. И да, работаю в индустрии разработки дронопортов, так что полное право читать этот текст с прищуром у вас есть. Поэтому я не буду доказывать, что «дронопорт окупается за год и приносит миллионы» (хотя на нескольких проектах ЭРИ Мини действительно окупила себя за 1 год и 2 месяца). Я дам структуру расчёта и порядок величин, а точную картинку по своему карьеру вы соберёте сами. Половину входных данных по вашему объекту знаете только вы.

First Thing: Rescue efforts continue as death toll rises in Nepal-Tibet flood
More than 1,300 people are missing in Nepal and in Tibet after catastrophic flash floods swept through the region, killing at least 469. Plus: Six months of the war in Iran
Good morning.
Rescue operations have resumed in Nepal and Tibet after a pause when a lake at the border began to overflow. The lake was formed when a wall of mud and debris hit the hub of Gyirong in Tibet on Wednesday, causing catastrophic flash floods that thundered down valleys and obliterated villages.
What could have caused this deadly flash floods? Satellite imagery suggests a glacier collapse high in the Himalayas was the primary cause, raising concerns that the climate crisis is destabilizing the geology of mountain and polar regions.

Cocktail of the week: Legare’s mini bay leaf martini – recipe | The good mixer
Make a batch of this vodka- and vermouth-infused tipple to keep fresh in the fridge and sip over the weeks ahead
We came up with this when we were looking to create some fun, bespoke but easy-to-serve cocktails that we could pre-batch for busy services but that still had an edge. Vodka is an especially good base for infusions because it’s so neutral, while martinis are having a real moment right now, so this ended up ticking all our boxes, being something that’s recognisable but fun, and also noticeably our own.

The star has long been French cinema’s favourite tousle-haired Adonis, which makes his latest performance – as a schlubby, stay-at-home dad – all the more surprising. ‘I appreciate people laughing at me,’ he says
‘Even though I’ve been working in film for over 20 years, I still have this desire to look beautiful on screen,” says Louis Garrel, on a video call from his bed inside a boat off the coast of Corsica. The French film star is lying on his stomach, occasionally kicking up his bare legs, ruffling his curls and running the nail of his thumb over his moustache. I think the person he sees on the laptop screen in front of him is me, but I am pretty certain he is flirting with his own reflection.
The attraction between the Paris-born 43-year-old and the camera tends to be reciprocal. Long of limb, tousled of hair and chiselled of nose, Garrel has spent a career on screen as French cinema’s favourite Adonis – the man film-makers turn to when they need an erotic wrecking ball to smash up bourgeois twosomes and turn them into quivering menages a trois.

Тянуться к Shift, BackSpace, Enter, стрелкам и даже к мышке — все суета
Всем привет. Это вторая статья посвященная моему проекту Zero reach typing — как печатать не сдвигая руки к этим разным клавишам. Первая здесь. Статья набрала 11к просмотров и дала одну продажу (кто ты воин?). И это единственная продажа. Но я не сдаюсь, просто надо учить не только программирование, но и маркетинг.

Разработка постепенно меняет привычное разделение работы между человеком и инструментами. ИИ берет на себя не отдельные операции, а последовательность действий, для которой раньше требовалось участие специалиста. Но вместе с ростом автономности меняются и требования к самой системе. Агент должен понимать контекст проекта, знать внутренние правила и иметь доступ к инструментам, с которыми работает команда, а не просто искать информацию и писать код.
Эту тему подробно разобрали на восьмом митапе MWS для DevOps и SRE. Эксперты из MTC Web Services и Orion Soft показали разные стороны перехода к агентной разработке и поделились кейсами, как ИИ потихоньку превращается в виртуального сотрудника — агента, действующего без постоянного сопровождения человека, и что для этого приходится менять в инженерных процессах.

Мы с мужем геймеры, поэтому сына-первоклассника мы тоже знакомим с разными проектами и в какой-то момент стало интересно, а что ему это даёт кроме клевого времени вместе. Гугл показал кучу материала с довольно плоской логикой: стратегии развивают мышление, шутеры — реакцию, головоломки — логику.
Сначала это звучит удобно, когда я сама писала статью с подборкой таких полезных игр я пошла по этому же принципу. Считаю, что для родителей, которые хотят предложить ребёнку что-то вместо таймкиллеров, это классное быстрое решение.
Но потом я задумалась: есть же проблема в том, что все эти утверждения слишком общие. Если ребёнок хорошо строит мосты в игре, станет ли он от этого лучше понимать реальные задачи по физике? А если я сейчас залипаю в Цивилизацию — это правда поможет мне чуть улучшить знания по истории?
Я попробовала разобраться, что об этом вообще говорит наука. И посмотреть на несколько игр: какие задачи они ставят перед игроком, какую мыслительную работу требуют и можно ли считать этот игровой опыт обучением.

Какие показатели вам сейчас приходится регулярно собирать или смотреть в отчетах 1С?
Я руководитель, поэтому в 1С мне чаще всего нужны не документы сами по себе, а ответ на несколько довольно простых вопросов.
Как идут продажи?
Выполняем ли план?
Что изменилось по сравнению с прошлым периодом?
Есть ли просроченная задолженность?
Сколько сотрудников сейчас на местах?
Ответы на эти вопросы в базе есть. Но обычно они находятся не в одном месте. Открываешь продажи, выбираешь период. Потом переходишь в другой отчет. Меняешь отбор. Смотришь задолженность. Перед совещанием отдельно формируешь показатели по менеджерам. И в целом, если понадобилось разобраться глубже, то это нормально. Для этого отчеты и существуют, но иногда мне не нужен отчет целиком. Мне нужна одна цифра.

With 110 matches to feature two coaches appointed this year, tactical history may be more insightful than teams’ head-to-head records
New managers are facing an almost one-in-two chance of being fired before the end of the season, a finding from Guardian analysis that shows 22 of the past 50 permanent Premier League managers to leave their roles lasted less than a year.
The betting markets reflect this reality. Six of the eight Premier League managers deemed most likely by bookmakers to be next to leave their post were appointed in 2026. Football management is a very precarious employment position. It looks inevitable that some of the 11 men who have only been in their role since earlier this year will fall before the end of the 2026-27 season – even if none of them are the first to move on.

Autism groups and researchers have reacted with alarm to a federal research roadmap drawn up by advisers handpicked by the US health secretary, Robert F Kennedy Jr, fearing it will promote unproven fringe therapies at the expense of promising genetic research.
A slew of scientific bodies and groups within the autism community are warning that the 336-page plan risks deflecting federal dollars away from potentially groundbreaking genetic research in favor of unreliable alternative therapies.

In Robert Silverberg’s 1973 sci-fi anthology New Dimensions 3, there’s a story by author Terry Carr called They Live on Levels. The simplest outline of this tale is that thanks to a technological breakthrough, humans are able to exist and communicate through different planes of existence. Through musical styles and generational layers, the spectral folk of New York-based songwriter June McDoom expresses this very notion in stunning fashion.

If you’re still not convinced that creativity and originality are under siege, particularly in the movie business, look no further than the tangled tale of how the wholly joyous Coyote vs. Acme very nearly didn’t make it to a theater near you. As of summer 2018, the picture—a blend of animation and live action, adapted from a 1990 New Yorker article by Ian Frazier inspired by the forever-enduring Looney Tunes shorts—was already in development. In the spring of 2022, live-action filming took place in New Mexico. In November 2023, seeking a tax write-off, Warner Bros. Discovery decided to shelve the film; the company eventually agreed to allow the filmmakers to look for another distributor. After numerous false starts, Ketchup Entertainment acquired the rights to Coyote vs. Acme, which is why you’re now able to see the film in theaters, and eventually via streaming. In a world where entertainment conglomerates are clearly focused only on profits, this seems like a small miracle, which is why you should run—Beep beep!—not walk to see this late-summer delight on the big screen.
The premise is simple yet ingenious: After years of being zonked out by iron wrecking balls, of having slingshots overshoot the mark not by feet but by miles, of having dynamite blow his face off, Wile E. Coyote, a longtime consumer of ACME products, has decided to sue the company that has caused him so much misery. He has used all that ACME stuff for one purpose only: to ensnare the object of his eternal salivation, the tufted blue-and-yellow speed demon known as the Road Runner, both uncatchable and unknowable. But now, it seems, enough is enough, and maybe ACME is the problem. Wile E. enlists the help of a law firm specializing in personal injury cases (it’s called Avery, Jones & Maltese, a nod to three of the Looney Tunes’ chief architects, Tex Avery, Chuck Jones, and Michael Maltese), and it's headed by Kevin Avery (Will Forte), whose specialty is getting settlements of a hundred bucks here or there from cartoon characters who have had limbs and such blown off—temporarily, thank god—by faulty products.
Coyote vs. Acme is set in a world where cartoons and humans coexist without batting an eye, so it’s business as usual when Wile E. shows up at Avery’s Albuquerque headquarters. Avery is pretty sure he can get his client a few hundred smackers for the defective rocket-powered roller skates our coyote friend has hauled in as Exhibit A. But then Wile E. unfurls, magically, a bundle including every single ACME product that has ever clocked his noggin or blasted him to oblivion: these million and one instruments of pain and suffering spring high into the sky, like magic rocks gone wild. Avery is still reluctant to sue the pants off ACME. But his niece and intern Paige (Lana Condor) persuades him this is one case that could really make a difference for thousands of disadvantaged cartoon characters, many of whom, including Porky Pig, Daffy, and Tweety Bird, show up in sprightly cameos. That’s how Avery finds himself up against ACME’s bulldog lawyer Buddy Crane (John Cena, who, with his square, precise jaw and squinty smirk, looks like a work of vintage hand-drawn animation himself). He also learns that Wile E.’s case isn’t isolated: ACME has long been involved in a nefarious plot to make millions by taking advantage of hapless cartoon characters.
Coyote vs. Acme was directed by Dave Green, whose highest-profile movie to date may have been 2016’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows. But his confidence sings here: to say Coyote vs. Acme benefits from a light touch may seem odd—this is, after all, a movie where heads are clonked with mallets and facial features are rearranged by malfunctioning explosives. But the spirit of Coyote vs. Acme is everything. The script was written by Samy Burch, James Gunn, and Jeremy Slater; the voices of most of the characters—including Bugs Bunny, as a trenchcoat-wearing informant, and Elmer Fudd, as an earnest senator in charge of questioning “Mr. Runner” during a hearing—are provided by voice actor Eric Bauza, who clearly aced his studies at the University of Mel Blanc. Forte makes a fabulous foil for his cartoon costars: he never tries to outdo them, preferring to bow to their lunatic majesty. He knows they’re what we’ve come here for.
Because the Road Runner cartoons—which, along with the other works of genius in the Looney Tunes galaxy, made many of us the warped individuals we are today—were never really about the Road Runner. He’s moving too fast for us to ever get a handle on him; his job is to outsmart the coyote who hopes to catch him and turn him into stew, and he’s simply too good at that job. We know he’s always going to win, which makes him less interesting than his nemesis. Wile E. Coyote, with his conniving yellow eyes, a voiceless beast who communicates by holding up a series of signs scrawled with simple lines of dialogue, is the character we love in spite of ourselves. His untrustworthiness is his greatest quality; when he pretends to be nice, his canine lips turning up in a facsimile of a canine smile, we know it’s an act, and we can wear the joy of not being taken in by his deceptions as a badge of honor. It’s both funny and a little horrible when he goes splat into a slab of rocky desert clay, cutting a Wile E.-shaped hole into nature’s landscape. In Coyote vs. Acme, we almost feel something for him—almost. But in the end, he lets us off the hook; he will not let us fall victim to sentimentality. We're in on his con, and it's a pleasurable place to be.
Coyote vs. Acme is all about the little guys fighting, and winning against, a corporate behemoth. Could it be that Chuck Jones and his cohorts, by inventing a do-it-all, know-it-all company that could fulfill our every material desire, dropping off packages almost before we’d even placed an order, had in some cracked way foreseen the rise of Amazon? They probably couldn’t have imagined it, and it’s just as well, because the world they dreamed up—one of slapstick escape, of kerpow explosions that never did any actual harm, of faces and voices that we can summon in our memories as easily as those of our loved ones—is better than anything money can buy. In Coyote vs. Acme, the little guy wins, and we do too. Instead of being handed, in movie form, an exploding cigar that someone else thinks we want, we get the thing we didn’t know we wanted: a movie about a coyote, a bird, and a lawsuit, one that both speaks to our time and allows us, for the space of an hour or two, to escape it.

Инфляция 6%, а люди ждут 14,7%
Раз уже начал про инфляцию и ставку, то чего останавливаться, верно? Давайте обсудим что там с ожиданиями как раз по инфляции.
Вообще, с инфляцией сейчас получается достаточно «интересная» ситуация, потому что с одной стороны — по данным ЦБ России, годовая инфляция в июне 2026 года составила 6,02%. А уже в июльском опросе инФОМ россияне оценили ожидаемую инфляцию на ближайшие 12 месяцев в 14,7% против 12,4% месяцем ранее.
И более того, инфляцию, которую люди считают уже произошедшей за последние 12 месяцев, они оценили в 15,1%. Цифры довольно разные, мягко говоря.

Memo to Ridley Scott: no one needs more Alien: Covenant movies – get the franchise back to stalk’n’slash
News that Scott is working on a follow-up to his maligned 2017 film leaves me worried the franchise has run out of shocks
If any science-fiction saga looked beyond recovery, it was the Alien franchise. For the 38 years that followed James Cameron’s Aliens, film-makers contrived to find every imaginable way of not making a good Alien film. They tried killing everyone the audience cared about before the opening credits, marooning Sigourney Weaver on a planet populated entirely by bald British character actors, cloning Ripley, pitting xenomorphs against Predators, and sending scientists across the universe to ask an enormous, hairless space bodybuilder why he made them. They even ponied up the thick end of $100m for a film in which Michael Fassbender teaches himself to play the flute.
And then in 2024, we got Fede Álvarez’s Alien: Romulus, in which actual xenomorphs chase actual human beings down actual corridors for the clearly defined purposes of either killing them or putting smaller xenomorphs inside them. Better still, a year later we got Noah Hawley’s Alien: Earth, which reminded us that giant, murderous space insects are in fact less awful than tech trillionaires.

Как принимать оплату самозанятым IT-фрилансерам и не попасть под санкции ФНС: переводы, онлайн-платежи, чеки и сервисы
Не откладывай на завтра то, что можно автоматизировать сегодня. Сотрудникам IT-компаний, которые работают по ТК или сервисному договору, зарплата приходит без их участия: платежами занимается бухгалтерия. Но если хочется уйти на фриланс, с финансами придётся иметь дело самостоятельно.
В способах приёма денег от клиентов режим налога на профессиональный доход (НПД) не ограничивает: подойдёт оплата через СБП, по номеру карты, QR-коду и платёжной ссылке. Но есть нюансы: чеки, налоги, лимиты, возвраты. Именно поэтому в статье рассказываю, как принимать оплату самозанятым в IT и как автоматизировать рутину и снизить риск ошибок при формировании счетов и чеков.

Сейчас много говорят о серверах стандарта MCP (протокол контекста модели). Идея проста: учим большие языковые модели (LLM) взаимодействовать с другими программными системами. В процессе такой работы LLM могут учиться и давать реальный эффект. Например, вызвать веб-сервер, чтобы позвонить по телефону, либо открыть инструмент для работы с интерфейсом командной строки (CLI) и добавить пункт в список продуктов в приложении-напоминалке для походов в магазин, и т.д. Чтобы выполнять такие операции, LLM должны знать, какие именно программы они вправе вызывать, и как это делать. Именно эту проблему и решает MCP: он сообщает LLM обо всех имеющихся в распоряжении программах, учит LLM ими пользоваться, а также прокладывает путь, по которому LLM может вызывать софт.
