TL;DR. Из интереса обучил собственный русский RAG‑сплиттер — захотелось проверить, можно ли сделать context‑aware‑нарезку русских документов лучше готовых чанкеров.
Я взял идею датской context-aware-splitter, пересобрал её под русский на базе T-lite-it-2.1 и изменил главное: модель возвращает индексы границ, а не переписанный текст. Хост потом режет оригинал по этим индексам.

On Saturday night, roughly 850,000 fireworks will light up the sky above the nation’s capital for a 40-minute pyrotechnic display ––what could be the largest show in history.
The event is positioned as the acme of President Donald Trump’s celebrations of the country’s 250th birthday, which have included a White House-hosted Ultimate Fighting Championship match, a “Great American State Fair” adorning the National Mall, countless military fly-overs, and live performances.
"To conclude the program, and commemorate this Historic Occasion, I will be launching, what will be, the LARGEST FIREWORKS SHOW IN HISTORY, right here in our Nation's Capital," Trump said in a Truth Social post from June 15.
Trump himself is expected to deliver remarks on Saturday night to mark the holiday.
The show was originally scheduled just before 10 p.m., E.T., but has since been pushed back to accommodate for Trump’s speech.
Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser said to reporters on Monday that the show will occur around 11 p.m.
Here’s how you can tune in and watch the fireworks display tonight.
Several broadcast networks have also announced they will be hosting special coverage of the fireworks show, and the events leading up to it, including CBS, CNN, and FOX.
You can also watch the event for free through C-Span, which will broadcast Trump’s speech and the fireworks show, as well as offer a livestream online.
Monument Cam will stream a “bird’s eye view” of the fireworks from the top of the Washington Monument.
The website says that the stream will also begin at 10:30 p.m.
Freedom 250, the national organization created by Trump coordinating the event, will host a live-stream of the show.
The event’s website says the show will begin at 10:30 p.m.
В настоящее время, когда бум клинической ностальгии по донди и сежке еще не отгремел, уже подрастает новое поколение ретрогеймеров, для которых 90-е прочно ассоциируются с первой плойкой. Вышла околодокументальная книга "PlayStation. Игра против правил" Ильи Воронина, где досконально разобраны причины зарождения еще одного игрока на консольном ТВД, вклад в это всем известной конторы Нинтендо, а также, оглушительный успех Сони на новом поприще и завоевание короны лидера на рынке видеоигр (наверное, не дочитал еще). Всю шедевральность плейстейшена можно прочувствовать даже не читая книгу, просто потрогав эти потрясающие выпуклые кнопочки на обложке. И где такие книжки по Сатурну?
Но если Сони победила, и ее первая игровая консоль буквально уничтожила конкурентов, что же такое пишет автор данного опуса, на чем основывает свое мнение и что за легкое жжение ощущается при вдумчивом прочтении заголовка? Обо всем этом я расскажу чуть ниже! С позиций ретрогейминга)

Ganna second for Ineos; Pogacar third for Emirates
Jonas Vingegaard stunned Tadej Pogacar, the defending champion, by taking the first yellow jersey of the 2026 Tour de France after his Visma-Lease a Bike team won the opening stage of this year’s race, a 19.6km team time trial in Barcelona.
Two years after a life-threatening crash, Vingegaard, who won this year’s Giro d’Italia, looks back to his best. “It feels amazing to have the yellow jersey again,” said the Dane, the Tour champion in 2022 and 2023. “It’s been three years and it’s one of the most beautiful jerseys in cycling. It’s the perfect start for our race.”

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi was both headline act and bit-part player on a chill, windswept Manchester afternoon. He made his hotly anticipated debut to become, at 15 years and 99 days, the youngest Indian men’s international and the second youngest in all formats and from all full member nations.
But it was England’s youngest player, even if Jacob Bethell is a comparative veteran at 22 – “It feels weird to say I’m playing against someone seven years younger than me,” he said – who decided the match and in effect did so in the space of a single Ravi Bishnoi over.

Springboks run in seven tries in one-sided contest
What a fabulous occasion this was, a thunderous way to kick off the new-look Nations Championship. Anyone stumbling across the sport for the first time would have been truly staggered by the commitment of both teams, not to mention the spine-tingling pre-match rendition of Nkosi Sikelel’ iAfrika. This was top-drawer sporting theatre in the spiritual home of South African rugby.
But when the smoke finally cleared on a cool, still Highveld evening there was a clear winner. Even though the world champion Springboks were missing a clutch of influential forwards they were still way too strong for gallant but outgunned opponents. From 17-0 down after just 12 minutes England showed huge resolve to battle their way back to 17-14 at half-time but, having been reduced to 13 men late on, the upstart visitors had been put firmly back in their place.

Nobody is more qualified than Thierry Henry to talk about finishing, so it was worth paying attention to the former France striker’s analysis of Harry Kane’s second goal against the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
“Striking with the inside of the foot, almost wrapping the ball while the body is off-balance, you have to maintain balance at the crucial moment to take the shot,” Henry said on Fox after the game. “Do you know how hard it is to generate power then? At the end of the game? To redirect it like that? If I did that now, I’d break my back.”

They couldn’t, could they? They almost did. Fair play, Gianni Infantino, adding an extra knockout round has proved a worthy addition to the Geopolitics World Cup. Sure, the group stage occasionally dragged like a wet Sunday in February, with attendant Scottish and South Korean tears, and Uruguayan rage, but jeopardy is king content. And “the 32” signed off with an all-time classic that went close to delivering the greatest shock of all shocks.

Мы создаем софт для горно-геологических служб калийных рудников. Наши геологи и маркшейдеры каждый день превращают тысячи скважинных проб в карты: отметки кровли пласта, содержания KCl, мощности, газоопасность. Классический инструмент для этого - кригинг, и в QGIS он формально есть: SAGA, GRASS, Smart-Map, связки со SciPy. На практике же каждый вариант чем-то не устраивал, и год назад я начал писать свой плагин. Сейчас Isoliner - это 24 инструмента в официальном репозитории plugins.qgis.org: кригинг четырёх видов, вариограммный анализ, кросс-валидация с отчётами, изолинии с контурными полигонами, геологические разрезы и собственный 3D-просмотр. Вычислительное ядро - чистый NumPy, ни одной внешней зависимости.
Под катом - зачем понадобился ещё один кригинг, как выглядит система кригинга в двадцати строках NumPy, что такое вариограмма на пальцах и почему абсолютные единицы силла — главные грабли всех, кто впервые открывает такие инструменты.

После появления ChatGPT и массового распространения GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf и других AI-инструментов разработка стала заметно быстрее. Код, тесты, README, комментарии и небольшие utility-функции теперь можно получить за секунды.
Но вместе с этим появился менее очевидный вопрос: если миллионы разработчиков используют похожие модели и похожие промпты, не становится ли открытый код более однообразным?
В этой статье я проверяю эту гипотезу на данных GitHub за 2019-2025 годы: через GH Archive, BigQuery, commit messages, README, имена функций и собственный GitHub Uniformity Index.
К исследованию
При самых низких температурах во Вселенной материя начинает вести себя странно. Когда атомы охлаждаются до температуры чуть выше абсолютного нуля, они начинают проводить электричество без сопротивления, превращаться в облака «суперчастиц» или течь без трения и подниматься по стенкам сосудов.
Существование на самых мелких и холодных масштабах подчиняется законам квантовой статистики, которая определяет поведение бозонов и фермионов — двух семейств фундаментальных частиц, из которых, как считается, состоит всё во Вселенной.
Бозоны — это частицы, переносящие взаимодействия, такие как фотоны или бозон Хиггса. Множество таких частиц может занимать одно и то же квантовое состояние, а это означает, что неограниченное количество бозонов может «перекрываться» друг с другом и вести себя как когерентные волны.

A leading vendor of the US delicacy that is the pickle has withdrawn from the Great American State Fair in Washington DC after North Carolina’s booth displayed a video containing a Confederate flag.
The Mt Olive Pickle Company, which is located in eastern North Carolina and bills itself as the “#1 bestselling brand of pickles, peppers and relishes in the US”, told local news station WNCT it had been unaware that an image of the flag would be included in a video as part of the state’s exhibit.

The first American-born Pope marked his home country's 250th birthday by urging it to continue its tradition of "welcoming, protecting and assisting immigrants."
Pope Leo commemorated America’s Independence Day with a letter and a visit to the Italian island of Lampedusa––a gateway for migrants crossing the Mediterranean to European sanctuaries.
In the letter, titled “Letter of his Holiness Pope Leo XIV on the 250th Anniversary of the Founding of the United States of America,” the Chicago native cited the “God-given dignity of every human life,” asserting that each person is “endowed with an inherent worth that calls for reverence, protection and care,” which calls for “safeguarding human life.”
“Defending human life,” Leo added, “also includes welcoming, protecting and assisting immigrants, whose hopes, sacrifices and contribution have formed part of the history of this country from its very beginning.”
Since his appointment in May of last year, Leo has been a vocal advocate of migrant rights, and a persistent critic of the Trump Administration’s immigration crackdown, which he has called “inhumane.”
He continued that effort in his July 4th letter, saying that to welcome “those who have arrived seeking freedom, opportunity and a place to belong … is not only an act of charity, but also a recognition of the dignity that belongs to every human person.”
Leo also used the letter to praise America’s longstanding encouragement of “religious freedom,” describing it as “central to the American promise, protecting both individual dignity and the peaceful coexistence of a diverse people.” The Trump Administration has recently undermined that sentiment, elevating officials who have challenged the longstanding idea of a separation of church and state.
In addition to his letter, Leo gave a speech on Saturday in Lampedusa in which he made a similar appeal to European leaders to address immigration "in a comprehensive manner, integrating immediate relief efforts into a long-term strategic plan capable of receiving, protecting, supporting and integrating migrants."
The Vatican announced in February that Leo would spend the Fourth of July on the island, Italy’s southernmost port, where thousands of migrants each year stop on their perilous and often deadly expedition across the Mediterranean and north to European countries.
Many migrants gathered on Saturday to hear the pontiff, who also called on European leaders to improve conditions in the countries immigrants come from to reduce migration.
Leo’s Saturday pleas to European and American leaders are not unprecedented.
In May of last year, Leo said the dignity of migrants must be respected, speaking to world diplomats and invoking his own immigrant background. "My own story is that of a citizen, the descendant of immigrants, who in turn chose to emigrate," he said before ambassadors at the Vatican.
Then in October, while meeting with migrant advocates visiting the Vatican from the U.S., Leo was moved to tears after viewing videos of people expressing their fear over Trump’s deportation campaign, according Dylan Corbett, an executive director of the Hope Border Institute, who was part of the visiting U.S. delegation and spoke to TIME.
As Trump was cracking down on Chicago’s immigrant community, Leo also met with union leaders in his home town and urged them to stick up for those most vulnerable populations in the city.
“While recognizing that appropriate policies are necessary to keep communities safe, I encourage you to continue to advocate for society to respect the human dignity of the most vulnerable,” Leo said to the union leaders.
While many of Leo’s comments have not specifically targeted Trump, he has at times directly responded to the President’s attacks. In June, after Trump called Leo “WEAK on Crime” and “terrible for Foreign Policy” in response to the Catholic Church criticizing the U.S.-Israel war with Iran, Leo said that he had “no fear of the Trump Administration, or of speaking out loudly about the message of the Gospel.”
