По традиции здесь должна быть баннерная картинка, сгенерированная очередной нейросетью, но если уж я решил поделиться своими наблюдениями о том, что нейросетям не стоит доверять бездумно, начинать статью с этого было бы как минимум странно. Заодно глаза отдохнут.

Самая вычислительно прожорливая индустрия в истории считает на языке, который медленнее C примерно в 70 раз и занял 26-е место из 27 по энергоэффективности. Разбираемся, как Python стал королём ИИ, во сколько обходится его корона — в микросекундах, гигаватт-часах и удвоенном труде инженеров, — и почему новые территории (on-device, edge, локальный инференс) уже отвоёвывают компилируемые языки, в первую очередь Swift. С цифрами, ссылками на первоисточники и разбором честных контраргументов.

President Trump lauded America's storied history on Saturday night in a speech marking the 250th anniversary of its independence, while also praising his war in Iran, railing against "communists," and vowing to restrict mail-in ballots.

• Hosts take on Australia at Lord’s on Sunday

• Nat Sciver-Brunt’s side frustrated by singer’s stint

England have complained they are facing disruption to their World Cup final warm-up at Lord’s on Sunday from an unlikely source: the singer Rita Ora.

Ora is headlining the tournament closing ceremony, which lasts from 2.30pm to 3pm, with the final due to get under way half an hour later. It means that 30 minutes of pre-match warm-up time on the main square will be lost – although the players will have the Nursery Ground available to them throughout.

• Mercedes driver holds nerve with Leclerc a close second

• Russell fourth, with Norris and Piastri sixth and eighth

Much as Kimi Antonelli said he admired the British Grand Prix, its challenge and sporting spectacle, the Italian was in absolutely no mood to give a British driver so much as a sniff of a chance of enjoying a day in the sun as he swept to a majestic pole position for Sunday’s race.

Were will alone enough, the huge crowd at the old airfield would surely have powered Lewis Hamilton into the top spot, but their vocal support was not enough. Antonelli took his first pole here with the type of precision driving and commitment required on the high-speed blast that rewards drivers who can find the very edge. He did so with an authority and almost unconscious ease that unsurprisingly left his rivals a little deflated.

Morning Dew (Donk) reportedly conceived for Beyoncé’s second album B’Day, which will be reissued for its 20th anniversary in September

She popularised the shock drop in 2013 with the surprise release of her self-titled album. And on Saturday, Beyoncé did it again, dropping a new song out of the blue.

The singer released the new track, titled Morning Dew (Donk), on the Fourth of July holiday weekend. Reports say the track was initially intended for her second album, B’Day, released in 2006.

• Hundreds of fans greet the players, with many booing

• Increased security outside after Ecuador team disturbed

England received a hostile welcome as they arrived at their Mexico City hotel for Sunday’s World Cup last-16 tie against Mexico.

England had been hoping to keep their location undisclosed after Mexico supporters used loud speakers, horns and motorcycles to try to disturb the sleep of Ecuador’s players before their last-32 tie, which the co-hosts won 2-0 on Wednesday night.

Officials rescued seven other people after a sudden storm led to a boat sinking on Geneva Lake

Three children died after a boat capsized on Wisconsin’s Geneva Lake during inclement weather on the eve of the US’s semiquincentennial celebrations, and seven other people had to be rescued by emergency responders, according to officials.

A recreational motor boat with 10 passengers, including four children, sank on Friday afternoon as the boat “attempted to navigate to safety as weather conditions deteriorated” amid an intense, sudden storm, the city of Lake Geneva police department said in a statement.

Оптимизация потребления памяти в ML-библиотеке LANCETNIC

Недавно я столкнулся с проблемой: моя библиотека lancetnic при обучении на больших текстовых датасетах просто перегружала оперативную память. На ноутбуке с 16 ГБ RAM модель не могла обучиться даже на 25 тыс. строк. Я начал разбираться и нашёл пару причин критического перерасхода памяти.

Уверен, что многие, кто когда-либо играл в «Dark Messiah of Might and Magic», находятся в поиске чего-то похожего. Но, к сожалению, за двадцать (!) лет мы так и не получили игры, которая смогла бы приблизиться к «Тёмному Мессии». Что же в нём было такого особенного, и почему никто до сих пор не сумел повторить простую, на первый взгляд, формулу?

Привет! Началось всё с дурацкого вопроса. Я который месяц живу в Claude Code — ставлю задачи, ругаюсь, прошу переделать, снова ругаюсь. И тут до меня дошло: каждая моя реплика лежит на диске. Вообще каждая. Каждое «сделай», каждое «проверь», каждый капс в три часа ночи — всё это тихо копится в JSONL‑файлах в домашней папке. У меня таких логов набралось на 200 тысяч слов за полтора месяца. Это, на минуточку, две «Мастер и Маргариты».

И вот сижу я, смотрю на эту гору данных и думаю — а как я вообще выгляжу со стороны машины? Не «хороший я или плохой», а буквально: какими словами командую, в котором часу наиболее опасен, сколько раз прервал модель на полуслове. Досье же готовое. Осталось его вскрыть.

Так за сутки диалога родился Prompt Warrior — опенсорсный скилл для Claude Code и других харнесов, который превращает локальные логи сессий в геймифицированный психологический портрет: титул, уровень, 74 ачивки с редкостями как в Стиме, шесть шкал характера и биография, которую пишет сама нейросеть.

• Fiji 24-39 Wales

• Wales score six tries to secure second straight Test win

A rare away win for Wales. In Cardiff maybe, but the “visitors” claimed a classic smash-and-grab victory against hosts who, at times, played as if they came from a different hemisphere indeed, possibly even planet. How Fiji found themselves level at the break, let alone 15 down come the end, defies analysis, but Jac Morgan is one answer or at least the aptest representative of it.

Back on Wales’s flank, having missed most of the season through injury, Morgan scored two tries in the first half, but his defensive work was heroic throughout. Boy, it had to be.

A decade in the making, the 1976 bicentennial had a cathartic impact on the wounded national polity

• Americans: how do you feel about the country’s future after 250 years of independence?

It felt like a proper jamboree – a coming together of diverse peoples who thought they had something to celebrate. But the defining moment of the 1976 bicentennial, the US’s last epic birthday celebration, came two years before.

“My fellow Americans, our long national nightmare is over,” Gerald Ford declared in his presidential inauguration speech of 9 August 1974. “Our great republic is a government of laws and not of men.”

В последнее время все чаще попадаются статьи на тему сетевых технологий, от вдохновения захотелось что-нибудь смастерить. Выбор пал на приложение для мониторинга трафика на локальной машине – сколько отправили/получили и кому/от кого, писать будем на Rust.

Spread by parasitic worms that can infect via a splash of water, schistosomiasis causes debilitating symptoms. It hits kids hard. A board game teaches how to prevent it.
