Мои переводы сломали CI репозитория Mastodon :blobcat_flop_woozy:
Я попытаюсь донести до разработчиков, почему так трудно склонять имена, что проще их вообще убрать.
Задача со звёздочкой — объяснить формы множественного числа, и почему 1 и 21 склоняются одинаково.
Задача олимпиадного уровня — объяснить, почему глаголы в мужском, женском и среднем роде спрягаются по-разному

"Solar-thermal interfacial desalination is a sustainable solution to meet the ever-increasing global freshwater demand. [...] pull a thin water film uphill across its surface, absorb nearly all solar radiation, and most importantly, automatically move the crystalized salts from the active regions to the passive regions for self-cleaning and salt collection. [...] simultaneously produces fresh water and harnesses nearly all salts directly from ocean water."

Additive-free and brine-discharge-free solar-thermal desalination with simultaneous complete mineral mining from ocean water - Light: Science & Applications
Solar-thermal interfacial desalination is a sustainable solution to meet the ever-increasing global freshwater demand. However, when treating actual ocean water, salt accumulation on the evaporator surfaces and brine discharge are major issues limiting the performance and posing environmental concerns. By utilizing a femtosecond laser surface processing technique, we create a multi-functional superwicking black metal (SWBM) panel that can pull a thin water film uphill across its surface, absorb…

The state of #Python ecosystem right now: almost everything is slop. Some projects are complete vibe-coded slop (autobahn, chardet, cryptography). Some projects are disguised slop ("Coding agents shouldn't co-author themselves.")
There is only a handful of human projects left (Flask being one bright example). And they're being killed. They're being killed by the neverending slew of slop pull requests. They're being killed by all their dependencies becoming slop. They're being killed because this whole ecosystem has became such a complete cesspit that you have zero motivation to do anything.
EDIT: and honestly, this is only going to get worse. When you kill the incentive to work on projects, you only get more slop. Maintainers give in, and more projects become slop. Or they give up, and projects get forked unto slop.

Haitian man who died in ICE custody had severe dental issues, autopsy shows https://cowboyswire.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/immigration/2026/07/03/haitian-migrant-emmanuel-damas-autopsy/90787530007/

John Oliver pulls no punches (as usual) on AI chatbots.
There is no just world in which these murderous Autocomplete scripts should be allowed to exist.

Ich bin Kind der 1970er und Teen der 1980er. Meine Eltern haben mir ganz ohne Klimaerwärmung mitgegeben, schonend mit meiner Umwelt umzugehen: Licht aus, wenn man als letzter ein Zimmer verlässt. Nahrungsmittel kreativ verarbeiten anstatt weg werfen. Im Winter reichen 20°C im Haus, wenn dir kalt ist, zieh' einen Pulli an. Gehe sorgsam mit Wasser um, kann man einfach abdrehen während man sich einseift oder die Zähne putzt. Auto braucht kein Vollgas.
Ich gestalte mein Leben bis heute…

Listening to this week’s Snap Judgment
The main story is about a kid in ND who had his family’s Honda Pilot go crazy on him and drive fast (130mph!) and deep into MN. The only thing that got him stopped was a cop pulling in front of him in a try at braking 2 cars with one set of brakes. Luckily, the Pilot had collision avoidance automatic brakes and they worked.
I highly recommend a listen.

Did you know that you can use #PyTest 's plugin manager instance to check whether a particular plugin was loaded? You might have known that.
And did you know that pytest plugins have no "canonical" name, and every plugin's name is literally whatever was passed while it was registered? So if a plugin was autoloaded, it's its entry point name. If it was loaded via `-p` or `PYTEST_PLUGINS`, it's whatever the argument was (i.e. entry point name in the first case, object reference in the second one). And if it was loaded via an explicit call to plugin loader, then it was whatever you passed to the plugin loader.

I fear we’re watching multiple generations to give up any kind of ambition to improve at whatever craft can be automated mediocrely by LLMs.
Repeatedly pulling the prompt lever will never end in excellence. ESPECIALLY if the boosters are right, “prompting” is not a long-term valuable skill.
LLMs _can_ be used as skill multipliers but it’s up to YOU whether you choose to use them as a leverage for your own capabilities or whether you deskill yourself into a helpless slop slinger.
