My name is Paul Karol and I work as a director in a Russian IT company that mostly sells their products in the international market.

I have been deeply involved in a project and I haven’t had time to write here lately.  

But out of this work came an understanding of two very large Mistakes that are being made that prevent your pre-sales from succeeding. 

I’m going to go into deeper detail on each one of these issues in the next articles, but I will introduce them here now.

Let me make you a promise….. if you correct these two issues, your software and development projects will sell.  

**I have a proven track record. If these areas are fixed the company begins to sell 150 % more than they’ve ever sold in the past. 

150% more profits! 

Hey! My name's Kirill Ziborov and I'm a member of the Distributed System Security team at Positive Technologies. In this article, I'll be continuing the discussion of methods and tools for the formal verification of smart contracts and their practical application to prevent vulnerabilities. The main focus will be on the deductive verification method, or more precisely, the ConCert framework for testing and verifying smart contracts.

Google has launched an exciting new feature called "Gems" within its Gemini platform. This feature allows users to create personalized AI chatbots tailored to their needs. Let’s explore what Google Gem is.

ChatGPT-4, the latest model from OpenAI, boasts impressive capabilities like text generation, question answering, problem-solving, coding, and even image analysis. However, accessing it requires a $20 monthly subscription on OpenAI's website. For residents of certain countries, accessing the service poses additional challenges due to restrictions, necessitating the use of foreign payment methods and VPNs.

We've created a list of the top-4 services that offer completely free access to ChatGPT-4. This article will delve into the advantages and limitations of each option, comparing them side-by-side.

Hey there! I'm excited to dive into an exciting topic today — how AI can help us create more effective prompts. Did you know that AI-generated prompts can be 30% more effective than those crafted by humans? Let's explore how we can harness this power to simplify prompt engineering and make our interactions with AI more efficient.

Hello everyone, this is Denis Weber.

Heroes 3 is one of my favorite games from my childhood. I can call it the king of turn-based strategy games. Once again, while playing Heroes, I thought about what a castle from a game could look like in 3D, but all I had was a low quality screenshot.

If you prefer the video format, I will leave a link to the video at the end of the post.

I'm excited to tell you about Meta's Llama 3.1, a powerful AI language model you can use for free. In this article, I'll show you how to install and run Llama 3.1 on your computer. This means you can use it without the internet and save money on AI costs.

This week is crazy for AI news! OpenAI will launch SearchGPT, which could replace traditional search engines like Google and even Perplexity AI.

Radar technology is crucial to modern weather forecasting, providing real-time data on precipitation, storm intensity, and atmospheric patterns. This article explores how radar works, its applications in meteorology, and its impact on improving weather predictions.

Hey there! It's exciting to see how AI changes how we work and create stuff. I've been trying out many new AI tools recently, and I want to share my favorite picks for June 2024. These tools are amazing and could help you whether you're making content, running a business, or just curious about AI.

In this article, I want to showcase AI tools for creating summaries from YouTube videos. These AI tools can quickly summarize a video's content so you don't have to watch the entire thing. I'll demonstrate how to use these AIs to rapidly extract the main points from videos.

We are requesting 20,000,000 euro to place 900 orders on the exchange. What could go wrong?

Today, I will explain how to avoid losing billions in client money when executing large transactions on the exchange. This discussion focuses on an often overlooked and largely invisible problem that arises when handling large requests, particularly HTTP requests, which may not be fully executed. It's surprising how little attention is given to this issue and how few tools there are to address it.

Our task was to implement large-scale management of exchange orders, not just within a single exchange but globally, and to ensure it operates reliably. In this story, you'll encounter clients, servers, and cats. Stories are always more enjoyable with cats.

We wrote this article in an attempt to figure out what technical level gas turbine installations are currently at, as well as to understand what the prospects for their development are. At the same time, in our manuscript, we tried to consider an alternative energy conversion scheme that will increase energy efficiency, which will allow for more efficient use of natural resources. We are not completely sure that the alternative scheme presented by us will be workable, since many factors that may affect its operation have not yet been investigated. But as the Chinese philosopher said, "you can't travel a thousand li without taking the first step." We ask the Habr community to read our article, we hope for a constructive conversation.

Do you want to know how to build an AI image analyzer? Then read this article till the end! I'm going to show you how to build AI analyzer tools really simply, so you almost don't have to have any prior knowledge. I will take you step by step, and we will use Project IDX and the Gemini API. This means you don't have to set up anything; everything we will do is on the cloud. If you're ready, then let's get started!

Creation of a UX design for a software product is an ongoing process: it doesn’t stop after the product is released. In order for an app or a website to always remain comfortable to use while corresponding to the constantly changing trends, its UX design must be improved from time to time, and in some cases even rethinked and radically changed. An outdated, old-fashioned design with unimproved bugs will definitely spoil user experience and lead to loss of audience. Design improvements include not only bug fixing and “brushing up” the facade of a product, but also constant research and implementation of new ideas that can contribute to its growth. Let’s discuss a few simple steps that can improve the UX design of any product. 

Recently, there has been a lot of talk about the success of artificial intelligence (AI), although this usually means another achievement in the field of generative neural networks.

And few people, speaking about AI, try to explain what they themselves understand by the term “artificial intelligence.” After all, it’s one thing to write about “AI problems,” and quite another to endow an ordinary computer algorithm with at least the rudiments of intelligence.

After all, the etymology of the established phrase “artificial intelligence” is not unambiguous and can take on different meanings depending on what meaning the author is trying to put into it.

Quantum computers have gradually migrated from “natural” quantum objects like ions and quantum dots to “artificial” objects like transmons, where natural frequencies of LC circuit mimic energy levels. Coaxial cables attached to such circuits excite the system, read their state, and adjust their properties. They are still quantum objects and operate at low temperatures.

I wondered if a similar system can be built with large “classical” mechanical objects. Here I demonstrate 2 -qubit quantum computer built of coupled pendulums.

Gowin has clear advantages over Xilinx in the educational FPGA board market: Gowin boards are several times less expensive, the synthesis speed is several times faster, and the EDA package is two orders of magnitude smaller: we are talking about 1G versus 100G disk space. Of course, Xilinx is still the king of high-end prototyping boards that cost $10K-100K, but for the students such boards are irrelevant; such boards are for ASIC design companies. A beginning EE student needs a board for less than $100, and Gowin not only fits the bill but also covers all the needs, specifically:

In this article, I want to introduce you to something truly amazing—Perplexity AI. This AI tool has incredible potential, and I believe it can be a game-changer for many of you. I'll walk you through how to use Perplexity AI and highlight some of its great features.

In this article, we are going to do something really cool: we will build a chatbot using Python and the Gemini API. This will be a web-based assistant and could be the beginning of your own AI project. It's beginner-friendly, and I will guide you through it step-by-step. By the end, you'll have your own AI assistant!
