We will write a bot like this one

Nowadays, anyone without programming skills can write a simple chatbot on their own. For example, to provide services via Telegram, organize a community's work, etc. Let's say, for tracking attendance in a classroom, for communicating in a building's group chat, or for downloading movies and music. And for a technical specialist, writing such a bot is a trivial task. In this article, we will discuss why chatbots are needed, how they can be used by businesses and individuals, and how to write a bot yourself, whether you have programming skills or not.

How to access Claude (web/api) from Russia in 2024?

Level of difficultyEasy

Accessing Claude from Russia might seem like a daunting task due to the service's regional restrictions. In this article, I will explain in detail how to register for the web version and API of Claude, what tools are needed to bypass the restrictions, and how to use the service safely in the future. This guide is based on personal experience and includes registration methods that are current as of late 2024 and have been tested in practice.

After searching Russian-language resources, I realized that there is very little practically useful information, or it might not account for changes in the service's operation. Ordinary users have to gather information piece by piece - from various YouTube videos, forums, or superficial articles.

Therefore, I decided to create an up-to-date guide based on my personal experience and knowledge, taking into account all the pitfalls that an inexperienced Claude user might encounter.

Programmers, sysadmins, DevOps engineers, and testers are often united by the use of some common technologies. For example, the ability to have remote access to a server would be useful to anyone in the aforementioned anecdotal company. Therefore, in this article, we will cover the basics of working with the SSH protocol at a fundamental level (without generating keys, signatures, moms, dads, and credits). We'll look at 'advanced' usage separately next time. This material was prepared by Max, the author of the YouTube channel PyLounge. Let's go!

Google Antigravity and Gemini 3 Pro: What's Really Changing in Development and Why It's Not a Cursor Killer

Level of difficultyEasy

On November 18, 2025, Google introduced a new combination: the Gemini 3 Pro model and the Google Antigravity IDE. The first is about controlled reasoning, long context, and multimodality. The second is about multi-agent development with artifacts and "transparent" steps. Headlines immediately flooded the feeds: "Cursor is dead.".

In this article, we break down what exactly Google has launched, why the words "the smartest model" are an exaggeration, how Antigravity differs from Cursor, which development scenarios are already changing, and where it's still too early to abandon your familiar stack.

Mandelbrot set. 24-bit TrueColor. 80-bit long double. OpenMP. Supersampling 8x8 (64 passes). Colors

The Mandelbrot set. And it's a program! I made it in g++, a freely distributable C++ compiler. Read it! Very interesting. Using OpenMP, you do parallel programming at the multithreading level. And I decided - this would be a completely different level of quality! I implemented honest supersampling (antialiasing) - with 8x8 antialiasing (64 passes per pixel!!!) That is, not 1920 by 1080 pixels, but 8x8 more! 15360 by 8640 pixels! And then these 64 passes reduce by one pixel, but smoothly - and no longer 8-bit, but 24-bit TrueColor!
