BCC HUB Tech Radar опубликован - первый в своём роде в Центральной Азии.
Совместно с Павлом Стручалиным, IT-архитекторами Бахытжаном Карабалиным и Николаем Кочубашевым мы организовали онлайн опрос всех технических командам компании и собрали их в единую карту.
BCC HUB Tech Radar отражает наш реальный инженерный стек - языки, фреймворки, платформы, инструменты - распределённые по классическим кольцам Adopt / Trial / Assess / Hold. Go, Kotlin, Spring Boot, Kubernetes, Kafka, gRPC, Testcontainers, FastAPI и многоедругое.
Это живая карта того, что мы внедряем (Adopt), тестируем (Trial), изучаем (Assess) и откладываем (Hold) - общий ориентир для инженерных команд и прозрачный взгляд для партнёров и техно-комьюнити на то, как BCC HUB строит технологии в масштабе.

ICPC Online Challenge powered by Huawei
A new online optimization challenge from ICPC and Huawei is coming this August.
The challenge focuses on a real-world AI infrastructure problem: Scheduling Algorithm for Collaborative Inference System. This is essentially an optimization problem inspired by real-world LLM serving and AI infrastructure.
Challenge dates
📅 Start: August 14, 2026 — 11:00 UTC
📅 Finish: August 28, 2026 — 10:59 UTC
Prizes
🥇 Rank 1 — €12,000 + travel and invitation to the 50th ICPC World Finals as a guest
🥈 Ranks 2–6 — €8,000
🥉 Ranks 7–16 — €3,000
Ranks 17–50 — €800
An interesting bonus: AI tools, including generative AI and AI-assisted coding tools, are explicitly permitted during the challenge. Participants remain responsible for the correctness and originality of their submissions.

ICPC Challenge powered by Huawei
We are happy to invite you to an exciting online event: ICPC Online Challenge powered by Huawei.
Waymo’s first autonomous demo took eighteen months. The product took fifteen years. Today, the Waymo Driver runs 500,000 trips a week — four million fully autonomous miles across fifteen cities, with 17 times fewer serious-injury crashes than human drivers.
At Startup School 2026, Waymo co-CEO Dmitri Dolgov shares the seven lessons behind that journey, from bridging the gap between a demo and a real product to building systems that can safely operate in the physical world.

Walking wakes up your brain 🧠
1. Increases blood & oxygen flow: Physical movement immediately boosts circulation, delivering a fresh supply of oxygen and glucose to your brain for instant mental clarity.
2. Triggers neurotransmitter release: Walking prompts your brain to release dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins, which sharpen focus, elevate mood, and reduce stress.
3. Stimulates neuroplasticity (BDNF): It triggers the release of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), a protein that protects neurons, promotes new cell growth, and improves memory.

Изучил вебинар "Биометрическая идентификация человека, её виды, основные методы и проблемы" by girafe.ai спикером был Иван Соломатин - ведущий инженер Samsung Electronics (с 10+ лет опытом в production Biometric systems development);
Выделил тут полезные слайды.
+ Есть видео разбор от Veritasium по надежности бимотрических методов для криминалистики (интересное видео): https://youtu.be/mvcesPWvUIc?si=hIyyuvMB0tdeaiIT

Биометрические системы — это комплексы программ и устройств, которые узнают человека по его уникальным физическим или поведенческим признакам (лицо, отпечатки пальцев, радужки глаз) для точной проверки личности и защиты доступа.

Встречаемся 13 августа в Almaty Hub, чтобы провести целый день в Сloud Native: от практической миграции виртуальных машин до технических докладов, живых обсуждений и after-party. Публикуем программу с таймингом.
10:00 — практический воркшопВместе с Тимуром Тукаевым, COO Aenix и одним из создателей Cozystack, разберём переход от классической виртуализации к cloud native private cloud: перенесём виртуальную машину в KubeVirt и посмотрим, как работают Kubernetes, LINSTOR, Cilium и другие open-source компоненты.
13:00 — обедПосле обеда 5 технических докладов — реальные кейсы и инженерные решения:
14:00 — «Как скрыть control plane k8s и что это дает»14:40 — «Защита Kubernetes-кластера с помощью Kubescape»15:20 — «За пределами одного кластера: Istio Multi-Cluster между AWS-аккаунтами»16:00 — «Longhorn: когда Ceph слишком тяжёл, а local storage уже не хватает»16:40 — «Kubernetes как Linux Kernel: какое будущее ждет самый популярный оркестратор»А после — after-party и общение с теми, кто каждый день строит, ломает, масштабирует и чинит инфраструктуру.
Ждем всех в Almaty Hub 13 августа в 10:00. Мероприятие проходит при поддержке команды Astana Hub — благодаря их экосистеме митапы возможны!

Over-refusal and Under-refusal represent the dual failure modes of safety alignment in large language models (LLMs) and vision-language models (VLMs).
#ai_safety #notes
Over-refusal occurs when a model rejects harmless queries due to false-positive trigger words, whereas
Under-refusal happens when a model fails to block malicious or jailbroken requests.
