We attended a Deep Tech Night to listen to lectures about the challenges in the IT sector during the AI era. Former Google top executive Mo Gawdat spoke about what AI development looks like in practice today.
He illustrated this with his app, Emma. Mo rewrote the code eight times and completely changed the architecture three timesβthis is his main argument against vibe coding. The team started coding without fully understanding what they were building. As a result, the MVP took 4 minutes to create, while the final product took 14 months.
In his talk on the Yandex for Developers channel, he provides a detailed account of these mistakes, the memory of agents, and the choice between a model costing $1 and one costing $60 per month.

The price of secondary housing in Moscow has risen sharply: in just one month, the average price per square meter has increased by 5.4%, now totaling β½598,000.
In St. Petersburg, prices rose by 4.7% in August, and in Yekaterinburg, they increased by 3.4%. All figures for the top 10 regions with rising prices can be found in the image.
This surge is attributed to demand: secondary housing is currently, on average, 20% cheaper than new constructions.

Hackers breached OpenAI using... Claude. The Hacktron team took just 72 hours to discover two critical vulnerabilities.
One of the vulnerabilities was related to image processing, while the other involved authorization in the internal system. As a result, the hackers managed to access several ChatGPT accounts, one of which belonged to an OpenAI employee.
This employee was connected to the company's internal GitHub. To illustrate the level of vulnerability: they were able to make changes to the repository.
On the positive side, these were white hat hackers. They alerted OpenAI about the issue and even received a reward of $6,500.

Anthropic has opened its own biology lab: Claude will manage robots, conduct experiments, and possibly even develop medications.
Anthropic themselves state that drug development is not their primary goal. The company plans to address global issues that modern pharmaceuticals "ignore."
There is already a theory circulating online that Claude will focus on combating aging.

GPT-6 Astra decoded a German radio message from World War II. In just 10 hours, it cracked a cipher that had remained unsolved for 83 years.
The message was encrypted by a German soldier on July 10, 1941, using an Enigma machine. It contained a request to indicate his further route from Rosenau.
The model delved into archives and found a previously decoded message from the same day and with the same city name. Then, it wrote code for cryptanalysis and arrived at the decoded sequence.
In the end, Astra even created a project website where you can read about the decoding history and interact with a 3D Enigma simulator.

A beautiful sight: a pilot from the USA created an outline of the Mona Lisa in the sky, flying a route shaped like her silhouette in a small Cessna Skylane RG.
He spent 3 hours and 47 minutes in the air to recreate Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece. Approximately 70,000 users watched the flight in real time.
This is even cooler than the drawings made after runs on Strava.

Mark Gurman, the insider known for his accurate leaks about Apple, has stated that it's not worth buying the iPhone 18 Pro if you already have a previous model.
According to his comments, there are currently many enthusiastic reviews about the new iPhone from bloggers on social media. However, the issue is that they were all "bought" through barter deals.
He does not specify what exactly the problem with the iPhone 18 Pro is, suggesting that the updates may be too minor.

A comprehensive collection of tools, demos, and ready-made projects for working with Jevβa new model from a former OpenAI employeeβhas been compiled online.
There are tools for Claude Code and Codex, useful guides, and even games. However, Jev excels in agent scenarios, so the collection also includes agents for macOS, Android, and browsers.
Everything has been gathered in one project on GitHub. You can check it out here.

The iPhone 18 Pro has been rated as repairable at 7 out of 10. iFixit has traditionally taken apart the new Apple smartphone for parts.
Key issues:
- The plastic frame under the display. In almost all cases, it cracked when the display was removed β simply applying fresh glue is not enough; a new frame needs to be installed.
- Variable aperture. This significantly increases repair costs: if the mechanism breaks, the entire module will need to be replaced.
Repairs are possible, but it's best not to break the camera.
