В игровом движке Godot запретят приём изменений, сгенерированных при помощи AI Организация Godot Foundation анонсировала ужесточение правил приёма изменений в открытый игровой движок Godot. При разработке Godot решено полностью запретить использование автономных AI-агентов или вайб-кодинга, а также генерации значительных фрагментов кода при помощи AI. Весь код должен создаваться человеком, а использование AI допускается лишь для выполнения рутинных операций при разработке, таких как автодополнение кода и поиск/замена. В случае задействования AI при написании кода, требуется раскрытие этой информации в обсуждении pull-запроса. 👉@sysadminoff https://www.opennet.ru/opennews/art.shtml?num=65819

Альт Мобильный: поддержка 1+6(t) По многочисленным просьбам сообщества Альт Мобильный расширил список поддерживаемых устройств недорогими и доступными смартфонами на СнК Snapdragon 845: OnePlus 6 и OnePlus 6T. Работы по портированию завершились довольно быстро благодаря стараниям Василия Дойлова (neko@) — ментейнера пакетов и некоторых устройств для postmarketOS, участника команды ALT Gnome Development, который недавно начал прохождение Join в ALT Linux Team. Доступна детальная инструкция по установке. Основное отличие от других поддерживаемых устройств: необходимость инициализировать компоненты через поставляемую из коробки систему Android, иначе в ALT Mobile не смогут работать модем и некоторые другие составляющие. Подробнее в инструкции. Весь исходный код проекта открыт — от профиля сборки до пакетов, входящих в дистрибутив, а свой вклад может внести каждый, оставив предложение на Багзилле.

Система трассировки лучей, реализованная на языке SQL Алексей Миловидов, сооснователь СУБД ClickHouse, при содействии AI-ассистента Claude опубликовал систему трассировки лучей, реализованную целиком на языке SQL. Полноценно проект работоспособен при запуске в СУБД ClickHouse, но с отдельными ошибками и в 33 раза медленнее также может работать в СУБД CedarDB. Рендеринг с симуляцией освещения на базе трассировки путей реализован в виде одного SQL-запроса без пользовательских функций (UDF) и без подключения внешнего кода. Для вывода графики используется возможность СУБД ClickHouse, сохранять результат запросов в формате PNG.

Rising component costs trigger sharpest decline in US PC shipments since 2023 US PC shipments fell by 7% in the first quarter of 2026, marking the most significant market contraction in nearly three years. This downturn is primarily attributed to severe supply constraints and surging prices for DRAM and NAND flash memory components. Analysts note that the market is also experiencing a demand hangover following the aggressive hardware refresh cycle prompted by the end of Windows 10 support.
