Quality risk assessment is an art and science that can turn a good team into a great one.

Iaroslav Gerasimov is the Senior QA Automation Engineer at Innovecs. He conducts internal lectures for colleagues interested in learning more about the QA process or diving deeper into quality testing metrics. This article is a summary of that lecture.

Nexo and Sphere partner to revolutionize cross-border business payments with blockchain, cutting settlement times from days to hours while reducing costs and improving liquidity.

Data migration isn’t just about moving data from one system to another. It’s about preserving business continuity.

Overload occurs when a system receives more work than it can efficiently process. This can lead to increased latency, degraded throughput, and eventual system failure. To mitigate these issues, load shedding is a vital technique that is often missed.

Managing digital assets in large scale cloud ecosystems is a pressing challenge. Organizations accumulate millions of assets, databases, virtual machines, logs, models each needing proper ownership tracking for security, compliance, and cost optimization. Traditional methods like manual tagging, role-based access control (RBAC), and static access logs are inefficient, outdated, and prone to security breaches.

Brazil’s financial landscape is unique. At the moment the interest rates is higher than should be due inflation. Despite these dynamics, millions of Brazilians lack access to financial education.

I needed to come up with an approach that would allow me to use logic from one project to another.

Developers run sprints, Product Managers run the marathon. Scrum works—if used wisely and without losing sight of the human side.

Swarm is an open-source platform for group exhibitions designed for designers, artists, and visual creators. It allows exhibitors to independently register, create, and publish project pages while administrators maintain complete control. Powered by Kirby CMS, it requires no database, is fully customisable, and keeps the focus on the work. With a demo and video tutorial available, launching an exhibition website has never been easier.

Properly evaluating network security solutions is critical to mitigating risks, optimizing costs, and ensuring scalability. Define objectives, conduct thorough research, and evaluate technical and vendor capabilities. Key steps include a Proof of Concept, integration testing, and cost analysis. Top tools like Fortinet, Check Point, and Palo Alto Networks ensure robust protection and operational efficiency.

Data visualization is still numbers, but easier to understand. Numbers shown as visuals help you immediately spot patterns, outliers, or even potential issues before they snowball. Digital signage software like Kitcast can pull information from web services and push it to screens in any visual format.

Migration projects are inherently hard because they meet an existing bar on availability, scale, latency, and customer experience. The most boring part is that existing customers are not supposed to know that you replaced an underlying system or code base.

This review challenges the idea that LLMs are mere linguistic mimics, presenting evidence of their advanced capabilities. However, fully understanding their learning processes and internal mechanisms remains an open challenge. Future research must empirically investigate how LLMs represent language and the world they describe.

Being a great conversationalist requires a combination of mindset and methods. Here, I will cover how to *steal* a conversation while appearing magnanimous. I will also apply economic concepts to increase the attention people show you.

Humans advance knowledge through cultural transmission, a process AI may partially emulate. While LLMs demonstrate task generalization, their ability to explain, contextualize, and contribute to cumulative learning remains limited. Future advancements in AI reasoning and communication could determine whether they meaningfully participate in cultural knowledge progression.

Traditional hashing techniques like perceptual hashing (pHash) and locality-sensitive hashing (LSH) are widely used for image similarity detection. Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) provide a more robust alternative by modeling image relationships as a graph and propagating similarity information through message passing.

In the heart of the Mediterranean, Kalamos Island faces the challenges that often come with remote living—access to efficient micro-mobility and healthcare.

Dexaran, author of ERC-223 and head of Ethereum Commonwealth, has looked deeper into the attack itself and revealed that the defense mechanism wasn't really that robust, and that someone inside Bybit could conceivably be involved in the hack.

Leo Ovdiienko, COO & Co-founder of Storyby, explores AI’s role in content creation and why production studios should embrace it rather than resist it.

Researchers created a new s1 model based on Alibaba’s Qwen2.5 and paid $50 for tokens to Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking (free with limits) 16 NVIDIA H100 GPUs, and in 26 minutes got a competitor to the o1-preview model that answers math questions 27% better. This research challenges the notion that state-of-the-art AI requires billion-dollar training pipelines.
