Ензимната революция: Как инженерството на природните катализатори преобразява медицината, храните и планетата

Глобалният пазар за индустриални ензими беше около 9 милиарда долара през 2019 г. и се очаква да достигне 13,8 милиарда долара до 2027 г. Сайт-насочената мутагенеза, изобретена през 70-те години на XX век от Майкъл Смит, позволява прецизни промени на единични аминокиселини

  • Cloudflare's Content Independence Day: AI Bot Blocks Trigger Outages and a Debate Over Web Control
    December 9, 2025, 3:08 AM EST. Cloudflare's new policy, dubbed Content Independence Day, has blocked hundreds of billions of AI bot requests and sparked widespread outages. The move aims to protect creators and publishers from unauthorized scraping, but critics say it risks destabilizing the web and hampering innovation. As Cloudflare's central role in internet infrastructure becomes clearer, even small policy shifts can ripple across services, triggering outages and eroding trust. The clash over who controls content and who benefits from automated aggregation is intensifying, with many scrambling to adapt. Proponents argue the measure restores value to original works; opponents warn timing is disastrous and could undermine reliability. The crisis tests Cloudflare's balance between security, access, and growth as the world watches whether the company sustains the global web or becomes a point of vulnerability.
  • iPhone Privacy Dot Explained: What the Black Indicator Means and How to Manage It
    December 9, 2025, 3:06 AM EST. The iPhone's black privacy dot (orange or green center) signals when an app is using your camera or microphone. A green dot means the camera is active; an orange dot means the microphone is active. To see which app is responsible, open Control Center from the top-right; it lists the active apps and their sensor usage. If you didn't expect activity, close the app or force-quit it to remove the dot; it will reappear when an app reuses a sensor. To limit access, go to Settings → Privacy & Security → Camera or Microphone and revoke permissions for specific apps. The indicator is deliberate, designed to keep you informed and protect your privacy.
  • Samsung One UI 8.5 brings Clock on Now Bar and redesigned Voice Recorder
    December 9, 2025, 2:56 AM EST. Samsung's upcoming One UI 8.5 is expected to expand the Now Bar by adding the stock Clock app to the lock screen card, letting users view the current time and next alarm and dismiss alarms directly from the lock screen. The feature complements the Now Bar's live updates from apps on the Always-On Display. In addition, the Voice Recorder has a refreshed UI with gradients and a card-centric recording list, improving aesthetics but trading off some information density for heavy users with many recordings. A beta of One UI 8.5 is rolling out today, with the stable update likely to follow. If confirmed, these tweaks would make morning alarms easier to manage and give Samsung's clock and audio tools a refreshed look.
  • Saudi Arabia eyes data embassies amid sovereign AI push
    December 9, 2025, 2:54 AM EST. Saudi Arabia is exploring data embassies-data centers hosted abroad but governed by the origin country's laws-as part of a broader sovereign AI push. The concept, already used by Estonia and Monaco (with facilities in Luxembourg), aims to store critical data overseas while remaining under the developer nation's legal framework. Proponents say it could unlock overseas sites with ample resources and power for AI, yet success depends on bilateral agreements and trust between parties. Critics point to energy and water constraints in the kingdom that could limit feasibility. Saudi Arabia has drafted an AI hub law outlining three levels of data embassies, from full autonomy for the guest country to hybrid protections where Saudi courts may assist foreign courts. The plan seeks to position Saudi as a data exporter and AI hub in the G20.
  • Anthropic researchers say the industry should stop building tons of AI agents - the real breakthrough is something simpler
    December 9, 2025, 2:52 AM EST. Anthropic researchers argue that the industry should stop chasing a flood of AI agents and instead pursue a smaller number of robust breakthroughs. The core idea is that the real progress won't come from adding more specialized agents, but from strengthening alignment, safety, and scalability of core models. By focusing on simpler, more reliable advances-such as better evaluation, data efficiency, and governance-the field may reach practical, trustworthy capabilities faster. The message contrasts 'more agents' with 'better fundamentals,' urging teams to invest in the boring-but-critical work that underpins long-term progress in AI.
