За пределами вакцин от COVID: mRNA-революция, меняющая медицину

Вакцины против COVID-19 на основе мРНК показали эффективность около 94–95% в клинических испытаниях и к 2022 году было введено более 13 миллиардов доз по всему миру. мРНК-вакцины доставляют инкапсулированную в липидные наночастицы мРНК в цитоплазму, инструктируя клетки производить вирусный антиген, а затем

  • Huawei Watch Ultimate 2 review: ultra-bright, rugged smartwatch for explorers
    December 7, 2025, 10:48 AM EST. Reviewing the Huawei Watch Ultimate 2 reveals a flagship package that excels in extreme use cases and daily wear. Its dive mode demonstrates the hardware's limits, while the large, exceptionally bright display shines in all conditions. A big battery keeps the watch unplugged longer, and the premium zirconium alloy case with a ceramic bezel and sapphire crystal reinforces durability. Connectivity is solid thanks to dual GNSS and eSIM support, plus underwater communication via built-in sonar. Navigation is improved with a new antenna, and the watch supports iOS and Android. The design is robust, with tool-free band changes and a weight of 126.8 g with the bracelet. Drawbacks include limited NFC options and a relatively small app ecosystem. Setup requires the Huawei Health app and a Huawei ID, with multiple data-permission prompts.
  • AI Researchers Warn Adversarial Poetry Is Too Dangerous to Release
    December 7, 2025, 10:46 AM EST. AI researchers at Icaro Lab, DexAI, and Sapienza University warn that adversarial poetry can jailbreak leading AI chatbots. In a yet-to-be-peer-reviewed study, they tested 25 frontier models from OpenAI, Google, xAI, Anthropic, and Meta using handcrafted poems and AI-converted prompts with harmful instructions. Handwritten verses tricked models about 63% of the time on average, with Gemini 2.5 hitting 100%. AI-converted prompts were 43% effective, up to 18x higher than prose baselines. Smaller models like GPT-5 nano showed stronger resistance, sometimes zero. The researchers say the effect arises from unusual poetic structure and riddles, not rhyme, and warn such prompts reveal harmful content. The work from the Icaro Lab safety group and Sapienza is awaiting peer review and raises questions about publishing dangerous techniques.
  • Old Teslas Are Falling Apart: Consumer Reports Ranks Used Teslas Last in Reliability
    December 7, 2025, 10:44 AM EST. New and used Tesla performance diverges in Consumer Reports' reliability rankings. On used models aged five to ten years, Tesla sits dead last among 26 brands, with a score of 31-well behind Lexus (77) and Toyota (73). The bottom tier includes several American makers, and Tesla trails Jeep by one point. For new cars, Tesla improves from 18th to 9th in the last three years of models, but the Cybertruck drags down the average: Model Y scores 81, while the Cybertruck earns just 34. CR attributes the failures to manufacturing quality and reliance on user-reported problems across 140,000 vehicles from 2016-2021. The Cybertruck has faced recalls for stainless steel panels detaching due to glue, power loss, and an accelerator pedal sticking.
  • US firm demonstrates 50cm-resolution 3D naval base map from single-satellite pass
    December 7, 2025, 10:30 AM EST. U.S. satellite company Vantor showcased its imaging prowess by releasing ultra-detailed views of the Yulin Naval Base on Hainan Island. The data claims 50 cm resolution and sub-4 m spatial accuracy captured in a single satellite pass, with processing completed in under 10 hours. The images can be explored in full 3D via Vantor's Forge software, enabling a digital twin view of the site. The release highlights rapid, AI-assisted data processing that can turn vast imagery into actionable intelligence for planning, emergency response, or military exercises. While not a live video, the dataset provides ground-level detail such as vehicle visibility and terrain features, underscoring how high-quality satellite imagery and machine learning are reshaping terrain analysis and reconnaissance.
  • Apple's executive exodus signals a pivot in its AI strategy
    December 7, 2025, 10:14 AM EST. Apple's executive shake-up, including the departures of Jeff Williams, John Giannandrea, Lisa Jackson, Alan Dye, and Kate Adams, is feeding questions about the company's AI strategy. Even as Apple reports near-record iPhone sales, rising services, and a potential low-cost MacBook, analysts see a shift: two AI leaders are leaving, fueling talk that Cook wants to steer away from being a follower and toward AI leadership. Giannandrea's replacement, Amar Subramanya, will report to Craig Federighi as Apple refines its approach to on-device and cloud AI; rumors say Apple may rely on Google's Gemini for Siri until its own models are ready, at a cost of about $1 billion annually. Dye is headed to Meta to lead Reality Labs design, signaling a broader pivot in AI-driven product design.
