The Land Forces Command confirmed that some women without medical or pharmaceutical education ended up on military records due to erroneous data in the information and communication system «Oberig». The error occurred back in 2021.

Former CMO of monobank Anatoliy Rogalsky has become an important newsmaker in recent months, announcing two projects in which he has joined as a co-founder. Both are unusual from certain points of view: one in location, the other in functionality. Two months ago, Rogalsky announced preparations for the launch of the neobank jejebank in Nigeria, and about a month ago, he announced joint work on the healthtech startup Jane with his wife, a doctor, Yevgenia.

Is it possible to organize a perfect vacation without ever speaking to the staff? It turns out, yes. In ULIS.Dudky, instead of the usual reception, a Telegram bot works, food and firewood are ordered via QR codes, and the only legal stimulus instead of Slack noise is the view of the forest from a huge window. We tested this format of “digital detox with comfort” just 40 km from Kyiv.

The Telegram messenger recently rolled out a number of updates, including an AI text editor for messages. Social media users have noticed that it sometimes suggests politically biased text options that radically change the meaning of the message.

Back in 2021, Vitaliy Opaynych worked as an investigator in the tax police — seven days a week, with constant stress and on-duty on holidays. Today, he is a frontend developer at the product company Dripify, with a completely different rhythm of life, environment, and sense of control over his own time. His transition into IT looks almost like a textbook case: a few months of training and only three weeks to find his first job. But behind that is burnout, doubts, and the decision to start from scratch at the age of 30.

The large Japanese corporation Terra Drone has officially announced a strategic partnership and investment in the Ukrainian company Amazing Drones. This is not just a financial deal - it is the first time that a Japanese technology leader has entered the military sector of Ukraine during the active phase of the war, bringing with it millions of capital and world experience in mass production. We spoke with Terra Drone CEO Toru Tokushige and Amazing Drones CEO Maksym Klymenko about the emergence of Japanese-Ukrainian defense cooperation and current challenges in the interceptor drone market.

After the terrorist attack in Lviv on February 22, when Ukrainians recruited via Telegram detonated two explosive devices in the city center, the issue of blocking the messenger was again on the agenda. Budanov, Vereshchuk, and Interior Minister Klymenko spoke about the restrictions. But there will be no blocking — at least not in the near future. Why — further.

On Reddit, many IT professionals share tools they have created specifically to analyze or reduce token costs. We have selected a few that have been of most interest to the participants of the ClaudeAI subreddit, namely: Claude skill for writing precise prompts, a tool for structurally navigating agents in code, and a cost tracker.

The price of a crypto is often perceived only as the result of market processes, but unlike traditional assets, where rules exist above the market, in cryptocurrency they are originally built into the protocol — and it is they who shape the behavior and dynamics of the price.

Hello! This is an experimental column #tinfoilhat, in which we analyze strange, disturbing and sometimes frankly wild conspiracy theories surrounding technology. Today we are talking about people who see artificial intelligence as a separate entity, as well as a «superintelligence from another dimension» that sends us signals.

GSC Game World studio, together with the ATB supermarket chain, are planning to launch a large-scale collaboration dedicated to the hit game STALKER 2: Heart of Chernobyl. The main feature of the campaign will be the release of thematic trading cards.

For nearly two decades, software development outsourcing has been a fast and cost-effective way to access global talent and scale. By 2024, the IT outsourcing market exceeded $512 billion, with companies saving up to 70% on labor and gaining flexibility by outsourcing teams to India, Eastern Europe, and Latin America (and, of course, Ukraine).

Insurance, like most traditional industries, is entering a phase of profound transformation under the influence of artificial intelligence. But there is a nuance: this is an industry that has lived for decades on conservative models, regulation and caution. That is why the effect of AI here will not be instantaneous. But it will definitely be fundamental.

We have already written about the scandalous statement of the director of the German defense concern Rheinmetall, Armin Papperger, which was based on a comparison of the Ukrainian drone industry with «housewives with 3D printers.» It seems that in Ukraine there is no technology and no innovation, but rather handicraft, but here in Europe and America… The careless statement caused such a great resonance that, firstly, the Rheinmetall company itself later decided to soften its effect by publishing an article about the «innovative power and fighting spirit of the Ukrainian people», and, secondly, even the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky commented on it, saying that if such «housewives» manage Ukrainian miltech companies, then Rheinmetall itself could well be headed.

Reddit and Threads have been discussing the new Ukrainian social network YEDNÁ for the second day. Verification on it is only through «Diya».

A Reddit user talked about creating an AI-powered website where he collected over 2,000 documents from the famous Los Alamos laboratory, where the atomic bomb was created at the end of World War II.

Artificial intelligence is changing energy faster than the green transition.

German defense giant Rheinmetall, after a wave of criticism, said that «the innovative strength and fighting spirit of the Ukrainian people are inspiring.» The company emphasized that Ukraine is demonstrating an effective fight even with limited resources, and the contribution of every Ukrainian to the resistance is «invaluable.»

The Third Army Corps, commanded by Andriy Biletsky, is one of the most technologically oriented units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The corps is openly looking for IT specialists and does so systematically: with interviews, screening, and recruiters who guide the candidate through the process. We spoke with Yuriy «Phil» Filatov, Chief of Unmanned Systems of the Third Army Corps, about what IT really means in the modern army, what kind of people they are looking for, and what IT specialists are really afraid of when they enter.

For some reason, we like to discuss the news: will there be subpoenas in «Diya» or not? Someone blurts out that there will be, then the Ministry of Digital Affairs comes out and says that it will never happen.

Over 30,000 participants from almost 190 countries offline and several hundred thousand online, 1,000+ technical sessions, 2,000+ speakers — this year’s Nvidia GTC breaks records from previous years. In addition to its scale, it was the first ever conference «beyond Earth» — the event announced NVIDIA Space-1 — a platform that brings the computing power of data centers into orbit. Now the «cloud» is literally becoming cosmic. My name is Dmytro Zikrach, I am the AI ​​Competence Manager at SoftServe. My colleagues and I attended this year’s Super Bowl of the AI ​​world, GTC, and I am ready to share what we saw and heard during these few days of the event.

At the Xbox Partner Preview presentation, Ukrainian studio GSC showed the first major story expansion for STALKER 2 called "The Price of Hope." The developers promise dozens of hours of gameplay in new locations, including events that will also take place on the territory of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. We analyze the trailer in detail and tell you what awaits players in the Exclusion Zone this summer.

The Lychakiv District Court of Lviv has issued a number of rulings to seize the property of the Yabko electronics store chain at the request of the Lviv Territorial Department of the Bureau of Economic Security (BEB). We reviewed the court documents to find out exactly what was seized.

A banking app has long ceased to be just a tool for transferring funds and paying bills — today it is a personal financial hub that should «know its user by face» (and this, of course, is not about video identification and background through the camera!).

Watching the development of AI — as an engineer and as the head of a product studio — is another emotional rollercoaster. That’s why I spent three weekends immersed in vibecoding, to understand firsthand what it is and how it can work. I started with a cocky «Well, Skynet, let’s see what you’re capable of.» But I soon came to «Mother Vasilyev» and «This thing will change our familiar world, and it’s inevitable.» But if we put emotions aside, it’s worth admitting that the current capabilities of vibecoding surprise even me, a developer with 20 years of experience and dozens of cases of building successful products.

While Tinder and Bumble struggle with user churn due to “swipe fatigue,” Oleksandr Kazmirchuk is launching SpicyDate. It’s a dating app where you don’t have to wait for a mutual like to start dating, and annoying correspondence gives way to shared leisure time thanks to integration with establishments and attending events. We talked to Oleksandr about how the experience of friendship helped him create a platform where people meet again in restaurants and on walks, not on smartphone screens.

A good shot starts with an idea, a camera, and optics. But that’s just the beginning of the work: editing, color correction, retouching, 3D — all of this falls on the shoulders of the computer. If the hardware doesn’t «pull», no creative idea will save you from slowdowns, endless proxy files, and hours of waiting for a render. Modern content in 4K, 6K, and 8K with 10-bit color depth requires an appropriate tool.

VP Team, Clust, and Happy Monday published a joint study of the IT labor market. dev.ua collected seven insights that change the modern logic of hiring and retaining people.

A new informal hierarchy of candidates has formed on the Ukrainian labor market, taking into account the risks of mobilization.

The story of «quick entry into IT» has long become part of Internet folklore. One has only to go to YouTube and dozens of promises appear before your eyes: learn C++ in a week, master React in a month, change your profession in one course. It seems that a few videos and a little perseverance are enough to open up a new career with a good salary.
