Why the fear of missing out on AI is driving European VCs to make riskier bets than ever

European venture capitalists are pouring unprecedented capital into AI startups at breakneck speed, driven not by conviction but by a deep-seated fear of missing the next transformative wave — a psychological dynamic that history suggests rarely ends well.

AI job displacement predictions rest on a metric economists call ‘completely meaningless’

AI executives warn that machines will replace human workers across nearly every profession within years. Economists say the data needed to evaluate that claim barely exists. The missing variable: price elasticity of demand — a foundational economic concept that determines whether AI-driven productivity gains expand markets or simply eliminate jobs.

Разбираем Remote Compose: как Google предлагает строить BDUI

Технологии Backend-Driven UI уже давно используются во многих компаниях, включая Альфа-Банк. Существует множество реализаций этого подхода, и недавно Google представил собственное решение — Remote Compose.Remote Compose выглядит очень перспективной технологией. Фреймворк активно развивается и поддерживается командой Google. Однако на момент написания статьи технология всё ещё находится в alpha-версии, поэтому использовать её на проде пока рано. Но я изучил этот фреймворк и хочу поделиться своим опытом,а ког Read more

Вспоминаем молодость: как делались скриншоты на старых кнопочных Nokia

Возможность делать скриншот — это базовый минимум, который есть во всех современных смартфонах. Даже у героев вечных споров, iOS и Android используются похожие комбинации «Громкость + Кнопка питания». Разве что на iOS используется «+», а в Android — «-».Пятнадцать лет назад все было иначе. На устройствах было больше кнопок, но возможность сделать скриншот была роскошью. Задача осложнялась тем, что бюджетные телефоны на платформе S40 не имели многозадачности, так что написать...

Security Week 2615: атака Rowhammer на видеокарты Nvidia

На прошлой неделе были опубликованы сразу три научные работы, так или иначе предлагающие варианты атаки Rowhammer для видеокарт Nvidia. Подобные атаки часто имеют чисто научный интерес, но не в этом случае: во всех работах показаны методы эксплуатации с реально опасными последствиями вплоть до получения прав суперпользователя на целевой системе. Новые атаки были испытаны на видеокартах с видеопамятью стандарта GDDR6, в частности на GeForce RTX3060 и RTX6000. Именно для RTX6000 и... Read more

A single week of intensive meditation and mind-body practices led to measurable changes across the brain and body. Researchers observed improved brain efficiency, boosted immune signaling, and increased natural pain relief chemicals in participants’ blood. The effects even promoted neuron growth and stronger brain connectivity. Surprisingly, the experience mirrored psychedelic-like brain states—without any drugs involved. Read more

NAC: надежный страж корпоративной сети

Современный арсенал средств защиты корпоративных сетей велик и разнообразен: межсетевые экраны нового поколения (NGFW), средства защиты веб-приложений (WAF), системы защиты от DDoS-атак, песочницы (Sandbox) и анализаторы сетевого трафика (NTA). Однако существует целый класс решений, которому, на наш взгляд, уделяется незаслуженно мало внимания, — это системы контроля и управления доступом к сети или NAC (Network Access Control). Данная статья призвана исправить этот пробел. Мы поговорим не о конкретных прод Read more

The difference between people who actually change their lives and people who just talk about it almost always comes down to what they do in the first 90 seconds after waking up

I used to be a world-class life-changer. In theory. I’d lie in bed in our apartment in Saigon, scrolling through articles about morning routines, saving posts about meditation, bookmarking YouTube videos on discipline. By the time I actually got up, I’d already consumed forty minutes of other people’s productivity and done precisely nothing with my ... Read more Read more

I’m 66 and my son sent me a podcast about morning routines and cold showers and I listened to the whole thing to be polite – but the real reason my life changed at 55 was that my wife looked at me one Tuesday and said “I miss who you were before you got so careful” and I never recovered from that sentence

My kid means well. He’s 34, lives out in Colorado, does something with software that I’ve never fully understood despite him explaining it to me at least a dozen times. Last month he texted me a link to a podcast. Some guy talking about cold showers, morning routines, optimizing your day. I listened to the ... Read more Read more

Nobody prepares you for the hardest lesson of your 50s – that some of the people you sacrificed for genuinely don’t remember what you gave up, and it’s not cruelty, it’s just the way memory works when you were never the main character in their story

My brother Eddie needed money in 2004. Not a little. A lot. His wife had left, he was behind on the mortgage, and he called me on a Thursday night with that voice people use when they’re too proud to ask for what they’re about to ask for. I gave him twelve thousand dollars. I ... Read more Read more

Psychology says the people who actually escape loneliness don’t do it by finding more people – they do it by finally dropping the version of themselves that made real connection impossible in the first place

When I first moved to Saigon, I knew almost nobody. I had my wife, a laptop, and a vague plan to build a content business from our apartment in District 7. By any objective measure, I should have been lonely. I wasn’t. Not really. And for a while I thought that meant I’d figured something ... Read more Read more

The most profound disconnect between boomers and younger generations isn’t about avocado toast or laziness — it’s that boomers inherited an economy designed to reward time invested, while millennials and Gen Z are navigating one that rewards attention captured, and the skill sets don’t translate

My dad worked at the same company for most of his career. He started in sales, moved into management, and spent thirty years climbing a ladder that, while imperfect, actually existed. The rungs were visible. The deal was straightforward: show up, work hard, stay loyal, and the system would reward you over time. My brother, ... Read more Read more
