858 I have no close friends and I do not say that as a confession or a complaint — I say it as the most accurate thing I know about my life right now, and I am trying to hold it with honesty rather than explanation, and some days the honesty is enough and some days it is the loneliest sentence I know how to say

I have no close friends and I do not say that as a confession or a complaint — I say it as the most accurate thing I know about my life right now, and I am trying to hold it with honesty rather than explanation, and some days the honesty is enough and some days it is the loneliest sentence I know how to say

In a world obsessed with squad goals and chosen families, one writer discovers that admitting to having zero close friends isn't the confession they thought it would be—it's the beginning of understanding why emptiness might actually be exactly what they need.

Веса уже выложены на Hugging Face, причем использовать модель можно в том числе в коммерческих целях. Читать далее Read more

«Третий сорт»: я проверил претензию к российским AI-специалистам по факта

Мне попался пост рекрутингового агентства. Смысл такой: из России кандидаты идут третьим сортом, поэтому здесь агентство больше не работает и переориентируется на зарубежные рынки найма. Я читал это и понимал, что задело по-настоящему. Настолько, что решил вернуться к текстам именно с этой темы.Сначала я возмутился. Потом сел, остыл и поймал себя на неприятной мысли: а если, по сути, верно? Наши большие языковые модели идут за флагманами с отставанием примерно в... Read more

Can the UK’s Tech reset deliver real business outcomes?

Let’s axe some acronyms, Whitehall red tape and connect Government policy with real Tech business outcomes. Before our new UK Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, began commuting to “Number 10” on Monday, Tech bosses, policy leads and government officials were celebrating and catastrophising – in fairly equal measure – over plans to axe the Department for ...

Most of what you do all day runs on habit, not choice — but a new study found the habits are usually working for you, not against you

Researchers tracked 105 people six times a day for a week. About two-thirds of what they did was triggered by habit, and nearly nine in ten actions were carried out on autopilot. The surprise wasn't the size of the autopilot — it was how often the automatic thing and the intended thing turned out to be the same. Read more

In a classic experiment, people preferred to repeat 90 seconds of painfully cold water rather than 60 seconds of the same pain because the longer trial ended just one degree warmer, revealing that memory often judges an experience by its worst moment and its ending rather than by how long it lasted

There is the pain a person lives through, and then there is the pain their memory files away for later. The unsettling part of the classic cold-water experiment is that those two versions of an experience do not always agree. In the study, published in Psychological Science in 1993 by Daniel Kahneman, Barbara Fredrickson, Charles ... Read more Read more

The reason a chosen breakup can leave a hollow you did not choose: the good reasons for leaving live in one part of the brain, while the routines built around a person keep sending their signals for weeks with no one there to answer

The decision to leave a relationship gets made in the prefrontal cortex, but the routines built around another person live in the striatum — and those circuits keep firing on cue for weeks after the person is gone. Read more

Nobody warns you that apartment hunting in your twenties is really an audit of who you have become against who you assumed you would be by now

I’ve been apartment hunting since April. The original plan, which I’m mildly embarrassed to admit out loud, was to have a place secured by my 27th birthday — as though the rental market, an entity with roughly the emotional warmth of a spreadsheet, was going to respect a deadline I invented purely for narrative satisfaction. ...

In 1926, the U.S. government killed Yellowstone’s last wolf pack — and spent the next 69 years watching the park quietly fall apart

In 1926, federal predator-control policy eliminated the last wolf pack from Yellowstone. What followed — eroding riverbanks, vanishing willows, a single beaver colony left in the entire park — took nearly seven decades to understand, and scientists are still arguing about how much the 1995 reintroduction actually reversed.

We tend to think a breakup hurts because we miss the person, but sometimes the sharper ache is losing the daily role of fixer or calm one that made us feel useful and known

Grief researchers find the sharpest pain of a breakup is often not missing the person but losing the role — the fixer, the calm one — that only existed in relation to them. Read more
