786 People who start businesses in their 50s and 60s have an advantage no 25-year-old can replicate — they’ve already failed inside someone else’s company on someone else’s dime, and every mistake they watched a boss make is a mistake they’ll never repeat, and that accumulated library of other people’s errors is worth more than any startup capital because it buys something money can’t

People who start businesses in their 50s and 60s have an advantage no 25-year-old can replicate — they’ve already failed inside someone else’s company on someone else’s dime, and every mistake they watched a boss make is a mistake they’ll never repeat, and that accumulated library of other people’s errors is worth more than any startup capital because it buys something money can’t

While young entrepreneurs chase venture capital and viral growth, seasoned professionals in their 50s and 60s are quietly building bulletproof businesses using a secret weapon no amount of funding can buy: three decades of watching other people's expensive mistakes unfold in real-time.

Как начать карьеру в IT, если кажется, что все вокруг умнее тебя

Разбираемся в ML без воды: от базы до Attention. Часть 12: Понижение размерности и PCA

В предыдущей части мы разобрали градиентный бустинг — финального босса в классическом обучении с учителем. Мы научились строить мощные ансамбли, которые выжимают максимум из табличных данных. Кажется, что на этом можно ставить точку и прыгать в современный мир нейросетей и Deep Learning.Но до этого момента мы жили в идеальной теплице: у нас всегда была разметка (тот самый target, который нужно предсказать), а количество признаков в таблицах было разумным.

LLM для игры в ДнД: эволюция подхода

Каждый, кто пробовал играть в настольные ролевые игры типа ДнД с ИИ‑ассистентом типа ChatGPT или Gemini, быстро упирался в ограничения: модель забывает контекст, подыгрывает пользователю, путается в очерёдности ходов и теряет сюжетные рельсы. Но что, если забрать у нейросети математику и управление, оставив ей то, в чём она сильна — работу с нарративом?В этой статье я расскажу о своём пути R&D: от простого PoC «одна модель делает всё» через трёх...

Fujitsu engineers could remotely alter subpostmaster accounts without their knowledge — and the Post Office told courts for years that they couldn’t

For fifteen years, the Post Office told courts that Horizon's branch accounts could only be altered by the subpostmaster at the counter. Fujitsu engineers in Bracknell could rewrite them remotely — and the denial of that capability is the load-bearing beam under more than 700 wrongful prosecutions. Read more

We imagine that hitting the big goal — the promotion, the house — will bring lasting joy, but feel strangely flat once we arrive. Psychology has a name for this: the arrival fallacy

I am not a psychologist, and what follows is reading and reflection on a handful of studies, not advice about your life. The research here describes tendencies in groups of people, not laws that apply to everyone the same way, so take it as a lens rather than a verdict on how you in particular ... Read more Read more

Thought of the day from Stoic philosopher Marcus Aurelius: “Each of us lives only in the present, this brief moment; the rest is either a life that is past or is an uncertain future.”

The mind does not like the present. Left to its own devices, it drifts. It runs back over a conversation from last week and replays the part you wish you’d handled better, or it leans forward into next month and starts rehearsing things that haven’t happened and may never happen. The one place it seems ... Read more Read more

One question Gallup uses to gauge if people are engaged at work sounds too personal to belong – but it turns out to be one of the strongest predictors of retention and well-being, a quiet reminder that even jobs ultimately run on human friendship

The first time I read it, I thought it was a typo. Sitting in a list of perfectly sensible workplace statements, the kind about clear expectations and having the right tools to do your job, was a line that read more like something a child might ask: do you have a best friend at work? ...

We tend to picture learning as something for the young, but a study of 416 Canadians over sixty found that those who kept taking courses reported greater well-being — the staying with it, not the subject, seemed to matter most

I caught myself thinking something the other day that I’m not proud of. A friend mentioned that an older relative of his had just signed up for a class, and my first reaction, the one I had the sense not to say out loud, was a quiet “what’s the point at that age?” It’s an ... Read more Read more

The Murchison meteorite that fell on an Australian town in 1969 contains grains of stardust 7 billion years old, meaning the dust predates the Sun itself and is the oldest solid material ever held in a human hand

In 1969, a fireball broke over the Victorian town of Murchison and scattered carbon-rich stones across the paddocks. Inside them sat grains of silicon carbide that condensed in dying stars roughly 7 billion years ago — older than the Sun, older than the Earth, and the most ancient solid material ever held in a human hand.

The adult who apologises for crying even when alone in their own kitchen isn’t oversensitive, they grew up around someone whose mood the whole house had to navigate around tears

The reflex to apologise for crying alone isn't oversensitivity — it's a leftover safety protocol from a childhood spent regulating somebody else's emotions. Here's what developmental research says about why the apology lingers, and how to put it down. Read more

A Roman shipwreck found off the Greek island of Antikythera in 1901 held a corroded bronze device with dozens of interlocking gears, and X-ray scans later revealed it was an analogue computer built around 100 BC to predict eclipses and the positions of planets.

Sponge divers found a corroded bronze lump in a Roman shipwreck off Antikythera in 1901. X-ray scans revealed at least 30 interlocking gears built around 100 BC to predict eclipses and planetary positions — a mechanical computer 1,400 years ahead of anything comparable. Read more
