I stopped offering my opinion in family group chats six months ago, no commentary, no reactions, no jumping in to smooth things over, just to see who would notice my absence, and the silence taught me something I had been working hard not to know for about twenty years

I went silent in my family group chat for six months as a quiet experiment. Two people out of fourteen noticed. Here's what the silence revealed about the difference between being needed and being known.

US Layoffs Haven't Increased, and New Tech Industry Hiring Balances Firings

"The numbers show that layoffs in the U.S. are roughly at or below levels from before the pandemic," reports the Washington Post, "although they are higher than in 2022 when businesses snapped up workers as the economy roared back to life... "A different measure that accounts for the growing U.S. workforce shows that layoffs affected about 1.2% of employed people in March, a number that has been steady for years... Read more

Не пики, а бассейны: почему эволюция — это блуждание по графу жизни

Каждый, кто хоть раз открывал школьный учебник биологии или читал научно-популярные статьи об искусственном интеллекте, сталкивался с классической и завораживающей метафорой: ландшафт приспособленности (fitness landscape).Нам рисуют трёхмерную топографическую карту. На ней есть низины (плохие, нежизнеспособные комбинации генов), пологие склоны и величественные вершины — так называемые пики приспособленности. Популяция организмов или агентов генетического алгоритма изображается в виде кучки альпинистов. Ведо Read more

Samsung Galaxy A57 vs. Galaxy A56

If you are in the market for a mid-range smartphone, it's almost impossible not to stumble upon Samsung's Galaxy A lineup. But with the recent Samsung Galaxy A57 release, one would wonder whether the Samsung Galaxy A56 isn't actually a more sensible solution, seeing the somewhat modest hardware upgrade. After all, last year's Galaxy A56 is still relevant and sells at a lower price. Since the more recent Galaxy offers... Read more

Как Gemini 3.5 Flash сломали ради красивых графиков (и почему она обходит 3.1 Pro только на бумаге)

Буквально на днях Google выкатила gemini 3.5 flash. Маркетологи бьют в фанфары: легковесная модель обходит тяжелую gemini 3.1 pro на бенчмарках terminal bench 2.1 и MCP atlas! Но стоит открыть чат, и наступает разочарование. Модель общается сухим, бюрократическим, абсолютно безжизненным языком, уступая в человечности даже старой 3.0 flash. В этой статье мы разберем физику RLHF-лоботомии, покажем, как оптимизация под агентов убивает энтропию генерации, и почему современные бенчмарки стали главным врагом... Read more

The most overrated word in self-improvement is “discipline”

There’s a particular kind of clarity that arrives in your 50s and 60s — not from therapy, not from books, not from any deliberate practice — just from having lived long enough to notice which of your beliefs about yourself were inherited, which were chosen, and which are still serving you

There is a particular kind of clarity that arrives, in some adults, somewhere in their fifties or sixties, that the wider cultural register has not, on the available evidence, developed particularly good language for. The clarity is not the product of any deliberate program. The clarity does not come from therapy, although some of the ... Read more Read more

The most underrated piece of self-development advice is to stop trying to be understood by everyone — and the people who learn it early get back hours of their week they had been spending in conversations that were never going to produce the understanding they were performing for

There is a particular piece of self-development advice that, on the available evidence, almost nobody gives early enough in adult life for it to do the work it could otherwise have done. The piece of advice is to stop trying to be understood by everyone. The advice sounds, on first hearing, slightly callous, slightly cynical, ... Read more Read more

A hundred years ago, a man built the “Isolator” helmet because he couldn’t focus. Imagine what he’d build today.

Somewhere in a New York office, in the spring of 1925, a man sat down at his desk to write, then strapped a wooden helmet over his head before he started. The helmet was lined inside and out with cork, then sheathed in felt. Three small panes of glass that were set in front of ... Read more Read more

Quote of the day by Carl Jung: “Loneliness does not come from having no people around, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself, or from holding certain views which others find inadmissible.”

Carl Jung wrote this line in one of his later works, somewhere in the 1950s, and the line has, since, become one of those quotes that floats around the internet attached to various images of solitary figures looking out windows. The line gets quoted, in most cases, as a piece of moody literary observation about ... Read more Read more
