In 2010, a Brigham Young University psychologist named Julianne Holt-Lunstad analyzed 148 separate studies of 300,000 people to compare the mortality risks of various lifestyle factors — and found that chronic loneliness increases a person’s risk of dying early by the same amount as smoking 15 cigarettes a day

In July 2010, three American psychology researchers — Julianne Holt-Lunstad and Timothy B. Smith of the Brigham Young University Department of Psychology in Provo, Utah, and J. Bradley Layton of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Department of Epidemiology — published in the open-access journal PLoS Medicine the substantial 21-page meta-analytic paper “Social ...

Как я подключил Claude к Яндекс Директу через MCP и разгрузил утро понедельника

Управление контекстной рекламой — это много механической работы.

Каждый шаг по отдельности занимает приличное количество времени, с учетом того, что в больших РК этот процесс еще и подвисает (буквально подвисает, на больших отчетах статистика может грузиться минуты).
