A major 10-year clinical trial is turning one of the world’s most common knee surgeries on its head.

People who spend a few minutes several times a week writing down what they’re grateful for tend to report higher well-being, better sleep, and more prosocial behavior

A note on what follows: we are writers and editors reading the research, not clinicians or psychologists. These are patterns measured across thousands of people, and one of the studies below is a survey rather than an experiment. A pattern in a crowd is not a prescription for any one reader’s inner life. Gratitude journaling ... Read more Read more

Нас всех заменит ИИ, или как это на самом деле?

Последние два года индустрия разработки меняется быстрее, чем за предыдущие двадцать лет. Почти каждую неделю появляются новые ИИ-модели, ИИ IDE и кодинг-агенты.

Другие уверены, что профессия программиста исчезнет уже через несколько лет.За последние полгода мне довелось использовать AI практически во всех своих проектах. В какой-то момент я поймал себя на мысли, что почти перестал писать код руками. Именно тогда я задумался: действительно ли ИИ... Read more

A surprising discovery is overturning a long-held assumption about how the brain’s movement center works.

The finding suggests scientists may have been relying on the wrong signals when studying disorders such as dystonia, ataxia, and tremor. Read more
