I’m 37 and I used to think AI would make people more productive – now I think it mostly exposes how much of modern work was never meaningful to begin with

Like most people who work for a living, I assumed AI was going to be a productivity tool. You’d write your emails faster. You’d draft your reports in half the time. You’d build the slide deck in fifteen minutes instead of three hours. The framing was always “do more, faster,” and I built it into ... Read more

The Sahel is home to roughly 300 million people on the Sahara’s southern edge — a strip of thin soil and scarce rain where a single failed harvest becomes a crisis with no safety net

Roughly 300 million people live along the Sahel, the semi-arid belt on the Sahara's southern edge where rainfall is scarce, soils are thin, and a single failed harvest cascades into crisis because there is almost no safety net to catch it. Read more

Лёгкий кастомный стратокастер из дешёвых комплектующих

Привет, Хабр! Древесину корпуса этой электрогитары пытались грызть насекомые. Чтобы такое безобразие не повторилось в дальнейшем, а также для создания позитивного настроения, дека и перо грифа самодельного инструмента были украшены изображениями весёлых птиц на цветущих веточках. Может быть, птицы отпугнут жучков.Кроме оригинального оформления, зелёный стратокастер может похвастаться двумя яркими синглами и одним жирным хамбакером с автоотсечкой, позволяющей мгновенно получить желаемое классическое звучание Read more

The Great Green Wall stretches 8,000 km across Africa’s entire width — from the Atlantic coast to the Red Sea, a green belt long enough to cross the United States twice

The African Union's Great Green Wall is meant to run 8,000 kilometres from Senegal's Atlantic coast to Djibouti's Red Sea shore — a belt of restored land long enough to cross the continental United States twice. Nearly two decades in, only a fraction has actually taken root, and the project has quietly redefined what a wall of trees can be. Read more

ICE are heavily armed killers. They’re also huge losers

Donald Trump's Homeland Security regime has been at the center of two critical stories in the past two weeks. In the first, federal agents shot and killed a man and quickly got to work justifying the use of force under the flimsiest of pretenses. In the other, it made house calls to people who said […] Read more

Периодически хочется почитать книги с ноутбука, особенно в дороге. Но у «Яндекс Книг» есть только мобильные приложения и сайт, а отдельного клиента для Windows нет.

In 1991, two researchers at Cambridge pointed a grainy camera at the Trojan Room coffee pot and wired it into the building’s network, because they were tired of climbing the stairs to find the jug empty — and without meaning to, they built the first webcam

In 1991, two researchers at the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory pointed a grey-scale camera at a coffee jug to save themselves a wasted trip down the stairs — and accidentally built the world's first webcam, watched by 2.4 million people before it was switched off in 2001. Read more

Psychologist Carl Rogers suggested the good life is not a state you arrive at but a direction you keep choosing, not a fixed self to defend, but a process of becoming, whether you cling to who you have been or keep opening to who you are becoming

I have caught myself, more than once, defending a version of me that had already moved on. Something in the way I described what I do, or what I care about, or what I am no longer willing to try, would be a year or two out of date the moment I said it out ... Read more Read more

We assume tech clusters form around talent, but the AI boom is increasingly chasing cheap power — how Northern Virginia, Iowa and Ireland became data-centre capitals

Where the internet physically lives is being redrawn, and what’s pulling it isn’t engineers — it’s electricity. Across the industry, the biggest new data-centre campuses are chosen first for access to cheap, plentiful power. The old draw of a nearby talent pool now comes a distant second. Iowa cornfields, an Irish suburb near Dublin, and ... Read more Read more

The truth about 10,000 steps a day: the number wasn’t science, it was the brand name of a pedometer a Japanese company launched around the 1964 Tokyo Olympics — and later research finds real health benefits from as few as 4,000 steps

The daily step goal on hundreds of millions of wrists and phones did not come out of a laboratory. It came out of a marketing department. In the mid-1960s, riding the fitness buzz around the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, the Japanese clock and instrument company Yamasa released a step counter called the Manpo-kei. The name means, ...

Carl Jung argued we spend the first half of life building a mask and the second deciding what to do with it — whether we keep performing the role we polished for the world, or begin the harder work of integrating the parts it left out

Carl Jung split a human life down the middle and gave each half a different job. The first half, he said, is spent building something the world can see: a role, a reputation, a face that fits. The second half is spent deciding what to do with all of it. Do you keep playing the ... Read more Read more

Psychology says people who feel emotionally lighter within minutes of arriving at the ocean aren’t imagining it — studies show that simply looking at water can lower blood pressure and slow the heart rate in less than two minutes, before a single wave has been heard.

There is a particular feeling that arrives before the holiday has properly started. You step out of the car near the ocean, or reach the end of a street where the water suddenly opens in front of you, and your body seems to loosen before your mind has built an explanation. It can feel sentimental ... Read more Read more

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 ...

In 1979, a Harvard psychologist named Ellen Langer took eight men in their late 70s to a retreat house redecorated exactly like 1959 — old magazines, radio broadcasts, and furniture — and asked them to live as their younger selves for a week, and by the end their eyesight, hearing, memory, and grip strength had measurably improved

In September 1979, at an old converted Catholic monastery in the wooded countryside of Peterborough, New Hampshire — approximately 90 kilometres northwest of Boston, and approximately six months before Ellen Jane Langer would become, in the specific spring of 1981, the first female professor to receive tenure in the history of the Harvard University Department ...

Psychology says the people who read everything on social media but never post anything are not the shy ones or the antisocial ones — they are usually the most careful observers in the room, and they have learned that watching quietly gives them information about other people that speaking would immediately take away

The population of people who use social media without posting is much larger than most active posters realise. The Pew Research Center’s 2019 study “Sizing Up Twitter Users,” based on a nationally representative sample of U.S. adult Twitter users, found that the median user posts just twice a month, while the most prolific 10 percent ...
