Research suggests the problem with using AI as a therapist isn’t that it sounds wrong — it’s that it can sound right while still crossing serious ethical lines

The first time a machine answers your pain beautifully, something strange happens. You know, technically, that nobody is there. No breathing body. No attentive face. No therapist noticing the tremor in your voice or the way you make a joke exactly when something hurts. And yet, the answer arrives. Gentle. Immediate. Organized. Calm. It does ... Read more

Свой AI-прокси на Java: как я пытался подключится к Gemini

Для разработки одного из моих проектов: документа BDoc (Book Document альтернатива устаревшим закрытым бинарным форматами такими как IDML, INDD или Scribus SLA) потребовалась нейросеть, которая может держать контекст очень долго. На данный момент для это цели идеально подходит Gemini, так как контекстное окно у Gemini в 1 миллион токенов. Но есть одна загвоздка, компания Google заблокировала некоторые регионы. То есть запросы от этих регионов не будут доходить до google. Рассмотрев... Read more

People Keep Sneaking Into an Empty IBM Campus - and Then Getting Arrested

Since February, New York state police have arrested 48 people for trespassing on a former IBM campus in Somers, New York, reports the Wall Street Journal. 30 of the arrests were teenagers. The long-vacant site has become a magnet for so-called urban explorers, who prowl abandoned malls, hospitals, power plants, amusement parks, factories and any other disused structure they can breach...

Именно с помощью этого приспособления игрок передвигается в окружающем пространстве и пытается взобраться на гору, а затем всё более абстрактную череду нагромождённых объектов.

How the FSF Sysadmins are Blocking Botnets with reaction

For nearly two years the Free Software Foundation has been fighting web crawlers (including many aggressively scraping training data for AI models). A botnet controlling about five million IPs hit one system for six months in 2025. Their systems administrator wrote this week that they view these as distributed denial-of-service attacks. How are they fighting back? We noticed patterns in the scrapers that were abnormal, which gave us material for... Read more

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 ...

It may be the one showing something quieter: the price of asking a capable model a question has collapsed.
