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

Агора: что случилось за три месяца после прошлой статьи. Разбор комментариев

В прошлый раз я рассказывал, как в 15 лет с нуля написал российскую соцсеть для учеников, учителей и студентов «Агора» — тогда было 99 пользователей, около сотни SQL-миграций и куча энтузиазма. Статья неожиданно собрала 12 тысяч просмотров и почти 40 комментариев. Часть из них были просто добрыми словами, но был и один разбор — от PyXiion — на несколько экранов, по существу, без скидок на возраст. Отвечать на него сходу... Read more

Android lockscreen bypass allows Gemini to send SMS without verification

These things happen from time to time, especially when dealing with such complex software with so many edge cases and even more so with software with special privileges like Gemini’s ability to run from the lock screen. In traditional “hacking” circles, this is known as an authentication bypass vulnerability or a lockscreen bypass. It is always so fascinating to observe what things people find or often stumble upon.

Last year, Sam Altman invited author Dave Eggers to give a talk to around 200 OpenAI staffers. The man has written countless novels, screenplays, pieces of journalism, started McSweeney's, and founded multiple schools and nonprofits that support writers and the arts more broadly. So one might expect he'd roll into the company's offices and offer […] Read more

Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi spent decades studying thousands of people at the moments they felt most deeply alive, and their answers kept pointing to the same place: not passive relaxation, but total absorption in a difficult activity that stretched their abilities without overwhelming them, until self-consciousness faded and time seemed to disappear.

Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi did not find the deepest form of human aliveness where modern culture often tells us to look for it. Not in total comfort. Not in passive ease. Not in the blank relief of finally doing nothing. He found it in the opposite place: in hard, absorbing activity that demanded so much attention that ... Read more Read more

Researchers studying late-life wellbeing have found that one of the deepest sources of joy is not just being loved, healthy, or financially secure — it is still feeling useful to someone else

There is a version of a good old age that most of us carry around without examining it. In it, an older person is comfortable, cared for, in reasonable health, and surrounded by people who love them. Money is not a worry. The phone rings on the right days, someone remembers the birthday, and the ... Read more Read more

A 2025 MIT report estimated that roughly 95% of task-specific enterprise generative-AI initiatives had yet to produce measurable business returns. The researchers argued that the main obstacle was not the underlying models, but tools that failed to learn from feedback, fit existing workflows or solve clearly defined operational problems.

The useful reading of the MIT finding is not that generative AI has failed. It is that enterprise AI has run into the same old enterprise problem: a tool that does not fit the work is not made valuable by being technically impressive. The report in question has been widely identified as MIT NANDA’s The ... Read more Read more

In the first quarter of 2026, investors poured roughly $242 billion into AI startups—about 80% of all venture capital deployed worldwide, according to Crunchbase. Nothing comparable appears in its historical data: never before had one sector absorbed such a large share of global startup investment in a single quarter.

The first quarter of 2026 was not just another strong period for AI fundraising. On Crunchbase’s numbers, it was a distortion of the venture market itself: one sector absorbed most of the capital deployed into startups worldwide. In Crunchbase’s April 1 report on global venture funding in Q1 2026, investors put $300 billion into about ... Read more Read more

In homes common across the 1960s and 1970s, children learned to read a parent’s mood from the sound of the front door before anyone had spoken a word — researchers call the adult result hypervigilance, and it shows up in 5 recognisable patterns

My father learned to read a room before he learned to read a book. The lock would turn, then a pause, then the exact weight of two shoes landing on the mat, and from those few seconds of hallway sound he already knew what kind of evening the house was in for. Keys set down ... Read more Read more

Psychology says people who are kind to everyone and close to no one often weren’t always this way — there was usually a friendship, a relationship, or a family dynamic that taught them, clearly enough to stick, that letting someone fully in was indistinguishable from handing them a way to hurt you

I once knew a man who was, without exaggeration, the most likeable person in any room. He remembered your dog’s name. He’d top up your drink before you noticed it was empty. Waiters adored him. Strangers left him feeling like the most interesting person alive. I knew him for eleven years and I could not ... Read more Read more

Adults who spent years being the funny one, the capable one, or the strong one in a group often arrive at a moment when the role has kept them so thoroughly in character that they are no longer sure there is anyone left underneath it

There are roles a person chooses, and roles that quietly choose them back. At first, being the funny one, the capable one or the strong one can feel like social fluency. It gives the group a shape. It gives the person a place. Everyone knows what to expect, which is one of the simplest ways ... Read more Read more

We’re taught that failure is the price of ambition, but psychologists studying explanatory style found that what happens after a setback depends partly on the story a person tells themselves about it: those who see failure as permanent and personal are more likely to become helpless, while those who treat it as temporary and specific are more likely to keep going.

Ambition has a standard story about failure. You take the hit, learn the lesson, and keep moving. It is clean, motivational, and not quite true. Some setbacks become information. Others become identity. The difference is not only the size of the loss. It is also the explanation a person builds around it. Psychologists studying explanatory ... Read more Read more

Psychology says the gap between getting what you wanted and still wanting more is not necessarily a character flaw — it is hedonic adaptation, the brain’s tendency to turn yesterday’s achievement into today’s normal and quietly move the finish line again

There is a particular embarrassment that can arrive after success. A person gets the job, the promotion, the funding, the house, the public proof, the number they used to think would settle something. For a while it does. Then the mind absorbs it into ordinary life, and the next target begins to look less like ... Read more Read more
