MIT Media Lab and OpenAI tracked nearly 1,000 ChatGPT users for four weeks, but the early finding cut against the comfort the chatbot promised — heavier daily use was tied to more loneliness and emotional dependence

Picture someone at the end of a long day. The apartment is quiet. They open ChatGPT, not to draft an email or debug a script, but to say something close to: here is how I am feeling, tell me I am not crazy. The reply comes back warm and patient, with no delay or sigh ... Read more

[Перевод] В Java нет универсального типа для денег

double быстрый, но хранит десятичные числа как двоичные приближения: 0.1 + 0.2 дает 0.30000000000000004. BigDecimal точен в десятичной арифметике, но дороже по памяти и CPU.Выбор зависит от задачи: для метрик и ML хватит double с допуском, для налогов и счетов нужен BigDecimal с явным RoundingMode, для низкой latency - fixed-point на long.Ошибка не в double или BigDecimal, а в выборе без понимания точности, округления и нагрузки.

A Johns Hopkins study tracked the point at which a behaviour turns from a choice into a habit — and found it does not fade in gradually, it switches over all at once

The standard account of how habits form goes something like this: repetition gradually reduces the cognitive effort a behaviour requires. Each time you perform an action — taking the same route to work, reaching for your phone when you sit down, making coffee before you open your laptop — the decision-making overhead shrinks slightly. Over ... Read more Read more

We picture the dark web as the internet’s underworld, but it was built by Navy researchers who understood a quiet truth — that anonymity only protects anyone if it protects everyone, including the people we’d rather it didn’t

I find that most conversations about the dark web collapse almost immediately into moral panic. The image is consistent: shadowy marketplaces, ransomware operators, the kind of content that makes you want to close the browser and go outside. And those things are real — I’m not going to pretend otherwise. But every time I hear ... Read more Read more

Most people don’t realise the hardest part of ageing isn’t losing abilities, it’s outliving everyone who knew the younger version of you

When people picture the hardship of growing old, they picture the body. Joints that stop cooperating, hearing that thins, the loss of an independence that used to come without thinking about it. That decline is real, and it is what almost everyone braces for. Ask people who are actually old, though, and a different answer ... Read more Read more

Stockholm-based Fika Jobs has raised a $4 million pre-seed round to build what it describes as a video-first hiring platform, where candidates are interviewed by an AI agent rather than screened through resumes, as reported by TechCrunch . The round was led by Luminar Ventures, with participation from Alliance VC and King co-founders Sebastian Knutsson and Riccardo Zacconi, the duo behind Candy Crush. Read more

The full-name phone greeting looks like stiffness to anyone under forty. It's actually a fossil from the era of the shared household phone, when announcing yourself was a small courtesy to whoever else might be listening in the kitchen. Read more
