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

Первый шаг к gRPC-клиенту

На текущий момент можно считать, что не имеется некоммерческих библиотек или компонентов, позволяющих создать качественный gRPC-клиент (автор, конечно же, в курсе про «DelphiGrpc», но в нынешнем виде полагает её малопригодной для практического использования – хотя бы из-за устаревших версий зависимостей); во многом остроту данной проблемы снимают платные решения – давно существующий компонент TipwGRPC, а также относительно недавно появившийся TsgcGRPCClient. В связи с этим, если по каким-то причинам примене Read more

SpaceX in your index fund, explained

Index funds are touted as one of the safest ways to invest. Rather than picking and choosing individual stocks, index funds let you bet on the market as a whole. So what happens when a company like SpaceX - a giant gamble, and, in my opinion, terribly overpriced - is fast-tracked into the Nasdaq-100? Does […] Read more

China's New AI Model Halts New Subscriptions As Demand Swamps Capacity

Moonshot AI has temporarily paused new subscriptions for its Kimi K3 model after demand surged beyond the company's current capacity within days of the launch. The open-source Chinese AI model, described as one of the largest of its kind at 2.8 trillion parameters, has rattled U.S. rivals by beating Anthropic's Fable 5 and OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Sol in front-end coding tests. The Associated Press reports: "Kimi K3 has received far more... Read more

Psychology says people who reach their 60s with few close friends aren’t bad at relationships — they’re often the ones who gave so much in every relationship that they eventually ran out of the energy it takes to ask for anything back

A person can reach their 60s with only a few close friends for reasons that have little to do with being bad at relationships. That is the first correction worth making. A small circle is not always evidence of social failure. Sometimes it is the visible result of time, selection, unequal effort, family obligations, work, ... Read more Read more

Psychology says the most resilient people aren’t the ones who bounce back fast or stay positive through everything — they’re the ones who let themselves fall apart quietly on a Tuesday evening and still get up on Wednesday morning and do what needs to be done

Resilience is often misread as speed. The person who seems strongest is assumed to be the one who recovers fastest, stays calmest, smiles soonest, and returns to normal before anyone has had time to notice the damage. That is a narrow version of resilience. It rewards performance, not recovery. It notices composure, not cost. The ... Read more Read more

Adults with no close friends are not necessarily incapable of intimacy — attachment research suggests some have learned to manage its risks by limiting disclosure, dependence and closeness, keeping people distant enough that rejection feels less dangerous

An adult can be personable, attentive and capable of affection while still having nobody they would call a close friend. That absence is often read as evidence of poor social skills or a lack of interest in other people. Sometimes it may be. In other cases, the more useful question is not whether the person ...

Plant-based food sales have flatlined after years of double-digit growth, and grocery data suggests the drop-off is coming from vegans themselves, not skeptics

US plant-based food sales fell 2% in 2024 after years of double-digit growth, and the shoppers walking away aren't skeptics — they're the committed vegans who built the category. Cognitive dissonance, ingredient labels, and a purity war inside the movement help explain why. Read more

Wearing the same excellent coat for fifteen years isn't frugality — it's a quiet psychological strategy. When possessions are few and cared for, they accumulate a kind of dignity that a full closet, with all its churn and optionality, structurally cannot produce. Read more

The companies building AI — OpenAI, Google DeepMind, Anthropic — co-signed a letter on Monday warning that their own technology could trigger an economic transformation larger than the Industrial Revolution, unfolding so fast that existing institutions have no realistic path to keep up without immediate action

On Monday, 13 July, a coalition of economists, AI researchers and technology executives issued an unusually compressed warning about the economic consequences of increasingly capable artificial intelligence. The three-point statement says AI may become radically more powerful within ten years and could produce an economic transformation larger than the Industrial Revolution in a much shorter ...
