Продукт на стыке астрологии и психологии: как мы строили воронку вокруг саморефлексии, а не «гороскопов»

Когда говоришь «астрологический бот», у половины людей в голове всплывает гадание в духе «вы сегодня встретите брюнета». Мы делали принципиально другое — и весь продукт, от первого экрана до монетизации, выстроен вокруг одной гипотезы: люди приходят не за предсказанием, а за структурированным разговором с собой.Расскажу, какие продуктовые проблемы мы решали, какие ставки сделали и что из этого выглядит спорным даже сейчас.

[Перевод] Вы можете победить бинарный поиск

В этой статье речь пойдёт не просто об очередном алгоритме, а о том, как можно обойти классический бинарный поиск. Казалось бы, что может быть эффективнее старого доброго деления массива пополам для нахождения значения в отсортированных данных? Однако можно пойти дальше. В этой статье будет рассказываться о самодельном алгоритме «SIMD Quad» - квадратичном поиске.Идея возникла из необходимости быстро искать 16-битные целые числа в массивах размером до 4096 элементов — именно такие...

What if our biggest idea about reality is built on a hidden misunderstanding? A new philosophical look at space-time challenges the popular view that the past, present, and future all exist together in a timeless "block universe." The argument suggests that physicists may be blurring the difference between things that exist and things that merely occur, creating deep confusion about what space-time actually is. Read more

Scientists have uncovered a key brain signal that helps us break old habits and adapt when circumstances suddenly change. By watching mice navigate a virtual maze, researchers found that disappointment—when an expected reward failed to appear—triggered a surge of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, making the animals more likely to try a new strategy. When acetylcholine was blocked, the mice became less flexible and were more likely to stick with outdated choices. Read more

The largest review ever conducted on opioids for acute pain found that these widely prescribed drugs often deliver only small, short-lived benefits.

Scientists have uncovered a hidden immune system "brake" that may help cancers avoid being destroyed. The molecule, called SLAMF6, weakens the body's cancer-fighting T cells and can leave them exhausted over time. Researchers developed antibodies that block this brake, allowing immune cells to stay stronger and attack tumors more effectively in mice. Read more
