When YouTube launched in 2005, the very first video ever uploaded was a 19-second clip of co-founder Jawed Karim standing in front of the elephant enclosure at the San Diego Zoo, saying nothing particularly meaningful about elephants having long trunks — and the video remains live on the platform today with more than 350 million views, as one of the most-watched home videos in human history

The first video ever uploaded to YouTube is not an event, not a viral phenomenon, not a curated piece of content, and not particularly interesting on its own terms. It is a 19-second clip of a 25-year-old man standing in front of an elephant enclosure at the San Diego Zoo, observing that elephants have long ... Read more

Нужен ли ИИ-помощнику системный подход и как его обеспечить?

Системное мышление дает мощный инструмент для анализа реального мира и создания проектов, которые его изменяют. Казалось бы, такой инструмент полезен всем, кто работает со сложными системами. Однако, когда я несколько лет назад рассказывал про него на Analyst Days, то в обратной связи мне прилетел вопрос: «Это интересно, но зачем так сложно? Почему бы просто не взять c4-model и не создать модель на ее основе, это же гораздо проще?» Сейчас аналогичный... Read more

MESHCORE – децентрализованная общественная сеть с человеческим лицом

Ровно 5 лет назад автором была написана статья о публичной меш-сети под названием "Meshtastic – оперативно-тактический радиочат без сотовой связи и интернета". На тот момент концепция была новым веянием времени и являла собой в мир эпоху МЭШ-технологий для простого народа. Тема в основном была предназначена для технически и програмно подкованных коллег-сотоварищей. Сегодня, по прошествии лет, Mesh-технологии шагнули далеко в мир и получили большое развитие в области WiFi сетей 5…8 поколений…... Read more

Psychology says people who grew up working class aren’t less capable than their higher-class peers in job interviews — they’re simply less overconfident, and overconfidence is what interviewers keep mistaking for competence

Job interviews are supposed to measure competence. A 2020 paper in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology suggests they often measure something else: how comfortable a person is with sounding certain. Peter Belmi, Margaret A. Neale, David Reiff and Rosemary Ulfe studied the relationship between social class and overconfidence, and argued that class-based inequality ... Read more Read more

When DeskTime studied how its users actually worked, the most productive tenth were not the ones who never stopped —  rest seemed to be key to output

I have a bad habit I am not proud of. When the work is going badly, I keep going anyway. The screen stays on, the cursor stays blinking, and I sit there past the point where anything good is coming out, as if the act of staying put is itself the work. Some part of ... Read more Read more

Rethinking remote work: surveys show people will give up 5 to 8% of their pay to work from home, but a 2026 study links remote work to more isolation, anxiety and depression — suggesting they may be underweighting the cost

Here is something I have been turning over for a while. Most of us, given the choice, will give up real money to work from home — not metaphorical money but actual salary, the kind that pays rent. In a survey of more than 30,000 Americans, over half valued the option to work from home ... Read more Read more

We tend to think our actions follow from our beliefs — but cognitive dissonance means we often rewrite our beliefs to justify what we’ve already done, not the reverse

More than a decade ago, I left a finance job, moved to Vietnam, and eventually started writing for a living. For a long time I told this story as a series of decisions. I had figured out what mattered to me, I had questioned the default path, I had chosen freedom over a predictable salary. ... Read more Read more

People who reach their seventies genuinely content usually didn’t get there by forgiving everyone; they got there by quietly releasing the need for certain people to ever understand them

We tend to assume that the calm you see in some older people is the reward for a lifetime of forgiveness. The picture is almost cinematic: a person in their seventies who has made peace with everyone, hugged it out, and tied every loose end into a neat bow. It is a lovely story. It ...

Google studied 180 of its teams to find what made the best ones click, expecting talent or structure but found the factor that beat everything was psychological safety: safety to admit a mistake

Google ran the numbers on its own teams probably expecting a clean answer. Put the right people together, and the team will be good. Stack a group with talent, the right mix of personalities, the right seniority, and performance follows. Then they checked. Over roughly two years they studied 180 of their own teams, ran ...

Europe’s new tech-sovereignty plan doesn’t ban U.S. cloud giants — it sets four levels of “sovereignty” for sensitive government data, and an American law makes the top levels nearly impossible for them to reach

On June 3 the European Commission proposed the Cloud and AI Development Act, which grades cloud providers on four sovereignty levels for public-sector data. The rules stop short of a ban, but the Commission’s own tech chief says U.S. firms will struggle to reach the highest tiers because of the U.S. CLOUD Act. Read more

There’s a reason “I’ll start Monday” keeps working — researchers found people are measurably more likely to hit the gym, start a diet, or set a new goal right after a fresh week, month, or birthday

A 2014 study tracked years of diet searches, hundreds of thousands of gym visits, and tens of thousands of goal commitments and kept finding the same pattern: the urge to chase a goal spikes right after a clean line on the calendar. Here is what that does — and does not — explain. Read more
