People who bypassed classrooms and educated themselves through curiosity often share 8 measurable traits — and psychology says their problem-solving edge isn’t about knowing more, it’s about learning differently

Eight learning habits associated with self-directed learners, framed as observed tendencies rather than a validated test, and grounded in real research: self-regulated learning, metacognition, intrinsic motivation, the testing effect and deliberate practice. Plus what self-teaching tends to miss.

Apple Loses EU Fight Over App Store Gatekeeper Label

Europe's General Court dismissed Apple's challenge to the EU's designation of its App Stores and iOS as "gatekeepers" under the Digital Markets Act. The ruling means Apple remains subject to DMA obligations requiring it to allow alternative app stores, support interoperability with rival services, and avoid favoring its own services over competitors. MacRumors reports: Apple took its case to Luxembourg's General Court in 2024 after the European Commission designated its... Read more â€ș

ChatGPT’s upgraded voice mode is better at shutting up

OpenAI is overhauling ChatGPT's voice mode with a new model that it says is more like "talking to another person."

During a press briefing, OpenAI researcher lead Kundan Kumar called GPT-Live-1 the company's [

Europe Has a Solar Target and Mandate. What It’s Missing Is the Intelligence to Map It. This Startup is Closing That Gap

Europe knows exactly how much solar it wants. Under the EU’s solar strategy, the bloc is aiming for 700 GW of installed photovoltaic capacity by 2030, and a revised Energy Performance of Buildings Directive now carries a mandate to put panels on new and renovated buildings across the continent. The ambition isn’t the problem. The ... Read more â€ș

Thought of the day by Stoic philosopher Marcus Aurelius: “What does not benefit the hive does not benefit the bee.”

Picture the colleague who quietly keeps the best leads for himself. He hits his number every quarter, and for a while it looks like sharp self-interest. Then something shifts. The people around him stop looping him in. The introductions dry up. The favors he used to get without asking now need asking. He optimized for ... Read more Read more â€ș

I don’t have a dramatic reason for the wait. I just assumed one scoop would turn me into someone who says the word “macros” out ... Read more Read more â€ș

People expect marriage to get harder with age, but many couples describe the opposite — a softening that arrives once they stop trying to change each other and start trying to enjoy what’s left

Almost everyone enters a long marriage braced for it to get harder. We are warned about the seven-year itch, the strain of small children, the slow drift of two people growing in different directions. So it is genuinely surprising how many older couples describe the opposite arc. They will tell you, often with a shrug, ... Read more Read more â€ș

Picture a kitchen in the late afternoon. There is the smell of something slow on the stove, onions maybe, or bread. Light comes in low and golden across a worn wooden table.

A lot of men reach their sixties having built their entire sense of usefulness on being the one who fixes things, and the quiet crisis nobody names is what happens to them the year there is finally nothing left to fix.

There is a kind of man who reaches his sixties with an almost immaculate record of usefulness. He fixed the leaking tap. He knew which fuse had gone. He handled the insurance call, carried the boxes, dealt with the mechanic, checked the strange noise in the roof, reversed the trailer, negotiated the builder, and absorbed ...

A quiet revolution has happened in family life over the last few years, and most of us slid into it without ever deciding to. Grandparenting, for a huge number of families, now happens mostly through a screen. A grandmother reads a bedtime story from another time zone. A grandfather plays peekaboo with a baby he ...
