I let Chat GPT plan my workdays down to the minute for a week — the shock wasn’t my output, it was realizing how much of my old schedule had been performance

By eleven fifteen on the second day, the morning’s writing was done. Not done-for-now, will-come-back-when-I’m-braver. Actually done. The schedule the experiment had me on said to break, eat, walk, and not return to the desk for the producing kind of work. I sat in that pause for longer than I should have. That was the ...

Изолинии как документ и кригинг, которому можно верить

Мы создаем софт для горно-геологических служб калийных рудников, и это третья статья цикла про геостатистику в QGIS: в первой был кригинг на чистом NumPy, во второй - выбор между пятью его видами. Сегодня две темы, которые остались за кадром, а в повседневной работе геолога решают едва ли не больше самой интерполяции. Первая - изолинии: не картинка поверх растра, а документ, который идёт в подсчёт запасов и на печатные планы, со... Read more

Criterion says Burnout isn’t forgotten… but that’s exactly what worries me

Criterion says Burnout remains an important part of the studio's identity, but Battlefield is now its future. While the decision makes perfect business sense after Battlefield 6's success, it also highlights how few true arcade racing games remain today. Read more

John Deere Agrees To 10-Year Right-To-Repair Deal In FTC Antitrust Lawsuit

John Deere has agreed to a 10-year FTC-supervised right-to-repair settlement requiring it to provide farmers and independent repair shops with the same repair resources available to authorized dealers.

I asked ChatGPT to plan my weekends for a month — the surprise wasn’t the free time, it was how little I’d been choosing for myself

I ran a small experiment today. I opened ChatGPT and typed one line: “Based on everything you know about me, plan my weekends for the next month. I am in Ireland. It’s July. Be detailed.” Over months of use, the tool has probably picked up enough context to have a working model of me — ... Read more Read more

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

Somewhere a grandchild is living through the ordinary afternoon they’ll describe, sixty years from now, as the moment they felt most safe — and no adult in the room has any idea it’s happening

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 small child sits on the floor with a pile of pots, banging out a song only she can hear, while a grandmother ... Read more Read more

Older adults who stop dyeing their hair, stop hosting holidays, and stop apologising for going to bed early aren’t giving up, they’re finally letting go of the performance their younger life couldn’t afford to drop

What looks like older adults giving up — letting hair go grey, declining to host, going to bed early — is usually the opposite: the quiet end of decades of social performance that earlier life couldn't afford to drop. Read more

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 ... Read more Read more

A whole generation of parents is learning to be grandparents over video call, holding a phone up to a baby who will know their face perfectly and their smell not at all

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 ...

You’d think an AI copilot would widen the gap between star employees and everyone else but a Stanford/MIT study of 5,000 call-center agents found the opposite: it lifted novices’ output by about 34% and barely moved the veterans, narrowing the skill gap instead

The assumption almost everyone carries about a new tool: it pours rocket fuel on whoever is already at the front. Give the best people a sharper instrument and they pull further ahead. The gap between the stars and everyone else widens. That is the story we have mostly told ourselves about technology and work, and ... Read more Read more

The promise of AI was a worker who never sleeps, never books leave, and never asks for a raise. The reality is messier: for a growing number of firms, the machine meant to replace payroll is starting to look like a payroll of its own

Uber spent its entire 2026 budget for AI coding tools in four months. By April, after an assistant called Claude Code had spread across its engineering teams, the money set aside for the whole year was gone. The company then capped what any single employee could spend on such tools at $1,500 a month. A ... Read more Read more

I am not a psychologist or an economist, and nothing here is advice about your money or your decisions.
