Nobody talks about why the most competent people often feel the least confident, and it isn’t impostor syndrome, it’s that competence was the price they paid for not being noticed too closely

The standard explanation for why high achievers feel insecure is impostor syndrome. But for many, competence was never about pride or achievement. It was a strategy a child invented to avoid being examined too closely — and the strategy outlived its usefulness decades ago.

Id Co-founders Carmack and Romero Respond to Microsoft's Layoffs

"I have been trying to find something meaningful to say about the Id Software layoffs," John Carmack posted Thursday to his 2.8 million followers on X.com: My "Microsoft will probably be a good steward of the brand" statement isn't aging well, and this is certainly going to dampen the mood of the founder reunion at QuakeCon next month. I'm saddened, but I can't muster anger or outrage over it. I... Read more

Магазин отдаёт 200 OK, а денег нет: как проверять приём заказов изнутри WooCommerce

Классический мониторинг отвечает на вопрос «открылась ли страница». Магазин со сломанным приёмом заказов отвечает на него уверенное «да»: витрина рендерится, корзина считает, 200 OK, сертификат валиден. Не работает только одно — деньги не проходят. Шлюз остался в тест-режиме после работ, обновление сломало оформление, растёт доля сорвавшихся оплат — снаружи всё зелёное.Разбираем, как проверять приём заказов изнутри WooCommerce: три сигнала из статистики заказов с порогами, нормированными на собственную норм Read more

Psychology says the people who read everything on social media but never post anything are not the shy ones or the antisocial ones — they are usually the most careful observers in the room, and they have learned that watching quietly gives them information about other people that speaking would immediately take away

The population of people who use social media without posting is much larger than most active posters realise. The Pew Research Center’s 2019 study “Sizing Up Twitter Users,” based on a nationally representative sample of U.S. adult Twitter users, found that the median user posts just twice a month, while the most prolific 10 percent ...

The cost of running a top-tier AI query dropped 280-fold in roughly 18 months — from $20 per million tokens in late 2022 to seven cents by late 2024, a price collapse with no real parallel in the history of computing

The most important AI chart for startups may not be the one showing larger models, higher benchmark scores or billion-dollar training runs. It may be the one showing something quieter: the price of asking a capable model a question has collapsed.

Psychology says people who are known as the quiet one at work aren’t disengaged or unfriendly — they’re often the ones processing every conversation at a depth most people in the room haven’t noticed yet

Most workplaces have one: the person known as the quiet one. They sit through the meeting saying little, offer the occasional short remark, and let others fill the air. It is easy to read that silence as disengagement, aloofness, or simply not having much to add. The psychology of introversion and listening suggests the opposite ... Read more Read more

Two people can eat the identical bowl of pomegranate seeds and only one receives the anti-aging payoff — the difference comes down to a set of gut bacteria the majority of us simply don’t carry

Only a specific set of gut bacteria — Gordonibacter and Ellagibacter species — can convert pomegranate ellagitannins into urolithin A, the molecule longevity researchers link to mitochondrial repair. Most adults don't carry enough of them, which means the same bowl of seeds delivers real anti-aging chemistry to one person and almost nothing to another. Read more
