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.

Older adults who start giving away their most treasured things while they’re still alive aren’t being morbid or fatalistic — they’ve simply decided they’d rather watch the joy land in someone’s hands than leave it for a will to hand out once they’re gone.

There is a difference between leaving someone a treasured object and giving it to them. A will can transfer the watch, painting, recipe book or set of tools. It cannot transfer the moment in which the owner places it in another person’s hands, tells the story attached to it and sees whether the choice was ... Read more Read more

[Перевод] Математический танец, скрытый внутри растительных клеток

Жизнь за счёт света — опасная игра. Солнечные лучи не только несут ультрафиолетовые волны, способные разрывать цепи ДНК и разрушать молекулы, но и резко меняют свою интенсивность. Растениям приходится выживать и процветать как в мягком утреннем свете, так и в палящем летнем солнце, то находясь в тени, то под прямыми лучами. Солнечная энергия поступает к ним то тонкой струйкой, то мощным потоком.«Представьте себе, что облако закрывает солнце, а потом вдруг... Read more

Когда в конце 2022 года мир впервые массово услышал о ChatGPT, Ричард Мэнсфилд, автор более 45 книг по компьютерной тематике, уже давно следил за развитием искусственного интеллекта.

A 2004 study found that conditional parental approval can secure compliance while leaving young people driven by pressure, resentment, and unstable self-worth even when the behavior looks successful

In 1994, Edward Deci and Richard Ryan showed that when a parent's warmth becomes contingent on performance, children quietly swap their own preferences for whatever keeps the peace — and the trade often holds for decades. Read more

New Free Speech Concern: When AI Chatbots Won't Criticize Leaders from Repressive Regimes

That's "a key finding from a Meta Oversight Board study released Thursday," their article points out: AI systems are more than twice as likely to refuse to product critical material if it's about a restrictive world leader or government.

The less someone knows about a subject, the more likely they are to overestimate their grasp of it — real expertise tends to bring more self-doubt, not less

Confidence is easiest before the hard part has introduced itself. A person who has just learned the vocabulary of a subject can feel strangely fluent. They know enough to speak, not yet enough to hear what is missing. That is why early certainty can be so seductive in work, leadership, investing, hiring, strategy and technology. ...

We’ve got a lazy story we tell about lonely old people. They got prickly. They pushed everyone away. They turned “difficult.” It’s a comforting story, because it lets the rest of us off the hook. Well, they chose this, didn’t they? Mostly they didn’t. The people I’ve watched get lonely in their sixties and seventies ... Read more Read more

Roughly 80% of the cheese in the US and other major markets is now made with an enzyme produced by genetically modified microbes, not from calf stomachs — and most shoppers have no idea

Since 1990, most of the world's cheese has been made with chymosin produced by genetically modified microbes in industrial fermentation tanks — not traditional calf rennet. The switch was legal, unlabelled, and almost invisible to consumers. Now a new fight over ingredient transparency in the US is about to drag it into the open. Read more
