China’s AI boom isn’t producing the next Jack Ma — it’s producing a generation of one-person businesses running on generative agents, and Silicon Valley is misreading what that actually means

In one example from Shenzhen, a former product manager laid off from a major platform company is now running what she calls a business of one, using generative AI to write ad copy, design storefronts, and produce short-form video dramas from a repurposed industrial park where the rent is subsidised by the local government.

Я собрал кнопку, которая сотрёт прогресс всех моих игроков. И до сих пор боюсь её нажать

Два года по вечерам в одиночку пилю текстовую MMORPG в Telegram. Сейчас в ней 1111 аккаунтов и 586 выживших, которые бродят по мрачному острову. И где-то в админке ждёт кнопка, которая сотрёт их прогресс до нуля. Сезонный вайп, как в Rust. Я собрал её, проверил на тестовом сервере и до сих пор не нажал на проде. Рассказываю, почему «стереть всех» это не DELETE FROM, как один разработчик не держит в... Read more

The robotaxi law that could ban Tesla

For more than a decade, one question has loomed over the race to build autonomous vehicles: Are cameras alone enough to safely replace human drivers, or do truly driverless cars need additional, overlapping sensors like lidar and radar to navigate the world reliably? Tesla has bet billions of dollars that artificial intelligence and cameras are […] Read more

Superconducting Thruster Harnesses Earth's Magnetic Field In First Orbital Test

New Zealand startup Zenno Astronautics has completed the first orbital test of its "Supertorquer," a shoebox-sized superconducting magnet system that uses solar power and Earth's magnetic field to help control a satellite without fuel. The company says the technology could eventually support fuel-free satellite maneuvers, docking, deep-space trajectory changes, and even magnetic radiation shielding for astronauts.

Pando is a single quaking aspen in Utah that has cloned itself into roughly 47,000 genetically identical trunks across 106 acres, making it one organism weighing nearly 6,000 tonnes and likely dating back thousands of years, to around the end of the last ice age

In a corner of Utah's Fishlake National Forest, 47,000 white-barked aspen trunks share a single root system and a single genome — making Pando the heaviest known living organism on Earth, possibly older than the last ice age, and quietly being eaten out of existence by mule deer. Read more

Six mental health conditions long treated as distinct from one another may share more biological ground than psychiatry assumed — with three genes emerging as a molecular bridge between two of them

Three genes, one study out this year, six conditions that psychiatry has spent decades treating as unrelated: ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, schizophrenia and insomnia. Researchers publishing in Nature Mental Health traced overlapping molecular threads running under different combinations of the six, using blood drawn from more than a thousand healthy ...

The couples who last into their seventies often aren’t the ones who never fought; they’re the ones who learned which arguments were about something real and which were just exhaustion looking for a target

Here is what is quietly at stake in a long marriage. It is rarely the big, dramatic blowup that ends things. More often it is the slow accumulation of small fights that were never really about what they seemed to be about, the kind that pile up year after year until two people stop reaching ...

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

I am not a psychologist or a doctor, and this should not be taken as advice.

Adding a dollar’s worth of protein powder to a latte is apparently enough to turn a five dollar coffee into a six dollar wellness purchase

I started taking protein powder a few weeks ago, after roughly a decade of treating it the way some people treat cults: intriguing from a distance, definitely not for me.

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
