We picture AI as weightless, but by one 2025 estimate a single year of GPT-4o’s replies may need enough freshwater to cover the drinking needs of 1.2 million people

Every time you type a question into a chatbot, the reply feels weightless. But the machines that produce it run hot, and cooling them takes water. One 2025 estimate does the maths: multiply a single chatbot reply by roughly 700 million a day, across a year, and the water lost to cooling would match a ... Read more

"I don't think we should filter out AI content," Mosseri said during an interview on Lenny Rachitsky's podcast. "I think we should let you know […] Read more

Жертвы чистого кода

В индустрии разработки игр (а может софта и вообще) живёт очень удобная идея, которой многие оправдывают лишние слои логики и абстракции. Звучит она примерно так: «Я хочу, чтобы сам процесс создания игр был проще, приятнее и продуктивнее и готов пожертвовать 10% производительности ради этого» - Тим Суини.Аргумент хорош, обещает за небольшую цену красивых абстракций, паттернов и фичей языка позволить программисту быстрее производить "плохой" код, плохой в смысле медленный, но который...

MBA на минималках «Конфликты в команде, как фактор развития бизнеса»

Конфликты - это то, что обычно очень бояться люди, и бизнес тут совсем не исключение. Именно поэтому, в каждой команде и в каждой компании есть множество скрытых конфликтов, которые не решаются годами, а тихо мешают работать и взаимодействовать сотрудникам друг с другом, лишая бизнес эффективности, и отправляя жизнь людей. Я с этим отчётливо столкнулся на модульном обучение руководителей, когда второй модуль был про деятельность разных отделов в достижении общей цели... Read more

I asked ChatGPT for an honest five-year plan — what came back was less a plan and more a set of harder questions

Every so often you get to a point where the same three or four questions have been circling for months and none of them are getting answered. The kind of questions you already know the shape of. Where to spend the next few years. What to keep and what to cut. What sort of life ... Read more Read more

5 digital minimalism hacks that have made me calmer and less stressed

I did not get calmer by reading grand books about attention or by taking a week-long digital detox in the woods.

Thought of the day by Helen Mirren: “You die young or you get old. There’s nothing in between.”

For most of human history, the average person did not live to see their thirty-fifth birthday. As late as 1900, the global average life expectancy was around 32 years. Getting old — the thing people now complain about, dread, spend fortunes trying to slow — is, in demographic terms, an almost brand-new experience. Many of ... Read more Read more

I use an AI as an external hard drive for my own memory, and the strange part is how much better my thinking got once I stopped asking my brain to store everything

I started using AI as an external memory. Somehow, it made me feel more human — which feels like it should be a bigger contradiction than it is, but here we are. For the last couple of months, my life has felt like pure chaos. Not dramatic chaos, necessarily. Not the kind where one huge ... Read more Read more

When someone reaches retirement age without close friends, the easy assumption is that they must have pushed people away.

Some people arrive in later life without close friends because they were never short on ... Read more Read more

We tend to think using AI well is a technical skill, but the evidence from early adopters suggests it is almost entirely a clarity skill — the people getting extraordinary results are simply unusually clear about what outcome they are actually after

We tend to treat being good at AI as a technical skill, something to do with clever prompts, the right settings and a stock of secret phrases. Watch the people who actually get extraordinary results from these tools, though, and a different pattern shows up. They are rarely the most technical. They are the clearest. ... Read more Read more

Where the internet physically lives is being redrawn, and what’s pulling it isn’t engineers — it’s electricity. Across the industry, the biggest new data-centre campuses are chosen first for access to cheap, plentiful power. The old draw of a nearby talent pool now comes a distant second.

The truth about 10,000 steps a day: the number wasn’t science, it was the brand name of a pedometer a Japanese company launched around the 1964 Tokyo Olympics — and later research finds real health benefits from as few as 4,000 steps

The daily step goal on hundreds of millions of wrists and phones did not come out of a laboratory. It came out of a marketing department. In the mid-1960s, riding the fitness buzz around the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, the Japanese clock and instrument company Yamasa released a step counter called the Manpo-kei. The name means, ...

Carl Jung argued we spend the first half of life building a mask and the second deciding what to do with it — whether we keep performing the role we polished for the world, or begin the harder work of integrating the parts it left out

Carl Jung split a human life down the middle and gave each half a different job. The first half, he said, is spent building something the world can see: a role, a reputation, a face that fits. The second half is spent deciding what to do with all of it. Do you keep playing the ... Read more Read more
