A MIT-OpenAI study of nearly 40 million chats found the heaviest ChatGPT users reported more loneliness, dependence, and less time with real people, though researchers warn the link is correlation, not cause

In 1991, Cambridge computer scientists got so tired of climbing two or three flights for an empty coffee pot that they rigged up a grayscale camera — and two years later, their tiny office fix became the world’s first webcam

In 1991, Cambridge computer scientists Quentin Stafford-Fraser and Paul Jardetzky pointed a grayscale camera at a coffee pot outside the Trojan Room to spare themselves three flights of stairs — and accidentally built the world's first webcam. Here's how a 128×128 pixel workaround for a mundane annoyance turned into the template for every livestream on the planet. Read more

Today, the brand has showcased the device in the video you can see below. The tablet now seems to be called Legion Y700 Ultimate, but this is also machine translated from Chinese so accuracy is not guaranteed. The tablet comes with a physical SIM slot and... Read more

LLM говнокодит не хуже людей. Только быстрее

Полгода назад я начал писать пет-проект практически полностью с помощью LLM-агентов. Первые недели это был чистый дофамин: фичи вылетали за вечер, я один успевал столько, сколько раньше делала небольшая команда. А потом всё начало вязнуть — ровно так, как вязнет любой проект с говнокодом: каждая новая фича ломала две старые, агент правил код «на ощупь», а я тратил время не на продукт, а на разгребание.Под катом — что я понял...

When someone reaches retirement age without close friends, the easy assumption is that they must have pushed people away. We imagine a cold person, a difficult person, someone too guarded or demanding to build lasting bonds. Psychology suggests another possibility. 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

I have caught myself, more than once, defending a version of me that had already moved on. Something in the way I described what I do, or what I care about, or what I am no longer willing to try, would be a year or two out of date the moment I said it out ... Read more Read more

We assume tech clusters form around talent, but the AI boom is increasingly chasing cheap power — how Northern Virginia, Iowa and Ireland became data-centre capitals

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 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

Psychology says people who feel emotionally lighter within minutes of arriving at the ocean aren’t imagining it — studies show that simply looking at water can lower blood pressure and slow the heart rate in less than two minutes, before a single wave has been heard.

There is a particular feeling that arrives before the holiday has properly started. You step out of the car near the ocean, or reach the end of a street where the water suddenly opens in front of you, and your body seems to loosen before your mind has built an explanation. It can feel sentimental ... Read more Read more

In 2010, a Brigham Young University psychologist named Julianne Holt-Lunstad analyzed 148 separate studies of 300,000 people to compare the mortality risks of various lifestyle factors — and found that chronic loneliness increases a person’s risk of dying early by the same amount as smoking 15 cigarettes a day

In July 2010, three American psychology researchers — Julianne Holt-Lunstad and Timothy B. Smith of the Brigham Young University Department of Psychology in Provo, Utah, and J. Bradley Layton of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Department of Epidemiology — published in the open-access journal PLoS Medicine the substantial 21-page meta-analytic paper “Social ...

In 1979, a Harvard psychologist named Ellen Langer took eight men in their late 70s to a retreat house redecorated exactly like 1959 — old magazines, radio broadcasts, and furniture — and asked them to live as their younger selves for a week, and by the end their eyesight, hearing, memory, and grip strength had measurably improved

In September 1979, at an old converted Catholic monastery in the wooded countryside of Peterborough, New Hampshire — approximately 90 kilometres northwest of Boston, and approximately six months before Ellen Jane Langer would become, in the specific spring of 1981, the first female professor to receive tenure in the history of the Harvard University Department ...

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 ...
