Psychology says people who struggle in classrooms but excel at reading a room, fixing an engine, or sensing what someone needs aren’t slow learners, they’re often operating in a form of intelligence the traditional school system was never designed to measure

There’s a particular word that gets stapled to certain kids early and never fully peels off. Slow. It shows up in report cards, in that lowered voice at parent evening, in the little sigh a teacher lets out before saying your name.

People who wash a mug the moment they set it down aren’t tidier by nature — they’ve figured out, often without articulating it, that some small tasks get heavier the longer you leave them alone

In 1859, a solar storm now called the Carrington Event pushed auroras as far south as Cuba and induced currents so strong in North American telegraph lines that operators disconnected their batteries and kept sending messages using only the electricity coming out of the sky

On September 1, 1859, a solar flare witnessed by Richard Carrington triggered a geomagnetic storm so powerful it lit up the tropics with auroras and let North American telegraph operators send messages using only current induced by the sky. Read more

General Intuition just raised $320M on a thesis that sounds absurd — that video game data, not real robot telemetry, will produce the GPT of embodied AI

General Intuition, a startup building what it describes as a foundation model for embodied AI, has raised $320 million at a $2.3 billion valuation on the thesis that robotics is approaching the same inflection point language AI crossed with GPT-3. The company's approach — training on millions of hours of video game data rather than real-world robot telemetry — was detailed by TechCrunch this week. Read more

When British firms trialled a four-day week for the same pay, the real surprise was not output but the people: burnout fell for 71 percent of staff, and nearly nine in ten companies kept the shorter week long after the trial ended

Whether the shorter week would hurt productivity had a fairly predictable answer. What it would do to people did not. We are writers ... Read more Read more
