Finland, a country long invaded and overshadowed by its neighbors, built the most trusted education system in the world by doing almost the exact opposite of what everyone else believed worked

Finland did build one of the world’s most admired education systems around trust rather than constant inspection, competition and high-stakes testing. It did not, however, win an objective global title for the “most trusted education system.” No authoritative international league table measures that claim. The more defensible point is also the more interesting one. At ... Read more

Apple Closes Unlocked iPhone Loophole for T-Mobile and Verizon Financing

Carrier-financed iPhones purchased from Apple will soon be locked to the carrier, ending a workaround customers used to purchase an unlocked iPhone on a payment plan. Until the rule change, buying an iPhone from Apple and opting for financing through Verizon or T-Mobile meant you would get an iPhone not locked to either carrier's network. That's no longer the case, and now iPhones financed through Verizon or T-Mobile will not... Read more

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

Washing a mug the moment you set it down isn't about tidiness — it's a small, repeatable act of self-management that hijacks the brain's avoidance circuitry before it has a chance to fire. The psychology of why the tiniest completions carry disproportionate weight. 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

In Britain’s biggest four-day-week trial, 71 percent of employees said they felt less burnt out by the end. That figure, not anything about profit or output, is the one that stands out. 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
