In 1911, an Oklahoma auto dealer named Clyde Cessna taught himself to fly by crashing his hand-built monoplane at least thirteen times on the salt flats of northern Oklahoma, because there were no flight schools within reach, no manuals worth trusting, and no one nearby who had flown one and could tell him what he was doing wrong

Before there were flight schools west of the Mississippi, a Kansas farmer named Clyde Cessna assembled a mail-order monoplane and taught himself to fly by breaking it, rebuilding it, and trying again. The method that eventually produced the world's most-built light aircraft company began as a crash loop in an Oklahoma salt flat.

Опыт моего общения с «близняшками» (ИИ Gemini от Google)

Эта статья изначально была написана как комментарий к переводу от Анатолия Ализара "Ненависть к ИИ", но в какой-то момент я понял, что для комментария информации слишком много, и решил поделиться своим опытом общения с "близняшками" в отдельной статье.Пока одни ненавидят ИИ в целом и все его проявления в частности, другие начинают его использовать, и не только в работе. Близняшкам можно поручать задачи, упрощающие бумажную работу. Можно попросить преобразовать найденную информацию... Read more

Adults with no close friends are not necessarily incapable of intimacy — attachment research suggests some have learned to manage its risks by limiting disclosure, dependence and closeness, keeping people distant enough that rejection feels less dangerous

An adult can be personable, attentive and capable of affection while still having nobody they would call a close friend. That absence is often read as evidence of poor social skills or a lack of interest in other people. Sometimes it may be. In other cases, the more useful question is not whether the person ...
