People who keep the same four or five books on their nightstand for years without ever finishing them aren’t disorganised, they’ve built a small stack of objects that quietly means the day is allowed to end

The pile of unread books next to the bed isn't a failed reading list — it's a small architecture of objects doing the emotional work of ending the day. Here's what psychologists understand about why we keep the same books nearby for years without ever finishing them.

Почему чистые диффузоры в кино — это тупик и куда должна развиваться генерация видео

Сегодня хочу разобрать тему нейросетей для генерации видео. В соцсетях довольно много вижу нейрослоп-сериалов и думаю, что должен что-то сказать по этому поводу.Я, конечно, не AI-инженер, но примерно понимаю, как это всё работает. В этой статье я разберу, как работают диффузорные ИИ-модели, чем они хороши и чем плохи, а также как можно было бы решить их проблемы. Читать далее Read more

Как работать с ИИ-агентом предсказуемо: SDD, TDD, самопроверка и субагенты

ИИ-агент может читать и менять файлы, запускать сборку, тесты и команды терминала. Сам доступ к инструментам не гарантирует, что агент правильно понял задачу и проверил написанный код. Эта статья подготовлена по третьему вебинару разработчиком агента Михаилом Костицыным о работе с ИИ-инструментами. Первые два вебинара были посвящены уровню компании и уровню проекта. Теперь разберем уровень пользователя: как построить личный процесс, в котором постановка задачи, реализация и проверка связаны в воспроизводимы Read more

What sense can we make of the madness at id Software?

In a grim week for the games industry where Microsoft laid off 1,600 people (with 1,600 further job cuts hanging over the heads of Xbox employees) one decision stood out as especially egregious. Id Software, developer of Doom and Quake, was forced to lay off 136 people – more than half of its workforce. Read more Read more

Neurologists increasingly point to ultra-processed foods as the single largest modifiable risk factor for cognitive decline — and the mechanism runs through the gut, not the brain

Alzheimer's deaths have risen more than 140% since 2000 while other major killers have fallen. A new wave of gut-brain research points at a culprit hiding in plain sight in the supermarket aisle — and the damage begins nowhere near the brain. Read more

In a 1978 study of major lottery winners, researchers found that within about a year the winners rated their daily pleasures — a good meal, a morning coffee — measurably lower than people who had never won a cent

Philip Brickman's 1978 Northwestern study tracked 22 Illinois lottery winners and found that within a year, they rated ordinary pleasures — coffee, conversation, a good meal — lower than people who had never won. The finding launched the concept of the hedonic treadmill. Read more

On Earth your inner ear works every second of your life so quietly you never feel it — but in orbit there is no gravity left for it to measure, so it simply falls silent and the brain rebuilds around the loss

The vestibular system in each inner ear works a thousand times a second for a human lifetime without ever asking to be noticed. In orbit it goes silent, and the brain performs one of the fastest rewirings in adult neurology — a rewiring that reverses, painfully, the moment the capsule lands. Read more

They just receded on their own, and the strange part is they receded most not in the cheaper country but ... Read more Read more

Most people assume Dubai became rich from oil, but oil now accounts for less than 1% of the emirate’s GDP — down from 50% in the 1980s — with tourism, trade, and aviation doing the work instead

Dubai is routinely treated as an oil city because it is wealthy, Gulf-based and visually associated with the wider United Arab Emirates. Its economy now looks very different. Trade is its largest directly measured sector, while finance, transport, property, tourism and aviation carry much of the rest. The familiar claim that oil has fallen from ... Read more Read more

Psychology says people who remain kind despite a difficult life aren’t weak or in denial — they’re often running on a kind of strength that only forms under sustained pressure, the way certain metals do

“Table seven, one cover.” That was the line that used to make my floor staff sigh. One cover means a single diner. Somebody eating dinner with nobody across from them.
