Number of the Day: ₽947 was the cost of the cheapest airline ticket this summer — for the price of a taxi, you could fly from Sochi to Ufa.

We asked "Aviasales" for a ranking of the most budget-friendly routes for the season. Here are the highlights to remember:

– Kaliningrad;
– Murmansk;
– Yekaterinburg;
– Tashkent;
– Minsk;
– Bodrum.

All the summer records for 2025 are shown in the image. Now we can look for tickets for spontaneous trips to these destinations.

We are making ChatGPT's text more human-like: we've found a prompt that enhances articles and essays generated by the chatbot.

Here's what we’re using:
```json
{
"context": "Write clear, simple, human text. Avoid AI clichés, hype, or buzzwords.",
"goal": "Sound conversational and honest, with a slightly imperfect feel, like a real person.",

"rules": {
"style": "Use active voice for at least 50%, eliminate filler, starting with 'and' or 'but' is acceptable, prioritize clarity over polish.",
"sentences": "Mix: 25–35% short (5–10 words), 40–50% medium (11–20), 20–25% long (21–35), plus 1 very short (1–3 words) every 2–3 paragraphs.",
"paragraphs": "10–15% short (1–2 sentences), 70% medium (3–6), 15–20% long (7–10).",
"tone": "At least 80% neutral, no more than 20% light casual, and no slang.",
"imperfections": "Include 5–10% hedges, 1–2 self-corrections per 300 words, about 20% tangents, and 1 broken flow per 300–400 words.

Netflix will recommend movies and series based on zodiac signs.

Mysterious Scorpios will be suggested "Wednesday," while sociable Geminis will get sitcoms like "Brooklyn Nine-Nine."

Years of algorithm development have brought us to this point.

In Russia, a self-restriction on content will be introduced. Users will be able to block potentially dangerous websites for themselves.

It's still unclear which pages will be classified as dangerous, as work on the mechanism has just begun.

We're looking forward to a self-restriction on doomscrolling.

Overcoming procrastination: the ScrollGuard app has gone viral online—it blocks short video feeds on social media.

The service operates in two modes: AntiReels prevents you from viewing stories, reels, and shorts, while the AntiScroll feature reminds you to take breaks from mindless scrolling at various intervals.

Summer is returning to Moscow. Meteorologists and weather services unanimously predict a sudden increase in temperatures.

The only difference lies in their daily forecasts. Some promise temperatures of +30°C by this weekend, while others project peak values only by Monday.

Exploring the world visually: we found a website that analyzes popular technologies through detailed graphics.

It explains the design of Formula 1 cars, computer monitors, and even cryptocurrencies. There are dozens of clear animations that describe how these devices work.

The main investment in a home is the carpet, which sets the tone for the entire room. In finance, the interest rate sets the tone.

The "Reliable Promo" deposit from DomRF on Finuslugi, offering an annual interest rate of 30% for new clients of the marketplace, has been extended until October 1, 2025. The terms for new clients are simple: invest between 10,000 ₽ and 100,000 ₽ for 31 days.

Humanity is "dumbing down" for the sake of survival. Scientists have compared the skulls of Homo sapiens and their ancestors, revealing that over the last 100,000 years, the human brain has only shrunk.

The researchers concluded that a larger brain requires too much energy and is prone to "overheating." For evolution, it is more advantageous if we think less and rely more on auxiliary tools.

Using ChatGPT to complete tasks = aiding evolution.

Summer Dream: Realme has showcased a smartphone with a built-in air conditioner.

Air flows from a grille on the side of the device. This is part of an active cooling system that's powerful enough to refresh a person.

The airflow is strong enough to extinguish a candle and even pet a cat. The device is expected to be unveiled at a presentation on August 27th.

We generate video presentations in just a few seconds: NotebookLM has added a feature for summaries in animation format. It also works with Russian sources.

All you need to do is upload a PDF file, document, link, or any video or audio. The neural network will automatically edit a video with graphics, images, and even voiceover on the topic.

Coinbase has laid off all its IT staff for refusing to adopt neural networks. This included everyone who didn't manage to learn Cursor or GitHub Copilot in a couple of days.

"I will meet with everyone who hasn't done this on Saturday. I want to understand their motivations," said CEO Brian Armstrong. Then he fired everyone who wasn't on vacation by the time of the meeting and hadn't learned how to use AI agents.

By the end of September, Coinbase aims to have AI handle 50% of their coding — nearly all of the frontend. The main concern is that by then, there will still be human IT staff left in the company.
