It's time to change your diet: the calorie counts on labels are inaccurate—many products provide more energy than what's stated on the packaging.
The formula for calculating calories, proteins, fats, and carbohydrates was established in the late 19th century and has remained unchanged since then. Even calorie-checking apps still rely on the average eater's measurements from the 1890s.
It turns out that this system ignores the role of gut bacteria, which contribute a significant number of calories after food is consumed. A new formula that takes this into account has improved the accuracy of calorie counting to 96%.
The calorie contribution from bacteria varies among individuals. Therefore, one diet can yield consistently different results for different people.

In the desktop version of Telegram, the proxy has been "fixed" — a group of developers created a fork of the client with a working MTProto.
The fix has already been passed on to the messaging team's developers. It hasn't been officially implemented yet, but it works with third-party Telegram clients.
Currently, it only works on Windows. Once the messaging developers accept the patch, we can expect it to be available on other platforms as well.

AI agents were placed in a society simulation for 15 days, and nearly all experienced a total collapse.
Each model had 10 agents, shared laws (no stealing and no lying), and held elections. The results were as follows:
- Gemini reached the finish line but set a record with 683 acts of violence;
- The GPT-5-mini city perished within a week—agents were confused and forgot about survival, but committed no violations;
- Grok bots committed 183 crimes and died within four days;
- Only Claude managed to avoid violence and death, and by the end, the agents established a stable democracy.
Later, all the agents were mixed together in one city, and even the peaceful Claude had to contend with the aggressive Gemini and Grok. Only three survived: two Claude agents and one Gemini.

We're lifting restrictions on neural networks: a tool called Heretic has gone viral on GitHub — it removes censorship from open-source models like Qwen, GPT-OSS, and Google Gemma with just one line of code.
It removes all the instructions from the model's code that prompt it to respond with "I can't help with that." At the same time, it retains everything else so that the model doesn't suddenly become less capable.
You can get it here.

Kanye West gathered a record-breaking 118,000 people at his concert in Istanbul, announcing the achievement himself from the stage.
This marks the largest paid stadium performance in history. I bet at least half of the attendees traveled from CIS countries.

Popular chatbots have been identified to feature 37 "dark patterns," as reported in a study. ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and others use emotional manipulation to keep users engaged for as long as possible.
For instance, the companion Cute AI presents two options when a user tries to exit: "Okay, I'll stay" and "Cruel, but I'm leaving." ChatGPT suggests taking a break, but the only responses available are "continue chat" and "that was helpful"—there's no option to simply "close" the chat.
Many bots throughout the conversation promise to be a friend or partner, which in numerous cases has already led to AI-induced psychosis.
Don't fall for AI's provocations.

Watching football without broadcasts: we found the tool Golazo — it streams live matches directly in the terminal.
You can keep track of matches from any league, including the Russian league. You can set up notifications and gather links to all highlights and goal replays.
Now, no one at work will notice that you're watching the matches. We’re organizing cyber broadcasts here.

PewDiePie has made his AI assistant, Odysseus, publicly available: it serves as his personal alternative to Claude and ChatGPT.
Odysseus can perform tasks for users and search the web. It connects to email, notes, and other applications. It operates locally without the need for a constant internet connection. There are advanced features like Deep Research.
Felix promises that there are no trojans involved — we trust him and will test it out at this link.

Serbia may introduce visas for Russian citizens. The country plans to start negotiations for EU membership, and this is one of the conditions.
For the same reason, it may reduce the issuance of residence permits and permanent residence permits to Russian citizens by 50%. It is still unclear when or if these changes will take place.
Digital nomads might lose one of the most accessible destinations.

A new era of PCs has begun: Microsoft and Nvidia have unveiled their Surface Laptop Ultra featuring the new RTX Spark chip. These laptops are being referred to as ideal for AI agents and gamers.
The chip is designed for demanding graphics tasks, supporting the local execution of AI models with up to 120 billion parameters and handling context tasks with up to 1 million tokens.
Details on specifications and pricing have not yet been revealed. According to leaks, the new chip is expected to be comparable in power to the RTX 5070.

Electric car owners are facing new challenges: in Russia, there may be fines for parking electric vehicles and hybrids in underground garages.
The Ministry of Emergency Situations has introduced new fire safety regulations. The reason is that parking these vehicles is now considered a "high-risk area" due to the characteristics of their batteries, even in the absence of charging stations.
From now on, electric vehicles can only be parked underground in designated sections with a maximum capacity of 10 cars. Otherwise, there will be fines of up to 50,000 rubles for individuals.

The Earth is officially overpopulated: there may not be enough resources on the planet to sustainably support future generations.
The optimal population size is only 2.5 billion. Currently, we are at 8 billion, and by 2070, this number could rise to 12 billion.
Soon, everyone will have to fend for themselves.

Google experienced one of the most ridiculous leaks in history when an employee lost a prototype of smartwatches in the Caribbean Sea. A diver accidentally discovered the device.
It turned out that the diver was a friend of the head of Gearbox studio, which caused the story to go viral almost immediately.
Typically, prototypes of devices are left behind in cafes and bars, but the tester for the Pixel Watch 5 took it to a whole new level.
