on: How much energy does it take to think?
What about how much energy is needed to not to think?
Some people that struggle with overthinking, the approach of thinking definitely is different from how we think when working on something. So is the energy used is different as well?

on: Magnus Carlsen might walk away from classical chess
Honestly, I'm not a huge fan of chess, and I don't know much about the different rules or playstyles. However, I’ve come across some of Magnus’s videos before. I admire his confidence in his abilities, but I know some people don’t like him, thinking he has a high ego and can come off as cocky at times. While many may be happy to see his recent loss to Rukesh, there’s no denying he’s been the best for so long. Maybe he hasn’t found someone who excites him in classical chess, someone at his level.
After all, being unbeatable can be a lonely place.

on: Apple Notes Expected to Gain Markdown Support in iOS 26
This might be the stepping stone toward AI integration, as I believe every phone will soon come with an AI agent that helps execute multiple tasks and manage files internally. Just like Eddy Cue, Apple’s senior VP of services mentioned, the future of phones will look very different from what we know now.
I expect it has more function like converting to other formats.

But when come to phone, webapp is much more troublesome to use, not friendly for phone user. But after all, it’s the lifestyle that you choose that decide it.

on: Why I Use a Dumbphone in 2025 (and Why You Should Too)
I know someone who doesn’t use food delivery apps, doesn’t shop online, and lives very minimally. For them, a dumbphone works just fine.
But for most of us, life is already deeply tied to apps: banking, transport, messaging, work. A lot of things aren't even optional anymore — many services expect you to use an app.
Once you go convenient, it’s really hard to go back. You don’t just lose access to entertainment — you lose infrastructure.

on: LLMs get lost in multi-turn conversation
The more we chat, the more irrelevant details pile up. For example, a small mention early on might get repeated or build on itself, leading to a lot of unnecessary context.
As the conversation continues, it becomes harder for the model to focus on the main point because it gets tangled in all the extra information. Unlike humans, who can intuitively filter out the noise, LLMs struggle to keep track of what’s truly important in longer, more complex exchanges.

on: EU ruling: tracking-based advertising [...] across Europe has no legal basis
The ruling today shows how consent pop-ups used by tech giants like Google and Amazon have been misleading Europeans, turning GDPR into a nuisance rather than a protection.
With real-time bidding and tracking cookies at the heart of online ads, it’s clear that the entire system needs a serious overhaul.
But how will this ruling change the game for advertisers? Will they actually be forced to respect privacy, or will we just see more ways to sidestep the rules?
