Believe it or not, we’re spending less time in meetings than we used to

stp2y0 CommentsRAG models
We're spending less time in meetings than just a few years ago. Yet, like a dieter who's cut a few pounds but can't see it, our extra free time isn't always obvious.According to Reclaim.ai, which makes an AI-powered calendar app, desk workers' time in meetings has dropped to 14.8 hours a week in 2024 from 21.5 hours a week in 2021. That's a 31% decrease, according to data from 1,300 workers it surveyed.That reduction might surprise those of us who twitch when we hear a meeting reminder go off. Of course, many people are still beholden to too many calendar…

The last time we traveled as a family of 6, we spent $6000. I refuse to make the same mistake this summer.

Last summer, my family of six went on vacation to a Florida beach. We hadn't been on a "real vacation" since before the pandemic. Despite having free flights by using credit card rewards, between the rental car, food (most of which we prepared and ate at the rental), and condo costs, as well as limiting our vacation to five days instead of a week, we dropped close to $6000.Summer has barely started, and my social media feed is flooded with friends and family members' vacation pics. Unlike them, we will not be going on vacation this year.Instead, we've figured out…

The best songs this summer sound like total nonsense. That’s a good thing.

This time last year, I woke up every morning and played "The Record" by boygenius from top to bottom.After that album ended with "Letter to an Old Poet," a song about mourning a toxic relationship and pleading with the moon for a scrap of happiness, I'd usually chase with tracks by Mitski, Noah Kahan, or Ethel Cain, who tend to write somberly about loneliness, depression, and occasionally murder.Now, in a delightful twist, I wake up every morning and listen to Charli XCX's "Brat" — or, as she puts it, "365 party girl, bumpin' that."Charli's sixth studio album is a buffet…

I’m a hair health expert, and I want men to stop blaming their fathers for thinning hair. Genetics is only half the story.

I’m a hair health expert, and I want men to stop blaming their fathers for thinning hair. Genetics is only half the story.

I often think about my father's impact on my life — from cultivating an adventurous mindset and entrepreneurial spirit to influencing how I now parent my son.For many men, one of these reflections — as once was mine — is something seemingly trivial yet profoundly impactful: their hairline. When my hair started thinning in my 20s, I feared I was taking after my father, who's mostly bald.It's a common cultural assumption that we inherit our hair fate from our fathers. But as someone who dedicated nearly a decade to understanding hair health, I now believe we shouldn't blame our dads…

Is Big Tech wrong to train AI models on ‘messy’ public data? A chat with synthetic data evangelist Ali Golshan.

Is Big Tech wrong to train AI models on ‘messy’ public data? A chat with synthetic data evangelist Ali Golshan.

Companies at the forefront of the technology, like OpenAI, Meta, and Google, are scouring the internet and troves of books, podcasts, and videos searching for data to train their models.Some industry leaders, however, worry this kind of "land grab" for publicly available data isn't the right approach, especially since it puts companies at risk of copyright lawsuits. Instead, they're calling for companies to train their models on synthetic data.Synthetic data is artificially generated rather than collected from the real world. It can be generated by machine learning algorithms with little more than a seed of original data.Business Insider chatted with…

Warning: Major spoilers for the book "Fire and Blood," the first two episodes of "House of the Dragon" season two, and potential spoilers for future episodes of the show.Rhaenyra Targaryen seems like the better choice to rule Westeros in "House of the Dragon" season two to most viewers, but her story may be going down a dark path if the series strictly follows its source material.Rhaenyra (Emma D'Arcy) was the named heir to the Iron Throne in "House of the Dragon" season one, but the Hightower family usurped the throne to prop up the former king's eldest son, Aegon II…
