About GÕM

”GÕM” taskuhäälingu eesmärgiks on jagada kahe noore nägemust maailmast ja selle arenemist läbi aja. Saates käivad ka külalised, kelleks on enamasti teised eakaaslased, kelle ideid ja harjumusi lahti mõtestatakse. Taskuhäälingus üritatakse kogu maailm pulkadeks võtta ja sellest aru saada, olgu see maailma juhtide suured otsused või küsimus, ”miks tomat burgeri vahel käib?”. Tegemist ei ole surmtõsise taskuhäälinguga, vaid pigem võetakse asju huumoriga. Kõik on välja mõeldud ja midagi pole juhtunud, millest me räägime!

   E148 - YANDEXi insident HÄVITAS meie kuulajad

   From accessing their money to ordering a taxi or takeout, millions of Russians were feeling the impact of Ukrainian strikes on the data centers (https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/security/data-center-attacks-reveal-new-front-modern-warfare-rcna603002) of the country’s internet giant Yandex (https://www.nbcnews.com/world/russia/drones-hit-yandex-data-center-first-major-attack-russian-data-hub-rcna602241) in their daily life. “I ended up in a situation where I had absolutely no money. Well, I had the money, but it was inaccessible,” said Irina, a blogger from St. Petersburg, who had not been able to access her money for four days when she spoke with NBC News last week. Irina, who like several other people did not want her last name shared while she was speaking with a foreign news organization about a sensitive matter, said her rent was due the day the first outages happened, when she hoped “that it would be fixed in a few hours.” Days later, she still had no access to money to pay for utilities or even food for her small child. The strikes that took place over several days this month were the first publicized attacks on Russian data centers as Ukraine seeks to bring the war home for Russians (https://www.nbcnews.com/world/russia/kremlin-says-ukraine-peace-talks-can-resume-trump-remarks-setback-mosc-rcna345640). The disruption hit myriad services provided by Yandex, a tech giant akin to Google whose services are deeply integrated into daily life in Russia and whose digital infrastructure other third-party platforms rely on. Many people took to social media to complain about not being able to order taxis or food delivery. Others reported not being able to access their files on the company’s storage service, while some even struggled to get into their homes after their digital keys went offline. While most Yandex services have been coming back online, three people told NBC News they had been left locked out of their disposable cash and savings for days after disruptions to Yandex Pay, a digital payment service that many Russians use. Irina, 21, said that in the future she will diversify her deposits across different banks and have a “substantial cash reserve” just in case. Yandex said Oct. 9 (https://yandex.com/company/news/2026-10-09) that no employees were hurt and that it is working to restore service. “Data centers are the iron heart of Yandex,” the statement said. “Their operation is critical for services that have become part of people’s everyday lives.” Anastasiya Mityaeva, 25, who splits her time between Moscow and the southern city of Krasnodar, said she was “shocked” by the outages, which initially left her family worried about being able to pay down their mortgage after her account, her mother’s account and her grandmother’s account were all inaccessible. “The uncertainty was scary,” said Mityaeva, who has 2 million followers on TikTok and is originally from Russian-annexed Crimea. “We realized just how much hangs on Yandex. We did not quite appreciate it before.” Mityaeva, who regained access to her money after several days, also had issues calling a taxi on the first day of the outages and encountered problems with the system to enter her apartment building. Her Yandex home voice assistant, equivalent to an Amazon Echo, stopped responding to requests to play music and turn off the lights. She did not blame the company, saying Yandex was a “hostage of the situation,” adding: “I understand that this was not up to them. This came from the outside.” Others were more critical of the company. Viktoria, 30, a barista from Moscow, said she plans to stop using Yandex completely after she was unable to access her money during the outages, describing it as the last straw after other recent issues. She said Saturday that she once again had access to her money through Yandex Pay but that the service was displaying the wrong balance on her account. Three taxi drivers in Moscow, who use Yandex’s taxi application to take orders and get paid, all told NBC News they could not see how much money they were making and could not withdraw their earnings during the outage. One of the drivers said he has stopped working altogether until the problem gets fixed. He is originally from Kyrgyzstan and did not know why the outages were happening.

   E146 - Eesti ringreis

   I want you to take a look at this baby. What you're drawn to are her eyesand the skin you love to touch. But today I'm going to talk to youabout something you can't see. What's going onup in that little brain of hers. The modern tools of neuroscienceare demonstrating to us that what's going on up thereis nothing short of rocket science. And what we're learningis going to shed some light on what the romantic writers and poetsdescribed as the "celestial openness" of the child's mind. 00:40What we see here is a mother in India, and she's speaking Koro,which is a newly discovered language. And she's talking to her baby. What this mother -- and the 800 people who speakKoro in the world -- understands is that,to preserve this language, they need to speak it to the babies. And therein lies a critical puzzle. Why is it that you can'tpreserve a language by speaking to you and I, to the adults? Well, it's got to do with your brain. What we see here is that languagehas a critical period for learning. The way to read this slide is to lookat your age on the horizontal axis. 01:20(Laughter) 01:23And you'll see on the verticalyour skill at acquiring a second language. The babies and children are geniusesuntil they turn seven, and then there's a systematic decline. After puberty, we fall off the map. No scientists dispute this curve, but laboratories all over the world are trying to figure outwhy it works this way. 01:44Work in my lab is focused on the firstcritical period in development, and that is the period in which babies try to master which soundsare used in their language. We think, by studyinghow the sounds are learned, we'll have a modelfor the rest of language, and perhaps for critical periodsthat may exist in childhood for social, emotionaland cognitive development. So we've been studying the babies using a techniquethat we're using all over the world and the sounds of all languages. The baby sits on a parent's lap, and we train them to turntheir heads when a sound changes -- like from "ah" to "ee." If they do so at the appropriate time,the black box lights up and a panda bear pounds a drum. A six-monther adores the task. 02:25What have we learned? Well, babies all over the world are what I like to describeas "citizens of the world." They can discriminateall the sounds of all languages, no matter what country we're testingand what language we're using, and that's remarkablebecause you and I can't do that. We're culture-bound listeners. We can discriminate the soundsof our own language, but not those of foreign languages. So the question arises:When do those citizens of the world turn into the language-boundlisteners that we are? And the answer:before their first birthdays. What you see here is performanceon that head-turn task for babies tested in Tokyoand the United States, here in Seattle, as they listened to "ra" and "la" -- sounds important to English,but not to Japanese. So at six to eight months,the babies are totally equivalent. Two months later,something incredible occurs. The babies in the United Statesare getting a lot better, babies in Japan are getting a lot worse, but both of those groups of babiesare preparing for exactly the language that they are going to learn. 03:25So the question is: What's happeningduring this critical two-month period? This is the critical periodfor sound development, but what's going on up there? So there are two things going on. The first is that the babiesare listening intently to us, and they're taking statisticsas they listen to us talk -- they're taking statistics. So listen to two mothersspeaking motherese -- the universal languagewe use when we talk to kids -- first in English and then in Japanese. 03:52(Video) Ah, I love your big blue eyes -- so pretty and nice. 03:59(Japanese)
