☆ I stayed in a $290-a-night tiny home on an island 5 miles from Singapore. It was smaller than a parking space.

During my three-day visit in August, I stayed at a tiny home by Tiny Away for one night. AdvertisementLaunched by a Singaporean tiny home startup called Big Tiny in May 2023, Tiny Away features five tiny houses that measure around 139 square feet each — or slightly smaller than an average parking space. Tiny Away is currently the only option for those who want to try tiny house living without going abroad. For one, there's a glamping resort on Lazarus Island that offers stays for a similar price to Tiny Away. But Tiny Away strikes me as ideal for guests looking for some solitude or a chance to experience the city-state minus all the high rises.

☆ The dangers of energy drinks and how much caffeine you should consume, according to a doctor

They may think of energy drinks as sports drinks or consider them appropriate for hydration, including for children. Dr. Leana Wen: While there is no standard definition of energy drinks, typically these are drinks marketed to increase attention, alertness and energy. CNN: Are energy drinks the same thing as sports drinks? Those concerned about electrolyte loss, such as endurance athletes and people who have to work outdoors in hot weather, should consider sports drinks — not energy drinks. Energy drinks may offer a quick energy boost, but they have potential risks and are not a good long-term solution.

☆ The US is dismantling nuclear warheads to power next-gen reactors

This fuel is set to power the next generation of America’s nuclear reactors — small, modular power stations that are easier and cheaper to build. They require far less upkeep and physical space than the aging fleet of large nuclear power plants. “In order to meet our energy security needs and our climate goals, we do need significantly more nuclear energy deployed.”The nuclear power industry is increasingly looking to smaller reactors, which run on HALEU. The uranium for conventional reactors is enriched up to 5% and HALEU is uranium enriched between 5-20%. Highly enriched uranium is anything more than 20% and is used in weapons or naval submarines.

That continues a trend from 2023, when generative AI companies raised $25.9 billion for the full year, up more than 200% from 2022. The average round for AI companies is 140% bigger this year compared with last, the data shows, while for non-AI companies the increase is only 10%. Most venture investors are bullish on the potential for generative AI to eventually create big returns at the application layer. John-David Lovelock, an analyst at Gartner and a 35-year veteran of the IT industry, sees a big opportunity for generative AI in the enterprise. Yet, in 2024, only 1% of the trillion dollars spent on software will be from businesses spending on generative AI products, he said.

Most places don't have air conditioning.

Instead, we cranked the metal shutters down early in the morning to keep hot air out and rolled them up at night to let in cool air. We also stayed hydrated, added ice cubes to the cats' water bowls, tried not to use the oven, took cool showers, and ordered a standing fan. It blew my mind to learn that only about one in eight German households use air conditioning.
