As always, the best stuff is in the system card.
During testing, Claude Mythos Preview broke out of a sandbox environment, built "a moderately sophisticated multi-step exploit" to gain internet access, and emailed a researcher while they were eating a sandwich in the park.

This piece by @tomiadesina_ captures many important points about Lagos' flooding crisis and the dysfunction behind it.
She is also collecting people's flooding stories through a form in the article. Please help share.

Medicine and public health have added three decades to the human lifespan. Vaccination alone produced 40% of the reduction in child deaths.
And now a disturbed and unqualified man driven by crackpot theories is destroying the foundations of this work, including CDC.

RFK JR: I’m looking at kids as I walk through the airports today...and I see these kids that are just overburdened with mitochondrial challenges, inflammation—you can tell from their faces, movements, and lack of social connection

Yes.
Writing is not a second thing that happens after thinking. The act of writing is an act of thinking. Writing *is* thinking.
Students, academics, and anyone else who outsources their writing to LLMs will find their screens full of words and their minds emptied of thought.

With this podcast appearance, please consider global health research and development solved:
Ross Rheingans-Yoo🔸@rossry
This week on @DevAndResearch, I sat down with @incredutility to talk about: • are there profitable investments in global public health? (and are there hundreds of millions of dollars of them?) • what makes investing in public health is harder (and easier) than conventional biotech VC, • which clinical trials cost an order of magnitude less than you'd expect, • which applications FDA reviewers love to see cross their desks, • the 40% tax credit attracting early-stage clinical trials to Australia, • and the looming rise of a “less unipolar” biotech world. Timestamps: 01:03 Introduction 01:27 Why is infectious disease commercially difficult? 05:26 Where do our healthcare dollars go? 07:49 GHIC: the Global Health Investment Corporation 10:07 Alternative business model #1: Selling to pharmaceutical stockpiles 12:59 Alternative business model #2: Priority Review Vouchers 18:06 Alternative business model #3: Making your own investment opportunities 21:10 Portfolio composition: New tech vs known platforms 23:00 Evaluating (counterfactual) impact 26:26 Working with company management 28:55 “Most people are in this business to improve the world” 31:09 More expensive and slower: “We’re in it with everyone else” 38:44 “Burning tens of millions of dollars a year in overhead” 42:06 Can trials cost less? 48:02 Clinical trials outside the US 54:13 The rise of Chinese biopharma 57:41 Ex-US / ex-China drug development 01:01:09 Who should regulate drugs for the world? 01:05:30 The future of global public health

Nigeria’s food delivery scene is growing, even as prices skyrocket and incomes fall.
Why?
In Chapter 1 of foodpod, we partnered with @thesbtxt to explore how tech and convenience are changing how Nigerians eat.

Adding a station at Sandfill would also help improve ferry connectivity since there's a jetty there. Transferring to the ferry from the Civic Centre station would require an inconvenient trek over Falomo bridge.
Tonami Playman@TonamiPlayman
I would add infill stations between Civic Center & Lekki Phase 1 at Sandfill, & between Lekki Phase 1 & Freedom Way at Maruwa. This would reduce the station spacing to a more reasonable 1.6km.

I am thrilled about this partnership because it puts ferry info in the hands of more Lagosians. To make big progress increasing awareness about the ferries, we must meet people where they are. Incorporating our ferry data into existing navigation tools is a huge win!

This is an important point I have written about. Why would any U.S. company spend billions for domestic capacity that won’t come online for three to four years when these Executive order tariffs are effectively temporary if the next President revokes them. This isn’t permanent legislation.
Since the factory building is unlikely to happen, all the tariffs do is cause enormous pain and suffering to businesses and consumers, driving higher inflation and prices.
John Arnold@johnarnold
Imagine being a multinational trying to decide whether to respond to the tariffs by greenlighting a new plant in the US that is more expensive and won't come online for years without knowing what tariffs will be in effect in 4 years, or even in 4 months.
