In medical school, we are taught a golden rule: "When you hear hoofbeats, think horses, not zebras." It is a reminder to look for the common explanation before the exotic one. But after decades in cardiology, I’ve learned that if a patient is still suffering after the "horses" have been ruled out, a doctor must have the courage—and the curiosity—to go hunting for the zebra. Sarah was a thirty-four-year-old marathon runner and a devoted mother who came to me after six months of being told she was "fine." She had been bounced from one specialist to another, each one pointing to her normal EKG and standard blood tests as proof that her crushing fatigue and racing heart were simply the result of "new mom stress." By the time she reached my office, she didn't just look tired; she looked invisible, as if the medical system had stopped seeing the woman and only saw the data. Instead of re-reading the normal test results that had already failed her, I asked Sarah to walk me through her life. We talked about her training and her family, eventually landing on a backpacking trip she took to the Mendoza province of rural Argentina. She described staying in a charming, rustic cottage made of sun-dried mud bricks. She mentioned waking up one morning with a strangely swollen, purple eyelid that she assumed was a simple spider bite. As she spoke, a memory surfaced from a biography I had read years ago about Charles Darwin. Most people know Darwin for his theories on evolution, but medical historians have long puzzled over the mysterious, debilitating illness that plagued him for decades after he returned from his voyage on the HMS Beagle. Darwin had written in his journals about being bitten by the "great black bug of the Pampas" while sleeping in mud-walled huts in South America. He spent the rest of his life suffering from heart palpitations and exhaustion that the Victorian doctors of his time could never explain. I realized then that Sarah wasn't suffering from stress; she was likely hosting the same "silent killer" that may have haunted Darwin: Chagas Disease. The "Kissing Bug" lives in the cracks of those mud-brick walls. It bites its victims—often near the eyes or mouth—while they sleep, passing a parasite called Trypanosoma cruzi into the blood. The danger of Chagas is that the initial symptoms disappear quickly, but the parasite can hide in the body for years, slowly weaving itself into the muscle and electrical "wiring" of the heart. To confirm this, I moved beyond the standard tests. I ordered a specialized "Strain Rate" ultrasound, which doesn't just look at whether the heart is pumping, but at how the individual muscle fibers are stretching. We saw that while her heart looked strong to the naked eye, the fibers were "stuttering," a sign of early parasite-induced scarring. A specific blood test for the parasite's antibodies confirmed the diagnosis. Treatment required a difficult, sixty-day course of anti-parasitic medication to stop the infection, paired with a protective heart regimen to keep her electrical system stable while the inflammation settled. Because we caught it before her heart was physically damaged or enlarged, the recovery was a success. Months later, Sarah returned to my office, her vibrant energy restored. She brought me a leather-bound copy of The Voyage of the Beagle with a note tucked inside. She wrote that while other doctors had looked at her charts, I had looked at her. This case remains a vital reminder for my memoir: in a world of high-tech scans and AI, the most sophisticated diagnostic tool we possess is still the human story. When we truly listen, we don't just find the disease—we find the patient. Good morning.

I need your help urgently. One of my team members, Douye Tungbulu @TunzDev, is going through every family’s worst nightmare. His mother, Tina, is battling stage 4 ovarian cancer. Three days ago, Douye asked for time off, and when I asked why, he told me she was in the hospital fighting for her life. The medical bills are crushing ₦16 million total for her treatment. They’ve already spent ₦1.1 million out of pocket, and yesterday another ₦3.6 million was paid to begin her clinical procedures and first month of treatment. That’s ₦4.7 million down, but there’s still ₦11.3 million to go. Douye is one of the hardest working, very dedicated to work. He shows up every day, delivers excellent work, and never complains. Now he’s watching his mother fight for her life while scrambling to keep her treatment going. If you can donate ₦500, ₦1,000, ₦5,000, anything at all, please do 🙏🏽. If you can’t, please share and retweet this. Time is not on our side. DONATE HERE: 🔗 gofund.me/b584cd616 🔗 oncrowdr.com/explore/c/6966… OR DIRECT TRANSFER: Bank: Palmpay Account: 8075620197 Name: Douye Paul Tungbulu Let’s rally around this family. Let’s help save Tina. #SaveTinaFromCancer @Wizarab10 @aproko_doctor @the_beardedsina x.com/TunzDev/status…

Late last year has been a rollercoaster, and life hasn’t given me a break since I lost my job. But what’s most paramount to me right now is what I’m about to share with you. We found out my mom has ovarian cancer. I was in serious disbelief until more tests showed it’s at stage 4, and nothing has been the same since for her. We’ve already spent a lot on tests and medications to help her regain weight before she starts major treatment. Each day has been pain upon pain for her, and it has broken me into pieces every single day. We’ve spent about ₦1.1M already in total, without the actual procedure even starting. At this stage, we need ₦15.45M for the next four months for her procedure. The diagnosis and cost breakdown are below this tweet. I know this is a crazy situation, but please, I want to save my mom. She called me crying in pain, begging if there’s any way I can help her, and this is my only option at the moment. Please, I’m begging with everything in me, help me. Either by donating or retweeting, it will go a long way. Please, #SaveTinaFromCancer 🙏

SWEs remain incapable of closing their computers and taking a look at what happens in the real world. Else, we wouldn't be reading funny tweets like this. Even if we were to relax the definition of general intelligence, there are many application areas that remain out of reach.
Tyler John in SF 🇺🇸@tyler_m_john

Yeah, after playing with it over the holidays I am inclined to agree. Opus in Claude Code is AGI. Congratulations Anthropic, the "AI dream" that scientists said was literally impossible as recently as the 2010s and Andrew Ng told me would take more than 50 years as recently as 2023 has been achieved. Clarifications: Is Clopus The Big Thing AI companies and the safety community have been talking about since Bostrom 2014? No. It's not a drop-in remote worker. It can't do everything humans can do. It is does not match "the cognitive versatility and proficiency of a well-educated adult." But it's pretty clearly a fully general intelligence. I can just tell it my preferences and it takes on entire projects for me without errors. If there are errors it finds them and fixes them autonomously. You can define intelligence in ways that would exclude Opus from AGI, like requiring certain very extended forms of agency or specific forms of embodied intelligence. But given the commonsense notions of intelligence and generality I think we've crossed the threshold for AGI. As Dean says, this is a remarkable moment. Given the confusion from academic community in recent decades it is worth clear acknowledgement. Brought to you by 4.5 psychosis, probably.

Today in @NatureMedicine we report that AI can predict 130 diseases from 1 night of sleep🛌 We trained a foundation model (#SleepFM) on 585K hours of sleep recordings from 65K people—brain, heart, muscle & breathing signals combined. AI learns the language of sleep🧵

I built a GPU-accelerated linear programming solver in PyTorch that scales to 100k+ variables and constraints -- and is competitive with state-of-the-art solvers. The entire implementation is only ~350 lines (excl. docs / logging) and is meant to be as simple as possible.

Queen • Brand Strategy & Marketing Psychology
A 26-year-old NYSC member exposed an alleged police organ-harvesting ring in Anambra. For that, he was hunted, arrested, tortured, and abandoned. Despite the exposé being published, none of the accused officers were suspended or charged, and the investigation panel’s findings were never released (at least none that I could find). So nothing happened to the officers involved. In fact, this did not stop some of their promotions. Meanwhile, a young man is languishing in prison for the “crime” of telling the truth. He won a global whistleblowing prize. From prison. Where he has sat for almost 3 years, even after a court ordered his release. And while this was happening, the same country have spent more time analysing 2Baba’s marriage to Natasha as if it were a national referendum. If this thread doesn’t make you angry, nothing will. 🧵 Click here for the full story I compiled. Follow the thread for a quick breakdown: queenetwrites.medium.com/nigeria-is-sit…

He’s the only child of his parents, and he’s been sitting in prison for almost three years… tortured, threatened, and moved from cell to cell like a criminal. All because he exposed what he shouldn’t have seen... What he saw and refused to stay quiet. I spent my morning reading through his story. The details are excruciating. This story is not widespread, and that is what makes it even more painful. A young man is fighting for his life, and the country is hardly talking about it. I’ll drop the full story tomorrow. It’s something every Nigerian should see.
