There’s a LOT going on as researchers and public health experts race to respond to the Ebola Bundibugyo outbreak in DRC and Uganda before it grows bigger. Some really important questions still open, but also a few answers coming into view🧪 My overview in @science.org is here (and thread coming):

Scientists play catch-up to startling Ebola outbreak

Testing, sequencing, and clinical trial efforts spring to life as Bundibugyo virus spreads

Besides US bigtech, Huawei is hiring countless top #mathematicians in Europe. Why are the global European players too blind to see that true innovation will be driven from the foundational level, not just from applied engineering? So much talent here, but so little ambition in corporate strategy.

I don't see a future for human writers where we just paste together AI summaries of articles we did not spend any time grappling with in a way that stokes thoughts in our own heads. Doing the thinking is the whole point.

Enterprise IT: Technical debt that has accumulated over decades cannot be resolved simply by adding a thin layer of agentic AI on top. I am not against using it. People just need to understand its capabilities and limitations.

Demand for software development and programming is overall going down - not true though for some specific skills. In the long run the demand for mathematical modeling and formal methods skills will go up as the AI playground will only last for a while.

The above skype can be seen as a tl;dr of this awesome paper, the best philosophy one I've been on, because the other two authors are actually philosophers (which is also why it's not immodest to say it's great; I didn't do much!) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... #AIEthics #anthropomorphism

Do We Collaborate With What We Design?

This article critically assesses the accuracy and desirability of using terms like “collaboration” to describe interactions between humans and AI systems. This article concludes that we cannot collab...

Preprint time: “Shannon invariants: A scalable approach to information decomposition” arxiv.org/abs/2504.15779 Studying information in complex systems is challenging due to difficulties in defining multivariate metrics and ensuring their scalability. This framework addressed both challenges!

Shannon invariants: A scalable approach to information decomposition

Distributed systems, such as biological and artificial neural networks, process information via complex interactions engaging multiple subsystems, resulting in high-order patterns with distinct proper...

Google just quietly killed its 7-year plan to kill third-party cookies. A strategic U-turn of historic proportions—and a blow to web privacy. It’s not just a product change. Let's hope it's not a sign of impending privacy deterioration. blog.lukaszolejnik.com/google-wont-...

Google won’t kill third-party cookies after all

This may well be one of the greatest strategic and business U-turns of the century: backtracking on a project more than seven years in the making, and an attempt to reshape an entire web ecosystem and...
