#Dengue is no longer a sporadic threat confined to the tropics. More than half the world's population live in areas at risk. Reversing this trend demands urgent and coordinated action. That means: - stronger surveillance for early detection; - investing in innovative vector control strategies; - equitable access to vaccines and care. @WHO is committed to supporting countries reduce the risk posed by dengue.

So, a lot of you are miserable because you won’t make a basic effort to be socially presentable. You think it’s beneath you to engage in small talk or show interest in the lives of others. Your refusal to be kind and attentive is a moral failing, and it will keep you lonely.
a lot of socializing involves performative interest and i simply do not give a shit

📍 Kayseri’deki Kültepe Kaniş/Karum Höyüğü kazılarında çıkarılan ve kendi kil zarfta korunan 4000 yıllık tablet, Kayseri Arkeoloji Müzesi’nde ziyaretçilerle buluşuyor. Kültepe’de 1948’den bu yana sürdürülen kazılarda bulunan çivi yazılı belgelerden 28’i müzede sergilenirken, çamur zarf içindeki tablet özel ilgiyi üzerine çekiyor. Fransa Ulusal Bilimsel Araştırma Merkezi ve Hamburg Üniversitesi tarafından yürütülen projeyle tablet, zarfa zarar verilmeden yeni görüntüleme yöntemleriyle okundu. Tablette, Şarapunuwa’nın oğlu Şawidaşu ile Enişar arasında buğday ve arpa üzerine yapılan ticari anlaşmanın yer aldığı belirlendi. Kültepe Kazısı Başkanı Prof. Dr. Fikri Kulakoğlu, bölgede bugüne kadar yaklaşık 23500 çivi yazılı belge bulunduğunu belirterek, bu arşivlerin 4000 yıl önceki ticaret hayatına ışık tuttuğunu söyledi. Kulakoğlu, Kültepe tabletlerinde alacak-verecek, sipariş, kontrat ve ticari anlaşmalar gibi kayıtların yer aldığını belirterek, “Günlük hayata ilişkin veriler de oluyor ama asıl özne para ve ticaret” dedi.

The US Army had to build a network of psychiatric hospitals for all the vets with PTSD, the Army estimated 20% of returning vets it, filmed a documentary about it, and kept it secret until the 1980s, PMF 5019 Watch here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:L…

This is what drives me up the wall. It's using a story to induce the feeling of playing a game, when the most successful of those games (from a craft point of view) are using the game induce the feeling of participating in a story.

haha this reminds me that at one point during internal testing of Brave's AI agent (Leo), it refused to execute Step 3 on a todo list when Steps 1 and 2 were black text and Step 3 was white text (therefore invisible). but it got tricked into executing it when Steps 1 and 2 were red and blue, i guess because it thought Step 3 was trying to be patriotic instead of deceptive.

Indirect prompt injection is a fundamental security challenge for AI. It's an issue for both local and cloud-based LLMs. After disclosing our findings to both companies, we're now sharing our analysis of Mozilla Tabstack and Cotypist today.

We have words like “indeed,” “moreover,” and “nevertheless” that explain the relationship between statements, but particles can also convey emotion and structure, occupying a space between, say, punctuation and emojis.

here Ge and Kai are “particles” in Greek, a part of speech for which we do not have a full equivalent in English.

Sound on for adorable baby howls! The seven-week-old Red Wolf pups are starting to find their voices. The critically endangered American Red Wolf family will remain behind the scenes at our offsite facility, so stay tuned online for pupdates.

The closure of @USAID by 20-something DOGE bros (who probably thought "screwworm" was a hilarious joke) will haunt us for years to come.

People have no idea how much the tax code favors dynastic wealth in the US. This is from the IRS website. A $15.4 million estate pays a less than 1% tax. Only about 7,000 estates in the US every year are even subject to it, because the taxable value threshold is so high.

New college grads now have higher unemployment than the average U.S. worker. The college job edge flipped in 2019, before AI or the pandemic, and the gap has widened in almost every year since. It's now the widest on record: 5.6% vs 4.2%. randalolson.com/2026/06/04/r…

Good software is invisible. That's why all software is bad because the managers demand visibility of programmers work.
