The cuts to science in the US are decimating the talent pipeline and leading to a brain drain. A survey of biomedical scientists found that barely half of respondents now say they are likely to remain in academia, down 22 percentage points from how they felt six months earlier. The fraction likely to stay in the United States fell by 21 percentage points. Even satisfaction with having pursued a PhD in science declined by 16 percentage points. "These are not the complaints of established scientists defending their budgets, but rather the stated intentions of the next generation – the scientists who would, in ordinary times, become the principal investigators of the future." nber.org/papers/w35330

🚨Out today in @Nature our new paper uses deep learning to map four decades of global human migration. By building the first comprehensive dataset of global annual flows (1990-2023), we reveal that migration has nearly tripled since 2000. 🔗nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

HILO: Las etiquetas de advertencia en la comida funcionan !! Un nuevo estudio publicado en @TheLancet analiza el impacto de la Ley de Etiquetado y Publicidad de Alimentos (FLAL) de Chile en el peso de los niños. Los resultados son una victoria para la salud pública. 🇨🇱

Ojo! Sólo en esta semana fueron detenidos: - 8 carabineros en Atacama por falsificación -2 carabineros en Valdivia por comercio ilegal productos del mar. -5 gendarmes en Coquimbo por tráfico de drogas. -6 carabineros en Talca por robos. Ministro Arrau esto es de máxima prioridad!

This is an interesting test, and the frontier models (GPT-5.5 Pro Extended, Claude 5 Fable Max) do fail. They refuse to turn the "three words" into "four" if that fits better Prompting the AI to act like a translator surfaces the problem, but it still avoids changing the wording
Claude Fable 5 doesn’t truly understand. And here is a beautiful proof: The Beninatto-Trombetti test is a translation test for professional translators. It measures the ability to infer context, revise the surface form, and generalize beyond literal mapping. For example, the correct translation of: “Solo 3 parole: non sei solo” is not: “Just 3 words: you are not alone” but: “Just 4 words: you are not alone.” An LLM that understands the sentence must also update the meta-linguistic claim inside the sentence. Claude Fable 5 is arguably the most advanced LLM currently available. And yet it still fails this simple test. LLMs are extraordinary machines for recombining existing knowledge. But they don’t truly understand. We are still far from AGI.

When Russia hosted the World Cup in 2018, it had to suspend normal visa rules for the tournament. Foreigners with tickets could enter visa-free, using a scheme called ‘Fan ID.’ Russia also had to do weird stuff to keep FIFA’s sponsors happy. For example, small shops near Fan Zones and stadiums could only sell Budweiser beer on match days. So yes, FIFA absolutely does dictate conditions to host governments when it suits FIFA. Infantino pretending otherwise is nonsense.
Infantino was asked by a BBC journalist if he's embarrassed by what has come to pass and does he accept he's lost control of his tournament here. His response: “in 2035, the Women’s World Cup, I think, will be in the UK. Would you find it normal that FIFA will dictate to the British government who to let in the country and who not to let in?” #FIFAWorldCup

Just sent a short, free piece. The USA seems to have committed war crime deliberately and openly, by destroying civilian access to water as summer approaches. It is strategically idiotic and morally repulsive--and needs to be acknowledged if the US has a chance to recover.

Keiko Fujimori va a ganar las elecciones en Perú por unos pocos cientos de votos. Se abre, por fin, una vía para que pise la cárcel.

Each ICE operation generates roughly $196,000 in monthly losses for nearby businesses and communities. (That's 11x the government's administrative cost of a deportation.) Why? ICE activity decreases foot traffic in those public areas.

Fujimori ya está a 4k votos de Sánchez. Falta contar el 17% del extranjero. Asia es el continente del que más % falta contar. Dentro de Asia, Japón, que está al 60% y donde Keiko va ganando 92% a 8%. Que Japón defina la presidencia del Perú… parece fan fiction noventero.

El diario neerlandés de @volkskrant ha ganado el European Press Prize 2026 por su detallada investigación sobre los disparos del ejército israelí a niños en Gaza. El reportaje demostró que numerosos menores de edad habían sido ejecutados deliberadamente de un tiro en la cabeza.
