WorkWorkIran suspends cooperation with UN atomic agency - WSJ (No paywall) Iran said it was suspending cooperation with the U.N. atomic agency, denying international inspectors the chance to assess the damage done by U.S. and Israeli airstrikes on its main nuclear sites and setting up a new clash with Washington and other Western powers. WorkWorkDiddy Verdict: Cassie, 50 Cent And More React - Forbes (No paywall) A lawyer representing Sean Diddy Combs' ex-girlfriend and a key witness in his federal criminal trial, Cassie Ventura, praised her courage for filing a lawsuit that he said paved the way for his eventual conviction on two counts, as some lamented that a jury acquitted Combs on more serious charges.
WorkWorkWorkWorkA Classic Childhood Pastime Is Fading - The Atlantic (No paywall) Walk down a quiet American street a few decades ago, and chances were good that you'd come across a vision of the Spielbergian sort: a gaggle of school-age children charging down the block on bikes, armed with a steely sense of purpose, and without any protective headwear.
WorkWorkWorkWorkWhy it's so hard to use AI to diagnose cancer - MIT Technology Review (No paywall) Peering into the body to find and diagnose cancer is all about spotting patterns. Radiologists use x-rays and magnetic resonance imaging to illuminate tumors, and pathologists examine tissue from kidneys, livers, and other areas under microscopes and look for patterns that show how severe a cancer is, whether particular treatments could work, and where the malignancy may spread.

WorkWhat Trump's massive bill would actually do, explained Republicans are close to passing President Donald Trump's so-called One Big Beautiful Bill, which will cut taxes, slash programs for low-income Americans, ramp up funding for mass deportation, and penalize the solar and wind energy industries.

WorkWorkWorkBootstrapped to $1 Billion: Surge AI CEO Edwin Chen on How He Did It - Inc (No paywall) Even by Silicon Valley's hyper-competitive standards, the past few weeks have provided a generational example of one-upmanship in the AI space. First, in June, the data-labeling startup Scale AI announced that Meta had invested $14 billion in the company, at a near $29 billion valuation. As part of the deal, many Scale AI staffers, including CEO Alexandr Wang, would go to work for Mark Zuckerberg's tech giant. WorkIt's Time for Your Company to Invest in AI. Here's How. - Harvard Business Review (No paywall) How should companies be thinking about investing resources toward AI capabilities? It's no longer a question of whether to build their own capabilities or buy them. Instead, they are looking at four different approaches: build, buy, blend, and partner. Organizations should build when the capability represents core competitive differentiation, their data and domain knowledge create unique barriers to entry, long-term cost efficiency at scale justifies higher upfront investment, or intellectual property protection is essential to their business model. They should buy external solutions when speed-to-market is critical, specialized vendors offer superior expertise, or internal development costs exceed long-term value creation. Blending-building some capabilities and systems while buying othersworks best when some components require customization while others can be standardized, or when organizations want to maintain control over core algorithms while leveraging external infrastructure. And strategic partnerships are optimal when capabilities are essential but non-differentiating, specialized providers offer superior expertise and technology, or organizations need flexible service models that adapt to changing requirements.

WorkWorkDonald Trump, Zohran Mamdani, and Posting as Politics - The New Yorker (No paywall) On June 24, at 6:50 A.M., Donald Trump posted a message on Truth Social that might otherwise have been reserved for a diplomatic cable or at least a highly secure phone line: ISRAEL. DO NOT DROP THOSE BOMBS... IT IS A MAJOR VIOLATION. He signed the post, continuing in all caps, DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES (as if, in a post from his personal account, on a social network that he created, there could be any doubt). This was after he had bombed nuclear sites in Iran, on June 21st, an action that he also trumpeted on Truth Social, and it was after he had, more or less unilaterally, announced a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, theoretically bringing Israel's recent attacks on Iran's nuclear-development program to a halt. So far, the ceasefire has largely held, thanks in part, perhaps, to Trump's continued real-time posting about the conflict, a rare show of focus from the scattered President. On June 27th, Trump was still posting, now to complain about Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's boasts about the war's outcome: I SAVED HIM FROM A VERY UGLY AND IGNOMINIOUS DEATH, and he does not have to say, THANK YOU, PRESIDENT TRUMP! WorkIs that really ADHD? Why flawed trials may be misleading millions Researchers reviewing nearly 300 top-tier ADHD drug trials found that half skipped the rigorous, expert-led evaluations needed to rule out other conditions like depression or schizophrenia. With diagnoses often made by unqualified staff-or even by computer-many participants may not have actually had ADHD, casting doubt on study outcomes that shape treatment guidelines. WorkFor Dolphins, Echolocation May Be More Like Touching Than Seeing - Scientific American (No paywall) Its midnight in a pitch-dark parking lot. Trying to unlock your car, you fumble and drop the keys. You squat down and run your hand across the invisible pavement. To the left, you feel a firm, rubbery tire. Reversing course, you pass over jagged pebbles and papery leaves. Finally your fingers discoverand instantly close around a notched piece of metal. This kind of tactile exploration may be the closest we can get to imagining the experience of dolphin echolocation, say the authors of a study on dolphin brains that was recently published in PLOS ONE.

WorkMedicaid cuts will hurt all American children not just those publicly insured - STAT (No paywall) Much of the dialogue surrounding the hundreds of billions of proposed Medicaid cuts passed by the Senate on Tuesday is centered on the impact on nearly 80 million Medicaid enrollees, half of whom are children. What does not receive as much attention, and which I'd argue is underappreciated, is how cuts to Medicaid would impact all children by devastating pediatric health systems, not just those in the program.
