The People of the Iliad and the Odyssey
The 493 named mortals who take part in the Homeric epics, mapped by origin, with the lines each speaks (directly or embedded), their family trees, their kill counts, and who killed them (if anyone did).

Whenever I visit a historical site I try to visualize what it was like back then.
On a run today in Athens I truly felt like it was 400 BC. Maybe it was the endorphins but it was the closest I felt to those ancestors.
Next time you’re here try running on Philopappos hill and the surrounding areas. The multiple angles of the acropolis are stunning.
This captures part of the issue in drug manufacturing. Traditional plants are very expensive and take 7 years to build. But let’s assume we can build them overnight do we accept the higher drug prices?

This building is likely teeming with spies.
This is the City of Dreams Mediterranean resort in Limassol Cyprus. Photos taken today.
It is not anywhere near the beach like all other hotels in the area but sits directly facing RAF Akrotiri, a British base that serves many operations in the Middle East.
The top floors of the building offer great views of the base and all aircraft movements. It happens to be owned by a group led by Chinese-Canadian billionaire Lawrence Ho.
Beyond hosting British military infrastructure Cyprus itself is a useful intelligence location. It sits between Europe, the Middle East and North Africa. It has extensive commercial, diplomatic and financial connections to Russia, Israel, the Gulf and China.
I grew up in a small mining town in the Copperbelt in Zambia. I remember being taught about HIV in first grade and the ads on every billboard about using condoms.
This is a huge deal for drug accessibility. It’s true that the future is here it’s just not evenly distributed. Often science and engineering isn’t the barrier its policy and regulation.
It is obviously cool that we are starting to apply AI to interesting math problems but I’m kinda nostalgic for the days of pen and paper. In undergrad we had to sit and prove the closure problem (you average NS and create more unknowns than equations making it not solvable other than with approximations). I remember being so happy that I snapped a photo of it.
We’re sharing a solution to the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize Problem, one of the deepest problems at the frontier of mathematics.
The proof was produced by a group of agents, using an OpenAI next-generation model significantly more capable than GPT-6 Astra.
The problem concerns whether the description of smooth three-dimensional fluid motion modeled by the Navier-Stokes equations can break down. It has remained unresolved for roughly 90 years.
What if manufacturing life-saving medicines were as simple as farming eggs? What if farms that have long provided products to feed billions could provide products to heal billions?
