The Microsoft AI team shares research that demonstrates how AI can sequentially investigate and solve medicine’s most complex diagnostic challenges—cases that expert physicians struggle to answer.

Benchmarked against real-world case records published each week in the New England Journal of Medicine, we show that the Microsoft AI Diagnostic Orchestrator (MAI-DxO) correctly diagnoses up to 85% of NEJM case proceedings, a rate more than four times higher than a group of experienced physicians. MAI-DxO also gets to the correct diagnosis more cost-effectively than physicians.

Ras Ain al-Ouja is one of the largest Palestinian Bedouin villages in the occupied West Bank. Nestled amid a ridge of high silt hills just north of Jericho city, the village is facing intensified Israeli government-funded settler efforts to expel its residents.

The community’s 1,200 residents are surrounded from all sides by the illegal Yitav settlement and four illegal settler outposts, the most recent of which was built one year ago.

Settlers descend onto the village and raid residents’ homes on a daily basis, physically attacking people, stealing sheep, and terrorizing families. They also took over the nearby spring of Ain al-Ouja, one of the main springs in Palestine and a major water source for the entire area that drew local tourism. Today, all Palestinians are barred from accessing it.

Major Palestinian Bedouin village faces expulsion by Israeli army and settlers

The Palestinians of Ras Ain al-Ouja are the latest Bedouin community targeted for expulsion by Israel. They are being forced out through violent settler harassment as part of Israel’s plan to annex most of the West Bank.

On the wall of the League of Social Democrats office, the Chinese characters for freedom are spelt out with court admission slips.

Members of the party take turns speaking into a microphone connected to a loudspeaker. They stand in front of a banner that reads "rather be ashes than dust", written in Chinese. Founded close to 20 years ago, the party is known as the last protest group in Hong Kong.

"The red lines are now everywhere," Chan Po Ying, the chair of the party, tells the BBC. "Our decision to disband was because we were facing a lot of pressure."

The pre-print of a new study led by Prof. Michael Spagat of Royal Holloway, University of London, and Palestinian political scientist Dr. Khalil Shikaki has revealed that Gaza's death toll from the ongoing conflict could be nearly 100,000, a figure significantly higher than official reports, Haaretz reported on 26 June.

The Gaza Mortality Survey (GMS), the most comprehensive to date, estimates around 75,200 violent deaths between October 2023 and January 2025—nearly 40 percent higher than the Gaza Health Ministry's reported death toll of 45,660 at the time.

Researchers carried out a detailed household survey, interviewing 2,000 families—around 9,700 individuals—to independently evaluate fatalities.

The study estimated 8,540 additional non-violent deaths through January, bringing the combined fatality count for that period to 83,740. Gaza's Health Ministry has recorded over 10,000 more deaths since then, raising the current total to nearly 100,000 Palestinians killed by Israeli forces.

Health departments around the country have noticed there's something strange happening with funding from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: It's not showing up on schedule and there's been no communication about why.

The federal public health agency doles out most of the money it receives from Congress to state and local health departments, which then contract with local organizations. That's how public health work gets funded in the U.S.

According to two CDC staff members with knowledge of the agency's budget, the CDC has yet to receive its full funding for the 2025 fiscal year. NPR agreed not to name the staff members because they were not authorized to speak to the media.

[...]

"If they can delay until the end of September, then that's it," the staffer adds. "Those projects are not going to happen. That money goes straight back to Treasury."

That's why both CDC staffers who spoke with NPR say this amounts to impounding the agency's funding.

Dimitri Masin, CEO of Gradient Labs, argues that companies using AI agents for customer support should only pay when the bot does its job.

"If you look at Salesforce, they price the automation per conversation," he told The Register in a phone interview. "So essentially, if you have a conversation with AI, no matter what it leads to, you pay $2."

According to Salesforce's own researchers, leading LLM-based agents tested on the CRMArena-Pro benchmark successfully complete single-turn (prompt and reply) tasks about 58 percent of the time and only about 35 percent of the time for multi-turn (back-and-forth conversation) requests.

That's both bad for customers and bad for the progress of AI agents overall. Paying regardless of results, said Masin, "doesn't create any incentive for Salesforce to actually make their agent better."

Salesforce did not respond to a request for comment. But the stats it touts in its marketing copy are, unsurprisingly, a lot better.

Don't pay for AI support failures, says Gradient Labs CEO

The Supreme Court on Friday ruled that a group of Maryland parents have a right to opt their elementary-school-aged children out of instruction that includes LGBTQ+ themes. By a vote of 6-3, the justices agreed with the parents – who are Muslim, Catholic, and Ukrainian Orthodox – that the Montgomery County school board’s refusal to provide them with that option violates their constitutional right to freely exercise their religion.

Writing for the majority, Justice Samuel Alito acknowledged that “courts are not school boards or legislatures, and are ill-equipped to determine the ‘necessity’ of discrete aspects of a State’s program of compulsory education.” But he emphasized that “what the parents seek here is not the right to micromanage the public school curriculum, but rather to have their children opt out of a particular educational requirement that burdens their well-established right ‘to direct ‘the religious upbringing’ of their children’” under the free exercise clause of the First Amendment.

The US Supreme Court on Friday upheld a key provision of the Affordable Care Act that requires health plans to fully cover many preventive health care services recommended by a federal panel.

The ruling means that tens of millions of Americans can continue getting a variety of preventive services for free under their plans. Those cost-free services include an array of screenings, such as cancer screenings like mammograms and colonoscopies, as well as screens for obesity, lead exposure in children, high blood pressure, diabetes, and some sexually transmitted diseases, to name a few. The free services also include recommended vaccines for children and adults, well-baby and well-child doctor visits, birth control, statins, PrEP HIV prevention drugs, and fluoride supplements and varnishes for children's teeth.

In 2023, while Kristi Noem was governor of South Dakota, she supplemented her income by secretly accepting a cut of the money she raised for a nonprofit that promotes her political career, tax records show.

In what experts described as a highly unusual arrangement, the nonprofit routed funds to a personal company of Noem’s that had recently been established in Delaware. The payment totaled $80,000 that year, a significant boost to her roughly $130,000 government salary. Since the nonprofit is a so-called dark money group — one that’s not required to disclose the names of its donors — the original source of the money remains unknown.

A dark money group paid $80,000 to Noem’s personal company when she was governor of South Dakota. She did not include this income on her federal disclosure forms, a likely violation of ethics requirements, experts say.

Rogue websites capitalizing on the borderless nature of the Internet have met their match, as an Indian court has wielded a "dynamic+" injunction to defend the global streaming rights of British sports platform DAZN for the FIFA World Cup 2025 currently underway in the US. The court emphasized the urgency of the order, stating that without the injunction, DAZN would suffer "irreparable loss and injury" due to the rapid spread of illicit streams.

Rogue websites capitalizing on the borderless nature of the Internet have met their match, as an Indian court has wielded a "dynamic+" injunction to defend the global streaming rights of British sports platform DAZN for the FIFA World Cup 2025 currently underway in the US.

The court order, issued by the Delhi High Court on May 28, represents a significant multi-jurisdictional triumph over online piracy. It restrains identified rogue websites and any future infringing sites from "communicating, hosting, streaming and/or making available for viewing and downloading" DAZN's FIFA World Cup content without authorization on their websites or any other platforms.

The dynamic+ injunction also compels domain name registrars to "lock/suspend (on real time basis)" the infringing domain names and disclose complete details of the registrants and payment information.

In addition, the court has directed local Internet Service Providers to "block access (on real time basis)" to these various websites. The Department of Telecommunications and the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology were impleaded to ensure comprehensive enforcement.

Delhi High Court Judge Saurabh Banerjee said in his 10-page ruling that the case "appears to be a classic case of copyright infringement by masked players... who use the veil of today’s technology to conveniently conceal their true identities and unabashedly abuse and enrich themselves by using the protected works of parties like the plaintiff herein through URL redirection/ masking, etc. Such entities are sprouting and have to be stopped at the earliest given opportunity."

"The Delhi High Court has always played the role of a swift, vigilant but fair referee in the ever-evolving game against digital piracy," IP lawyer Aman Sinha told MLex.

Just like the Video Assistant Referee who catches an offside before a goal can be counted, the court judgment "ensures that piracy is flagged and removed before it can score" illicit gains, Sinha said.

"In the digital match against piracy, dynamic+ injunctions are the new offside trap, anticipating the move before the infringers strike," he added.

A second IP lawyer agreed and pointed out the global reach of Indian courts. "The judgment — demonstrating a robust approach to intellectual property enforcement across international digital borders — proves that the Internet's borderless nature doesn't equate to lawlessness," he said.

DAZN, incorporated in England and Wales, alongside its Indian operations arm, DAZN Software, holds exclusive global media rights for the FIFA World Cup 2025, which is being hosted in the US from June 14 to July 13. These rights — encompassing television, digital and ancillary rights — grant DAZN the sole authority to broadcast, re-broadcast, retransmit and stream the event worldwide.

DAZN filed a lawsuit against "BUFFSPORTS" and a number of unnamed defendants, detailing how rogue websites were illegally broadcasting its streams for the World Cup. The suit followed DAZN's investigations of these sites circumventing its exclusive streaming mechanisms, effectively "financially enrich[ing] themselves" by providing pirated content. DAZN sought a permanent injunction, damages and a clear directive for immediate action.

Emphasizing the urgency in his ruling, Judge Banerjee said that if a dynamic+ injunction is not granted, DAZN "will likely suffer irreparable loss and injury." He also highlighted that "any delay in blocking these 'rogue websites' would, in fact, result in irreparable loss and injury to the plaintiffs and cause violation of the intellectual property rights of the plaintiffs."

The "dynamic+" nature of the injunction allows DAZN to inform relevant Domain Name Registrars and ISPs of any new mirror, redirect or alphanumeric variations of the infringing websites that emerge, thereby ensuring that these are promptly blocked on a real-time basis. This proactive measure is a crucial tool against the ever-evolving tactics of online pirates.

The case is set for its next hearing on Oct. 8, 2025, as the legal battle to secure digital content in a borderless world continues.

To enact his ambitious agenda to make the city more affordable, [Mamdani] would need to strike a better relationship with his former colleagues in Albany than Walker did.

Two of the three key planks in his platform — making buses free to ride and providing universal free child care — would require action from the governor and state legislature, including raising taxes by billions of dollars. (The third, freezing the rent on rent-stabilized apartments, can be accomplished at the city level.)

His five years in the legislature may serve him well in navigating Albany politics. He’s built alliances with legislators, especially fellow progressives, and seen the state capitol’s byzantine budget process up close.

“The budget process is almost a living, breathing thing,” said Senate Deputy Majority Leader Michael Gianaris, a frequent ally of Mamdani’s. “There’s a long line of mayors who thought they knew how to handle state government who have failed at doing so … I think he knows how to do it better than other mayors who have come before.”

The biggest thing Mamdani needs from Albany is money. His plan rests on the state’s willingness to raise $9 billion in taxes on corporations and high-earners.

Gianaris noted that in recent years, both houses of the legislature have supported raising taxes on the wealthy. “So there’s two out of the three players already on board with the broad strokes of that proposal,” he said.

Governor Kathy Hochul, on the other hand, has firmly opposed tax increases, recently saying, “I don’t want to lose any more people to Palm Beach.”

Not all legislators are on board, either.

“I’m not a fan of any of his tax proposals,” Weprin said. “I think they’re unrealistic and would have a very tough time getting approval in Albany.”

Mamdani will also need Albany’s backing to enact his promise to make buses fast and free. The Metropolitan Transit Authority is controlled by the state, not the city; its yearlong experiment with fare-free buses, approved in the 2023 state budget, was one of Mamdani’s signature legislative victories. But his colleagues declined to renew the program in 2024, and MTA chair Janno Lieber has been critical of the effort since it ended.

“We tried [Mamdani’s] idea of free buses on different lines,” he told radio host Brian Lehrer in April. “Most of the additional ridership [that] was identified cannibalized other lines. You’re taking people who are paying on other lines, and they were just getting a free ride.”

Lieber has also said that the free buses sent the “wrong message” at a time when the MTA has prioritized cracking down on fare evasion. He has said he prefers to reduce fares for low-income people through a more targeted approach.

Can Zohran Mamdani’s Agenda Survive Albany?

Mamdani’s plans for universal child care, fare-free transit, and affordable housing rely on Albany getting on board.

La pena capitale viene espressamente vietata dall'articolo 27 della nostra Costituzione del 1948, ma rimarrà applicabile nel Codice Militare di guerra fino addirittura al 1994 quando anche per i reati commessi in periodo bellico venne sostituita dalla pena dell'ergastolo che diventa pertanto la pena massima cui si può essere condannati in Italia a seguito di qualunque reato commesso sia in tempo di pace che in tempo di guerra.

Nel nostro paese l'ultima esecuzione per reati comuni venne sentenziata nel 1946 per punire un efferato fatto di cronaca nera passato alla storia come "La strage di Villerbasse".

il niente rottico che si avvera nelle cose

Ieri ho dovuto sforzarmi un pochino più del solito, per riuscire a iniziare e poi (soprattutto…) subito finire un articolino dell’indubbia utilità avanzata, nonché senz’altro gusto impareggiabile, che a questo punto vi consiglio di leggere, per approfondire oltre quello che dirò ora: Tutorial per Non Fare Niente. 👻

…Ma, questo post non è una becera scusa per spammare l’ennesimo mio pezzo di letteratura postmoderna, come in realtà non faccio da molto; scriverlo è bensì una becerissima scusa per sentire di star facendo qualcosa, quando, in realtà, da stamattina non sto davvero facendo assolutamente nulla… e quindi, a posteriori mi accorgo di quanto cazzo è vero ciò che ieri ho scritto con occhi luccicanti e mani frementi ma contemporaneamente anima marciscente, e come ormai con le ultime settimane ci sono finita dentro a tal punto da sguazzarci in automatico senza nemmeno accorgermene troppo. 🥴

Illustrerò precisamente la mia desolante giornata odierna fino ad ora, così da capirci meglio. Dopo aver dormito le mie bellissime 8-quasi-9 ore, circa alle 10:30 mi alzo, a fatica ma non troppo. Faccio colazione mentre guardo con dovuta attenzione un (1) episodio di Kidou Senshi Gandamu: Suisei no Majo, dopodiché vado alla mia postazione di dislavoro. Provo a prendere in mano l’ennesima idea pazza venuta tardi la sera, che in questo caso è di creare delle specie di modelli planner, tracker e così via, con stili grafici particolari (da videogiochi, anime, ecc…), con l’idea che strumenti di carta colorata e decorata possano aiutarmi, sia scrostandomi tutta quell’ultima muffa inazionativa e disorganizzativa di dosso, sia nel senso che sono cose originali utili da caricare sui miei sitini per attirare attenzione, fama ed amore; e questa è un’altra storia, ma il punto è che da stamattina ad ora il tempo è volato via solo in ricerca di informazioni e testing preliminare per cui adesso, a fine pomeriggio, non ho ancora fatto un bel niente se non pensare a vuoto, cliccare in giro su LibreOffice Calc, e fare domande scomode a ChatGPT. Nel frattempo, però, per distrarmi dal mio dolore esistenziale, stamattina mi sono lavata (anziché arrivare fino al tardo pomeriggio!), ho rifatto il letto, e tra metà e fine pranzo ho spolverato la stanza (che, dopo una settimana, andava fatto). E così siamo ad ora. 😱

È decisamente molto interessante, anche se ormai la cosa sta diventando oggettivamente ripetitiva, vedere come oggi ho eseguito perfettamente il Livello 1 del mio tutorial di ieri, “Distrazione del Nulla“. A parte il momento in cui mi sono volontariamente presa del tempo libero per guardare 24 minuti di anime stamattina (e qualcosa ora, se proprio vogliamo contare la scrittura di questo post come tempo di svago)… non ho fatto assolutamente niente di produttivo, eppure non mi sono nemmeno messa a divertirmi o a riposarmi propriamente. Tra un click e l’altro, distraendomi a fare cose che non costituiscono un bel niente ma che sono necessarie al fare più di niente, metà del tempo di oggi è già a tutti gli effetti evaporato, proprio come il mio sudore in questi ultimissimi giorni di giugno, dove l’umidità a dire il vero è accettabile, giusto prima che… 🥱

CAZZO! Giugno è completamente svanito, e adesso c’è già luglio… E no, non lo sto affatto realizzando in questo momento, ma questo è più o meno cosa ho pensato quando invece l’ho fatto, proprio ieri sera, o forse l’altro ieri. Quindi tocca fare anche il punto del mese… e questo è mille volte peggio! 😭

• Lato personale, c’è davvero pochissima roba fatta, se non una ventina scarsa di articoli sul sito della robba e il nuovo sito TomoStash; non mi viene in mente praticamente nient’altro.
• Il fronte spacciversità è però davvero terrificante… Ci sarebbero 2 esami completi che penso sia impossibile fare adesso, perché durante il corso non ci ho capito una mazza e quindi anche volendo sarebbe impossibile studiare a luglio (a maggior ragione visto che non riesco a fare neanche le cose che io voglio…) per tirare fuori qualcosa giusto alla fine del mese… mentre ho poi 1 orale dove dovrei ripetere bene la teoria altrimenti andrà a ramengo, e 1 altro orale per cui il problema è che ho ancora da finire il progetto.

Poi attenzione, non sto dicendo che quello appena passato sia stato un mese inutile e da buttare, affatto; cose personali positive, alcune che non ho scritto qui, sono successe, oltre a vari momenti neutri… però insomma, sulla carta c’è comunque tanto da piangere; e lo farei, se solo le lacrime uscissero. Idem per la mezza giornata di oggi, credo; è comunque un giorno di quelli dal sapore chill nonostante il retrogusto amarissimo, quindi non lo cancellerei, ma comunque non è bello… e mi sento assolutamente come dice la figura: sto perdendo. 😿
(…E se ancora è difficile capire come sto, ricordatevi che io odio spolverare — mi secca profondamente per qualche motivo che non riesco a capire — eppure prima ho preferito fare quello, piuttosto che vivere altri minuti ininterrotti di disperazione, quindi rendetevi conto della gravità della situazione… soprattutto perché l’ho fatto senza nel frattempo distrarmi con video su YouTube, musica, o quanto altro; l’ho fatto e basta… con di mezzo il pranzo, certo, ma comunque… 🦴)

The punk band Bob Vylan has now officially been dropped by the talent agency UTA following the comments being made during their Glastonbury set.

During the performance, the band led a pro-Palestine chant with their crowd, proclaiming “death to the IDF”. Following comments from the festival staff as well as various politicians, UTA has announced their decision to part ways with the group.

Insiders have said that UTA senior executives agreed with the festival, saying that the band had taken their political beliefs too far when making their comments. Despite not coming out with any official statement, all images and information relating to the musical duo have been wiped from the company’s website.

The BBC continued in a statement, “The antisemitic sentiments expressed by Bob Vylan were utterly unacceptable and have no place on our airwaves. We welcome Glastonbury’s condemnation of the performance.”

NOTE: The City Council’s criminal-justice committee is slated to discuss surveillance cameras at 10 a.m. today (Monday).

The New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) is spying on you and lying about it. On May 29th, 2025, the Washington Post revealed NOPD’s secret collaboration with Project NOLA to use banned Chinese facial recognition cameras all over New Orleans to spy on you. There are more than 5,000 cameras across NOLA. All of them are run by Project NOLA executive director Bryan Lagarde, a former NOPD cop.

I had no idea they were meeting about this today in one hour! I even checked the meeting agenda last night, and didn't see anything related to surveillance.

I was prepared for the meeting on July 10th, and once again, I only found out about this bc I went out of my way looking for any mention of this.

Zero information from City officials or any mainstream local news. Only one mention from a small independent publisher that has been tracking this bullshit since the Palantir scandal of 2018.

I am getting so sick of this evasive bullshit!

Anyone that happens to see this, please watch the live stream at 10 am if you can:

cityofno.granicus.com/MediaPla…

If it doesn't work on mobile, it should work on desktop. If they do that pre-meeting, meeting adjourned BS again, close out the window and re-open the Livestream.

NOPD is using images of you from more than 5,000 cameras across the city

After years of FOIA requests and research, security engineer Matthew Wollenweber knows that NOPD is lying about their unlawful use of Project NOLA and facial-recognition software, he writes.

The bill itself is unsurprising and uninteresting. What is interesting is the title and description written by the bill's sponsors (Claudia Tenney R-NY, Dan Crenshaw R-TX).

"To deny tax deductions and other Federal funding..."

These congressmen think tax deductions are Federal funding. If they did not think this way, they would have left out the word other in their description.

But the New York mayoral candidate said: “That’s not the language that I use.”

"New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani on Sunday again declined to condemn the phrase “globalize the intifada” but emphasized he would be a mayor “that protects Jewish New Yorkers” if elected in November."

"“I’ve heard from many Jewish New Yorkers who have shared their concerns with me, especially in light of the horrific attacks that we saw in Washington, D.C. and in Boulder, Colorado, about this moment of antisemitism in our country and in our city,” Mamdani told Welker. “And I’ve heard those fears, and I’ve had those conversations.”"

🇬🇧** ENGLISH**

Italy just vetoed the EU Green Claims Directive, a law to ban misleading eco-labels like "carbon neutral" without proof. The move—backed by business lobbies—leaves consumers vulnerable to greenwashing.

Key impacts:

✔ No more rules forcing companies to prove green claims

✔ Vague terms ("eco-friendly," "sustainable") stay unregulated

✔** EU Green Deal credibility** takes a hit

🇮🇹** ITALIAN**

L’Italia ha affossato la direttiva UE contro il greenwashing, che avrebbe obbligato le aziende a dimostrare claim come "sostenibile". Una vittoria per le lobby, ma un rischio per i consumatori.

Cosa succede ora?

✔ Niente controlli su pubblicità ambientali

✔ Termini ingannevoli ("a impatto zero") restano legali

✔ La credibilità dell’UE sul clima si indebolisce

TL;DR (EN): Italy lets companies keep lying about being "green"—thanks to killing EU rules.

TL;DR (IT): L’Italia blocca la legge anti-greenwashing: alle aziende è permesso mentire sull’ambiente.

Europe’s ambition for digital sovereignty is more urgent than ever. But instead of backing truly European, privacy-first services, many European businesses and even EU and local authorities still rely on US tech, and might consider the brand-new and shiny "sovereign cloud" offerings as a useful solution.

But what if the "sovereign cloud" is less secure than US companies want us to believe? Let's take a deep dive into the "Microsoft Sovereign Cloud", the "Sovereign Cloud from Google", and the advertised "European Digital Sovereignty from Amazon Web Services" and whether it's safe to use these as a European authority or business.

"Sovereign cloud" or "sovereign washing"? A Trojan Horse at Europe's digital gates. | Tuta

AWS, Microsoft, Google - they all launched "sovereign clouds" recently. But the truth is, all US companies are subject to US data sharing legislation. Let's explore whether it's safe to use US clouds or whether it's just "sovereign washing".
