Since November, a total of 35 people across California have been poisoned by mushrooms,
leading to three people receiving liver transplants
in addition to the three deaths.
Health officials in Sonoma County reported the latest death last week.
Michael Stacey, Sonoma’s interim health officer, attributed the cases and deaths to
an extraordinary boom in the prevalence of death cap mushrooms (Amanita phalloides),
noting that in an average year the state sees…

Wild mushrooms keep killing people in California; 3 dead, 35 poisoned
Officials have linked the poisonings to the death cap mushroom (Amanita phalloides).

New gene therapies offer a universal approach to treating retinitis pigmentosa
Emerging optogenetic, gene, and cell therapies are moving beyond single-gene treatments, offering hope for a broader range of patients with retinitis pigmentosa.

I’m delighted to hear more people talking about data poisoning in the context of mass surveillance.
This video has YouTube Syndrome (overlong to reach 10 min, filler, spends too long teasing the actual info), but starts getting into the heart of it around 3:45.
I was hoping for more actionable advice about active poisoning toward the end, and not just “like nicer stuff on social media,” but…good start, glad people are talking.

Abstract: This paper introduces the distributed Halpern Peaceman--Rachford (dHPR) method, an efficient algorithm for solving distributed convex composite optimization problems with non-smooth objectives, which achieves a non-ergodic $O(1/k)$ iteration complexity regarding Karush--Kuhn--Tucker residual. By leveraging the symmetric Gauss--Seidel decomposition, the dHPR effectively decouples the linear operators in the objective functions and consensus constraints while maintaining parallelizability and avoiding additional large proximal terms, leading to a decentralized implementation with provably fast convergence. The superior performance of dHPR is demonstrated through comprehensive numerical experiments on distributed LASSO, group LASSO, and $L_1$-regularized logistic regression problems.

California officials are warning foragers after an outbreak of poisoning linked to wild mushrooms that has killed one adult and caused severe liver damage in several patients, including children.
The state poison control system has identified 21 cases of amatoxin poisoning,
likely caused by death cap mushrooms, the health department said Friday.
The toxic wild mushrooms are often mistaken for edible ones because of their appearance and taste.
