The City of Johannesburg is reportedly defending the awarding of almost R1 billion in massive transport contracts to politically connected families. This is despite concerns from the Auditor-General. Jon Gericke spoke to Daily Maverick Associate Editor Ferial Haffajee,

Drawing on our roots as the university that overcame adversity to become the nation's youngest-ever R1 institution—and one whose sponsored research funding has grown 64 percent since 2020—George Mason University is launching a university-wide strategy to sharpen our focus on humanity's most pressing issues while maximizing our competitiveness for external research funding: the Grand Challenge Initiative. For this episode of Access to Excellence, Andre Marshall, vice president for research, innovation, and economic impact at George Mason, joins President Gregory Washington to discuss this new initiative and how it will shape the future of our university.  

Chinese AI startup DeepSeek's newest AI model, an updated version of the company's R1 reasoning model, achieves impressive scores on benchmarks for coding, math, and general knowledge, nearly surpassing OpenAI's flagship o3. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Dans le grand bal mondial de l'intelligence artificielle, la Chine avance à pas mesurés, mais assurés. Et l'un de ses fers de lance, DeepSeek, vient de marquer un nouveau point. La start-up, déjà repérée pour ses choix techniques efficaces et peu coûteux, vient de publier une mise à jour de son modèle de raisonnement sur la plateforme Hugging Face, haut lieu du partage de modèles IA. Nom de code : R1-0528.Une mise à jour qualifiée de « mineure » par ses créateurs. Mais dans les faits, les testeurs parlent de progrès sensibles, notamment sur la logique complexe et la génération de code. Sur des bancs d'essai comme LiveCodeBench, le modèle DeepSeek se hisse désormais juste derrière les modèles o4-mini et o3 d'OpenAI. Un résultat plus qu'honorable. Là où R1-0528 brille, c'est dans son raisonnement structuré. Il applique désormais la méthode dite de la "chaîne de pensée" : une démarche plus rigoureuse, où chaque étape de réflexion est explicitée avant de parvenir à une conclusion. Cette capacité à détailler son raisonnement améliore nettement la qualité des réponses, tout comme la cohérence des textes générés, débarrassés des bizarreries que l'on retrouvait parfois dans les versions précédentes.Autre évolution remarquée : la gestion des contextes longs. Avec une capacité d'attention jusqu'à 128 000 tokens, R1-0528 peut suivre un fil complexe pendant plus de 30 minutes. C'est une avancée cruciale pour les tâches qui demandent de la concentration sur la durée. Le revers de la médaille ? Un temps de réponse un peu plus long, mais jugé acceptable compte tenu des gains en précision. Côté architecture, DeepSeek reste fidèle à son modèle Mixture-of-Experts : 685 milliards de paramètres, dont seulement 37 milliards activés en simultané. Résultat : un modèle colossal, mais économe en ressources. Le coût d'entraînement du modèle R1 originel ? Moins de 6 millions de dollars. Une prouesse quand on sait que d'autres modèles similaires dépassent allègrement les centaines de millions. Enfin, DeepSeek reste fidèle à sa politique d'ouverture : le modèle est publié sous licence MIT, libre d'usage, même commercial. De quoi séduire développeurs indépendants et start-up, avec un accès simplifié via Hugging Face. Discrète mais redoutablement efficace, la Chine confirme qu'elle ne compte pas rester spectatrice de la révolution IA. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

UFC Vegas 107 looked absolutely awful on paper, but in practice, we did have some exciting moments. The ladies' fights were somewhat underwhelming, though. Alice Ardelean defeated Rayanne dos Santos, which wasn't a terrible watch and even won FOTN. However, Macy Chiasson vs. Ketlen Vieira was a complete slog of a contest that saw Vieira victorious. Side note: Chris Leben turned in an awful score card for that fight.Dusko Todorovic was bested by Zachary Reese in another ho-hum bout of no consequence. On the prelims, we were treated to just one finish, courtesy of Jordan Leavitt. The main card saw more action with finishes from Dustin Jacoby and an incredibly violent one from Ramiz Brahimaj, who looked like he was trying to rip Billy Ray Goff's head off his body. If you're wondering about Blanchfield vs. Barber, that fight got canceled due to a medical issue with Maycee Barber. That's right, folks, the main event got scratched mere moments before Barber's walkout (Blanchfield made the walk). Hopefully, Maycee makes a full recovery and Erin gets her show and win money.

The business rescue of Daybreak - a poultry farm bought by the Public Investment Corporation (PIC) in 2015 for R1.2 billion rand - is not the only horror story involving the irresponsible use of the Government Employee Pension Fund (GEPF). In this interview with BizNews, Zirk Gous, the spokesperson for the Association for Monitoring and Advocacy of Government Pensions (AMAGP), says: “…we need to act on 33 billion rands which are squandered in irresponsible political high-risk investments. And that is an urgent thing.” He says the “core problem” is that both the Government Employee Pension Fund and the Public Investment Corporation are “under total political control…so the people which should be called to account for the pain and the suffering of the Daybreak employees (are the) Minister of Finance, (the) Board of Trustees of the GEPF, the Board of Trustees of the Public Investment Corporation.” Meanwhile, says Gous, they are investigsations options to prevent further bad investments. “…the key to that will be we will have to amend the legislation, the Government Employee Pension Law. We will have to amend the Public Investment Corporation Act to remove the political control.”

“There was no meeting. It was a hiding to hell. It was an absolute slap to us.” That is the take of Neil De Beer, the President of the United Independent Movement (UIM), on last week's meeting between presidents Cyril Ramaphosa and Donald Trump in Washington. “… it was embarrassing for us, it looked like we were knocking on a door, bare feet, shorts and a T-shirt and asking the neighbour for an ice cream.” He says the biggest insult to Ramaphosa was the fact that none of the members of Trump's delegation bothered to interact with him. “…absolute horrific occasion…when I saw them in the Oval Office, I said, maar dis die wynspan.” As for the pleas for more investment from the US, he says: “Another billion from America so that we can have it looted on Tuesday? No, our track record doesn't speak of trust whatsoever.” As for government's proposal to ease B-BBEE licensing requirements for satellite service providers like Elon Musk's Starlink, he says: “..great idea…but we have to start looking at South African companies that suffer”. De Beer also dissects the controversial EWC statements by Public Works and Infrastructure Minister Dean McPherson on the eve of the US visit, as well as the absence of Special Envoy Mcebisi Jonas from it. He slams the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) for another failure with fraud charges being provisionally withdrawn against former Cape Town MMC Malusi Booi and co-accused in the R1 billion housing tender case; and he comments on the arrest of a man for sending threatening messages directed at the president and Cape Town Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis, as well as a CEO.

Ray White speaks to Dr. Nasiphi Moya, Mayor of Tshwane, about a corruption crackdown that’s turning heads. The city has uncovered a staggering R11.7 billion in irregular spending so far this year, a massive jump from last year’s R1.2 billion , and is on track to push that figure to R12.7 billion. With over 85 officials already dismissed for fraud, sexual misconduct, and other offenses, and more than 900 cases before the financial disciplinary board, Tshwane’s message is clear: corruption won’t be tolerated. Eight companies are also facing blacklisting, and controversial stadium tenders are finally under the microscope. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Tuesday morning, the 13th of May, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in the Book of Luke 6:12-13:”Now it came to pass in those days that He went out to the mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God. And when it was day, He called His disciples to Himself; and from them He chose twelve…” When was the last time you spent a whole night in prayer, on your own, with the Lord Jesus Christ? Have you ever done it? We really need to spend time with the Lord and we need to make quality decisions. We are living in perilous times and we cannot afford just to wing it, as they say. We need to spend time in prayer, especially when it comes to major decisions.The Son of God Himself, the Lord Jesus Christ, spent a whole night in prayer before He made a very serious decision and chose the twelve disciples, who literally changed the world. If the Son of God, Jesus Christ, spent a whole night in prayer, how much more should we be doing that? Many of us don't even give Jesus a time to answer us when we pray about something and we end up just doing a thumb suck and saying, ”Well, let's see which way the wind is going to blow and I'll take that as a decision from the Lord.” You can't do that anymore because we are living in times that are so dangerous. We really need to hear from God.Many of the men listening to this message, and the women, will remember in 2008, that we booked the biggest tent in the world by raw faith. It was made in Britain, enlarged in Europe and it was shipped out to Johannesburg, South Africa, for the World Earth Summit. We booked it and they brought it down to the farm. Seventeen 40-ton trucks brought that tent down. It took three weeks to erect it. We had an amazing time. We had 30,000 men seated inside and about another 30,000 men seated outside. The tent was too small! After that amazing event, some very kind, godly businessmen from Johannesburg wrote to me and said they wanted to buy the tent for me, no strings attached. I mean, this is a tent that is worth millions and millions of rand and I said, ”Can I pray about it and I will come back to you?” And I did pray and I prayed hard and the Lord gave me this message. He said, ”Do not receive that tent,” because that tent would have become a millstone around my neck. It would have killed me. You see, just to erect that tent cost R1,000,000 every time, never mind transporting it to the next venue and so very, very humbly I said to them, ”Thank you. I'm so touched that you want to do this but I've got instructions from the Lord. I spent time in prayer, lots of time, and He told me I won't need it.” You know the next year, we had 120,000 men on this farm. Spend time in prayer and God will give you correct answers.Jesus bless you and goodbye.

In this JCO Article Insights episode, host Jospeh Mathew summaries Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma: Long-Term Outcomes of Adjuvant Therapy in the ESPAC4 Phase III Trial, by Palmer, et al published December 5, 2024. Transcript Joseph Matthew: Hello and welcome to the Journal of Clinical Oncology Article Insights. I'm your host, Joseph Matthew, and today we will be discussing the article "Long-Term Survival in Resected Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma with Adjuvant Gemcitabine plus Capecitabine Compared to Modified FOLFIRINOX from the ESPAC-4 and the PRODIGE 24 Trials" by Dr. Palmer et al. To summarize the relevant evidence, the ESPAC-4 was a European phase 3 multicenter randomized clinical trial published in 2017 comparing adjuvant gemcitabine and capecitabine (GemCap) with gemcitabine monotherapy following macroscopic margin-negative resections for operable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). The trial had included non-metastatic patients aged 18 years or older, World Health Organization (WHO) performance scores of 2 or less, creatinine clearance of at least 50 mL/min, and a life expectancy of over three months who had not received any prior anticancer treatment. Patients who had undergone R2 resections were selectively excluded. Eligible participants were randomized 1:1 within 12 weeks of pancreatectomy to one of the two treatment arms, with chemotherapy initiated within two weeks from the date of randomization. The regimens involved six cycles, each lasting four weeks, for an overall duration of 24 weeks. In the monotherapy arm, gemcitabine dosed at 1 g/m² was given as an intravenous infusion once a week for three weeks, followed by one week off. In the GemCap arm, capecitabine dosed at 1660 mg/m² was added to gemcitabine, given daily for three weeks, followed by one week off. Patients were followed up every three months, with the primary endpoint being overall survival (OS). The study showed that at a median follow-up of 43.2 months, GemCap was associated with a significantly longer OS than gemcitabine alone. Subsequently, in 2018, the Phase 3 randomized PRODIGE 24 trial was conducted in centers across France and Canada, comparing adjuvant modified FOLFIRINOX (mFOLFIRINOX) with gemcitabine in a similar subset of patients with resected PDAC and reported longer OS with the mFOLFIRINOX regimen. This study, however, had more restrictive eligibility criteria when compared to ESPAC-4, including patients aged under 80 years, WHO performance status of 0 or 1, with no significant cardiovascular disease, and a postoperative serum CA 19-9 of less than 180 U/mL. There was hence a subset of ESPAC-4 patients who did not meet the eligibility criteria for mFOLFIRINOX as set by the PRODIGE 24. The present study was conducted to estimate the overall 5-year survival rates for patients of ESPAC-4 receiving GemCap and gemcitabine, further stratifying survival in either arm according to the status of the surgical margins (R status) and the resected nodes (N status), and also to investigate whether GemCap retained a survival benefit over gemcitabine in PRODIGE 24-ineligible patients. A total of 732 patients, evenly distributed between both arms, were followed up for a median period of 104 months. Adjuvant GemCap was found to retain its survival advantage over gemcitabine, with a significantly longer median OS of 31.6 months when compared to 28.4 months with gemcitabine alone. Further subgroup analysis was performed with reference to the resection margins and the nodal status. As a reminder, in the ESPAC-4 trial, 60% of patients were found to have microscopically positive margins (an R1 resection), and 80% were node-positive. The difference in survival was greater in patients undergoing microscopic margin-negative resections (R0) who experienced a median OS of 49.9 months with GemCap when compared to 32.2 months with gemcitabine. Node-negative patients also had a significantly greater 5-year OS rate with GemCap of 59% versus 53% with gemcitabine monotherapy. However, it is important to note that no significant difference in survival outcomes was observed in margin-positive (R1) or node-positive patients in the two arms. The investigators also evaluated GemCap in the subgroup of 193 patients (comprising 26.4% of the ESPAC-4 cohort) who were not considered to have met the eligibility criteria for PRODIGE 24. The survival benefit of combination therapy was retained in this group, with patients receiving GemCap experiencing a median survival of 25.9 months compared to 20.7 months with adjuvant gemcitabine. Although cross-trial comparisons have limited validity, good agreement was noted in adverse grade 3 or greater toxicity associated with the control gemcitabine arms of ESPAC-4 and PRODIGE 24, serving as the basis for a qualitative comparison of toxicities between mFOLFIRINOX and GemCap. Neutropenia was more prevalent in the GemCap arm, affecting 40.8% of patients compared to 28.4% with mFOLFIRINOX. However, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) was administered to 62.2% of patients in PRODIGE 24. Palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia (PPE) was also more prevalent with GemCap. Patients on mFOLFIRINOX were more likely to observe grade 3 or greater fatigue, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting, sensory peripheral neuropathy, and paresthesias. The investigators concluded that GemCap was the standard adjuvant treatment for patients with PDAC undergoing an upfront resection who were not feasible for mFOLFIRINOX. Further exploratory analysis revealed that patients under the age of 70 who had undergone a microscopic margin-negative (R0) resection for node-negative PDAC were likely to derive an OS benefit from the addition of capecitabine to gemcitabine in the adjuvant setting. In contrast, mFOLFIRINOX would be more effective than gemcitabine in patients with positive margins (R1) or involved nodes, as per the PRODIGE 24 trial.

He stresses the importance of reviewing picks, especially amid a losing streak, and outlines the four Masters futures he carries from December: Scottie Scheffler (7-1), Ludwig Aberg (14-1), Sung Jae Im (50-1), and Sepp Straka (100-1), with three additional tickets on Sahith Theegala, Tom Kim, and Davis Thompson to win any major. Scottie Scheffler, coming in as the favorite at +525, is praised for consistent elite performance, including no finishes worse than 25th in six events since returning from a hand injury, and podium finishes in his last four starts. His game, including a best putting performance of the season in Houston, is peaking. Rory McIlroy is faded despite strong wins at Pebble Beach and the Players; Will cites driving accuracy issues and suggests 10-1 would be a fairer line than 7.25-1. Jon Rahm, now on the LIV circuit, enters at 16-1 with recent top-10s but inconsistent putting and chipping. Morikawa is also passed over due to final-round collapses, though Will does back him to top 10 in Round 1. Other fades include Bryson DeChambeau (20-1), Justin Thomas (25-1), and Hideki Matsuyama (35-1), due to poor putting or chipping trends. Conversely, Will is bullish on Robert MacIntyre (60-1), who has recorded three straight top-11 finishes and two strong prior Augusta showings. He places both an outright bet and a matchup on him. Victor Hovland is another targeted play, specifically in a matchup over Cam Smith, following his Valspar win and a confident outlook on his improved short game. Shane Lowry, cited for consistency and solid Augusta history, is backed for a top 20, while Russell Henley earns a top-30 ticket thanks to elevated iron play. Several key quotes add depth. Scottie Scheffler credits Texas's varied conditions for developing his shot-making adaptability. Rory McIlroy reflects on family memories and the beauty of Augusta. Morikawa defends media avoidance, which Will critiques as symptomatic of poor mental preparation. Hovland speaks optimistically about short-game improvements with coach Grant Waite, prompting confidence from Will. Aberg's comments reveal awareness of recent struggles, but he remains committed to routine. Sepp Straka remains a strong value at 100-1 with excellent iron play and driving form. He's bet to beat Sam Burns in a first-round matchup, who is faded due to declining performance. Sung Jae Im's ticket has cratered in value, and Will expresses regret on that pick. Spieth is passed over at 40-1 due to erratic iron play, despite solid chipping and putting. Other noted fades include Tommy Fleetwood, Corey Connors, Cam Smith, Patrick Cantlay, Min Woo Lee, and Brooks Koepka, each due to specific statistical weaknesses in approach, short game, or driving. Later segments analyze lower-ranked players, including positive remarks about Phil Mickelson's resurgence and Charles Schwartzel's sharp form. Will picks Mickelson to make the cut, citing recent LIV success. Keegan Bradley and Akshay Bhatia are also featured in favorable matchups. Will wraps with lineup picks for Masters.com, choosing Scheffler, Patrick Reed, Shane Lowry, Davis Thompson, and Straka.

Today, we're joined by Niklas Muennighoff, a PhD student at Stanford University, to discuss his paper, “S1: Simple Test-Time Scaling.” We explore the motivations behind S1, as well as how it compares to OpenAI's O1 and DeepSeek's R1 models. We dig into the different approaches to test-time scaling, including parallel and sequential scaling, as well as S1's data curation process, its training recipe, and its use of model distillation from Google Gemini and DeepSeek R1. We explore the novel "budget forcing" technique developed in the paper, allowing it to think longer for harder problems and optimize test-time compute for better performance. Additionally, we cover the evaluation benchmarks used, the comparison between supervised fine-tuning and reinforcement learning, and similar projects like the Hugging Face Open R1 project. Finally, we discuss the open-sourcing of S1 and its future directions. The complete show notes for this episode can be found at https://twimlai.com/go/721.

When Chinese AI company DeepSeek announced they had built a model that could compete with OpenAI at a fraction of the cost, it sent shockwaves through the industry and roiled global markets. But amid all the noise around DeepSeek, there was a clear signal: machine reasoning is here and it's transforming AI.In this episode, Aza sits down with CHT co-founder Randy Fernando to explore what happens when AI moves beyond pattern matching to actual reasoning. They unpack how these new models can not only learn from human knowledge but discover entirely new strategies we've never seen before – bringing unprecedented problem-solving potential but also unpredictable risks.These capabilities are a step toward a critical threshold - when AI can accelerate its own development. With major labs racing to build self-improving systems, the crucial question isn't how fast we can go, but where we're trying to get to. How do we ensure this transformative technology serves human flourishing rather than undermining it?Your Undivided Attention is produced by the Center for Humane Technology. Follow us on Twitter: @HumaneTech_Clarification: In making the point that reasoning models excel at tasks for which there is a right or wrong answer, Randy referred to Chess, Go, and Starcraft as examples of games where a reasoning model would do well. However, this is only true on the basis of individual decisions within those games. None of these games have been “solved” in the the game theory sense.Correction: Aza mispronounced the name of the Go champion Lee Sedol, who was bested by Move 37.RECOMMENDED MEDIAFurther reading on DeepSeek's R1 and the market reaction Further reading on the debate about the actual cost of DeepSeek's R1 model  The study that found training AIs to code also made them better writers More information on the AI coding company Cursor Further reading on Eric Schmidt's threshold to “pull the plug” on AI Further reading on Move 37RECOMMENDED YUA EPISODESThe Self-Preserving Machine: Why AI Learns to Deceive This Moment in AI: How We Got Here and Where We're Going Former OpenAI Engineer William Saunders on Silence, Safety, and the Right to Warn The AI ‘Race': China vs. the US with Jeffrey Ding and Karen Hao
