Mali’s Internet Revolution: Surprising Facts & Bold Plans for a Digital Future

Mali’s Internet Revolution: Surprising Facts & Bold Plans for a Digital Future

Mali, a large landlocked nation in West Africa, is undergoing a digital transformation against challenging odds. Internet access has grown from almost zero at the turn of the century to reaching roughly a third of the population today extensia.tech. This expansion is driven primarily by mobile phones, as fixed broadband infrastructure is scarce developingtelecoms.com. However, millions of Malians – especially in rural and conflict-prone areas – remain offline, highlighting a significant digital divide. In this report, we delve into the state of internet access in Mali, covering how people get online, who provides the service, the hurdles faced in building networks, and what initiatives are underway to connect the unconnected.

Glowing Planets, Monster Blooms & a ‘Next Ozempic’ – Science Highlights (Sept 1–2, 2025)

Glowing Planets, Monster Blooms & a ‘Next Ozempic’ – Science Highlights (Sept 1–2, 2025)

Baby Planet Still Glowing: In a landmark observation, astronomers directly imaged an infant planet still hot from its birth. The gas giant WISPIT 2b, roughly five Jupiters in mass and only ~5 million years old, was discovered orbiting within a multi-ring dust disk around a young star scitechdaily.com. Using the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope in Chile, the team captured WISPIT 2b shining in infrared – essentially catching it in the act of formation scitechdaily.com. It’s the first unambiguous photo of a planet in a multi-ring protoplanetary disk, offering a rare glimpse at early planet evolution scitechdaily.com. “Capturing an image of these forming planets has proven extremely challenging… it gives us a real chance to understand why… exoplanet systems out there look so diverse,” said Dr. Christian Ginski of University of Galway scitechdaily.com. Scientists are excited to study how WISPIT 2b interacts with its natal disk, which spans about 380 AU and features striking concentric rings potentially sculpted by the planet scitechdaily.com.

Verizon has since resolved the outage and is reviewing what went wrong.
AI News Roundup: Major Breakthroughs, Bold Moves & New Rules (Sept 1–2, 2025)

AI News Roundup: Major Breakthroughs, Bold Moves & New Rules (Sept 1–2, 2025)

After years of exclusively backing OpenAI’s models, Microsoft announced two powerful AI systems built in-house semafor.com. The first is MAI-1-preview, a text generative model intended to power future versions of Microsoft’s Copilot assistant across Windows and Office semafor.com. The second is MAI-Voice-1, an advanced speech generation model capable of producing a minute of realistic audio in under a second – and notably efficient enough to run on a single GPU semafor.com. Both models emphasize cost-effectiveness: MAI-1-preview was trained on roughly 15,000 Nvidia H100 chips by using data selection tricks to “punch above its weight,” according to Microsoft’s AI chief Mustafa Suleyman semafor.com. “Increasingly, the art and craft of training models is selecting the perfect data and not wasting any flops on unnecessary tokens,” Suleyman explained semafor.com. The move signals Microsoft’s evolution from an OpenAI partner to a more independent AI leader, even as Suleyman insists the OpenAI partnership remains “great” semafor.com. Industry watchers see these first-party models as Microsoft hedging its bets in the AI arms race, ensuring it has proprietary AI expertise under its own roof.

Internet Access Upheaval: Censorship Crackdowns, Satellite Booms & Shutdowns Rock the Globe (Aug 31 – Sep 1, 2025)

Russia doubles down on censorship: In a dramatic escalation of internet control, Russia implemented new laws on September 1 targeting both communication platforms and online content. The Kremlin is forcing a switch from WhatsApp and Telegram to a domestic messaging app called “Max,” which was launched in June by state-controlled tech firm VK thebarentsobserver.com thebarentsobserver.com. All phones sold in Russia from Sept 1 onward will come with “Max” pre-installed as the default, and officials are pressuring businesses and even universities to adopt it. At the same time, merely viewing or searching for banned information online is now criminalized – a stark departure from prior rules that only punished posting or distributing “extremist” content thebarentsobserver.com thebarentsobserver.com. The government’s ever-growing blacklist of “extremist materials” has no clear boundaries, creating an atmosphere of uncertainty and fear thebarentsobserver.com thebarentsobserver.com. “The most shocking part is that mere contact with banned content is illegal: just looking at it is a crime,” noted Ekaterina Shul’man, a Russian political scientist, who pointed out the move blatantly contradicts Russia’s own constitution guaranteeing free information access thebarentsobserver.com. Analysts warn these measures will spur extreme self-censorship, as citizens become afraid to even browse the web or use VPNs for fear of

Black Holes, ‘Gamechanger’ Drug & Climate Paradox – Science Breakthroughs (Aug 31–Sep 1, 2025)

Astronomers pushed cosmic limits by identifying the most distant black hole ever confirmed – in a tiny galaxy dubbed CAPERS-LRD-z9, only ~500 million years after the Big Bang sciencedaily.com. The James Webb Space Telescope detected telltale spectroscopic signatures of fast-moving gas in this 13.3-billion-year-old galaxy, confirming a supermassive black hole ~300 million times the Sun’s mass at its core sciencedaily.com sciencedaily.com. “This adds to growing evidence that early black holes grew much faster than we thought possible, or they started out far more massive than our models predict,” said Prof. Steven Finkelstein of UT Austin sciencedaily.com. The discovery of such a colossal black hole so early in time challenges theories of how black holes form and grow – suggesting either rapid early growth or exotic formation channels sciencedaily.com. “We haven’t been able to study early black hole evolution until recently, and we are excited to see what we can learn from this unique object,” added lead researcher Dr. Anthony Taylor sciencedaily.com.

Rare Auroras, Shooting Stars and a Planet Parade: Sky Spectacle on Sept 1–2, 2025

Skywatch alert: A geomagnetic storm watch is in effect for September 1–2, 2025, as an Earth-directed coronal mass ejection arrives. This solar eruption – launched by a long-lasting M2.7-class flare on Aug 30 – is expected to buffet Earth’s magnetic field starting late on Sept 1, with disturbances continuing into Sept 2 swpc.noaa.gov. Initially, NOAA’s models predict G2 geomagnetic storm conditions when the CME hits, ramping up to G3 as the main bulk of the plasma cloud sweeps past on Sept 2 space.com. In practical terms, vibrant auroras could expand well beyond their usual polar confines.
