A few years ago, Jelani Nelson developed an algorithm that allowed computers to count as easily as young children. While this may seem basic, Nelson’s work tackles the challenge of minimizing storage and improving efficiency when computers count high numbers. His team demonstrated that an existing method is the best way for a computer to count accurately without overloading its memory.

The Inner Fight
Yesterday, I had the pleasure of meeting Mr.Y, an ambitious entrepreneur eager to transform his ideas into reality. Our conversation was electric, filled with dreams and possibilities.

But as the discussion deepened, Mr.Y leaned in and asked:

"How do you keep going when all hope feels lost?"
"What do you do when revenue flows but profits don’t—or worse, when debt looms?"
"How do you handle pouring your heart and soul into something that doesn’t bear fruit—and then decide to quit?"

These questions hit hard. I paused, smiled, and replied:

“Fun fact, Mr.Y—I quit last week. Truth is, I’ve quit countless times. There are days I sit, staring at the ceiling, asking myself, Why endure this? Why suffer? Why not just get a job and leave this madness behind?

But every time, Mr.Y wakes up inside me. He shakes off the doubts and whispers, ‘One more day. Let’s try again.’

That’s the secret. The struggle, the setbacks, the sleepless nights—they’re not signs of failure; they’re the fires that forge character. Those tough days? They don’t break you—they shape you into someone who’s stronger, smarter, and better prepared for tomorrow.”

I looked Mr.Y in the eye and said:

“Keep going, no matter what. It’s tough, yes. But if you’re consistent, if you push forward despite the odds, you’ll become the person who turns dreams into reality.

Tomorrow might not be easier, but it will be worth it. So, don’t quit, Mr.Y. Because the best is yet to come.” don't pause the strike.

I want to share a story about my friend, Kalkidan—a talented Python developer and a key contributor to the Ethiopian dev community. He’s known for building amazing Telegram bots that many of us use and benefit from. But what’s truly inspiring? He’s done all of this using just his phone.

Despite his passion and dedication, not having a laptop makes it harder for him to grow and achieve more. That’s why I’ve decided to start a fundraising campaign to help him buy a laptop.

This is the biggest thing I want to achieve this year, and with your help, we can make it happen! Every contribution counts, no matter how small. Let's give Kalkidan (a.k.a kkyk )the tools he needs to keep growing and supporting our community.

Let's make this dream a reality! 💙

Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, China, and Egypt follow Ethiopia as the countries with the highest rate of retractions, according to the study, which was conducted by Achal Agrawal, a data scientist based in Chhattisgarh, India. Agrawal founded India Research Watchdog, a site that keeps tabs on scientific research conducted in India.

While some studies could have been retracted because of honest errors, the study suggests that “a good proportion” of retractions are due to some sort of misconduct.

Countries that had high retraction rates in the analysis period typically saw a sharp rise in their total publication output in the 5 years through 2023, the study found. Such a rise in output by a country without concurrent development in its research infrastructure is usually a sign of a large number of bogus studies that eventually lead to more retractions, the paper suggests.

“This calls into question the current incentive system which promotes quantity over quality,” the paper says.
