Producer Found Dead; AI Hunts Antibiotics, Music Honored

The executive producer of the hit TV spy thriller "Tehran," Dana Eden, was found dead in an Athens hotel room on Sunday, according to police. Eden, 52, was in Greece filming the fourth season of the show when she was discovered after a relative made several unsuccessful attempts to reach her, Israeli state broadcaster Kan reported. A production company has dismissed "rumours regarding a criminal or nationalistic-related death," according to Sky News.

Police have launched an investigation into the death. Further details about the circumstances surrounding Eden's passing have not yet been released. Eden was pictured at the season two premiere of "Tehran" in 2022, according to Sky News.

In other news, the second night of parades at Rio de Janeiro's Sambadrome opened on February 16 with a vibrant tribute to the late Brazilian singer Rita Lee. Samba school Mocidade Independente de Padre Miguel honored Lee with a performance featuring bright colors and a psychedelic aesthetic, Euronews reported. Large floats referencing Lee's legacy moved along the avenue as dancers and drummers performed before cheering crowds.

Meanwhile, in the world of technology, a cybersecurity researcher named Allison Nixon was targeted with death threats in April 2024, according to MIT Technology Review. The threats, made by anonymous individuals using the online handles Waifu and Judische, were posted on Telegram and Discord channels. Nixon, the chief research officer at the cyber investigations firm Unit 221B, had built a career tracking cybercriminals.

Also in technology, a bioengineer and computational biologist, César de la Fuente, is using AI to hunt for antibiotics. He and synthetic biologist James Collins warned of a looming postantibiotic era in a July 2025 essay in Physical Review Letters, according to MIT Technology Review. Infections caused by bacteria, fungi, and viruses that have evolved to evade treatments are now associated with more than 4 million deaths per year, and a recent analysis predicts that number could surge past 8 million by 2050.

Finally, the volume of posts and engagement per post on Hacker News' "Show HN" has changed, according to Arthur Cnops. Cnops noted that while "Show HN" isn't dead, the increased volume of projects being built has led to less "Proof of Work."
