Right now, when you send a query to an LLM, it gets decrypted on the server. The LLM sees your data in plain text. Prof. Ajay Joshi (BU, CipherSonic AI ) on fully homomorphic encryption, which may be key for the future of AI privacy: how we can compute on data without ever decrypting it. The catch: it's a brutally memory-bound workload. Exactly the bottleneck wafer-scale was built to solve.

"An invisible forever chemical rain is falling across the planet" (Science Daily). From the report: "Chemicals used to replace ozone-damaging CFCs are now emerging as a major source of a widespread forever chemical, according to new research. The pollutant is now showing up everywhere from rainwater to remote Arctic ice, and scientists expect levels to keep rising." Our skies have long since been utilized for endless climate engineering operations and nonstop chemical dispersion experiments, the controllers have carried out their agendas and objectives with total impunity, our life-sustaining atmosphere is breaking down by the day. Try not to breathe, and try not to burn up in the now DNA-damaging UV radiation. Geoengineering is weather warfare, do you object? Follow us for more: Dane Wigington

Nagpur: Cotton takes brown and green shades at ICAR-Central Institute for Cotton Research. Scientists say natural shades of these new cotton varieties will not fade and may reduce the need for chemical dyes in the textile industry. According to researchers, with no dyeing required for these cotton varieties, water usage will be less. Which will also keep rivers free from liquid wastes.

🚨🇺🇦🔥 Ukrainian long-range strikes reportedly reached Volgograd overnight, with FP-5 Flamingo cruise missiles targeting the Volgogradpromproekt industrial facility. The company specializes in special chemicals, including organophosphorus compounds, flame retardants, resins and other industrial chemical components. Its products are used across several sectors of Russian industry, including military aviation, shipbuilding and other specialized industrial applications. 🔥 The significance lies in the target set: Ukraine is increasingly going after industrial nodes that support Russia’s broader military production base, not just frontline logistics or energy infrastructure. Strikes on specialized chemical suppliers can create downstream disruption across multiple defense sectors at once, making them potentially more consequential than the physical damage to a single facility might suggest.

The EPA is working with the chemical companies “The EPA made a request in the US Court of Appeals to vacate the current PFOS forever chemical drinking water regulation standards” They want to increase PFAS contamination in water “EPA argued that the 2024 maximum contaminant level standards, which they already delayed in May of this year, should be reversed because parts of the rulemaking process were unlawful. More specifically, the EPA said that some of the PFOS drinking rules were made without allowing the public to comment on and participate in the rulemaking process.” “The EPA's reasoning here is extremely inconsistent because the EPA recently rescinded their pesticide application record keeping rule without following the rulemaking process where the public can make comments. This makes it extremely hard to believe that the EPA isn't just doing what's best for the chemical industry, especially since this action was pushed for by the American Waterworks Association and chemical groups. The EPA's request will likely further delay the requirements for water utilities to ensure that PFAS forever chemicals are below certain levels in drinking water supply are entirely removed. The EPA said that they want to shift away from a combination of the maximum contaminant level goal and hazard index to only a hazard index. Since the EPA hasn't provided any more clarity as to what exactly this would look like, the move is creating more uncertainty regarding the future of our water supply. A representative from the chemical conglomerate Kemira said the company wholly supports the EPA's decision”

Three new toxic pesticides just hit your food, and nobody warned you. The EPA quietly approved three forever chemical pesticides for use on America's food supply, with no warning to the farm workers who handle them or the families eating the food they're sprayed on. The approvals, first reported by the Environmental Working Group, allow the chemicals to be sprayed directly on major food crops including wheat and citrus. The EPA's own internal data links them to animal tumors and persistent water contamination. The approvals were posted quietly, with no notice to the press or the public. These aren't replacing glyphosate. They're being sprayed alongside it, because glyphosate-resistant weeds have developed and the industry needs another chemical to keep the crops clear. Every step forward on food safety seems to get matched by a quiet step back in the opposite direction.

Most people are breathing in harmful chemicals every day They plug in fresheners just like this and think nothing of it This crazy video shows the real intensity of these chemical fragrances Perfumes, deodorants, laundry liquids and more… full of carcinogenic and endocrine disrupting compounds Well those toxins have to go somewhere, and when we breathe them in, they’re going into our systems. That sore throat, headaches, sniffles and “cold” could be from your body detoxing the many chemical scented products in your household. Make sure to have as much fresh air as possible in the home and instead use natural essential oils and water diffusers if you want a scent.

YouTuber Sourav Joshi has built a huge gym at his house. He has now spent lakhs of rupees on premium, expensive gym machines. But his family doesn't even know how to use those machines properly. Three people are running on the same treadmill at the same time, and they're even making their dog run on the treadmill. The reason Sourav Joshi is giving for building his own gym at home is that when he used to wake up at 5 am to go to the gym, people would already be waiting outside his house and would follow him. According to him, they disturbed him while he was going to the gym. It's hard to believe that people would wake up at 5 am just to wait outside Sourav Joshi's house. When did he become such a huge star? People don't even gather outside the homes of Bollywood stars like that; even they sometimes have to pay people to create crowds. If people stop Sourav Joshi at the airport to meet him, will he build his own private airport too?

Dr. Benjamin Bikman's lab just proved that vaping is worse than smoking for your health. Bikman and lung expert Paul Reynolds published multiple papers comparing cigarette smoke to the hyper-heated molecules from vaping. They measured two things: 1) Insulin resistance 2) Inflammatory damage to the airway The results: "Chemical for chemical, vaping caused more damage to the airway and greater insulin resistance than traditional cigarettes." Insulin resistance is the symptoms for almost all chronic diseases killing us, including heart disease, type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer's, even erectile dysfunction and infertility. An entire generation switched to vaping believing it was the safer option. Bikman's data suggests it may be the opposite. As Steven Bartlett responded: "That's horrifying." Bikman's reply: "It is. In part because of just how common it's become." — Dr. Benjamin Bikman (Benjamin Bikman) on Steven Bartlett's (@SteveBartlettSC) Diary of a CEO podcast PS. This account exists to share unconventional health insights every human needs to hear. If this post interests you, follow me for more - you won't want to miss what we've got scheduled out next.

Mainstream Media Reporting On TOXIC Chemicals In Our Food That Are Legal To Use In America But Illegal In Europe, China & India 🌱☣️ Chemicals Widely Known To Produce Tumors In Humans Are Just Fine In America But Banned Overseas Professor Eric Milstone is an expert on food additives “It's not just potassium bromate, but many other chemicals and substances that are banned here in Europe over health concerns, but considered safe by the FDA.” “All of the food tested in this study contain chemicals that have been found to be hazardous to health, and shopping for organic food isn't a surefire way to avoid these chemicals.” “Researchers found that 99% of grocery store foods and fast foods they tested contain phthalates. Additionally, 79% of the food samples also contain bisphenol, an industrial chemical that's used in plastic manufacturing.” “It’s bread, but one ingredient is missing. Potassium bromate is a suspected carcinogen that's banned for human consumption in Europe as well as China and India, but legal in the US where it's used by some food makers to strengthen dough” Evidence It’s “Toxic to human consumers, that it may even either initiate or promote the development of tumors.”

Our first reactor? Sean Hunt and I built it from Home Depot parts in three weeks. Rented a lab behind Dallas Love Field, had to rip out the ceiling panels to fit it. That machine started a multibillion-dollar company. People keep trying to throw it away. It still works. A year earlier I was 26, doing my MD/PhD, studying how pancreatic cancer hides from the immune system using chemistry. The mechanism? Cancer cells were producing hydrogen peroxide to blind immune cells. But the enzyme doing it? It was more efficient than anything in industrial chemistry. Cancer was outperforming a $6 trillion industry. A few months later, I was at a poker game in med school. Got seated next to Sean, an MIT chemical engineering PhD. He was studying hydrogen peroxide production at massive industrial scales. I told him his approach was techno-economically insane. Traditional chemical engineering: heat, pressure, heterogeneous catalysis. The whole industry operates at 20% yield and considers that acceptable. I'd just watched cancer cells hit 90%+. I was a cancer biologist. He was a chemical engineer. What if we married our two worlds? Six months later we pitched enzyme-based chemical production at MIT's 100K. We lost, taking second place for $10,000. I thought: "Either this works or I go be a doctor." So we drove Sean's Subaru to Home Depot and bought the biggest PVC pipe that we could find. They cut it so it would fit in the trunk. Three weeks later we had a leaking prototype, held together with zip ties, producing chemicals at 4x the industry average yield. That prototype made us the peroxide kings of Dallas. Two float spa owners saw our MIT pitch and shared it in their Facebook group. Suddenly we were supplying an entire niche we didn't know existed. We spent the next months driving around Houston, hand-delivering product. Made $10,000 a month from that PVC reactor. We had profitably miniaturized the chemicals industry. Same thing Nucor did for steel: decentralized production. That was 2016. Today: - Bioforges in Houston, Texas - Shipped 150M lbs of chemicals last year - DoD contracts for critical chemical precursors - Shipping container reactors deploying internationally - DOE Loan Programs Office funding (same program that backed Tesla) - Almost $1 billion raised from Founders Fund, Blackrock, Temasek, GIC, Baillie Gifford People have no idea how huge the chemical industry is. One of our customers: An 80-person water treatment company in rural America, quietly doing $250M annual revenue, with $150M spent just on chemicals. And there are thousands more like them. This is why it's a $6T market. And the supply chains are fragile. America has zero domestic TNT production until 2028. We import dozens of critical chemicals needed for semiconductor manufacturing. COVID and tariffs made it obvious: We don't make the chemicals we need to make the things we need. Much is learned in the making of things. You can read all the papers, draft business plans, theorize. But you don't know if it works until you're tearing out ceiling panels to fit a reactor and hand-delivering product to float spas at 6 AM. The gap between theoretically possible and actually manufacturable is where companies live or die. I keep finding that the hardest problems in one industry have already been solved in another, or by nature. Cancer biology solved industrial chemistry for us. Nucor proved the business model. Materials science is what unlocks Kardashev. Energy abundance needs materials breakthroughs. Defense needs domestic supply chains. AI scaling needs physical infrastructure. Physical bottlenecks determine whether we can actually build the future we're betting on. It all comes back to atoms. Here I share what I learn: the cross-industry connections, the weird market dynamics, the supply chain vulnerabilities nobody's talking about, and the (sometimes) boring technology that makes it happen. If you're building in the world of atoms, I want to hear from you. You can just do things.

🇺🇸🇺🇦 Jared Kushner on rebuilding Ukraine after the war: "One of the lines of effort we’ve been doing with President Zelensky and his team has really been putting together the prosperity plan. And they’ve been working with Ajay Banga from the World Bank and Larry Fink and Charles from BlackRock: a great team. And so that’s been very, very interesting to do, which is to understand the full potential of Ukraine. And the more time everyone spends on it, the more excited they become." Of course, the war would need to end pretty soon with the way it's currently going, or else there's going to be very little to be excited about. Writer: Mhedi

We are never going back go a time where mothers ask less questions about the pharmaceutical products “experts” say are safe. We are never going back to a time where Americans trust top-down medical advice more. We are never going back to a time where Americans read food labels less or don’t want more transparency. We are never going back to a time where patients won’t increasingly reject the legacy medical system and demand personalized answers. We are never going back to a time where Americans trust food and chemical companies who run ads saying they are on the side of science. Medical Influcners and healthcare lobbyists are living in a bizarro world to think things will return to normal. RFK has won culturally, and anyone in the healthcare space who doesn’t realize this will soon become irrelevant.

The reason Gavin Newsom vetoed the forever chemicals ban bill was just exposed.
