The dietary guidelines for Americans, and most other Westerners emphasizes a diet rich in grains, produce, and low-fat dairy, while discouraging saturated fats, eggs, red meat, and whole milk, advocating for limited saturated fat consumption based on 1961 recommendation in favor of PUFAS (polyunsaturated fats) based on flawed studies funded by Proctor & Gamble, showing after a reevaluation of studies 60 years later 88% of studies did not support the idea of saturated fat causing heart disease but rather finding it essential to our health and child development

New study on microchip powered by light rather than electricity published in Nature Photonics, outlining how the chip utilizes photons for calculations, overcoming limitations of traditional silicon chips, exploiting light’s speed and energy efficiency, potentially enhancing computing speed and reduce energy consumption, unlike conventional silicon chips adhering to Moore’s Law, integrating seamlessly with existing production methods and can enhance graphics processing units (GPUs) crucial for training large language models (LLMs) like Google’s Gemini and OpenAI’s ChatGPT

Deep-sea mining is a phenomenon that is increasingly becomming discussed as a solution on metals like cobalt, manganese, and nickel, essential for low-carbon technologies that supposedly could save the environment, worrying researchers about the haste of the process, as the ecological impacts of deep-sea mining on the undersea environment is not fully understood and could potentially devastate the life under the sea

Google unlikely to be replaced by AI in the short term, due to most searches involve simply adding .com and sending the user to the right website, while the user generally is uninterested in learning more about the history of the company, making AIs only stand out when the user wants additional information about ’why does it rain’ instead of just whether or not it actually rains
