They have a demo of this now on Huggingface: https://huggingface.co/spaces/zama-fhe/encrypted_dna Concept is: 1. Data (e.g. DNA) is encrypted on the client side and sent to a server / service 2. Encrypted data is processed (e.g. DNA analysis, generation of health risk reports etc.) on the server and sent back to the client 3. Results are decrypted on the client side Would love to see this applied on a commercial scale. The data leak at 23andMe underscores that this is important. When using services on your sensitive data no longer requires direct access, it should also lower the barrier of entry for new companies in this space, since the trust barriers are lowered if you never hand over your unencrypted data anyway. So another benefit of this tech is that it could ultimately also lead to a more vibrant ecosystem of services that rely on processing personal data. https://warpcast.com/s5eeo/0xcb591e74

I love watching automated assembly lines do their work. It's so mesmerizing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCgnWqoP4MM

Interesting thread on treating age-related diseases vs. preventing aging: https://x.com/lnuzhna/status/1840422812491923482?s=46 The author (Lada Nuzhna) is suggesting that trying to treat a complex age-related diseases by targeting a single mechanism is the wrong approach. But the problem is that combo treatments are more expensive and complicated and it’s harder to figure out which potential combos should be given a try. But at the same time, the author still thinks that "single mechanisms in aging prevention (NOT treating age-related diseases) can and will work".

Batteries are a nice example of things that become cheaper *and* better over time. I suspect the yellow part in the bar chart and the growth it's been having is still flying under most people's radar. Charts are from here: https://rmi.org/the-rise-of-batteries-in-six-charts-and-not-too-many-numbers/

Never would have thought that a single, niche cast would make me a top caster at any point.

Found a fascinating project that simulates the evolution of artificial organisms: https://alien-project.org/ You can even just install it on your computer and run it. It also makes for a mesmerizing screensaver that eats your GPU memory for breakfast.

I learned about the twilight phenomenon today. It can occur during rocket launches 30-60 mins before sunrise or after sunset and is caused by the dispersion of sunlight by the exhaust particles as they condense, freeze and expand in the atmosphere. Beautiful.

Nice tour through the manufacturing facility at Blue Origin. The part about production starts at 09:45. https://warpcast.com/matallo.eth/0xe049b703

Interesting case study of what can be done with cheap energy, especially in places with lots of sun and access to seawater. The author basically proposes to: 1. Build a solar-powered desalination plant 2. Desalinate seawater at scale 3. Use the resulting brine for extraction of valuable minerals This could be an important economic enabler for dry regions like the Western US and increase climate resilience. Interesting quote from the article: "It seems hard to believe that such a tiny corner of such a huge desert [the Salton Sea], so far from any roads that its existence would be unknown to all but a handful of airline passengers, could be capable of producing 5 MAF of fresh water per year — California’s entire Colorado River allocation! This is the power of solar energy." https://asteriskmag.com/issues/06/its-2024-and-drought-is-optional

Fascinating story of how long and confusing the journey to find the cause and cure for scurvy was, despite the fact that it simply is a deficiency disease due to a lack of vitamin C. It makes you wonder how many seemingly complicated phenomena or problems have simple solutions. And how hard it must be to figure out causes & solutions that are actually a lot more complex than the one for scurvy. https://slimemoldtimemold.com/2022/01/11/reality-is-very-weird-and-you-need-to-be-prepared-for-that/
