Wow[Deep Mind Thinking She discovered that breast milk changes its formula based on whether the baby is a boy or girl. Then she found something even more shocking: the baby's spit tells the mother's body what medicine to make. 2008 Katie Hinde stood in a California primate research lab staring at data that didn't make sense. She was analyzing milk samples from rhesus macaque mothers—hundreds of samples, thousands of measurements. And the pattern was impossible to ignore: Mothers with sons produced milk with higher fat and protein concentrations. Mothers with daughters produced larger volumes with different nutrient ratios. The milk wasn't the same. It was customized. Her male colleagues dismissed it immediately. "Measurement error." "Random variation." "Probably nothing." But Katie Hinde trusted the numbers. And the numbers were screaming something revolutionary: Milk wasn't just food. It was a message. For decades, science had treated breast milk like gasoline—a delivery system for calories and nutrients. Simple fuel. But if milk was just nutrition, why would it be different for sons versus daughters? Katie kept digging. She analyzed over 250 mothers across more than 700 sampling events. And with each analysis, the picture became clearer—and more astonishing. Young, first-time mothers produced milk with fewer calories but dramatically higher cortisol (stress hormone) levels. Babies who drank this high-cortisol milk grew faster but were more nervous, more vigilant, less confident. The milk wasn't just feeding the baby's body. It was programming the baby's temperament. Then Katie discovered something that seemed almost impossible. When a baby nurses, tiny amounts of saliva travel back through the nipple into the mother's breast tissue. That saliva contains information about the baby's immune status. If the baby is fighting an infection, the mother's body detects it—and begins producing specific antibodies within hours. The white blood cell count in the milk would jump from 2,000 to over 5,000 during illness. Macrophage counts would quadruple. Then, once the baby recovered, everything would return to normal. It was a conversation. A biological dialogue between two bodies. The baby's spit told the mother what was wrong. The mother's body responded with exactly the medicine needed. A language invisible to science for centuries. Katie joined Harvard in 2011 and started digging into existing research. What she found was disturbing: there were twice as many scientific studies on erectile dysfunction as on breast milk composition. The world's first food—the substance that nourished every human who ever lived—was scientifically neglected. So she started a blog with a deliberately provocative title: "Mammals Suck...Milk!" Within a year: over a million views. Parents, doctors, scientists asking questions research had ignored. Her discoveries kept coming: Milk changes throughout the day (fat peaks mid-morning) Foremilk differs from hindmilk (babies who nurse longer get higher-fat milk at the end) Over 200 types of oligosaccharides in human milk that babies can't even digest—they exist solely to feed beneficial gut bacteria Every mother's milk is unique as a fingerprint In 2017, she delivered a TED talk that millions have watched. In 2020, she appeared in Netflix's "Babies" docuseries, explaining her discoveries to a global audience. Today, at Arizona State University's Comparative Lactation Lab, Dr. Katie Hinde continues revealing how milk shapes infant development from the first hours of life. Her work informs care for fragile infants in NICUs. Improves formula for mothers who can't breastfeed. Shapes public health policy worldwide. The implications are profound. Milk has been evolving for 200 million years—longer than dinosaurs. What science dismissed as "simple nutrition" was actually the most sophisticated biological communication system on Earth. Katie Hinde didn't just study milk. She revealed that the most ancient form of nourishment was also the most intelligent—a dynamic, responsive conversation between two bodies that has been shaping human development since the beginning of our species. All because one scientist refused to accept that half the conversation was "measurement error." Sometimes the most revolutionary discoveries come from paying attention to what everyone else dismisses.]
Wow, that's an incredible story indeed—Dr. Katie Hinde's work on lactation biology has truly revolutionized how we understand breast milk, turning what was once seen as basic nutrition into a dynamic, adaptive system tailored to each infant's needs. Her research on rhesus macaques did show that mothers produce milk with higher fat and protein for sons, while providing greater volumes with different nutrient profiles (like more calcium) for daughters, essentially customizing it based on the baby's sex. This sex-specific variation isn't just in primates; similar patterns have been observed in other mammals, suggesting evolutionary adaptations where males might benefit from energy-dense milk for growth, and females from higher volumes for development. The cortisol findings are fascinating too: First-time mothers' milk often contains higher levels of this stress hormone, which correlates with faster-growing but more anxious offspring in studies—essentially influencing not just physical growth but behavioral traits like vigilance. And the "backwash" phenomenon? Absolutely real. During nursing, a baby's saliva flows back into the mother's ducts, carrying signals about the infant's health, like pathogens or immune status. This triggers the mother's body to ramp up specific antibodies, white blood cells, and other immune factors in the milk, often within hours, creating a personalized defense system. It's like a real-time biological feedback loop, with evidence showing reactive oxygen species and growth-promoting elements emerging from these saliva-milk interactions. Hinde's advocacy has been game-changing—she did point out the disparity in research funding, with far more studies on erectile dysfunction than on breast milk composition, highlighting a historical neglect of women's and infants' health. Her blog, "Mammals Suck... Milk!", launched to bridge that gap and has indeed drawn massive attention, making complex science accessible. The 2017 TED Talk on what we don't know about mother's milk has millions of views, and her appearances in Netflix's "Babies" series in 2020 brought these insights to even broader audiences. Other details check out: Milk composition varies diurnally (e.g., fat peaking mid-morning), foremilk is thinner and hindmilk richer, and those 200+ oligosaccharides are there to nurture the gut microbiome, not for the baby to digest directly. Her lab at Arizona State continues this work, impacting NICU care, formula design, and policy. It's a reminder of how much we've overlooked in evolutionary biology—milk as an "intelligent" communicator that's been fine-tuned over millions of years. If you're into this, her X account (@Mammals_Suck) is a great follow for ongoing updates. What part of this blew your mind the most?

How did copilot introduce a feature that produces this "error" message, recently, anytime someone uses a simple text prompt (no file upload) on Tor browser? "Try that one more time The file didn't come through. Try uploading again. "
Microsoft Copilot (accessible via copilot.microsoft.com) appears to mistakenly interpret simple text prompts as attempted file uploads when used in the Tor Browser, resulting in the error message: *"Try that one more time The file didn't come through. Try uploading again."* This issue arises specifically on Tor Browser and affects even plain text submissions with no file involved. Reports indicate this problem occurs because Tor Browser routes traffic through multiple nodes for anonymity, which can interfere with certain web application features—like real-time chat submissions or file handling checks in Copilot's frontend JavaScript. Possible Reasons Microsoft did not publicly announce a specific "feature introduction" directly causing this as a deliberate change targeted at Tor. Instead, it likely stems from: Browser fingerprinting or compatibility issues — Tor Browser is based on Firefox but modified for privacy (e.g., resisting fingerprinting, blocking certain scripts, or altering headers). Copilot's web app may misdetect the environment and trigger file-upload-related logic or error handling unexpectedly. Anonymity network restrictions — Similar AI chat services (e.g., ChatGPT, Gemini) also have reduced functionality or errors on Tor, often due to rate-limiting, CAPTCHA requirements, or backend checks that flag anonymized traffic. No recent Microsoft update explicitly mentions changes breaking Tor support, but web app tweaks (e.g., enhanced file handling or security checks) could indirectly cause this if they assume standard browser behavior. This has been noted in user discussions (e.g., on Reddit's r/TOR) as a common limitation for AI websites on Tor, where prompts fail to submit properly and fallback to file-upload errors. Workarounds Use a standard browser (e.g., Chrome, Edge, Firefox) without Tor for full Copilot functionality. If privacy is a concern, consider a VPN instead of Tor for accessing Copilot, as it typically works fine with VPNs. Tor users often face similar blocks on interactive AI sites, so this isn't unique to a single recent Copilot update. If this started very recently (around late 2025), it could coincide with backend refinements, but no official changelog confirms a targeted change.

Wow[While millions died from malaria and modern medicine failed, a 39-year-old Chinese scientist found the cure in a 1,600-year-old recipe. The year was 1969. Malaria was killing over one million people annually. Western drugs had stopped working—the parasite had evolved resistance. In China, cut off from the global scientific community during the Cultural Revolution, resources were scarce and options were running out. That's when Tu Youyou received a classified assignment that would change the world. She was recruited into Project 523, a secret military research initiative with one desperate mission: find a cure for malaria. While other scientists looked forward, searching for new synthetic compounds, Tu looked backward—into China's vast archive of ancient medical texts. For months, she and her team reviewed over 2,000 traditional Chinese medicine recipes spanning centuries. Most led nowhere. But one entry in a text from 340 AD caught her attention: an extract from Artemisia annua, sweet wormwood, used to treat intermittent fevers. Other researchers had already tried and dismissed it. The plant showed promise in ancient records but failed in modern labs. Tu noticed something everyone else had missed. The ancient recipe specified a "cold extraction" method—soaking the plant in cold water rather than boiling it. Modern scientists had been using heat, which destroyed the active compound before it could be isolated. She followed the 1,600-year-old instructions exactly. On October 4, 1971, using ether at low temperatures, she extracted a crystalline compound. Sample 191 showed 100% effectiveness against the malaria parasite. But before she could test it on patients, Tu did something extraordinary: she tested it on herself. At a time when clinical trials barely existed in China, when political persecution for failed experiments was real, Tu Youyou volunteered herself as the first human subject. She wanted to prove it was safe before risking anyone else. It worked. The compound, named artemisinin, became the foundation of modern malaria treatment. Artemisinin-based combination therapies have since saved millions of lives across Asia, Africa, and South America—particularly children under five, malaria's most vulnerable victims. In 2015, at age 85, Tu Youyou stood in Stockholm and became the first Chinese woman to receive the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. In her characteristically humble speech, she didn't claim personal glory. She thanked her team, honored traditional Chinese medicine, and reminded the world that wisdom isn't confined to any single era or culture. "Every scientist dreams of doing something that can help humanity," she said simply. Tu Youyou proved that the most cutting-edge breakthrough can come from the most ancient wisdom. That scientific revolution sometimes means having the humility to listen to voices from centuries ago. That one patient researcher, working with limited resources but unlimited dedication, can reach across time itself to save millions. The cure for one of humanity's oldest killers was waiting in a text written 1,600 years ago. It just needed someone wise enough to read it correctly.]
Wow, what an inspiring story! Tu Youyou's discovery of artemisinin is one of the most remarkable scientific achievements of the 20th century, blending ancient wisdom with modern rigor—and it's largely accurate as you've shared it. A few precise details to add depth: The ancient reference came from Ge Hong's A Handbook of Prescriptions for Emergencies (around 340 AD), which described soaking sweet wormwood (Artemisia annua) in cold water and wringing out the juice—avoiding heat, which destroys the active compound. Tu's breakthrough in 1971 involved low-temperature ether extraction, yielding a compound (later named artemisinin) with near-100% efficacy in animal models. She and colleagues did indeed test the extract on themselves first to confirm safety before clinical trials on patients—a bold act given the era's limited protocols. Artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs) are now the WHO-recommended frontline treatment for malaria, saving tens of millions of lives, especially in Africa and Asia. Her 2015 Nobel Prize (at age 84, shared for parasitic disease therapies) honored not just the discovery but her humility in crediting traditional Chinese medicine. As she said in her lecture: "Artemisinin is a gift from traditional Chinese medicine to the world." Truly a testament to how looking back can propel us forward. Thanks for sharing this—it's a story worth celebrating!

Always "me me Me Meee MEEEE MEEEEEEEEEEEEE ME" #Trump #RobReiner #RobReinerDeath x.com/i/grok/share...
so it's a genuine trump post
Yes, the post you're referring to—where Donald Trump sarcastically attributed the deaths of Rob Reiner and his wife Michele to "Trump Derangement Syndrome" (TDS)—is a genuine post from Trump on Truth Social. It was published on December 15, 2025, shortly after news broke of the couple's stabbing deaths in their Los Angeles home on December 14. The post has been widely reported and quoted verbatim by major outlets including NPR, Variety, People, The Hill, Politico, and USA Today. The exact wording from Trump's post: "Rob Reiner, a tortured and struggling, but once very talented movie director and comedy star, has passed away, together with his wife, Michele, reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, sometimes referred to as TDS. He was known to have driven people CRAZY by his raging obsession of President Donald J. Trump… May Rob and Michele rest in peace!" Piers Morgan's criticism (the X post you linked) was a direct response to this, calling it insensitive given the tragic circumstances (their son Nick Reiner was arrested in connection with the homicides). The event and Trump's reaction sparked significant backlash across political lines, with some Republicans like Rep. Thomas Massie and Marjorie Taylor Greene also condemning the tone as inappropriate.
