#Protein Powders and Shakes Contain High Levels of Lead. Also cadmium and inorganic arsenic.
Researchers at Consumer Reports tested various protein powders and shakes and their conclusion was Jesus Christ that's a lot of lead.

Protein Powders and Shakes Contain High Levels of Lead
CR tests of 23 popular protein powders and shakes found that most contain high levels of lead.

Trump pardons jailed ex-Colorado election official Tina Peters, but she was charged in state court
President Trump said he is granting a pardon to Tina Peters, a former Colorado county clerk who was convicted of allowing unauthorized access to voting machines — even though the pardon power is widely understood to only apply to federal crimes.

Verifying Correctness of Shared Channels in a Cooperatively Scheduled Process-Oriented Language
Correct concurrent behaviour is important in understanding how components will act within certain conditions. In this work. we analyse the behaviour of shared communicating channels within a coorporatively scheduled runtime. We use the refinement checking and modelling tool FDR to develop both specifications of how such shared channels should behave and models of the implementations of these channels in the cooperatively scheduled language ProcessJ. Our results demonstrate that although we can …

Targeted Pooled Latent-Space Steganalysis Applied to Generative Steganography, with a Fix
Steganographic schemes dedicated to generated images modify the seed vector in the latent space to embed a message, whereas most steganalysis methods attempt to detect the embedding in the image space. This paper proposes to perform steganalysis in the latent space by modeling the statistical distribution of the norm of the latent vector. Specifically, we analyze the practical security of a scheme proposed by Hu et. al. for latent diffusion models, which is both robust and practically undetecta…

Had a great time presenting our paper “Domain-specific tensor languages” today at #ICFP2025 in Singapore 🇸🇬

Formation of C-centers in Si-based systems by light ion irradiation
Atomic-scale crystal defects in Si are quantum-light sources offering tantalizing integration with existing photonic technologies. Yet, the controlled creation of near-infrared color centers for long- haul quantum communication and information still remains a challenge. In this work, we utilize light ions, such as H+ and He+, to gently generate quantum emitters in a crystalline Si matrix. Temperature-dependent photoluminescence measurements demonstrate the presence of optically-active defects, …

This summer, Mikhail Loshchinin set out for Russia on a motorcycle with German plates, reaching the border in Latvia on July 1.
At the Ubylinka checkpoint on the Russian side, he presented his Russian passport.
According to his mother, Olga, he didn’t use his Belgian passport because of the urgency of the trip and to avoid needing a visa.
Russian border guards examined Loshchinin’s phone and likely discovered his many contacts in Ukraine.
After holding him for several…

Belgian-Russian dual citizen charged with treason after trying to visit father in St. Petersburg following a heart attack
A 48-year-old man with dual Russian and Belgian citizenship has been charged with treason in Russia following an attempt to visit his father, who recently suffered a heart attack. Mikhail Loshchinin’s family is scattered across Europe. He has lived in Germany for the past several years, working as a database administrator in Luxembourg. His mother is in Poland, his father is in St. Petersburg, and his sister is a Ukrainian citizen. Mikhail also has many friends in Ukraine, i…
