Scientists discover that gluten enteropathy (celiac disease) occurs as at an earlier stage than previously thought. Even at the surface of the epithelial cell, CD4-positive T-cells are activated, and pre-digestion of gluten protein by bacterial enzymes enhances the process. The only way to avoid this reaction is not to eat gluten – easier said than done.

Quanta Magazine talks about tensors. I hoped I'd finally learn what the physics tensors are, but they only discuss the simple high-dimensional matrix explanation that you hear about so often, and of which physicists always say "Well, that's close to what it is, but...."
Then you read things like:
"Tensors are not generalizations or formalizations of vectors or matrices" (usually with exclamation points and raising of voice).

––– 凄い ––– I saw this article in Financial Times – Kamala Harris is more trusted than Donald Trump on the US economy. I thought, Really? Let's see where that came from, because it goes against all intuition. Nope, no data. Here's the AI summary of this article:
So it's really just editorial, not a real analysis. And then they published an editorial about why the writer is no longer interested in a Tesla. Here's the AI summary:
What the hell is going on at FInancial Times? Or with quality media in general?
