If your metric is growth I guess this is where you end up

I think the first argument of there being a good toolchain is nonsense, obviously there was something before C with a great toolchain.

So will you tell me Steve Jobs was part of the MK-Ultra project too?

I was going to post this but you beat me to it. I think we need the folks whom do not enter the terminal to start using it instead of the other way around.

Don’t be so sure about that..

AI made a large improvement in accuracy on a specific protein dataset. We still don't know how exactly protein folding works. So no, it's not solved.

It did a lot more than that; no, it didn’t “solve” protein folding but for people whose interests are not “work out how protein folding works” it basically removes “solve protein folding” as one of the potential bottlenecks for what they actually want to study.

Turns out that “give a reasonable probability of being close enough such that you can bootstrap a solution out of experimental data” gives a very high utility and effectively obsoleted several experimental techniques overnight; pretty much “Molecular replacement” is about the only technique for phasing resolution anyone bothers with any more.

But again, “Bio” is an _extremely_ broad term; for every part of the field Alphafold had a big effect on there are a thousand different parts of the field that it did nothing for.

people need to be better at gatekeeping

when will we see MIT license Qwen again?
