Does that mean folding@home is next? I think the screensaver dying out eventually killed it. Also cloud computing.

- app4soft 7y agoThe next would be work@home (aka "freelance")
- krick 7y agoHonestly, I never cared much about SETI@home, always felt like an empty waste of resources. But folding@home or even just training LeelaChess by community really feels like a noble cause I am willing to spend some electricity for.
- rconti 7y agoWell, SETI@home would have predated folding@home, so people stuck with what they knew.
- anigbrowl 7y agoI doubt it, they're actually recruiting people right now to help with work on COVID-19 proteins.
- OJFord 7y agoAh, I used to fold. Sometimes I regret that I'm too young to hve enjoyed the early 'glory days' of personal computing, but thinking about it now, buying CustomPC magazine and finding inside it the team's folding@home league table will sound pretty weird one day, if it doesn't already.
