I never said he is a jerk, just why some might state he is. There seems to be another comment replying to you giving more justification. Also just because I've personally found someone as pleasant doesn't mean that they can't

He can have some very strong opinions which he has acknowledged in his most recent blog post and that can rub people the wrong way. But all my personal interactions with him (not that there have been many) have been pleasant.

I don't know how you would classify this for replace vs augment. However Neural Network force fields which replace traditional forcefields in simulations are and have been an active area of work. There are plenty of examples but I&#x27

Using Neural Networks to solve differential equations have been a hot topic under Physics Informed Neural Networks at the last few NVIDIA GTCs. And arguably my work can also fall under a similar umbrella as well. So your lab was definitely

In my time as a PhD student (granted still there currently just at the finishing things up stage) I was actually part of founding an organization for students to basically do this. We invited speakers from different fields and had them talk

That's a cool way I had never thought about it being used. Just for my own curiosity do you know if that is a common use case in the protein solving field? (I'd imagine it would also be useful in NMR experiments for getting initia

My memory is a little rusty, but I believe yes. If I remember correctly simulation of the virus helped medically in a few ways. Specifically I think it gave insight into the mRNA vaccines and what sequences to use to make them effective (by

As an insider to both fields (and specifically their juncture to molecular dynamics). What you are discussing is of course being studied but the problem is that it is a lot more computationally expensive. We do have simulations of simple (r

I always enjoyed forums that had "Newbie Corners" where newbies could go to introduce themselves if they wished, otherwise I rarely saw the newbie welcoming type of interaction outside of that corner. (Unless it was obvious the ne

If I'm reading your comment correctly, then fingering has the same connotation in the U.S. as well, it is also synonymous with third base. (Also have never heard the term either.)

I mean nothing is stopping you from skipping validation with pre-alphafold techniques and say for drug discovery to already do drug screening using the predicted structure. It's just the drug screening software is already error prone s

Looking at Google Scholar it appears the related paper is here: https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1361-6463/ac006f/... There also appears to be a patent but I don't trust my googlefu enough

I am not an MIT researcher however my university dropped Elsevier at some point and I think generally the experience and sentiment is similar across universities and fields from the admittedly small sample size I have. It makes things more

I had this problem a few months ago, but because Sci-Hub doesn't have supporting information currently. Yes, I understand normally that is free anyways on journals but for whatever reason this journal (owned by Elsevier ofc) did not ha

Yes, ludicrously so, platinum is one of the most expensive metals. Edit: For actual values (per gram), Gallium ~0.50 USD, Platinum ~33.22 USD

Just for the record enzyme does not mean organism. Enzymes are non-self replicating so the "grey goo" scenario isn't a problem until we introduce them into organisms but then the energy they derive from the plastic must be gr

It is often a model organism in plant studies, similar to mice in drug discovery. Mostly because it has a quick growth time, is fairly hardy, and just the fact it has been so well studied means that a lot is known about it. I am not a plant

As long as you can clearly define your starting axioms you can mathematically prove or disprove anything. The physical example would be to just say, suppose a universe with the same properties of ours exist but where the gravitational const

Just to add my two cents as someone who recently switched to Colemak-DH after getting a moonlander (I used a das ultimate for years though), but I am currently typing this on my laptop using QWERTY. I feel like switching between the two isn

The graph on here seems similar to what I've noticed. My lab mainly uses Tensorflow mainly driven by my knowledge. And the only reason why I learned Tensorflow initially was that PyTorch was just starting when I was choosing a framewor

I can't imagine the infrastructure to do it is trivial, but I would say the larger burden is network effect. Bandcamp has existed for a long time and I know of indie record labels who use it as their default distribution. I am aware th

This feels like a major blow, as someone who just semi recently (probably around pandemic start) started getting into purchasing flac music from indie artists, Bandcamp was a great source of music. I understand nothing will change in the sh

Just as a point, your argument is a false dichotomy. The only two choices you allow are a ruthless capitalistic society or a communist society. The poster could have allowed for any colorful regions of societies in between. I would argue mo
