I wonder if any due diligence is done on approximating good user impact from a hypothetical like this, or if they would just YOLO it.

The movie saves it for me. Like, I appreciate the last 3 episodes of NGE from a 'psychoanalysis of the writer' POV, but the real entertainment is in the catharsis of End of Evangelion.

I always liked the pseudo-realistic stack traces in Evangelion. Like, when an error happens a literal stack trace runs through their digital screens. It's realistic enough to be immersive and nostalgic, but sci-fi enough to not warrant

It's not that identity defines math from a correctness point-of-view, it's that math can become a part of and enrich your identity. Countered with the perspective that math is a chore or 'useless', this instead posits th

what does 'featurize' mean here? do you mean fingerprint feature vectors? IIRC, the computation time to get a fingerprint vector vs. extracting a murcko scaffold are pretty similar, although it depends on the fingerprint.

by whymauri 5y ago
Right, it's not technically difficult to match a scaffold -- you can probably parallelize a big RDKit job, but it's nontrivial to scale to a gigascale set. And, like you mentioned, there's rule-based substructure matching (so

Exactly what I was thinking, especially for an entirely novel molecule. I wonder how novel the scaffold is. Whichever med chemist led this initiative is an artist -- amazing job.
