The press release is a bit difficult to place into historical context. I believe that the first AlphaFold release was mostly human and mouse proteins, and this press release marks the release of structures for additional species.
This is it.

It gives me control of each application individually.

I can snapshot, back up, and even migrate each application between machines easily.

It also helps out when I have an application that I need to control versions in. Using the latest tag can be fun and exciting (read dangerous and cause breakage), so if the tag is in the docker-compose file I immediately know what version that snapshot was running if I need to look back.
Seems obvious that showing people relevant, quality content drives engagement more than showing unrelatable, boring stuff from your long-lost friends and politically extreme uncle. Driving engagement is something FB and IG have always had as their North Star, just with the self-imposed limitation of using your friend network to do it. Now that they see what TikTok has done they want that juicier business instead.

It's a bummer that there doesn't seem to be a great place to grow or maintain old/distant friendships (like the early days of FB) but hopefully this will open space for smaller players to get involved in that, if anyone has any time left in their day for it...

An interesting next step would be to generate real-world friendships from TikTok's acutely tuned interest graph. Friendships are still mostly outcomes of a certain circumstance in the meatspace. You met at a party, or are the friend of a friend etc. It's a really weak algorithm for finding the right people to hang out with IRL.
My mom was an attorney. A really sound piece of advice she gave me was, "Never get into a legal battle with a lawyer. You can't win." What she was saying was that an attorney can essentially sue you for free. (Ok not totally free but you get the point). They can tie you up in legal battles and force you to just waste money on something that is seemingly trivial. The same advice goes for someone who can spend large sums of money and not worry about the consequences.

There is this great scene in the movie "From The Hip" where the CEO of a bank assaulted another individual. The scene is his lawyer saying he thinks they can win the case. The CEO responds essentially with "You can't win. I hit him. Just make the case last 3 days so he has to spend more money." That pretty much sums up being rich and the power those people wield.
in such large projects linking is also a severe bottleneck, which I hear has been repeatedly tried to be addressed with alternative linkers
Computer and phone interfaces tend to be very colorful. Sometimes a UI designer doesn’t know how to fit extra dimensions of information on screen, they encode that information in color, but it doesn’t always work. Colors are picked up by brands and coupled with unimportant information and identities, and we are forced to see this when when we go outside (in civilization).

All my displays are greyscale, and when I turn off the color filter I feel like I’m looking at a trash bin full of neon candy. My short term memory suffers (my theory is that I use color as a mnemonic for thinking, and in the mind: re-coloring is more demanding then coloring, and un-coloring seems impossible, given a complex virtual interface).

Maybe there’s a kind of color-based sensory exhaustion going on from an over-use of color for brand-related messaging and UI, which is subconsciously or unconsciously compensated by reducing the color of everyday objects.
Alternatively, people in the past had fewer possesions (not out of virtuous minimialism as some people portray, but sheer economic reality), and so had more time to consider how each would fit in.
This is a great response. Another good response is to ask the philosopher to prove the existence of infinity.
It's an interesting idea, and why not write a paper about it and try to get it published? Every academic needs papers with their name on them, and thinking about this had to be fun, if you don't have anything useful to do with your time.

But as an actual scientific investment, in my opinion, it belongs pretty near the bottom of pile of things we should spend our astronomy / cosomology / astrophysics budget on. The cost per unit of new information is just way too large, and the risk of mission failure too high, to justify making it a priority.
That could be the difference between making a biweekly payroll and not for a low volume small business.
You're treating VC's as rational economic entities with only money at play. VCs have personal interest, and sometimes have other stake in the situation. If your background is coal mining, and you are a VC who also holds significant stake in coal mines, you are very likely to fund CCS ventures with high risk for reasons which do not equate directly to the ROI inherent in that specific CCS venture and its future share worth.

See Twiggy Forrest and Mike Cannon Brookes. They're investing in solar to power a long-line HVDC feed from NT Australia to Singapore, and Forrest is funding H2 plants in Gladstone, Qld Australia to supply a future Hydrogen market which doesn't yet exist. Why? because they WANT TO.

"oh, if you want to, then you aren't a VC" .. sorry, its not always just about the money.
You're absolutely correct. The american system is captured by those with capital and what those with capital want is obedient wage slaves.
Javascript is currently the most popular language, and many developers get exposed to it sooner or later. Should we be regarding it as part of "CS fundamentals" now? We didn't even learn it in my school.

Point being, the stack has grown larger, and just like we don't expect programmers to know electrical engineering, I don't think we should require front-end devs to know low-level knowledge (just like I wouldn't require backend devs to know CSS)
For what it's worth, I respectfully disagree. The people Thiel should have gone after are those who leaked to the public.

I can't say I read Gawker or was a fan of what they did, or saying it was morally upstanding. But they were the wrong target. It was bizarre to me that Thiel would go after them, except if you look at it as Thiel not really caring about the actual spread of information, and instead look at it as Thiel scaring away any sort of journalist or journalistic organization from scrutinizing him at all on any controversial topics. It just seemed like a classic case of defending the freedom of speech of the morally questionable to protect freedom of speech in general.

I don't remember the Hogan case in detail as it's been awhile, but to me Gawker was not the really offending person. It was whoever recorded that. Why Thiel went after Gawker rather than the person who clearly violated expectations of privacy in a way that might land them in jail in many districts is beyond me.

Why? She undoubtedly broke the law (that she knew about) in Russia. If a Russian came to America and broke the law they would have to stay and pay the price. Why should she get any special treatment?

Do you also feel this way about paywall circumvention logic?

To me, this is an example of where a browser trying to be a good agent for users overall separates from a browser trying to be a good agent for any particular user. Yes, selfishly, I would rather skip paywalls and not see ads, but an internet where the browsers did that by default for everyone would be a much worse internet.

The horse was always evolving. Going into the truly modern wars like the Crimea war (dumb name) the Russians were very impressed with the abilities of British horses. The Brits had really worked on scientific horse breeding and made some really high endurance horses that also reach amazing speeds.

All the alternative entities will also sometimes freeze funds for incoming credit card payments due to some algo-decision flagging them. Both fraud and such anti-fraud measures are an unavoidable part of the credit card infrastructure.

The major difference is that some platforms offer more hand-holding support and some don't, but even those who will talk to you (e.g. your local bank) can and sometimes will refuse unblocking such funds for a prolonged time.

Well, sure, but the desktop itself is pretty solid.

I've had all my relatives on bog standard Linux desktops for the past decade or so, and the half-yearly questions about it are limited to things like "what does disk full mean?" and "should I press this button that says 'Upgrade'?" (yes, you should).

That's when all your applications are web based anyway. If you have special local software needs you should of course use whatever they support.

Prompt:

Write a short abstract for an article on why AlphaFold isn't just a tremendous technological achievement, but an example of how Artificial Intelligence will allow humanity to continue to achieve technological progress in the future:

Response:

When DeepMind’s AlphaFold was announced as the winner of the CASP13 protein folding prediction competition, it was hailed as a major breakthrough in both artificial intelligence (AI) and biology.

While AlphaFold is undoubtedly a remarkable achievement, it is also a clear example of how AI can be used to solve complex problems that have traditionally been seen as beyond the reach of machines.

In particular, AlphaFold represents a significant advance in the ability of AI systems to learn from limited data. Unlike previous AI approaches to protein folding, which relied on large datasets of known protein structures, AlphaFold was able to produce accurate predictions with only a small number of known protein structures to work from.

This ability to learn from limited data is likely to be increasingly important as we face problems that are too complex for us to fully understand and collect all the data we would need to solve them using traditional methods.

In the future, AI systems like AlphaFold will become increasingly important in helping us to make progress on a wide range of pressing challenges, from developing new medicines to tackling climate change.
Casacading alpplies to all elements in the cascade. Whether you want it or not.

At the same time it's impossible to say "hey, I want to inherit from that particular style", and not have the cascade apply to it. For example, I want a button and I don't want anything in the hierarchy above overriding its borders, or colors, or fonts, or...
Telnet is more often available in older/properly configured windows systems. Curl is nix and doesn’t have the history of availability of telnet. Good to know both.

> In practice, there is precedent that two separate Chinese courts don't give a damn about the GPL: https://www.chinaiplawyer.com/china-court-protects-violation...

The GPLv3 states https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.en.html

You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.

so I think the two courts were correct in concluding that the former employee did not have a license to his former employer's unpublished modifications to GPL code.

Maybe there is precedent of courts not giving a damn about the GPL, but that example isn't such a case.

How do you expect to create "healthy, livable cities" at a time when cities are in decline, perhaps even becoming obsolete? First, the internet killed physical retail, recently, the pandemic killed more businesses/opportunities and caused an exodus of WFH-ers, and in some cities there's a very visible rise in crime, drugs, and homelessness.

Removing private cars from cities won't revolutionise them, when the roads are still going to be full of commercial vehicles, buses, and taxis. Yeah, it'll make it somewhat safer for cyclists and reduce air pollution and noise a little - but not enough to turn a declining urban dystopia into a desirable place to live.

Unless of course, you're very wealthy and can live in a luxury apartment with good security and plenty of distance from the 'rough areas'.
>If you really want to stop gang violence, people in poverty need opportunity and investment.

The theory you are presenting, of monocausal criminality due to economic conditions, has been analyzed thoroughly and rejected decisively by the field of criminology for decades, now. It's easy to see why: we can compare impoverished groups both nationally and globally and discover that there is simply no causal, consistent relationship between poverty and violent criminality.

To be sure, economics can play a role and become a factor in motivating criminal behavior, but violent criminality is ultimately a choice that people make, not a direct consequence of poverty. Indeed, many groups suffering tremendous poverty exhibit very low rates of violent crime, and likewise, Suge Knight exists.
I used to contribute to FOSS, but i left because of a specific kind of people. Some people that have visions about making FOSS better, but are uncompromising and unagreeable on their methods. And are not afraid of shaming people they disagree with.

Imagine my face when i saw that all (not exaggerating, ALL of them) FOSS contributors who harassed me out also signed the RMS removal letter. I think the public shaming and witch hunt thing is some kind of kink of them and they are doing much more harm to FOSS then RMS ever will. This is why i signed the support letter and donated to the FSF.

Seeing these peoples reaction to RMS being reinstated instilled warmth and Schadenfreude into my heart.
Somebody actually flag-killed you for saying stainless steel wasn't a color.

I think you're making a really good point. If there was an obvious durability difference between toasters (plastic vs. stainless steel), I'd take the steel one even if I liked the cherry red one better. If the red one I preferred were also steel, then that would be the question this experiment intends to examine (I'd be choosing on color.)

Colorful shit is often cheap shit.

edit: You can get plastic stuff "stainless steel color" by plating it with a thin foil, but then I'm definitely going for one of the colorful, dyed plastics, because that stuff is going to flake off.
Around the turn of the century there were many tinkerers all across the world working on the problem of powered flight. Each person's success would be recorded in the local newspaper, and they were generally unaware of each other's work until a few years after the fact.
> Yes, that's what CI/CD is for.

Not really. CI/CD is a methodology where a team immediately integrates new changes into a trunk/release. The CI/CD pipeline is there to give the team the confidence to merge your stuff. When I see people constantly pushing breaking code into a CI pipeline I see an incredible amount of wasted time and shared computing resource. Especially if it's some trivial formatting check that you should have already done locally. You do what works for you, but tools like pre-commit were invented to save time and effort and they work well.

> I've set up my editor correctly to auto-format and lint everything at I develop, meaning 99.9999% of the time sure the code I commit will pass all these linter checks.

Then what is the problem? Have your team installed hooks that take a long time to run? Even on larger codebases pre-commit adds a negligible amount of time to each commit, unless perhaps you've touched every file in the codebase or something. Honestly your gripe with pre-commit seems mostly irrational.
That's exactly what this is, but it's embarrassing that it's coming from somewhere purported to be a lab. Any of the hundreds or more of labs working in protein structure prediction for the past 50 years could have made this press release at any time and said, "look, we used a computer and it told us these are the structures, we solved the protein universe!"

It's not to diminish the monumental accomplishment that was the application of modern machine learning techniques to outpace structure prediction in labs, but other famous labs have already moved to ML predictions and are competitive with DeepMind now.

I wrote "countries", not "continents". I also have not claimed that the US is the most violent country.

By the metric you've presented as a yard stick for violence (Peace Index), there are only 33 countries which are worse off than the US.

Sure, those 33 countries mean the US has a worse peace index than ~80% of countries, not 100%. I concur that (based on this metric alone) the US is not the #1 most violent country.

Having said that: being worse than 80% of countries on any metric, in my opinion, is easily enough to be able to say "worse than the rest of the world" and have a reasonable expectation for that to be understood as hyperbole.
So, ads are a source of malware because they allow someone to pay to take a trusted position: People trust Google not to send them to the wrong place, but Google sells the top result slot to the highest bidder (users can't tell they're ads anymore). This is ultimately why search ads are the king of malware, and email is kinda secondary.

There are other more clear links between bad privacy and your security. Consider the concept of opsec. Generally celebrities avoid people knowing where they're going day to day.
This started with Google, but we had years and years of stories just like this about PayPal too. We need regulation to prevent companies from throwing all user-account-related decisions to a neural network, and then not providing a way to dispute its output. YouTube and the copyright cartel is another good example. It's ridiculous to have to say this, but this is what you get when you no longer have a democracy (or representative republic) and, instead, have a full-fledged corporatocracy/oligarchy enabled by the Citizens United decision. Companies must be forced to staff up to handle the issues that their technology causes. Twitter and its moderation/banning/cancelation-of-accounts comes to mind as well. You can tell me that they have 10's of thousands of people working in this area, but it's clearly not enough. I'm sorry, but FAANG companies all LOVE to brag about how much money they make for their owners. They should be forced to spend some more of it on making sure they address flagrant mistakes in their automation systems.

Aaaaalllllllll of that aside, MOST of the time, with these kinds of stories, there's usually more to it than is being said.
This comment makes no sense. Sweet on top of sweet on top of sweet? The fuck are you talking about? Nobody is doing that. The base is savory and only the pineapple on top is sweet. It's also usually paired with ham, another savory item.

Sweet and savory are a pleasant food combination for many (though not all) but I can understand why some don't like pineapple as a topping - it's a really strong flavor and it changes the texture of the pizza.

People who have never had it sometimes complain about the concept. Some of those people simply can't stand sweet+savory foods, my husband is one of them, he hates ALL sweet in savory foods. Since this is a very consistent trait in him, I don't knock him for finding the concept off-putting. Same way I won't try peanut butter+anything else sandwich, because I absolutely can't stand the texture of peanut butter on bread.

I love it though, it's my go-to.
We are talking about performance bonuses, a trick to avoid permanent raises.
> One thing that's really annoying these days are CI/CD that can't be replicated locally

pre-commit just runs your linter, formatter and tests. Surely you can fully replicate this step locally. Just run make lint both locally and on CI.

Anything else that's hard to replicate has to do with the distributed systems that you are probably working on because these systems are all probably proprietary stuff that live on the cloud.

> Although I'd indeed prefer just before push, or just make display warnings

Wholehearted agree. This is a compromise I can live with.
I could say the same about CSS though. Eventually, many developers end up working with CSS some way or another. But I still wouldn't consider flexbox a CS fundamental
It's probably lower. Just like the previous quarter GDP was revised lower.
Documentation can be faked, and 120 days wasn't picked randomly; customers have that long to dispute charges.
Not just Go users. Nearly all products be it desktop GUI applications that self-update or backend servers I've ever developed are like this. Saves me a lot on deployments.
> What's the OP/your alternative?

Reach out to local credit unions or even smallish bank. They usually are middleman to firstdata, chase paymentech etc. But you get a dedicated account rep at cost of nominal monthly fee. Rates usually are competitive often lower than what stripe and paypal offers.
