At this point, the leading foundation models from each of the top labs tend to do well on the classic set of coding evals. Each new release brings smaller improvements over the las…

> I can't see what is what "the economy" has given to us in return. Reductions in extreme poverty, increases life expectancy, improved access to education and healthcare.

Data is useful! But it seems like (I am not an economist) the incentive structures around these offices are failing. Maybe the benefits need to be more immediate / obvious / viscer…

Interesting - I've heard this anecdotally. Curious if you know of any resources that look at this in more detail?

First of all - very cool that they were able to image this and work out the mechanical mechanism in such detail. Second - the rupture event looks so violent but iiuc it’s actually …

Hi HN! We're a small team of AI engineers who've spent the last few years building AI applications. Through this, we've experienced firsthand many of the challenges that come with …

Since boundaries can be very helpful: could many lower level theories ‘emerge’ to classical physics?

"the biggest problems in drug development are not really solved by having faster access to protein structures ... we have far bigger issues with target selection (does this idea of…

Who is your ideal user? Do you think this person frequents ProductHunt? That's your answer. My experience is that the main users of PH are those launching a product. I'll also add:…

It's hard but people do it! This is the field of "protein engineering".

Where there isn't an available crystal structure, Alphafold can be used to create initial structures for simulation via folding@home, replacing older homology modeling techniques. …
