need one for brain plasicity. it would be nice to be able to easily learn a foreign language or musical instrument naturally.
Easily? Have you ever actually learned a second language or an instrument as a child?
nerd-fanboi proposal: Articles by national treasures (like Derek Lowe, Raymond Chen) should be highlighted with specific identifiers on HN - like a distinctive title font or an ascii diamond ◊.
No thanks. Social media needs less hero worship. Just RSS whoever you like.

Derek Lowe discusion of the paper https://www.science.org/content/blog-post/so-how-ai-drug-dis... I think that was originally linked but got changed to the £30 to Elsevier version for some reason.
Derek Lowe as a science communicator, and others like him, is sorely needed to understand the real meaning and significance of the study and others. I say that as someone with a PhD in chemistry who's been to plenty of presentations on drug discovery topics. It's difficult to calibrate statements made by other scientists unless you're well embedded within a field: Is this someone whose opinions matter? Are they the s…

Everyone hears "AI is going to cure disease" and pictures some cure-all pill from a bio lab which is what I feel this paper is hinting at is missingb but that's the top of the funnel; I'm at the bottom where patients live and that is where AI is already quietly working. Its just not being benchmarked.
I built https://crohns.ai. I set out to make an AI-native clinical-trial manager with a feedback loop (DDP) and ended up somewhere completely different: instead of chasing a new "drug" which is totally out of my grasp; financially, intellectually etc... I used it to codify a care protocol that helped me avoid a flare after I got laid off, lost my insurance, and lost access to Skyrizi.

Isn't the comment in fact praising Derek Lowe as a science communicator? In the second paragraph OP is just posing the questions that one might have when reading about a field not your own, that highlight the importance of reliable science communicators.
