I am so pissed off that the press have completely ignored this crowdfunder. When we were trying to buy the land they were slathering all over posting about it, but when the government fucked us over and pulled their ~£0.5mn contribution, we’re just blanked now. www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/warleigh-n...

This sounds trivial, but often it is not - what is the "objective function" in comparison to the truth (and of course, what is a true representation of what is going on). "Benchmarking" and "competitions" somehow sounds as if you the referee not the player, but actually you are the game designer.

Flying back to London after an unreal experience celebrating the Chemistry Nobel win with John and Demis and the rest of the AlphaFold team, family and colleagues. Congratulations all round!

It was also really nice to meet again and spend time with David Baker and the expansive Rosetta community, along with the other laureates. Stockholm sure knows how to put on a party!

AI for science could be more impactful than chatbots. It is already helping win Nobel prizes and accelerating drug development and materials discovery. Today we published an essay about it: why it matters, how it’s happening and its implications. Here is a summary from an econ / social sci lens.
