How much data would it take to describe human biology ?
A very crude description of molecular abundance requires 1,000× more bites than all digital data humanity stores.
We need more than scale to close the gap.

@yacineMTB Tried opus 4.7 and 4.8 to design chips for a total of ~30 hours. Terrible unsupervised work, mediocre with manual review and human feedback. Gonna test qwen once open
Edible peptides became a billion-dollar opportunity.
How pharma engineers them to survive your stomach, why a quarter of users quit within a year, and why the answer might be "algae" or "chocolate." https://t.co/vhSjW5DqaR
AI protein design is rapidly progressing 🚀
This study benchmarks de novo nanobody design by leading models, such as AlphaFold3, Boltz-2, and Chai-1. The study tested 106 true complexes and over 11,000 shuffled mismatches.
Key result:
High confidence scores often reflect structural plausibility but not binding specificity. In other words: the model thinks the fold "looks right," even if the two proteins would never bind in a wet lab. The title of the study sums up the results well:
Structural Plausibility Without Binding Specificity: Limits of AI-Based Antibody-Antigen Structure Prediction Confidence Scores
Conclusion:
Internal AI scores are not yet calibrated to distinguish true binders from decoys. Experimental validation remains essential.
Good time to re-read my post on the MEK—a Marxist Islamist cult once designated a terrorist organization by the United States.
They also operate under names like NCRI and other dubious fronts. Many Members of Congress (some unknowingly) support them.
Rudy Giuliani and Mike Pompeo tout them because they’re bought and paid.
An MEK takeover would be a worst-case scenario for the future of Iran.
Iran is not a “Muslim country”. Iran is nation under Islamic occupation which has massacred 40,000 Iranians of all faiths within days. Iran will be liberated from Islamist and jihadist oppression. If that “sickens” you, American voters should take note.
🇮🇷 New anti-regime protests have erupted across Iran, with demonstrators calling for the death of the Ayatollah and the return of the Shah.

@MDrndic How to:
1. Take solidstate nanopores with inherent differences in size & shape
2. Pass analytes through
3. Pick any ML classifier
4. Feed it nanopore events, accuracy too low
5. Pad event with a bit of baseline, accuracy goes up to >90%
6. Submit & assume reviewers are clueless
