Hace unos días hablaba con un grupo de personas allegadas sobre si dejar Twitter o no. He estado a punto. Pero al final decidí quedarme precisamente por lo que dice Alfonso. Me niego a ceder… Por mucho que sepa que probablemente no sirva para nada.
@Yoriento (Alfonso Alcántara)@Yoriento

«Para que el mal triunfe solo se necesita que los buenos no hagan nada». Leo a más gente que dice que abandona Twitter porque ya no soporta los bulos. Que no vota porque «todos los políticos son iguales». Y así ganan los que quieren acabar con la democracia. Sigue, por favor.

Could the “guy who worked on Alphafold” saying “This paper sure saved our ass on that Nobel prize” come forward please? Maybe a citation would have been nice 😪.

CNNs (@ylecun, @Yoshua_Bengio) led to Spherical CNNs (@TacoCohen, @mario1geiger, @jonkhler, @wellingmax), and eventually to the SE(3) Transformer (@FabianFuchsML, @danielewworrall, Volker Fischer, @wellingmax). SE(3) is the special euclidean group, consisting of rigid translations and proper rotations in 3 dimensions—meaning it inherently respects the structure of euclidean space. An architecture with this property is indispensable for moving from fixed grids to freely moving cells. The power of Equivariant transformers can be seen through its use in AlphaFold, which outputs the 3D coordinates of all heavy atoms for a given protein using the primary amino acid sequence and aligned sequences of homologues as inputs (@GoogleDeepMind, John Jumper, @demishassabis) AlphaFold recently won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for its groundbreaking advance in protein structure prediction. The particular architecture I currently use is the Equiformer (@yilunliao, @tesssmidt), which builds on all of these ideas.

The failure of authorities to issue public warnings in time before the devastating floods in Valencia offer an example of what it means when far-right policies meet environmental disasters. One of Vox's conditions for backing the PP's Carlos Mazón as regional premier was the elimination of the Valencian Emergency Response Unit.

I can't stop thinking about this blog post where they replaced Redis with SQLite—and surprisingly, SQLite was faster! What's interesting is that Redis was running locally, SQLite was storing the data on disk. So it was memory (Redis) vs disk (SQLite), but Redis needed to communicate through IPC.

If you're looking for failure in AI-driven (or any) drug discovery, you'll easily find it. The hard work is properly benchmarking various approaches for relevant tasks and publicly reporting your findings fairly. Where is AI winning? science.org/content/blog-p…

WOW. @Microsoft just open-sourced the code for one of "THE MOST" influential Paper of 2024 🔥 1-bit LLMs (e.g., BitNet b1.58). Now you can run a 100B param models on local devices quantized with BitNet b1.58 on single CPU at 5-7 tokens/sec 🤯 The dream we have all been waiting for. 📊 Performance Improvements: - Achieves speedups of 1.37x to 5.07x on ARM CPUs - Larger models see greater performance gains - Reduces energy consumption by 55.4% to 70.0% on ARM - On x86 CPUs, speedups range from 2.37x to 6.17x

Llevo casi 50 plazas universitarias a las que me he presentado en los últimos años y, básicamente, 9 de cada 10 son así. Es de vergüenza como se gestionan estas plazas públicas y se nos expulsa del sector universitario a quienes no tenemos un padrino o departamento detrás.

@hokru_science Not trying to ashame anyone here. One thing is sharing code and polishing/improving it and then publishing. This approach is nice and you can benefit from early sharing from the community. But publishing a manuscript with such low quality of the code makes me unsure of results.

@br_jimenez Well it's one reason many don't publish their in house codes at all. Perhaps better it's published even if it's not in a state ready for the public 😅

Can we stop publishing software in science without testing it properly? Having a couple of examples and 2 notebooks in the repository is not testing. FGS, it hurts even more when the group is from a technical university.

@_inc0_ @NGSorcerer As there is no novelty in running triplets of your experiments at the wet lab, same applies for code. This is about reproducibility and repeatability. If you don't store your random seeds, how am I going to reproduce your results and trust your science?

@NGSorcerer @br_jimenez You could argue that academia is actively disincentivising the OS approach. There's no "novelty" in the thankless maintenance of the load bearing tool.

@hokru_science I'm sorry to disagree: I don't share the illusion of "at least it's published". The same way you run triplets in the wet lab, you test your code. Reproducibility is a must and a basic pillar in science. You teach yourself diffusion for 6 months, but not CS...

@br_jimenez And little incentive to spend time on code quality and testing for a student or postdoc

@amrojasmendoza Es de locos. Es increíble que se siga haciendo ciencia de nivel pese a todos los palos en las ruedas. Keep pushing! 🦾

Set and store your random seeds, use proper logging and not prints, don't write 400 LOCs nested on a while True. Don't write redundant functions for wrapping a single line call with the same function parameters. I stop here, I need a break. Follow me for more code review tips 😂

Make it be a Python package. Write docstrings, lint the code. Teach yourself some OOP, don't add binaries to the repos (WTF), don't "import *". Don't use all available resources (GPUs detected, all for me now)...

There is a new tool on BioIcons to turn any protein (in PDB format) into a 2D vector illustration in SVG format. You can upload any PDB file or import from PDB, AlphaFoldDB or ESMFoldDB. Feedback welcome :) bioicons.com/pdb2vector/
