If you are a Pulsechain KOL that would like to generate some extra cashflow to buy HEX or PLS dip, You should definitely try Partner System from XGame web3 gaming app. Some of the ones using it are starting to ramp up steadily.

Excellent new paper (with code) by my former colleagues Steven Kearnes and Patrick Riley describing a procedure for associating confidence levels with regression model predictions in drug discovery.
pubs.acs.org
We present a simple method for assigning accurate confidence levels to molecular property predictions from regression models. These confidence levels are easy to interpret and useful for making...

I'm not happy with the way this all went down. I have tremendous respect for Gabriele and the rest of the DiffDock authors. Their work has broken new ground and helped advance machine learning in drug discovery. If I had to do it over again, I'd do things differently.

Many of you have seen Gabriele Corso's response to our recent preprint. If you haven't, it's here.

You may have seen a recent pre-print [1] from Jain et al. with strongly worded claims against the experimental results in our DiffDock paper [2].

Well, @OpenAI just banned @ChatGPT from giving medical advice. @Doctronic is built different: peer-reviewed clinical validation, a network of licensed physicians across all 50 states, and partnerships that let us keep expanding. We're not pulling back. We're moving forward.

There’s a new Practical Cheminformatics blog post, “Silly Things Large Language Models Do With Molecules.” In this post, I explain why general-purpose LLMs aren’t appropriate for analog generation and suggest better alternatives.

Thanks to everyone who attended the AI in Drug Discovery Workshop at the RSC 7th Symposium on AI in Chemistry. We’ve made the materials (slides, Jupyter notebooks, resource list) from the three hour workshop available on GitHub. #AIChem24

Crypto has never reached mass adoption. Why is that? Endless complexity. High costs? Siloed chains? Scams & blockchains that mimic legacy systems? Satoshi gave us P2P cash. Others had a vision of a world computer. Can we have both & unite crypto? 1/14
