Took the plunge and bought ourselves some decent storage for the home media server I set up over the holidays. Cannot recommend jellyfin.org enough. Specially if you have an old computer lying around it's an amazing value proposition. Ours is sitting under the stairs and is aptly named Harry.

BioEmu is now on @science.org ! The revised version includes an upgraded model and makes a lot of MD simulation data internally generated at MSR available to the public. This took a lot of firepower from us in the last two years. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

@msftresearch.bsky.social AI for science presents Orbformer, a foundation model for high accuracy quantum Chemistry. Strongly correlated states such as bond dissociation can be accurately computed without manually selecting active spaces or basis sets.

Jan Hermann@hrmnn.net · last yr.

🚀 Strong correlation is the Everest of quantum chemistry. Next to the coupled cluster highway, the multireference molecular terrain is underserved—gravel roads and promenades. With Orbformer, we're building a new infrastructure by marrying neural network wavefunctions with cost amortization at scale
