Some exciting news: I'm joining the University of Lausanne @unil.bsky.social @dbc-unil.bsky.social as an Assistant Professor next month 🎉 My group will work on context-aware deep learning for protein structure, interaction & design. Postdoc and PhD openings coming soon - keep an eye out!

If you read closely, it is clear that @chess.com indeed was referring to the game tree complexity, and not the positions, since they say "possible chess games". I assume M*sk used and LLM to, which ofc is unable to get pragmatics.

Possibly @chess.com meant to refer to game tree complexity (~10^120) not just # legal positions (~10^44), compared to the number of estimated atoms in universe (~10^80). Btw, even though ~10^44 << ~10^80 it's mindbogglingly large. Cf. number of seconds that passed since the Big Bang: ~10^27. 💥🧵

“Using research as an opportunity for learning-by-doing may produce seeming ‘inefficiencies,’ but that’s a feature, not a bug…the process of education is necessarily a productive struggle, and that the most important product of their education is not a GPA or a diploma but themselves“

Major kudos to MIT, who just put out a report about AI on their campus that lucidly explains the threat posed by AI to cognition and the student experience, while at the same time prioritizes learning, students, and the value of education. 1/x aiandeducation.mit.edu/report/

Can SMILES be fragmented into a concatenable ordered sequence of retrosynthetically interesting string block ?

Molecules generated by deep learning models are often difficult to synthesize. Their synthetic accessibility can be improved with automated retrosynthetic analysis, which allows for identifying syntho...

As promised, we now share some details why it took 32 months to get this Matters Arising published, and, since many asked, share some comments on the reply to our critique. All details can be found in this small FAQ vincentholst.github.io/the_curious_.... Below is a summary 🧵

The Curious Case of the Declining Disruption’s Disappearance

vincentholst.bsky.social@vincentholst.bsky.social · 2mo ago

In 2023, @nature.com published 'Papers and patents are becoming less disruptive over time', receiving world-wide media attention. Our Matters Arising, published after a 32 month delay (more on that soon), shows that the reported decline can largely be attributed to dataset artefacts. 🧵

The average CD_5 index per year for Web of Science. The original Park et al. decline (top curve) becomes essentially flat (bottom curve) when removing papers with CD_5=1. Those papers largely correspond to dataset artefacts.
