This week I want to look at where we are with psychedelics, the mind-altering substances that have somehow made the leap from counterculture to major focus of clinical research. Compounds like…
In a perfect world, all the software we use at work would be part of the same unified ecosystem. But—surprise!—this isn't a perfect world, and that means some of us (myself included) have to use…
One morning in May 2019, a cardiac surgeon stepped into the operating room at Boston Children’s Hospital more prepared than ever before to perform a high-risk procedure to rebuild a child’s heart. The…
Remember when it was fun to play around with LLMs?
This week, over 30,000 people are descending upon San Jose, Calif., to attend Nvidia GTC, the so-called Superbowl of AI—a nickname that may or may not have been coined by Nvidia. At the main event…
Move over, Pixar. The ants that animators once morphed into googly-eyed caricatures in films such as A Bug’s Life and Antz just received a meticulously precise anatomical reboot. Writing today in…
In the time it takes you to read this sentence, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will have smashed billions of particles together. In all likelihood, it will have found exactly what it found yesterday:…
Data centers for AI are turning the world of power generation on its head. There isn’t enough power capacity on the grid to even come close to how much energy is needed for the number being built. And…
More money has been invested in AI than it took to land on the moon. Spending on the technology this year is projected to reach up to US $700 billion, almost double last year’s spending. Part of the…
An encoder (optical system) maps objects to noiseless images, which noise corrupts into measurements. Our information estimator uses only these noisy measurements and a noise model to quantify how…
In this post, I’ll introduce a reinforcement learning (RL) algorithm based on an “alternative” paradigm: divide and conquer. Unlike traditional methods, this algorithm is not based on temporal…
PLAID is a multimodal generative model that simultaneously generates protein 1D sequence and 3D structure, by learning the latent space of protein folding models. The awarding of the 2024 Nobel Prize…
