The administration continues its campaign to degrade the health of Americans. Very much in keeping with the fact that life expectancy is lower in red states than blue states. sandiegouniontribune.com/202…

They’re literally shouting it out loud! Their plan to overturn the constitution and democracy. They’re not hiding it. They’re bragging about it. And the media are just ignoring it, or worse normalizing it; the biggest story perhaps in modern American history. Kill. Me. Now.
Steve Bannon: “Well he’s gonna get a third term. Trump is gonna be president in ‘28 and people ought to just get accommodated with that. At the appropriate time we’ll lay out what the plan is, but there’s a plan and President Trump will be the president in ‘28.”

#GenAI for drug discovery often use docking which is inaccurate. Molecular dynamics are more accurate but too expensive. Our #ICML2025 paper explores ``Multi-Fidelity Latent Space Active Learning''. Paper: arxiv.org/pdf/2410.11226 Code: github.com/Rose-STL-Lab/MF-L… (1/3)

Thanks, David! That means a lot to us, and I hope others also find it interesting.
I really like this preprint on thermodynamics of water in binding sites (specifically host-guest binding); it's super insightful and clarifies a lot of things for me. From Jeff Setiadi, Mike Gilson and others. dx.doi.org/10.26434/chemrxiv… #compchem

Time to let the Ukrainians hit what they need to hit, wherever it is located. Yet another massive attack on civilian infrastructure is further proof that Russia has no interest in ending this war or negotiating peace
Russia targeted the dam of the Kyiv Sea north of the capital, with one missile striking it. If the dam breaks, millions of people downstream can die.

If we really want trustworthy force fields, shouldn't we use impartial charges instead of partial charges?

So it’s official: until something changes in the future, accounting-wise the US is the most hostile place to start a software startup/small business. The only country in the world where developers’ salary cannot be expensed the same year: but needs to be amortised over 5 years.
The tax bill is dead. No retroactive 174 fix will happen. Keep lobbying so it whoever controls Congress after the election has it front of mind in the big tax rewrite of 2025.
