AlphaFold2 solved C.A.S.P - the protein folding problem contest

 https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/30/technology/deepmind-ai-protein-folding.html

Remember Fold@home, it use shared computer resource (like P2P torrent) to form a super computer (distributed computing).

Protein folded at a fraction of nanosecond... Understanding it, predicting it, and know how protein are formed like some protein in human immune system, virus like HIV, genetic caused Alzheimer diseases ...

So this break through seem a big one and the consequence of it is really hard to imagine.

“We could start screening every compound that is licensed for use in humans,” Dr. Lupas said. “We could face the next pandemic with the drugs we already have.”

Kidneys organ, structure and its operation of chemical filter, dissolve etc. seem very complex at atom or compound level, like protein folding problem. So design an artificial kidneys seem hyper challenging. If AI and deep learning (or something like this) could create a working kidneys, that would be wonderful. Unlike a heart that may be simple mechanic and some electronic pulse. Kidneys are combined of many chemical, protein level of shape, micro structure etc to filer and clean blood.

Un'Estate Italiana Gianna Nannini, Edoardo Bennato

 Forse non sarà una canzone A cambiare le regole del gioco Ma voglio viverla cosi quest'avventura Senza frontiere e con il cuore in gola E il mondo in una giostra di colori E il vento accarezza le bandiere Arriva un brivido e ti trascina via E sciogli in un abbraccio la follia Notti magiche Inseguendo un goal Sotto il cielo Di un'estate italiana E negli occhi tuoi Voglia di vincere Un'estate Un'avventura in più Quel sogno che comincia da bambino E che ti porta sempre più lontano Non è una favola, e dagli spogliatoi Escono i ragazzi e siamo noi Notti magiche Inseguendo un goal Sotto il cielo Di un'estate italiana E negli occhi tuoi Voglia di vincere Un'estate Un'avventura in più Notti magiche Inseguendo un goal Sotto il cielo Di un'estate italiana, na na na na E negli occhi tuoi Voglia di vincere Un'estate Un'avventura in più Un'avventura Un'avventura in più Un'avventura, goal

Day of being wild 2

Đầu năm 2007, câu thoại của Trương Quốc Vinh " Tôi đã nghe về một loài chim không chân… Loài chim không chân cứ bay mãi, bay mãi trên bầu trời, và tựa vào cơn gió mỗi khi thấm mệt. Loài chim ấy chỉ đáp xuống một lần trong đời nó… Đó là khi chết đi " đã được bình chọn là lời thoại hay nhất trong lịch sử điện ảnh Trung Quốc. I used to think there were some kind of bird. That flew and flew, never touching down until it death. But that's bird never actually flew anywhere. because it was death from very beginning. Bài hát chủ đề: 何去何從之阿飛正傳 / "Choice" - Trương Quốc Vinh. Bài hát này có thể tìm thấy trong album "Beloved" (1996) của anh. 是這樣的 - Mai Diễm Phương - Bản tiếng Quảng Đông của bài hát chủ đề. Los Indios Tabajaras - Always in My Heart Los Indios Tabajaras - Maria Elena Xavier Cugat - El Cumbanchero Xavier Cugat - Jungle Drums (Orchestral) Xavier Cugat - My Shawl Xavier Cugat - Papa Loves Mambo Xavier Cugat - Perfidia Xav...

Year 20000

 https://www.quora.com/The-year-is-20000-Mars-now-has-a-billion-people-What-s-next To tell the truth, there is no answer to this question. What is the backstory? What is the current situation? What influences or pressures are there on Mars? In the rest of the Solar System? Perhaps the outside universe? In fact, given the year is 20,000 AD, are there any actual humans left? The distance between then and now is about 4X that of all recorded human history, and nearly as long as the time since the “Cognitive” revolution seems to have taken place (anatomically human people have been found in the fossil record as far back as 100,000 years, but the sort of creativity and inventiveness that makes us human only appeared about 20,000 years ago). Any sentient creatures alive at that point may well be post human, or even AI’s. In the spirit of answering, however, I’ll offer this: In the year 20,000, the Solar System is filled with billions of orbiting objects creating a Dyson Swarm. Actually t...
