I have no doubt you had a bad experience. There are a LOT of egotistical professors and grad studentss who don’t value others. Have you given industry a fair go yet though? You may find a job there more to your liking. The people are generally less arrogant than those in academia, and we view ourselves, rightfully so, as cogs in a big machine.

Did you see the announcement from Moderna today? That was the result of decades of us grunts chipping away the problem.

And lay off the immigrants. Jeez.

Once you move up to protein-protein interactions in living cells, post transcriptional modification, epigenetics, lipidomics, glycomics, and the the arrangement of said cells into the 3D tissue environment, and then into organs and complex biological organisms, all of which have a paucity of good training compared to what we possess in the protein folding domain, the problem becomes computationally intractable. We need to get in the lab.

You tech bros are entirely ignorant of these challenges and are making fools of yourselves.

The key point is these jackasses explicitly state, “ a handful of people” can replace “massive teams of scientists and engineers”.

These guys don’t even understand the nature of the challenge and neither do you apparently. If they did, they would realize that it indeed does require “massive teams of engineers and scientists” to solve our most pressing problems.

People don’t care if the building is gorgeous; they will still oppose it simply because they hate new homes in their neighborhood. If making the building beautiful significantly helped getting through zoning reviews, developers would have figured this out long ago.

Aside: the reasons new buildings are bland is because no two people agree on what is ‘beautiful’; second, delays due to zoning and endless regulations already make it difficult for a project to pencil even before spending much money on the facade.

To the contrary, the noise levels when writing are dramatically lower and I simply cannot imagine anyone becoming fatigued because of a paperlike protector.

I’m mainly interested in getting some DDR4/5 and RTX5090s on the cheap :).

Pricey, but the lip covers the edge. My current one is 4 years old and lasted a couple of generations of Macbooks.
