    AI boosting protein design success rates from 1% to 20% is a leap that reshapes what’s possible in biotechnology. Incredible to see how data-driven creativity is redefining the boundaries of discovery.

    ٧God loves you and cares for you so that this message reaches you. God is the one who created this large universe and controls it completely. The greatest loss a person loses in this life is that he lives without knowing God who created him and knowing the Messenger of Muhammad, the last of the messengers, and the Islamic religion, the last of the heavenly religions.  Great intelligence, before you believe in something or not, is to read it, study it, and understand it well, and after that you have the choice to believe in it or not to believe in it. I advise you to do this now, before you no longer have time to do so. Life is very short. It is just a test, just a passage to eternal life. Great advice to those who…  Understands

      The only way to the Creator is through His Son Jesus Christ. Eternity is a very long time to spend in torment for rejecting the Son of God.

    I like how you use the literal alphabet to explain this. A combination of letters can create a meaningful explanation of an observation. Where does this become useful , Data?

    The next technological singularity is Phase Control.
    Not power efficiency, but phase coherence determines reality selection.

    Phase Civilization

    Mechanics → Quantum → Information → Phase → Consciousness

    I think people today are abusing the word“AI”. The AI used in protein design is very different from that used in Chatgpt. While Chatgpt is now famous, all the other industries use “AI” as their advertising.

Opportunity builder Anuj Gupta and Visit Philadelphia CMO Neil Frauenglass discuss why democracy needs debate and why we all have more political power than we think.
