Look at the background of those researchers: Demis was cogsci phd (and he is a general intelligence that can work on a wide range of scientific problems) and John Jumper has a masters and phd in chemistry. Their advisors and coauthors included some of the best-known ML people who worked on protein structure prediction previously. Personally I think they should have got the biology one, but they weren't unqualified scientifically speaking.
Huh this kind of resonates with me. In high school I used to be chronically tired and would sleep any chance I got. Doctor really didn't know what to do with it. As a student I have little time constraints and my sleep schedule just drifts all over the place, I woke up at 4am today.
I think 'directly' is doing a lot of work in OP's comment. I agree, this is never going to make sales that pay for the engineering effort involved in this machine, but keeping Tesla in the news, having this amazing POC, and the lessons learned that might apply to other parts of Musk's enterprises (SpaceX particularly) are not worth zero.
Plus, whatever you think of Musk, this is really fucking cool.
I don’t think much of Musk since the Nazi salutes, but why is this really cool?
It’s taking work done for rockets which are cool IMO (the control systems and software will all be from those) and sticking it on a car to make a circus act out of it.
I do have a problem with the fake spectacle of it and don’t think it’s cool in any way.
Yeah and if you do a kickflip over traffic your drinks will fall out of your cupholder. If that's your standard for cool I don't know what to tell you.
In my limited experience with OCaml, Opus has problems using the paradigm correctly. For instance it sometimes avoids recursion when it obviously fits.
There's also methods of starting Rack applications directly form nginx via passenger[1]. Rack is the CGI like interface for ruby webapps: https://github.com/rack/rack
It easily allows for writing applications and middleware with a few lines of ruby.
Essentially I wanted fgciwrap to be able to accept arbitrary response bodies without headers, so I could use it with programs that weren't actually made for cgi. Lighttpd supports this but apparently that's an happy accident.
You can write a ngninx module.
That would be the actual 2026 way to write C web apps.
Used to be a huge pain, but now AI can just read the nginx source and do it correctly.
