News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Hey HN, Derek here one of the co-founders of Muni.bio

With all the AI doom lately, I thought you guys might appreciate some uplifting news :)

We recently hosted a drug discovery hackathon where humans and agents designed 140 molecules targeting the Bundibugyo ebolavirus. We synthesized all 140 and tested them in the lab.

It's still early, but exciting to see agents go from generating hypotheses to producing real, measurable results in the lab.

Happy to answer any questions about the agents, experiments, or results.

Great video. Thanks!

"And they see more and more American consumers willing to spend $8 or $12 for a cup of joe, which would offset their high costs of production."

Good luck!

Re:Iran Complies with Nuclear Deal; Sanctions Are Lifted on Saturday January 16, 2016 @09:07PM (#10917957)
I would be skeptical to say if the sanctions worked.

Did it stop Iran from creating a nuclear program? No. Did it allow for a change in government? No.

Mainly the people who suffered most were the common people of Iran. The government in Iran took advantage of this situation to radicalize people against the US even more.

It would be nice to know the amount he is trying to recoup.
Quantium communication would be a far better alternative then to sending radio-waves through space.

I've been waiting for this since Tyler Bosmeny mentioned it during the startup lecture series. Thank you for sharing!
