This article is very poorly written. It conflates protein structure with RNA structure. Proteins are polymers of 20 types of amino acids with comparatively widely varied chemical properties and structures. RNA is a polymer of 4 types of nucleotides with very similar chemical properties and structures. Predicting the secondary structure (structure on a local scale) of RNA is essentially a solved problem on traditional computers and clever but human written algorithms up to several thousand nucleotides.

The novelty here is an iterative increase in complexity in what can be tackled by quantum computing.

I also have a V2.4 and it’s the most reliable printer I own. It’s the second printer I built and the third I’ve owned. And having built it from scratch, I know if anything breaks, I can fix it. I added an in-chamber carbon filter, a mod that let’s me probe the bed with the nozzle itself, and some custom designed magnetic attachments for the side panels. Oh and a kinematic bed mod – this let’s the bed expand with heat while keeping the center in the same spot.

It’s fantastic and I regularly print PLA, PETG, and ABS. I do like tinkering, but I will not touch this one because it’s such a reliable workhorse. The one last mod I would contemplate is a way to wipe the nozzle automatically.

My betting is he’ll relax tariffs on companies if they pay him.

It’s not super clear from the graph alone what’s going on here so Iwanted to add some context.

1960 is when Australia fluoridated their water supply. So the data show that no matter how old you were when it happened, it cut the number of decayed, filled, or missing teeth per person in half.

Wash your print surface with dish soap and water and dry with a paper towel or fresh towel. Avoid touching or contaminating the surface once clean and dry.

If that doesn’t work, get some magigoo

Water, oil, salt, flour is basically the recipe for crackers.

You need to add leavening and use lard or vegetable shortening.

Yeah, just having direct sales as a possibility would let them reach the demand everywhere it is, not just in the few markets to which they are sending these vehicles.

Kinda the whole amazon model, you can afford to stock all sorts of weird niche items because you can reach the handful of people that desperately want it.

This is crazy to me. About a year ago I was trying to buy an ev or plug in hybrid and just could not find any. None of the dealerships around me had any.

Sure wish we could abolish the whole middle man dealership model we’re legislated into and just order what we want directly.

I remember when I learned about this, I was working on an absurdly large project on my own. I was lost in all the details and losing hope of ever finishing. I was working on the backend API when I learned of this and took the time to implement the 418 response. It felt silly and brought the fun back to the project.
