Ligand Docking with Rosetta – Mixing Docker and Mac

Summary: The complete, merged tutorial is on my tutorial page: Rosetta – Ligand Docking The Rosetta software suite includes algorithms for computational modeling and analysis of protein structures. I recently wrote a Blog elsewhere titled Rosetta Ligand Docking – Help with Docker as a first approach to helping a student run the published tutorial. The… Read More »

Classic Operating Systems That Run in Web Browser

Finding some old floppy disks I wondered how I could read them. Assuming that I have a floppy reader, how could I then open some of the old file formats? A quick search led me first to the “Mini vMac” site but this option only emulates very old Macs and has the complication that one… Read More »

Single-cell multi-omics using generative AI

Generative pre-trained models are becoming more common by the day, and such methods have now been applied to single cell sequencing, and multi-omits in general. Two main players are “scBERT” and “scGPT”: scGPT: Towards Building a Foundation Model for Single-Cell Multi-omics Using Generative AIHaotian Cui, Chloe Wang, Hassaan Maan, Bo Wang – Nature Methods doi: 10.1038/s41592-024-02201-0 CODE: https://github.com/bowang-lab/scGPT scBERT as a large-scale pretrained deep language… Read More »

How useful is a home-made quantum computer?

These 2 videos are quite cool (in spite of the vocal fry speech) and teach a lot about quantum computing and q-bits in ways that make sense to a non-physicist… Video 1: 25:38 min – I made a (useless) quantum computer at home Video 2: 33:15 min – What can my homemade quantum computer do?… Read More »

AI: Introduction to Large Language Models and their shortcomings

This video from November 22, 2023 provides a general introduction to Large Language Models (LLMs) suitable for general understanding. The video continues to examples, possible upcoming paradigms such as the view that LLMs have similarities with operating systems. The final part details potentials threats, including jailbreak examples. What’s wrong with LLMs and what we should… Read More »

YOUai.ai : mini-AI engines without coding

AI is at the forefront of Society changes. We are at the dawn of a new world. Let’s hope that it will NOT be a “Brave New World“. Today I discovered (through a LinkedIn post by the group “Generative AI” which has 1.3M followers.) This brand new AI is called “youai.ai” with mostly free “mini-AI”… Read More »

Generative AI in Jupyter lab

Yesterday I mentioned 2 options to add a generative AI to the command-line (AI chat models at the command line) one of which is useful (gorilla_cli) while the other is more informative on how to implement a Large Language Model (LLM) on a computer. Both are free options. Yesterday I also discovered this Blog: Generative… Read More »
