War: AI can find folding of every known protein, important to make new viruses http://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/25936/war-ai-can-find-folding-of-every-known-protein-important-to-make-new-viruses Sat, 24 Jul 2021 16:15:24 +0000 Vitaliy_Kiselev 25936@/talks/discussions image

Back in December 2020, DeepMind solved a 50-year grand challenge with AlphaFold, an AI tool that predicts the structure of proteins. Last week the London-based company published full details of that tool and released its source code.

Now the firm has announced that it has used its AI to predict the shapes of nearly every protein in the human body, as well as the shapes of hundreds of thousands of other proteins found in 20 of the most widely studied organisms, including yeast, fruit flies, and mice. The breakthrough could allow biologists from around the world to understand diseases better and develop new drugs.

Now the trove consists of 350,000 newly predicted protein structures. DeepMind says it will predict and release the structures for more than 100 million more in the next few months—more or less all proteins known to science.

War: Marketplaces trade war in Ukraine http://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/25931/war-marketplaces-trade-war-in-ukraine Fri, 23 Jul 2021 20:16:56 +0000 Vitaliy_Kiselev 25931@/talks/discussions

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy put into effect the decision of the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC), according to which economic sanctions are introduced against a number of companies, including Wildberries (Ukrainian, Russian, Polish, Armenian, Belarusian, Kyrgyz, Kazakh divisions),

Sanctions against Wildberries involve blocking assets, a complete ban on the transit of resources through the territory of Ukraine, preventing the withdrawal of capital from the territory of Ukraine, suspension of the fulfillment of economic and financial obligations, termination of the provision of telecommunications services, a ban on the transfer of technology and intellectual property rights.

Personal sanctions were introduced, including against the owner of Wildberries, Tatyana Bakalchuk and her husband Vladislav Bakalchuk. Bakalchuk is the richest woman in Russia according to the Forbes rating, her fortune is estimated at $ 13.1 billion.

Wildberries is presently largest online marketplace on xUSSR space.

Rumors are that Amazon US is standing behind all latest sanctions against Russian marketplaces as they do not want to give up Ukraine market and presently they are hardly competitive in the country, so can't use normal economic measures.

China: Loongson CPUs are made for consumer and match AMD Ryzen 1500x performance http://personal-view.com/talks/discussion/25929/china-loongson-cpus-are-made-for-consumer-and-match-amd-ryzen-1500x-performance Fri, 23 Jul 2021 15:43:08 +0000 Vitaliy_Kiselev 25929@/talks/discussions image

The Chinese company Loongson has formally introduced the 3A5000 / LS3A5000 processor, built on its own proprietary LoongArch architecture. The product is intended for use in personal computers for the consumer market.

The chip provides 50% better performance over the previous generation LS3A4000 solution. At the same time, energy consumption has decreased by about 30%.

The 3A5000 / LS3A5000 processor contains four processing cores operating at 2.3-2.5 GHz. Each core combines four arithmetic logic units (ALU) and two 256-bit blocks to handle vector operations. LoongArch GS464V instruction set used.

The processor provides approximately the same level of performance as the first generation AMD Ryzen processors. In order to reduce power consumption, the means of dynamic control of frequency and voltage have been implemented. In addition, the product is able to dynamically disconnect unused blocks.

The new chip contains two DDR4-3200 memory controllers with ECC support and four HyperTransport 3.0 controllers. In addition, support for Chinese encryption standards SM2, SM3 and SM4 has been implemented.
