Schrödinger: The Biotech Firm Trying to Crack the AI Drug Discovery Code

Schrödinger, a biotech company using quantum mechanics to design new medicines and materials, boasts all top 20 pharmaceutical companies as clients. Despite this, five years post-IPO, its stock price languishes near all-time lows. This article explores Schrödinger's unique business model—part biotech, part software—and its struggles with valuation. A pivotal dinner between Nvidia's Jensen Huang and Schrödinger's CEO highlighted a crucial turning point: embracing AI more fully. While initially hesitant, Schrödinger now leverages AI's power, particularly AlphaFold's protein structure predictions, and is preparing for crucial clinical data releases in 2025. The company's future hinges on successfully navigating the complex interplay of software sales, biotech pipeline development, and clear investor communication.

Redis UNLINK vs DEL: A Deep Dive into Internal Mechanics

Redis UNLINK vs DEL: A Deep Dive into Internal Mechanics

Both Redis' UNLINK and DEL commands remove keys, but their internal implementations differ. DEL synchronously deletes keys and frees memory, while UNLINK asynchronously queues the deletion for background processing. UNLINK's 'non-blocking' nature isn't absolute; it calculates the cost of deleting an object: if the cost is less than 64, it deletes synchronously; otherwise, asynchronously. The article delves into the Redis source code, explaining the implementation details of UNLINK and DEL, including key slot calculation, two-phase unlinking, and asynchronous deletion, and discusses the role of LAZYFREE_THRESHOLD.

Getting LLMs to Generate Funny Memes: Surprisingly Hard

Getting LLMs to Generate Funny Memes: Surprisingly Hard

A University of Waterloo intern attempted to build an app using LLMs and the Greptile API to generate memes that roast GitHub repositories. The process proved unexpectedly challenging. Directly prompting the LLM for roasts yielded generic results. The solution involved separating the task into code analysis (using Greptile to pinpoint specific issues) and roast generation (using the LLM to create targeted humor). Image generation proved difficult due to limitations in handling text, leading to the use of pre-built meme templates and node-canvas for text insertion. Despite the hurdles, the project culminated in reporoast.com, a website capable of generating custom code-roasting memes.

Data Branching for Batch Job Systems: A Git-like Approach

2025-01-24

This blog post explores the application of Git-like branching strategies for managing data within batch job systems. The author proposes using the 'main' branch as the canonical production data version. Each job execution creates a new branch for processing and metadata recording; successful jobs merge back into 'main'. The post also covers branching strategies for test execution, experiments, and multi-step jobs, achieving efficient version control and experimental management, mirroring aspects of database transaction ACID properties.

Framework Fatigue: Why Developers Are Angry About New Tech

The constant stream of new JavaScript frameworks—from Svelte to Solid to Qwik—has left developers exhausted. Each promises blazing speed and improved performance, yet developers find themselves in a perpetual cycle of learning, consuming precious time and energy. This has sparked heated debates, with some arguing that new frameworks reinvent the wheel, while others express fears about job security and the obsolescence of existing skills. The article suggests that developer anger towards new frameworks is a self-defense mechanism stemming from anxieties about future career prospects. Understanding this perspective can foster healthier industry evolution.

Apple Secretly Enables AI Photo Analysis, Sparking Privacy Concerns

Apple Secretly Enables AI Photo Analysis, Sparking Privacy Concerns

Apple silently enabled a feature called "Enhanced Visual Search" in iOS 18.1 and macOS 15.1, which analyzes photos for landmarks without explicit user consent. While Apple claims to use homomorphic encryption and differential privacy to protect user privacy, the lack of transparency and opt-in choice has sparked concern. Developers criticize Apple's lack of explanation and user notification, arguing the approach is even more intrusive than its abandoned CSAM scanning plan. Although no evidence suggests Apple violated its privacy statements, the lack of communication is the core of user discontent.

Building a Simple Object System from Scratch in Ruby

2024-12-15

This blog post details building a basic object system in Ruby without using classes. The author cleverly uses anonymous functions and hash tables to implement core OOP concepts like method lookup, prototypal inheritance, mixins, and metaprogramming. Starting with a constructor function, the post demonstrates simulating private variables and public interfaces, effectively recreating class-like behavior and inheritance. Through clear code examples, readers learn to create objects, define methods, implement inheritance and mixins, and even build a rudimentary `attr_accessor`-like metaprogramming feature. It's a practical guide to understanding object system fundamentals.

Lossless Compression of Vector IDs Boosts Approximate Nearest Neighbor Search

Lossless Compression of Vector IDs Boosts Approximate Nearest Neighbor Search

Researchers introduce a lossless compression scheme for vector IDs to address the high storage cost of indexes in approximate nearest neighbor search. Leveraging the fact that the order of IDs is irrelevant in many index structures, and utilizing asymmetric numeral systems or wavelet trees, the method achieves up to 7x compression of vector IDs without impacting accuracy or search runtime. This translates to a 30% reduction in index size for billion-scale datasets. Furthermore, the approach can also losslessly compress quantized vector codes by exploiting sub-optimalities in the original quantization algorithm.
