If our standard is cool math, crypto is also full of cool math. (Have you read Vitalik's explanation of Quadratic Arithmetic Programs?) Our standard can't be that low. https://medium.com/@VitalikButerin/quadratic-arithmetic-programs-from-zero-to-hero-f6d558cea649. - Source: Hacker News / 3 days ago

Rather than aiming to reproduce the accuracy of the original paper, the goal was only to generate plausible looking 3D protein structures. This turned out to be harder than expected - you can find a more in depth write up at... - Source: Hacker News / 3 days ago
