Some who take #bisphosphonates for #osteoporosis etc. were found to be protected against #covid. We now have a #molecularmodel to explain this. Thanks to my #BITSPilani collaboration. doi.org/10.1016/j.jm... & tinyurl.com/S27374165235... @sciencedirect.bsky.social @harvardchanschool.bsky.social

Two molecular modelling papers provide fundamental explanation to a recent Harvard observational study.

Just used @sky-follower-bridge.dev to re-follow 600+ users from my old Twitter network. Cool to see how much of the Twitter network (25%?) is moving on over here!

Last week, I stayed at a large hotel in Toronto that once employed 35 people to operate its internal telephones. Now all those jobs are gone. Hard even to explain to a young person what they did. Yet life is still better than it was in 1931. Automation is progress.

Since multiple people asked, @samarchdb.bsky.social's research doesn't really work well on Postgres because it has one of the worst query optimizers we've tested (sorry it's true). It cannot decorrelate subqueries needed to inline UDFs. See Sam's CIDR 2024 paper: db.cs.cmu.edu/papers/2024/...

Dear User-Defined Functions, Inlining isn't working out so great for us. Let's try batching to make our relationship work. Sincerely, SQL

Every academic right now

A version of the kermit vs darth kermit meme where good kermit tells the online academic that they should grade, while darth kermit tells them they should eat more pie.

THREAD: How Did Agriculture Begin? Archaeologists, anthropologists, and economists have for years debated how and why agriculture began. After hundreds of thousands of years spent as hunter-gatherers, humans suddenly invented agriculture seven times independently across the globe. Why then? 1/
