Creating plastic-eating enzymes that could save us from pollution

Creating plastic-eating enzymes that could save us from pollution

Researchers are on a quest to develop enzymes that can break down plastics so they can be 100% recycledThe world produces about 400 million tonnes of plastic waste each year. Much of it ends up in landfills, and a significant portion is polluting the world’s oceans. Yet even when plastic is recycled, the process degrades the material, limiting its future recyclability. While we can attempt to reduce our dependence on plastic, industries like food and medicine can’t simply replace it. So scientists John McGeehan, Rosie Graham, and their colleagues at the Centre for Enzyme Innovation at the University of Portsmouth,…

Hey all, I just returned from a writing hiatus to spend time with my family. I hope you enjoy my most researched piece to date about the potential of personal AI devices. Note that I have invested in many of the companies discussed below, which I disclose at the end of the post.I made a point to learn about the hardware aspects of AI this year. Historically, I've focused on the software side, but I realized that hardware is the major constraint for generative AI today. Currently, there are not enough servers in data centers to train the next frontier…

Easily analyze real-time financial data like a pro | Deephaven

For those of you who haven't been following my blog series, I am an intern at Deephaven, working on a project to learn Deephaven's software. I've now reached my goal of analyzing data in real time. In my last post, I used Deephaven to complete an analysis of MicroStrategy's $205 million Bitcoin-backed loan. While the prediction was good, the data I used was static and couldn't update as the trading day progresses.To level up my analysis, I used Deephaven's powerful Interactive Brokers plugin to access and analyze real-time financial data in the Deephaven framework I've become comfortable with.

Resolving the “Length of LOB Data (78862) to be Replicated Exceeds Configured Maximum 65536” Error

Resolving the “Length of LOB Data (78862) to be Replicated Exceeds Configured Maximum 65536” Error

Understanding the Error The error indicates that the LOB data size (78862 bytes) exceeds the configured maximum limit (65536 bytes) set for replication in SQL Server. This typically happens during the replication process, leading to the failure of data transfer. Common Causes Default Configuration Limits: SQL Server has default settings for the maximum size of LOB data that can be replicated. Large Data Inserts: Inserting large multimedia files or extensive text data can exceed the default LOB size limit. Inadequate Configuration Settings: The database settings might not be optimized for handling large LOB data, resulting in replication issues. Solutions to Resolve…

Advancing discovery of better drugs and medicine

With the help of AlphaFold, researchers are designing more effective drugs like never beforeKaren Akinsanya is President of R&D, Therapeutics, at Schrödinger in New York City. She shares her AlphaFold story.What has always captivated me is the idea that you can go from the bench to the bedside.I have worked in academia and in drug discovery and development. This means I’ve not only studied proteins and genes and understand how to make a therapeutic molecule against a disease-causing target, but I’ve also been at the bedside of a patient as they receive that new medicine.But the real question is, how…
