What’s new: Google DeepMind has released an improved version of its biology prediction tool, AlphaFold, that can predict the structures not only of proteins but of nearly all the elements of biological life.How they did it: AlphaFold 3’s larger library of molecules and higher level of complexity required improvements to the underlying model architecture. So DeepMind turned to diffusion techniques, which have been steadily improving in recent years and power image and video generators. It works by training a model to start with a noisy image and then reduce that noise bit by bit until an accurate prediction emerges—a method…

The first draft of the new net neutrality rules left a loophole for ISPs and wireless carriers The FCC released the Final Draft of its net neutrality rules on May 7th The first draft would have allowed ISPs to provide “fast lanes” for certain applications as long as the application provider wouldn’t have to pay for the special treatment that would provide them with a faster internet stream. Instead, consumers would be expected to pay for the faster streams. The initial draft didn’t address such scenarios and only explicitly blocked ISPs from slowing down applications. ISPs could have taken advantage…

And now, Google seems to have a new feature in the works that will display the name of the person messaging you in the text notification.When exploring the latest beta version of Google Messages, Android Authority stumbled upon a…

Google added a “Notes” feature to Search a while back as part of Labs that allowed you to leave yourself little reactions or thoughts about websites and articles, almost like digital sticky notes. That feature appears to be getting some upgrades that could be turning Notes into a full-fledged conversation starter.The folks over at Android Authority (namely Android code expert, Assemble Debug) uncovered a hidden “Comments” setting buried within Notes. The setting isn’t active, so you won’t see it on your end. That said, they found a pretty obvious “Comments coming soon” notice tucked away as well, that pretty much solidifies…
