    Alphafold is very far from 'solving protein folding'. It's merely better than the shitshow that existed before, but many much simpler, fully end-to-end models exist that perform much better than alphafold already, and beside this, it's insanely far from 'solved' (the reason I mention the simpler models is that it shows the problem was the use of DL at all, not alphafold itself -- the sota was so ass that a random forest would have improved it).

        Yes, but not really. In the first place, that's not how folding works at all anyway. For example, proteins don't actually fold into a specific 3d structure, but rather wiggle around constantly, at different rates depending on the substructure. It is far more accurate to represent a protein folding as an ensemble of solutions, not a single solution. "Folding" really means "solving the one configuration that was elucidated by crystalography/NMR in this specific preparation context". In addition, you can't talk about 'accuracy' in this context, what is produced is the position of Calpha atoms, and the measure is the angstrom distance between the ground truth and prediction (e.g. in pic related, root mean square error thereof). As you can see, alphafold is about "3x better" than other methods, but that doesn't mean much without a reference frame, and once again only applies to a very structurally specific subset of structures and sequences (because there are plenty of proteins we can't crystalize at all for instance). Specifically, in context, you really want an error rate of 0.3 or lower RMSD, so alphafold is far too poor yet to consider the problem 'solved' even in this very limited subset.

            Except for the blog not emphasizing the caveats much (i.e. the author is on the "very optimistic" camp, I'm always more on the skeptical side), it's pretty accurate. The author also outlines the same kinds of caveats I listed, for example, despite quickly moving on to hopeful stuff.
            What I would like to add is that, exactly as the opening of the article points out, it is the "protein folding people" that declare this solved, but the chemistry people (he didn't name them specifically, but implied it, and in my experience that's accurate) that say it's far from solved.
            Regarding
            >the science of protein folding is solved and the rest is just engineering?
            I both agree and disagree.
            I greatly disagree with the notion that the *science* of protein folding is solved, because this is still just using a statistical black box based on pattern matching, it tells us nothing about how proteins fold at all. In addition, the caveats haven't been addressed at all.
            However, I do agree that engineering is all we need from there to get <0.2A accuracy on C_alpha atom positions in the static structure case, and that AF2, modern/simpler models that do the same thing, and such are already incredibly useful for many tasks.

            I don't now enough to pronounce myself on this but I will say the following:
            With the ensemble view, it is possible to find the solution set. The problem is how to model it, and how to observe it, as well as how to select a solution from the ensemble post-hoc after knowing the conditions of capture (the last step being required to actually verify the predictions).
            A good article on the topic of solution ensembles and why they matter includes:
            https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.1411798111
            This article also references papers explaining this ensemble view in more details for anyone who wants to dig into this.

        I remember it was doing perfect stalker micro while looking at the whole map at one point and fricking everyone up, but the meatbags complained about it being unfair.

        Now, what exactly is fair is debatable, but looking at the whole map and having uncapped apm probably isnt.

        • 1 year ago
          Anonymous

          I think that's ridiculous. No one is capping the Go/Chess bots for being "unfair", what makes Starcraft so different?

          • 1 year ago
            Anonymous

            The difference is that go and chess are turn-based. Imagine if the chess bot could move its pieces anytime it wanted, regardless of whose turn it is. That's what the starcraft bot is basically doing. Also, in starcraft, you don't normally see the map, there's a fog of war and you have to explore to locate your enemy at all, and then keep scouting to figure out what the enemy is doing and how to counter that (the info is not automatically updated just because you reached some point on the map once, you have to keep a unit within vision range to have visual updates).
            The AI bypassed all that, seeing the whole map at all time, and also having unlimited action control (so it can bypass all tactic by just abusing animation delays in the enemy units because it can click a billion times a second).

              I see. that does sound broken, the AI should only be provided the same information as a human player. but the whole action control seems debatable to me - I mean, you are already competing against a non-human, limiting its action speed just seems like kidding ourselves.

                It's because starcraft is not an action game, it's a tactics and strategy game. A player cannot simultaneously manage build queues and juggling individual units to mess with animations, it's basically one or the other (a limited version is possible though). This is important for game-play purposes, because it means the player has to make the tactical decision between attending one task or the other. Logically, the same should be true of the AI for it to be fair (see analogy with AI playing chesspieces at any time). Limiting the AI to, say, 200 apm would be reasonable and force the AI to actually place the 200 apms tactically as well instead of having free reign.

                They limited the AI to basically 1/4 of the apm of a starcraft pro and they still were shitting their pants saying "the AI uses clicks perfectly meanwhile asiaticclicking is about clicking many times in useless spaces!" so the team just dropped the project

                Without that limitation the original AIs made twenty years ago would have easily beaten the best players, using strategies like what this anon said:

                cant it just micro two zerglings frame perfectly and win on 6-pool?

                It's like making a bot in an FPS game, you don't need neural networks, it's faster than people are so you can beat people with regular programming, it can headshot people before they notice there is an enemy on screen, again with no neural networks involved.

                its cope but its also boring and doesnt solve any interesting problems if the difference is just "be able to constantly perceive and react to new information at 1/10000th of a second for 20 minutes straight"

              I don't think it was actually seeing past fog of war, that shouldn't be possible or it would be trivial for hackers to exploit.

              It was just looking at the entire map at once, fog of war and all, which meant that it could have its attention on all units at once without having to move its screen like normal players have to.

        They moved to other projects like Alphafold. Kind of disappointing that they were unable to truly conquer Starcraft, but their goal wasn't to focus solely on making good videogame AI so it makes sense. I hope someone in the future works more on this though, some games (like the entire strategy game genre) could benefit from having decent AI.

        What would you like me to clarify?

    Not really.
    If you ever study the problem, you'll see the tree of posible games of chess is limited. It was just a matter of time. (Moore's law.). Go is more complex, but still limited.

    >art
    depends on your definition of art. I do think it is doing "art", but is nothing new. A kid doodling is making art, caveman did art, and applying a filter to modify colors is a computer doing art IMO.

    Anyway the issue is not what can or can't do. but Who owns it.
