Lost quantum chemist working in AI

Alles Gute zum Geburtstag! At least if my German is not horribly off.

Add another zero if it also does multi reference?

Beautiful, this asks for a "don't talk to me or my son ever again" meme.

I should buy that book. 🤔

Yes, this I absolutely agree with. The data isn't there to learn this. In a way this experiment is weird in that one usually tries to generalize from less to more atoms and not the other way round.

It has a more complicated PES in the equilibrium region, but I wouldn't call that less smooth, I think. A simple MLP of the internuclear distance would easily fit it in any case. The question is if that's the case for the MLIP models as well, though.

Cr2 is hard from the quantum chemistry perspective, but is it the same from a force field perspective? Sure there is this weird decay, but a function of R is a function of R.

I guess the issue here is that if you train on MD data, which I think is usually the case (?), one simply doesn't see these distances. Perhaps systematically exploring also high energy regions in the PES could alleviate this?

"Overgangsfase"? Dit was in the good old days sowieso veel normaler, met één app posten op alle sociale media.

Waarvoor dank.

Too dark? I don't know what the level of darkness tolerated on bluesky is yet.

It's also similar to children in the sense that it's hard to erase if you made a mistake.

Right, but NVIDIA essentially provides only a C++ API, so it still matters how well that was tied into the other language, no?
November 16, 2024 at 5:22 PM
From what I saw it's not great for GPU programming, am I correct in that?
November 16, 2024 at 5:13 PM
Okay, that's fine, but only if it's in a 6-31G* basis and not an orbital more.

I've tried to get this point across multiple times, but usually failed at the "but CCSD(T) has an underlying wave function" argument. If only I could have those arguments again!
November 16, 2024 at 4:45 PM
In this post-truth era we simply decide it to be correct. Repeat after me: CCSD(T) is the gold standard of quantum chemistry, CCSD(T) is the gold standard of quantum chemistry, CCSD(T) is the gold standard of quantum chemistry.
