New addition for the Day group office?

Choose comp-chem and you won't even have to go into the office!

Strange way to ask what sector of science people work in.

Article doesn't mention anything about the UK being bad for research. Merck just complains that the UK doesn't pay enough for drugs and that Trump is pressuring them to invest in US facilities instead.

I don't think it will replace anything. Just how LDA, GGAs, and meta-GGAs can coexist, FFs, MLIPs, and DFT will coexist. MLIPs will just take over some of the tasks where FFs aren't accurate enough and DFT isn't fast enough.

The modern mix of GPUs and CPUs definitely complicates things. In CSP, people used to benchmark by number of force evaluations but that's not applicable to gen-ML. I wonder if there's any merit in comparing GPU and CPU methods by energy used? It's hardware specific, of course.

for the 8th test, it would be really nice to see compute time taken into account. Perhaps a finite amount of compute could be allocated for each group? This would help to separate the efficiency of the method from the amount of resources thrown at the problem.
There's maybe better solutions though.

If your method can't find the experimental crystal(s), then what's the point? And if it's slower than other methods, why wouldn't I use the faster method?
I think the 7th @ccdc.cam.ac.uk blind test made a really positive change in splitting up structure generation and structure ranking, but

Can you do anything to cut the sourness or is this a final product?

Someone was just telling me yesterday that I should think about cloud computing! I'd be interested to listen.

Great additions! Are there any plans to add G/Z''? I'd find it immensely helpful to be able to search the CSD by number of molecules in the asymmetric unit, rather than just number of formula units in the asymmetric unit.
