Headline should read, DeepMind calculated 2.2 million hypothetically stable crystal structures with the possibility to advance everything from materials science to biology (emphasis mine)

There’s a large difference between a hypothetical crystal structure and being able to produce that crystal structure in the real world. And an even larger difference between the hypothetical and the ability to produce the crystal structure in an efficient and cost-effective enough manner to be usable. There are already multiple materials that are known that would make better batteries than lithium-ion batteries, but either the manufacturing method is too hard or expensive, or the materials are extremely rare. So it’s nice DeepMind was able to do this, but it’s years from being usable still.

It’s like they were trying to jump the Gorge Dukes of Hazzard style. Crazy to watch.

I would add on that apparently the play tree for Dorsey was apparently so simple that defenses could figure it out in only a few plays. Like if guys lined up in a certain way, then the D knew it would 1-2 plays max. That allows defenses to guess the play and jump routes, which accounts for a significant chunk of Allen’s interceptions for the year. If that’s true, then it’s no wonder Allen has the number of interceptions he does and then blame really doesn’t fall on the offense’s shoulders, but on the OC for being so transparent.

Tikka Masala • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs (or we do tofu for a vegan meal) • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt divided • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter • 1 small yellow onion finely chopped • 3 large cloves garlic minced (about 1 tablespoon) • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger • 1 tablespoon garam masala* • 1 teaspoon ground chili powder • 1 teaspoon ground cumin • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric • 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne use more if you like the dish spicy • 1 can no salt added tomato sauce (8 ounces) • 1 can coconut milk (14 ounces) • 3/4 cup frozen peas • 1/2 cup plain nonfat lactose free Greek yogurt • Prepared brown rice or naan, for serving • Fresh cilantro for serving

Instructions

• Season the chicken with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and set aside.
• Add the butter to an Instant Pot and set to SAUTE. Once melted, add the onion, garlic, ginger, garam masala, chili powder, cumin, turmeric, and cayenne. Cook, stirring often, until the onion is soft and the spices are very fragrant, about 5 minutes.
• Add the chicken pieces, stir to coat with the spices and onion, and cook, stirring often,  just until the outsides start to brown, about 4 minutes. Add the tomato sauce and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir to combine. Cover and cook on HIGH pressure for 8 minutes. Vent to immediately release the pressure.
• Uncover and stir in the coconut milk. Turn the Instant Pot back to SAUTE. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally, and let it continue to simmer until the sauce thickens slightly, about 10 to 15 minutes. Turn the Instant Pot off, and then stir in the peas. Let cool for 3 to 4 minutes, and then stir in the Greek yogurt (do not stir in the Greek yogurt right away or it may curdle). Enjoy warm with rice or naan and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

It’s a problem in that it ignores the fact that McCown (who happened to then fight for the Confederacy after) collected this bird and gave it to another white man, who ‘named’ it. The bird was already well known to Native American tribes in Texas and Arizona. So to say that McCown ‘discovered’ it is just blatantly wrong. The name that the AOS will go with is the ‘thick-billed longspur’ as it’s anatomically accurate and doesn’t make it seem like McCown discovered this bird.

Now I’m sitting here trying not to laugh, thinking about the old adage: how do you know if the Pope is venomous or poisonous?

If you bite the Pope and you die, he’s poisonous. If the Pope bites you and you die, he’s venomous.
