La-Ribo: RNA Co-Design via Geometry-Latent Flow Matching

RNA function arises from the coupling of nucleotide sequence and three-dimensional structure, motivating their joint design. Coordinating global folding with nucleotide-level detail remains challenging under limited structural supervision. We introduce La-Ribo, a generative framework for RNA sequence-structure co-design via geometry-latent flow matching. La-Ribo retains a sparse phosphate-sugar--base scaffold and encodes nucleotide identity and local conformation in residue-wise latents. A share

Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol says the company is back. His turnaround comes down to 1 leadership principle

There’s an interesting leadership lesson unfolding at Starbucks that has very little to do with coffee. When Brian Niccol took over as CEO, he inherited a company that had drifted from some of what made Starbucks distinctive. Service had become inconsistent. Stores felt less inviting. Employees needed more support. And customers had fewer reasons to stick around. Niccol’s answer wasn’t some complicated management strategy. It was getting back to what made Starbucks Starbucks.

Volkswagen's replacement for the ID.4 crossover is here

Volkswagen’s ID.4 is no more. The midsize crossover debuted in 2021, one of VW's first new electric vehicles designed in the wake of dieselgate. A year later, the company began local production in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and a couple of years ago facelifted the model, adding a much-improved rear drive unit in the process. But Chattanooga turned its attention away from the ID.4 earlier this year. And, having sold almost a million ID.4s (and near-identical ID.5s) globally, the German automaker has decided it’s time for its replacement. Meet the ID.

Neural Decoding as Cognitive Inference

The brain maintains stable cognition despite continuously changing neural activity. How to extract stable cognitive states from variable neural observations remains a central problem in neural decoding. Existing neural decoding methods map neural observations to predefined external labels based on the stimulus-response principle, often capturing recording-specific spurious correlations. Inspired by how the brain infers the world, and specifically by Bayesian brain theory, we recast neural decodi

Microsoft barred from sponsoring foreign workers for US residency

Vice-president JD Vance said on Thursday that the H-1B visa programme for highly skilled foreign workers had “become rife with fraud” and that over-reliance on such schemes was “a fundamental insult to the American worker.” He added that “no company in the US” had “abused this system” more than Microsoft.Read full article Comments
