    The article didn't say how accurate the predictions were. Too bad, that's the important part.

    Is this important? I see we have a model which has not found anything officially, has been validated by no one nor has the science reproduced.

    Maybe I’m cynical, but whenever I read about a high school kid making a science breakthrough I assume this is what happened (based partially on personal experience):- the lab PI has a friend who’s kid needs to put together a college application- PI asks their postdoctoral to tee up a project for the kid.- kid does the last 2% of the project but gets all the credit while being unaware of how much background legwork was needed to get them there. Postdoc gets nothing.

    $10,000 to $20,000 in GPU costs over a couple months. I had $20 per week in highschool. Benefit of being rich is you are awarded opportunities.
