FWIW, the UK Met Office's models are described here: https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/research/approach/modelling-sys...

Yeah, it was definitely inspired by the Eye.

Blimey, that's an address I haven't seen in a long time. Happy times downloading Amiga shareware from a university computer lab.

And now I feel old...

Yep, after years of being a couch- and desk-potato, this got me out and running. That, and having a young and energetic dog in the early stages of lock-down!

I've managed to stick to 5-10km every other day (though it's a challenge in the winter, admittedly), and did my first half marathon in 2:09 a couple of months ago.

As the article says

> The details of how AlphaFold 2 works are still unknown, and we may not have full access to them until their paper is peer-reviewed (which may take more than a year, based on their CASP13 paper).

So it's not particularly surprising that we haven't heard much yet.

Yeah, it's practically archaeology now! It is very fast for doing some things, though.

If anyone's interested in it from a Dot Net perspective, ExcelDNA [0] was excellent when I used it a few years ago.
