A Structure for Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid Created 2025-06-12 Updated 2025-07-16
Starting line:The Eighth Day of Creation explains the "salt" part as that was the usual way to prepare DNA for X-ray crystallography, where something binds with the phosphate groups of DNA
We wish to suggest a structure for the salt of deoxyribose nucleic acid (D.N.A,). This structure has novel features which are of considerable biological interest.
The paper then shoots down other previously devised helical structures, notably some containing 3 strands or phosphate on the inside.
Then they briefly describe their structure, and promise more details on future articles. This was mostly a short one-page priority note.
Then they drop their shell bomb conclusion:
It has not es~aped our notice that the specific pairing we have postulated immediately suggests a possible copying mechanism for the genetic material.
Both Wilkins and Rosalind Franklin are acknowledged at the end.

NP-hard cryptosystem Created 2025-06-12 Updated 2025-07-16
This is natural question because both integer factorization and discrete logarithm are the basis for the most popular public-key cryptography systems as of 2020 (RSA and Diffie-Hellman key exchange respectively), and both are NP-intermediate. Why not use something more provenly hard?

Holy fuck what a eye watering amount, $800k over 5 years as of 2025, this is exactly what Ciro Santilli would need to push forward OurBigBook! He also fits the requirements quite well, as a "creative person". For Americans or US residents only though, sad. Outdated requirement given the Internet age.

Alpha School Created 2025-06-12 Updated 2025-07-16
The school's model is to offer two hours of academic learning each day using "AI tutors", while the rest of the day is dedicated to developing life skills
The founding lady has several other interesting schools e.g. gt.school:Pretty awesome.
