Artificial IntelligenceTutorial to make molecular graphs and develop a simple PyTorch-based GCNPhoto by BoliviaInteligente on UnsplashArtificial intelligence has taken the world by storm. Every week, new models, tools, and applications emerge that promise to push the boundaries of human endeavor. The availability of open-source tools that enable users to train and employ complex machine learning models in a modest number of lines of code have truly democratized AI; at the same time, while many of these off-the-shelf…

After a bruising, losing battle over Proposition HH, a breakneck special session and a public plea from Gov. Jared Polis for local governments to lower their property tax rates, further relief appears to be a trickle more than a torrent for Coloradans. Few local officials have taken up Polis’ request so far, including in metro Denver. And Douglas County, which separately had pursued a 4% across-the-board cut to residential property values, was rebuffed Monday when a unanimous state board rejected the move, citing fairness…

Hold up your hands in front of your face. For most people, they will be mirrored copies of each other: You can hold them palm-to-palm and they will match up, but you cannot superimpose them.Molecules also exhibit this handedness, or chirality. They come structured in two mirrored, non-superimposable forms. And it's a fascinating quirk of life that almost all biomolecules will only work in one of their two forms.Natural amino acids – the building blocks of proteins – are almost always left-handed, or sinistral. Natural…

If floodwaters outside a warehouse in Freeport, Texas, owned by private investment firm Postlane Partners rise to 8 inches, an internet-connected sensor will trigger an automatic $3 million payment from an insurance company, a startup called FloodFlash. If the waters rise to 16 inches, the payment will also rise—to $5 million.  This type of policy, called parametric insurance, works like a bet. It has a defined payout, which limits the liability of the insurer. And it comes from a new breed of insurance company, stepping…

A Michigan judge has awarded the late Aretha Franklin’s sons the legendary singer’s real estate, pointing to a handwritten 2014 will that was found in Franklin’s couch after her 2018 death. The ruling came more than four months after a Michigan jury decided that the will, which was sandwiched between couch cushions in Franklin’s home, was valid. The 2014 document overruled a 2010 will found inside a cabinet in Franklin’s home. Both wills were found around the same time in 2019. The judge decided that Franklin’s son…

A long-vacant nightclub property in Lone Tree is now owned by that city. The municipality closed last week on the purchase of 9070 Maximus Drive, which has sat unused since restaurant and nightclub Treo closed in 2009. The city paid $3.85 million for the 14,500-square-foot building on 3.36 acres. The Lone Tree City Council approved the purchase in September, saying the move would allow the city to control redevelopment of the property, which is within the city’s established entertainment district. The property was sold…

Colorado lawmakers have returned to the State Capitol on Monday morning for the fourth — and possibly final — day of a special session aimed at providing relief from skyrocketing property taxes, rents and other cost-of-living expenses for Coloradans. The House and Senate both reconvened shortly after 10 a.m.. Together they have five bills scheduled for final floor votes and, if needed, discussions to reconcile details between the versions passed by each chamber. The outstanding bills include the majority Democrats’ main…
