Can AI compress the years long research time of a PhD into seconds? Research scientist Max Jaderberg explores how “AI analogs” simulate real-world lab work with staggering speed and scale, unlocking new insights on protein folding and drug discovery. Drawing on his experience working on Isomorphic Labs' and Google DeepMind's AlphaFold 3 — an AI model for predicting the structure of molecules — Jaderberg explains how this new technology frees up researchers' time and resources to better understand the real, messy world and tackle the next frontiers of science, medicine and more.

Ep. 54 - How Documentation Can Make or Break Your Team – with Connor Clark-Lindh 1:02:55

21 روز پیش1:02:55

1:02:55

The best teams don’t chase perfection—they reduce friction. Ever been told you can’t improve a system because “the documentation isn’t up to date”? In this episode, Elias Voelker sits down with Connor Clark-Lindh , VP of Consulting and Operations at OrionW, to unpack what really drives operational excellence—and what gets in the way. Connor shares how over-documentation can become a blocker instead of a support system, especially as teams scale. He also told me how lately he's seen teams push for new tools or AI solutions before clearly defining the problem—and how he avoids that by going back to basics: talking to people, shadowing their work, and solving real problems from the inside out. This episode is packed with grounded insights for IT Operations, DevOps, and AI Ops leaders looking to build smarter, more sustainable systems. You’ll learn: 1. Why documentation is critical for small teams—but can stall large ones 2. How to avoid solving the wrong problem with the right tool 3. Why replicability is more valuable than superstar performance 4. What to keep in mind before using AI to drive efficiency ___________ Get in touch with Connor on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/connorclarklindh/ ___________ About the host Elias Voelker : Elias is the VP for North America at Checkmk.
