the other 2024 Nobel prizes

I already talked about the Nobel prize in economics. You can read about the others here.

  • physics: “foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks”
  • chemistry: “computational protein design” and “protein structure prediction”
  • physiology or medicine: “the discovery of microRNA and its role in post-transcriptional gene regulation”
  • literature: poetry – yay humanities
  • peace: “efforts to achieve a world free of nuclear weapons and for demonstrating through witness testimony that nuclear weapons must never be used again”

So AI and AI-assisted biotechnology basically. And I hope the taboo against nuclear weapons ever being used is as strong as this suggests it is.
