He goes, and that's when it's time to push.
I've seen it so many times before and we'll explode through.
And I was like, that's pretty dope how he kind of
had developed judgment on the scientific process and the creative process enough to know when do you push and when do you not push.
Right.
And so knowing that these J-curve progress things exist is important because the amateur would panic.
The amateur would not go forward.
Right.
And so he, anyways, they end up crushing the thing and they show kind of like how they did it.
They ended up getting 90% prediction accuracy and they basically solved the single protein folding question.
Now there's also like multi-protein and there's like variations and there's like all these other, now they moved on to harder things.
But it's pretty crazy that the line graph was like, you know, 20, 30%, 23%.
And then it went to 90 in one year when they like went back to the drawing board and figured it out.
And how ecstatic they were.
They're like, you know, this just changed the world.
People don't realize this yet, but this just changed the world.
And it's reminded me of your inflections thing, which you should say, describe your inflections thing for entrepreneurs.
I think it's one of the best like axioms or principles you have on entrepreneurship.
And so I think this alpha fold stuff where figuring out the protein folding is a massive inflection.
And I didn't really know what the businesses were around this, but I kind of like Googled afterwards.
