Most of this data was recorded commensally at the Arecibo observatory over a 22 yr period
Interesting as Arecibo collapsed in December of 2020. It sounds like they have a lot of data to still churn through.
Definetly something going on here I'm not following.
>SETI@home is in hiberation. We are no longer distributing tasks. [0]
Is this paper really old or something? I would love to turn on my clients again :D
I know what you mean these types of projects inspired me to contribute as a young citizen scientist.
A different domain, but https://foldingathome.org/ is still running. Using distributed compute to study protein folding.
But to your point: No--AlphaFold is an amazing machine learning approach to predicting protein structure but Folding@Home is still immensely useful for simulating how proteins fold up over a timescale. They are/will be complimentary methods.
