A rebel on my new Pebble!

Excited to get this release out there! It's been cool seeing sw made for the real robot function identically in sim. Also really glad to be building on MuJoCo; their codebase & docs are incredible

Our new preprint PharmacoForge: Pharmacophore Generation with Diffusion Models is out now! PharmacoForge quickly generates pharmacophores for a given protein pocket that identify key binding features and find useful compounds in a pharmacophore search. Check it out! 🧪 doi.org/10.26434/che...

I'd be willing to give it a shot. I'm already attempting to port PebbleOS to posix (youtube.com/shorts/ifAvk...). I'm aware qemu exists, I'm doing this to get familiar with the codebase. I'd planned to target the RP2350 (since it's also cortex m4) next, but could be convinced to try ESP instead.

For a pythonic trajopt and MPC library, I really like OpTaS by Chris Mower. It's really well designed and easy to use.
