Quitte frankly, the article doesn't amount to much - the video is worth clicking the link! This is what all the Folding at Home is all about!

You can now look at the SARS-CoV-2 virus up close – at the atomic level, in fact – thanks to a scientifically accurate 3D model created by a biomedical visualization studio with the help of leading virologists.

The video by Visual Science, which is just over a minute long, lends fresh insight into the intricate structure of the deadly virus by painstakingly detailing how it functions – and how our bodies fight it. At the start of the video, we are told that the novel coronavirus at the center of the ongoing pandemic is a mere 1/1,000th the width of a human hair. Thanks to cutting-edge modelling tech, though, we are able to see the molecular structure of the virus up close.

    I'm not going to argue coding, because I ain't no coder. But I have disassembled and browsed through some code. Yeah, I was mostly following instructions, that I found on the intartubez.

    In this case, FAHClient, it's not a huge file. We already know that it must contain some mathematics pointers to libraries, if not containing some libraries of it's own (or are those all to be found in the cores?). I mean, we know going in basically what it is, and what we might expect to find inside.

    Am I to believe that it's beyond the reach of any Soylentils to take it apart, and to step through the code, to figure out what it does? Kinda busy at the moment, or I'd take a stab at it to see how far I can get in an afternoon.
