that's lame 10:02 < kanzure> one idea is to brighten up http://diyhpl.us:9000/ 10:02 < kanzure> and turn that into a real "thing" 10:03 < klafka> hey let's go host and organize that jstor torrent 10:03 < klafka> :P 10:03 -!- evolv [~greenbrow@unaffiliated/evolv] has joined ##hplusroadmap 10:03 < kanzure> http://diyhpl.us:9000/random 10:03 < kanzure> hi evolv 10:03 < evolv> hey 10:03 < evolv> is that where all the cool cats chat?

10:20 < kanzure> i.e. the patches were things like the logos for diybio, rails, django, python, rubygems logo, atomic science, other things 10:20 < bdesk> does anyone who does diybio actually wear a labcoat 10:21 < kanzure> i saw lab coats hanging up at genspace 10:21 < bdesk> well maybe for the photo ops 10:22 < bdesk> some probably not only wear lab coats, but wear lab coats all the time. 10:23 < bdesk> like when they are cooking or grocery shopping 10:30 < bdesk> if you guys want to do something that is feasible with current technology and might help advance science, and doesnt involve blatantly doing free work for a corporation, then how about setting up a good free legal academic journal system. 10:30 < kanzure> you mean like "open journal system"? 10:30 < kanzure> http://pkp.sfu.ca/?q=ojs 10:30 < bdesk> yeah i didnt know that was a thing 10:30 < bdesk> but i do know that people have thought about this before. 10:31 < bdesk> kanzure: is that project good? 10:31 < kanzure> a lab protocol sharing site might be interesting.. but it's not like a website is going to solve the real problems in that area 10:31 < bdesk> there was openwetware 10:31 < kanzure> bdesk: i know a few people who have used it.. seemed to work 10:31 < kanzure> i haven't looked at the code 10:31 < kanzure> openwetware is still around, but it's just a wiki 10:32 < bdesk> for the free journal system a single website is certainly not enough. 10:33 < bdesk> there are all the intricacies involving the politics among the editors, reviewers, authors, publishers, etc. 10:33 < kanzure> your options are: 10:33 < kanzure> 1) copy something that already works and make it slightly better 10:33 < kanzure> 2) find something that needs to be built that nobody has thought of yet 10:33 < bdesk> are you talking about the journals or the lab protocols 10:33 < kanzure> 3) create something totally new 10:33 < kanzure> just in general for project chocies 10:33 < kanzure> *choices 10:34 < kanzure> you aren't going to solve any significant lab problem in 1 month as far as i can tell ;) 10:34 < Utopiah> is it listed by order of difficulty? 10:34 < kanzure> everything's way too broken there 10:34 < kanzure> no 10:35 < bdesk> I think that there's a lot of inertia behind the current journal system, but that it is possible that it could be stably replaced by a free system. already peer reviewers do the work for free and authors submit their work without pay. 10:35 < kanzure> a simple/cheesy project might be.. "make a site that reviews android science-related apps, and make a downloadable market app and be that thing in that space" 10:36 < kanzure> bdesk: the real reason that doesn't exist is because nobody is going to submit to your no-name journal 10:36 < bdesk> i agree 10:36 < kanzure> elsevier owns something like 10,000 journals 10:36 < kanzure> the majority of them are 5-10 professors that have known each other for 40+ years 10:36 < bdesk> im not saying that it's simple, just that it could be stable if it could ever become established. 10:37 < kanzure> the problem there isn't making a new system, but rather convincing all of them that something different is better 10:37 < bdesk> kanzure: agreed on all counts, that's where my remark about politics comes from. 10:37 < Utopiah> bdesk: it's long and old but I think well written http://www.arl.org/resources/pubs/mmproceedings/138guedon.shtml 10:38 < kanzure> heh "How Commercial Publishers Managed to Harness the Digital Revolution into a Counterrevolution" 10:41 < klafka> i am still of the opinion that the idea of peer review in its current form needs to be replaced by a more reddit-like organization 10:41 < klafka> \ social network situation 10:42 < kanzure> huh never knew about cnslp 10:42 < bdesk> I think peer review could stay in its current form. It's not like the peer reviewers are being paid right now anyway. Neither are the authors. 10:42 < kanzure> yeah, an experimental peer review site might be fun.. 10:42 < kanzure> where you give the link to the reviewers and they write down everything wrong on the site 10:42 < klafka> well bdesk lets think about what the point of peer review 10:42 < klafka> exactly kanzure 10:42 < kanzure> with an ipad app (web view) and other shit 10:43 < klafka> and you can apply points to the paper 10:43 < kanzure> then you can do a peer reviewing economy.. blah blah blah 10:43 < klafka> _however_ points should not be applied equally 10:43 < bdesk> Im just saying that if you want to change the publishing system then it is possible to make it free without also changing the review system. 10:43 < klafka> i agree 10:43 < klafka> but i kind of want to change both 10:43 < klafka> I think peer review is not the best 10:43 < bdesk> If you want to turn it into reddit at the same time, then this will only be more things to change at once. 10:43 < klafka> faceface and i have talk about this a lot 10:44 < kanzure> nobody would use reddit for peer review 10:44 < klafka> bdesk so your basic idea is that cataclysmic change will never work 10:44 < kanzure> what they will want is a private, locked-down login system, etc. etc. 10:44 < klafka> kanzure i'm not saying use reddit 10:44 < klafka> i'm saying a login system tied to your actual credentials 10:44 < klafka> in some cases anonymity on the web is good 10:44 < klafka> sometimes its not 10:44 < bdesk> I'm saying that changing to a free system is cataclysmic enough, as kanzure has pointed out already. and that redditizing it is unneccesary excess calamity to add to the process. 10:45 < klafka> bdesk it may be the case that you must radicalize past a certain point for people to embark on the process 10:45 < klafka> perhaps it has to be so completely different 10:45 < klafka> no i don't really believe that 10:47 < kanzure> heh "If, through the manipulation of the number of articles in a given database, a publisher manages to affect the rate of use of its own articles, it also stands to reason that this publisher is able to affect the citation rate of its articles." 10:47 < bdesk> I think that the journal system can be replaced by a free system with basically zero difference from the perspective of authors and reviewers. 10:48 < klafka> agreed 10:48 < klafka> i think bdesk that is slowly happening 10:48 < klafka> honestly 10:48 < kanzure> "The European Union has quietly blocked the merging of Reed-Elsevier with Kluwer that had been announced in October 1997, but the Anglo-Dutch giant has recently acquired Academic Press." 10:48 < klafka> we need the death of IEEE and ACM and Jstor and elsevier 10:50 < kanzure> and acs 10:51 < fenn> there will be a private showing of "limitless" at ardent west tomorrow.. anyone in the bay area?

11:43 < kanzure> ebay stores, alibaba users, shady sites? 11:43 < fenn> this is all i got http://fennetic.net/irc/drug_prices 11:44 < fenn> and smart-drugs.net 11:44 < kanzure> smarterdrugs.org is available 11:48 < kanzure> actually, you could probably make an argument that a nootropics site like that should be a subscription service 11:48 < kanzure> "because it's smart to pay for this" 11:48 < kanzure> hah 11:48 < fenn> meh 11:48 < fenn> rather do referral revenue 11:49 < fenn> don't get int he way 11:51 < kanzure> Nam-Ereh-Won: ping 11:53 < Nam-Ereh-Won> pong 11:53 < kanzure> fenn: Nam-Ereh-Won is an old high school friend of mine currently moving into what might be a hosting company job 11:53 < kanzure> prolly what you did for whoever it was 11:53 < fenn> blegh 11:54 < fenn> tell him to ask for more money 11:54 < Nam-Ereh-Won> beats end luser support 11:54 < fenn> oh hi 11:54 < Nam-Ereh-Won> yo 11:54 < kanzure> so i'm trying to convince him to do a project with ybit and thesnark 11:54 < kanzure> possibly this nootropics aggregator shopper thing or the factory mapper 11:55 * fenn mumbles something about giving away all his ideas 11:56 < fenn> i'm manfred macx 11:57 < fenn> god what a terrible book 12:01 < kanzure> what about a site to organize http://diyhpl.us/~bryan/papers2/longevity/ 12:01 < kanzure> deliquentme might like that 12:01 < kanzure> eightpennies is always complaining that nobody reads enough 12:02 < kanzure> i can't think of anything particularly practical though.. i mean that's more like a blog 12:03 < kanzure> gitduino-for-microfluidics (way easier than writing lolcad.. that's for sure) 12:03 < fenn> a site to organize journalz?

nobody, that' swho 12:09 < fenn> nobody^2 12:09 < kanzure> no i'm talking about a market 12:10 < kanzure> it's the same exact model as a debian mirror 12:10 < fenn> so i have to figure out how to install a new market on my phone? not gonna happen 12:10 < kanzure> you click "download" and you're done 12:10 < fenn> well, i dont get it 12:10 < kanzure> the default market app sucks 12:10 < fenn> why not just make some science apps instead?

12:25 < kanzure> what would that do? 12:25 < delinquentme> we've got the "whos who of biogerontology" available to us 12:25 < kanzure> yeah i've got that database too.. 12:25 < klafka> heh 12:26 < delinquentme> map >> allow people to contribute thoughts to what they might do with the extra time 12:26 < kanzure> oh this is from forever ago but i suggested it to ybit 12:26 < kanzure> a lab rat adoption service so that experimentalists don't have to sacrifice 'em 12:26 < delinquentme> but really i think id like to address those who already know they'd like to live longer 12:26 < delinquentme> cute 12:26 < kanzure> (so, the website primarily- not the actual service) 12:27 < kanzure> i mean, not the actual rat keeping 12:27 < fenn> they don't have to sacrifice them 12:27 < fenn> also, they're still useful for other purposes 12:27 < delinquentme> but dont these rats also have all kinds of stuff running through them 12:27 < delinquentme> they are after all biomedical expiriments 12:27 < delinquentme> personally id like to say lets hit on the angle list 12:27 < kanzure> delinquentme: the cancerous mice and rats? sure.. 12:28 < kanzure> what? you don't even have a product lolz why would you post to angel list 12:28 < delinquentme> what information can we provide to the VCs on angle list .. which would be of benefit to them 12:28 < delinquentme> kanzure, i mean look at these guys 12:28 < gedankenstuecke> delinquentme: thats the reason why they have to kill lab animals after your experiments in germany afair 12:28 < delinquentme> as customers 12:28 < delinquentme> say "this is the target market .. these are the guys we want to bring benefit to" 12:29 < kanzure> well someone did and that's why they came up with awful ideas like lunchwithme and shit 12:29 < delinquentme> i bet every last one of them are in some way interested in life extension 12:29 < delinquentme> but why would a vc want to commoditize their time 12:29 < delinquentme> thats a shitty idea 12:29 < delinquentme> what do those VCs want 12:29 < kanzure> i wish i had the link.. it's pretty hilarious 12:30 < delinquentme> we could easily make a service that would provide some kind of graphical representation of whats getting talked about in the DIY bio circles 12:30 < kanzure> they want peopel to stop bugging them with bad ideas, they want to make money, they want to negotiate terms that are good for them 12:30 < kanzure> why would they care about that? 12:30 < delinquentme> information 12:31 < kanzure> if they were going to invest in biotech why would they go to the software circles? 12:31 < kanzure> and much less a non-commercial biotech group? 12:31 < delinquentme> what would make the lives of those VC's who are experienced in biology ... to find more bio ventures .. or to better quantify those that are out there 12:32 < kanzure> "don't invest $80 billion in someone with no product" 12:32 < delinquentme> do we have someone proficient in autocad? 12:33 < delinquentme> there is w/o a doubt money to be made in automation in bio 12:33 < kanzure> i've used a lot of cad tools like autocad, solidworks, pro/engineer, catia, alibre, heekscad, brlcad, opencascade, openscad.. 12:33 < delinquentme> sweet 12:33 < kanzure> where do you see that money coming from?? labs are way too cheap 12:33 < fenn> autocad sucks 12:33 < delinquentme> kanzure, the machines out there .. or processes which havnt yet been automated 12:34 < kanzure> that's usually a market problem not an engineering problem 12:34 < kanzure> i.e., the market is so messed up in its structure that they'd rather hire undergrads than buy equipment 12:34 < delinquentme> miniprep >> PCR >> gel electro 12:35 < delinquentme> true but at the same time we could make those grads more productive 12:35 < delinquentme> now i've only been in 1 legit lab.. but from what i was told .. the work is all veryyy linear 12:35 < delinquentme> with lots of waiting time 12:35 < fenn> this is what i'm going to be building soonish 12:35 < kanzure> there's lots of monotonous work, sure 12:35 < fenn> something grad students can afford themselves and tell the PI to fuck off 12:35 < kanzure> and i love me my equipment and robotics and automation 12:36 < kanzure> fenn: ok, that might work 12:36 < fenn> and actually make it "actually open source" 12:37 < delinquentme> thats a cool idea 12:37 < fenn> i havent even told you what i'm doing 12:37 < delinquentme> or even if you made something under the chump change number 12:37 < delinquentme> it'd be like a non issue to purchase 12:38 < fenn> obviously you dont understand lab funding politics 12:38 < delinquentme> fenn dont they have a discretionary budget? 12:38 < delinquentme> like "common change" of like $500 or something 12:38 < fenn> you couldn't buy so much as a pair of gloves if it was perceived as unjustified 12:39 < fenn> it depends on the institution 12:39 < delinquentme> in no way would it be unjustified 12:39 < fenn> i said "perceived as" 12:39 < delinquentme> it just wouldnt have to be run through the purchase channels 12:39 < kanzure> no they run everything through the purchase channels 12:39 < kanzure> in fact they sometimes have required 'vendors' 12:39 < kanzure> (vendors that have made deals with the institution and bought their souls, etc.) 12:40 < kanzure> anyway, getting around that by something that the grad studens would buy is an interesting approach 12:41 < kanzure> *students 12:41 < delinquentme> novel for sure 12:41 < delinquentme> are pipettes easy to build? 12:41 < delinquentme> well the usual better / cheaper deal 12:41 < kanzure> someone posted a spec sheet for pipettes on diybio about 15 months ago 12:42 < kanzure> pipette tips, i mean 12:43 < kanzure> delinquentme: keep thinking about 1-month web/mobile app ideas 12:43 < kanzure> doesn't have to be something that makes money. 12:44 < delinquentme> gilt group for medical equip? 12:44 < delinquentme> doesnt work with the purch structure though 12:44 < delinquentme> yeah ill stash it 12:46 < kanzure> oh there's also my silly password recovery site idea.. the one that automatically switches out your password on 100s of sites 12:46 < Utopiah> (related http://www.leavethenet.com ) 12:47 < kanzure> there's another one.. d-something.me.. i can't remember the url 12:47 < kanzure> but they got monies, some cookie deleter. 12:48 < klafka> could you make pippette tubes with 3d printers? 12:48 < kanzure> not as efficiently as the factories :p 12:49 < kanzure> also i think cathal made a microcentrifuge tube on a makerbot or reprap about two years ago 12:49 < kanzure> not quite a pipette tip 12:49 < klafka> aa 12:49 < klafka> well yeah surprisingly not as efficient as factories :P 12:49 < klafka> probably way more costly too 12:50 < klafka> oh hey you guys would probably know, what's a good place to look for job listings for startups/interesting companies in the bay area? 12:51 < delinquentme> y combinator? 12:51 < delinquentme> erm hacker news i mean 12:51 < klafka> they seem to always have very few postings 12:51 < kanzure> news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2831646 12:52 < klafka> ooh that's cool 12:54 < klafka> i'm actually applying for one of those jobs there 12:59 < Utopiah> klafka: are there events organized by local incubators? 12:59 < klafka> no 12:59 < klafka> i am remote 12:59 < klafka> i live in rochester ny 13:00 < klafka> i want to move to sf though 13:00 < klafka> or rather, there probably are there 13:00 < kanzure> there are some fun jobs in nyc.. like stackoverflow 13:00 < kanzure> and makerbot industries is hiring some more web dev knowhow 13:01 < klafka> rochester ny is however 6hrs from nyc 13:02 < klafka> i'm trying to find like entry level data mining / "engineer" jobs 13:02 < kanzure> what the heck is "entry level" 13:02 < kanzure> do you have a resume i can look at? 13:02 < klafka> sure 13:03 < klafka> emailed 13:04 < kanzure> nice 13:04 < kanzure> i like the formatting 13:05 < kanzure> it almost hides the fact that you've only worked in labs 13:05 < klafka> yup 13:05 < klafka> that is my problem, there aren't real jobs here 13:06 < kanzure> welp.. you wanna work on the 1-month project with the others in here? 13:06 < klafka> sure 13:06 < kanzure> pile on.. get some interesting non-research-related project on your resume 13:06 < klafka> yeah i'm also working on extending pyMC 13:06 < kanzure> cool. 13:06 < kanzure> have you used scikit.learn? 13:06 < klafka> i want to extend it for various ensemble MCMC methods 13:07 < klafka> hmm no 13:07 < kanzure> take a look at the crazy stuff going on here 13:07 < kanzure> http://scikit-learn.sourceforge.net/stable/ 13:07 < delinquentme> oh kanzure that reminds me 13:07 < klafka> i assume it's built on matplotlib/scipy/numpy 13:07 < delinquentme> another thing i was intersted in 13:07 < kanzure> klafka: actually i don't know, i hope it's on top of scipy :) 13:07 < klafka> hahaha 13:07 < delinquentme> smaller financial planning services ... it would be hella easy to provide montecarlos for them with AWS 13:08 < klafka> interesting kanzure, they don't have a lot of fancy techniques 13:08 < klafka> but very interesting 13:08 < kanzure> there was one that had tooons of crazy algorthims going on 13:08 < kanzure> was it somehow related to nltk? augur might know.. 13:09 < klafka> hmm maybe 13:09 < klafka> is nltk any good? 13:09 < kanzure> i used it a few times.. it did what i needed 13:09 < augur> O_O 13:09 < klafka> i was reading the book that goes with it but i got kind of sick of the book 13:09 < augur> what 13:09 < kanzure> hah there's a book! 13:09 < kanzure> alright well that's.. something i'll have to avoid 13:09 < klafka> http://www.nltk.org/book 13:09 < klafka> it was just too much intro to python and intro to nl 13:09 < klafka> nlp 13:09 < evolv> no wonder why nobody talks in bioinfo anymore 13:10 < klafka> evolv i haven't talked in here or there in awhile 13:10 < klafka> actually 13:10 < augur> i dont know jack about nlp 13:10 < delinquentme> hmmm NLP for ruby >>> http://mendicantbug.com/2009/09/13/nlp-resources-for-ruby/ 13:10 < kanzure> augur: i thought you did linguistic stuff 13:10 < augur> i do. 13:11 < augur> nlp isnt linguistics 13:11 < kanzure> evolv: yeah this is sort of a crazy channel 13:11 < kanzure> evolv: we swing between "a bunch of losers on irc" and "wait you're using how many terajoules" 13:11 < evolv> :D 13:12 < evolv> sweet, I'm down with that 13:12 < kanzure> augur: :( ok 13:12 < augur> NLP is to Linguistics as the design of genome scanners is to biology 13:12 < augur> not even, because genome scanners might be useful for biologists 13:13 < augur> whereas NLP provides nothing for linguists to use 13:14 < delinquentme> linguistics >> input for the NLP 13:14 < augur> delinquentme: not even 13:15 < augur> NLPers basically ignore linguistics 13:15 < delinquentme> no? 13:15 < delinquentme> how? 13:15 < klafka> augur modern nlp seems totally statistical 13:16 < delinquentme> just saying .. bc that doesnt sound to me like its accurate 13:16 < delinquentme> slash "makes sense" 13:18 < augur> klafka: its not, but NLPers wont let you know that 13:18 < augur> delinquentme: it DOESNT make sense but its pretty much true 13:18 < klafka> ? i mean i guess a;ll the NLP is statistical learning/inference, like CRFs for PoS tagging say 13:18 < delinquentme> augur, so you're saying its not based on statistic nor linguistics 13:18 < klafka> er that i've seen 13:19 < delinquentme> whats in the background ? 13:19 < augur> delinquentme: not _entirely_ statistics 13:19 < augur> it makes heavy use of statistics 13:19 < augur> but NLPers will often say its _just_ statistics 13:19 < klafka> so the other part isn't linguistics? 13:19 < augur> which is false 13:19 < augur> klafka: indeed. the other part is whatever state machines/formal grammars work best for the task at hand 13:20 < augur> or if its not a parsing-like task, whatever random idea they have 13:20 < klafka> i see 13:20 < augur> and fair enough, those extra bits often work and lead to interesting new ways of modelling the phenomenon in question 13:20 < augur> or at least of getting better results 13:20 < augur> but they dont take any hints from linguistics 13:21 < augur> and at this stage they probably dont _need_ to 13:21 < klafka> i see 13:21 < klafka> i guess i don't really know enough about linguistics to make intelligent comments about it 13:21 < augur> NLP is like pre-newtonian physics 13:22 < klafka> i'm starting to think that more and more, most fields are like biology 13:22 < klafka> and physics is hte exception 13:22 < augur> the step from aristotle to galileo vs the step from einstein to witten, or something 13:23 < klafka> that most fields are very heterogenous in nature and may not have a 'relatively' simple set of rules to model it 13:23 < klafka> like physics 13:23 < augur> NLP is hacking away at big chunks, low hanging fruit, easy targets 13:23 < klafka> i see 13:23 < augur> and so what theyre doing can indeed make "huge" strides 13:24 < augur> or if you want to compare it to art 13:25 < augur> think of the different between the initial whacks at a piece of marble that cut away big chunks of unnecessary marble 13:25 < augur> vs the latter stages of the sculpture, where you have to be precise, nuanced, and you have to know the shape you're trying to make intimately well 13:26 < augur> beginning sculptors can get you a vague outline of a human 13:26 < augur> but only michelangelo can get you david 13:31 < augur> the statistical methods that NLPers use are the same as in cancer detection systems, for instance 13:31 < augur> not sort of, but literally. 13:31 < klafka> right 13:32 < augur> ive taken NLP courses. unabashedly NLP courses. and half the time, the explanations for the algos used these other tasks as examples 13:32 < augur> which is fine, but it means that what NLP is currently doing is carving out the regularity that isn't really particular to language 13:33 < klafka> eh, it could be that the techniques generalize well 13:33 < klafka> i mean regresion analysis is used for finance and biology 13:33 < klafka> does that mean they are both immature ? 13:33 < augur> yes 13:34 < augur> it means that our understanding of finance and biology is very young 13:34 < augur> finance and biology are clearly different systems obeying different laws in one way or another 13:35 < klafka> eh, in kind but not overall, they (though they may not be ) abstractly be the same 13:35 < klafka> i mean the advantage of modelling is to simplify the reality so that you can do something useful with it 13:35 < augur> it depends on what you mean by abstractly 13:35 < augur> at some level, EVERYTHING is abstractly the same 13:35 < augur> its a matter of approximation 13:36 < klafka> right 13:36 < augur> if you approximate, you can unify a lot of things 13:36 < augur> but approximations are approximations 13:36 < klafka> you seem to believe that the level of utility necessarily goes up as the level of detail does 13:36 < augur> if you want better approximations, you have to specialize 13:36 < augur> oh no this isnt about level of utility 13:36 < klafka> it's just about the accuracy of the model? 13:37 < augur> NLP as it is is incredibly successful at what its intended for 13:37 < augur> but what it's intended for is not understanding how language works 13:37 < klafka> oh 13:37 < klafka> yeah totally 13:37 < klafka> agreed 13:37 < klafka> it's for doing useful things 13:38 < augur> for some definition of useful :) 13:38 < klafka> not that that isn't necessarily useful 13:38 < klafka> but NLP seems muc more utilitarian 13:38 < klafka> particularly w/ the web 13:38 < augur> its very utilitarian in some sense 13:39 < augur> i mean, yeah, a web example is good 13:39 < augur> you have to have the ability to handle noisy, poorly written text from all sorts of people 13:39 < augur> non-native speakers, children, regional variation, etc. 13:40 < klafka> idiots 13:40 < augur> not that this is what most NLPers are aiming for 13:40 < augur> i mean, the big bucks come from crap like sentiment analysis 13:40 < augur> and most sentiment analysis is crap 13:40 < augur> but it sells 13:41 < klafka> interesting 13:42 < augur> sentiment analysis, btw, is stuff like looking at movie reviews and judging whether its a positive or negative review 13:42 < augur> or that sort of thing 13:42 < augur> is this blog post pro- or anti-israel 13:42 < augur> etc 13:43 < augur> these are common themes in the sentiment analysis literature 13:43 < klafka> *nod 13:43 < klafka> i see 13:43 < klafka> why do you think it sucks? 13:43 < klafka> i mean you can view it as just a supervised learning problem 13:43 < klafka> if you have a lot of data 13:43 < klafka> or perhaps an unsupervised learning problem 13:45 < augur> why do i think what sucks 13:45 < klafka> sentiment analysis 13:46 < augur> im not saying sentiment analysis sucks 13:46 < augur> where did you get that impression 13:46 < augur> well ok 13:46 < augur> most sentiment analysis TECHNIQUES are crap 13:46 < augur> yes 13:47 < augur> but thats just because people aren't actually applying real learning techniques to the task 13:47 < augur> most sentiment analysis is just shit like token counting or keyword finding 13:48 < augur> the real sentiment analysis people dont suck, they do proper work 13:48 < augur> theres just a lot of bs 13:50 < klafka> aah i see 13:50 < klafka> gotchya 14:03 -!- devrandom [~devrandom@gateway/tor-sasl/niftyzero1] has quit [Ping timeout: 250 seconds] 14:17 -!- devrandom [~devrandom@gateway/tor-sasl/niftyzero1] has joined ##hplusroadmap 14:21 < delinquentme> kanzure, http://www.lifetechnologies.com/content/lifetech/en/home/about-life-technologies/grand-challenges.html?ICID=LTHP-LGC-0611 14:35 -!- marainein [~marainein@124-168-101-91.dyn.iinet.net.au] has quit [Remote host closed the connection] 14:42 < kanzure> various "plan b"s for patents http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2855397 15:15 -!- ybit [~yottabit@unaffiliated/ybit] has joined ##hplusroadmap 15:18 < kanzure> http://www.wired.com/culture/culturereviews/magazine/17-07/st_singularity 15:18 < fenn> http://www.cremationsolutions.com/Personal-Cremation-Urns-for-ashes-c109.html 15:19 < kanzure> glad to see tv/vcr repair a part of the singularityu curriculum 15:24 < kanzure> fenn: someone should give one of osama to obama 15:30 -!- Fiohnel [~r3idslash@111.94.244.81] has quit [Ping timeout: 276 seconds] 16:01 -!- ybit [~yottabit@unaffiliated/ybit] has quit [Ping timeout: 260 seconds] 16:23 -!- desaiu [~desaiu@unaffiliated/desaiu] has joined ##hplusroadmap 16:24 -!- desaiu [~desaiu@unaffiliated/desaiu] has left ##hplusroadmap [] 16:33 < kanzure> desai shukla?
