| fenn | ferrocene + thiophene + ch4 = carbon nanotubes | 00:07 |
|---|---|---|
| mech0r | you just won your way into my heart w/ that | 00:09 |
| mech0r | ok nite | 00:09 |
| fenn | anissimov is very precise in his words, it's unusual | 00:09 |
| kanzure | he's a quick guy :) | 00:11 |
| kanzure | he and I have been meaning to hook up | 00:11 |
| fenn | he's usually on lucifer.com #sl4 | 00:12 |
| fenn | irc.lucifer.com i mean | 00:12 |
| kanzure | http://www.acceleratingfuture.com/ is him | 00:12 |
| kanzure | nope | 00:12 |
| kanzure | I was there for months | 00:12 |
| fenn | oh well | 00:12 |
| kanzure | Eliezer would come into #SL4 from time to time :) | 00:12 |
| fenn | heh random acts of methodical rationality | 00:13 |
| fenn | i wonder if he knows the significance of fleur-de-lise | 00:13 |
| kanzure | a piano song? | 00:16 |
| kanzure | work | 00:16 |
| kanzure | piano piece | 00:16 |
| kanzure | My searches are not working out. | 00:18 |
| kanzure | I've found maybe 15 different people on AIM who might do materials-sci | 00:18 |
| kanzure | but they are all offline | 00:19 |
| fenn | as i understand it, fleur de lise is a symbol of the french monarchy, it was basically their stamp that they put on everything | 00:19 |
| kanzure | query: "AOL IM" "materials science" only pulls up a few results | 00:23 |
| fenn | why AOL IM? | 00:24 |
| kanzure | easy to search for | 00:24 |
| kanzure | Jabber doesn't get many results | 00:24 |
| fenn | jabber is too new | 00:24 |
| kanzure | and I am not sure if I want people who use MSNM/MSN | 00:24 |
| fenn | google chat? :P | 00:24 |
| kanzure | inurl:edu IRC "freenode" "materials science" | 00:25 |
| kanzure | wish I could do a TLD restriction | 00:25 |
| fenn | site:edu | 00:31 |
| kanzure | I guess I can always search for @yahoo.com and guess whether or not the guy does Yahoo Messenger. | 00:33 |

| kanzure | [...] adding texture to the surface of the cells that allows the silicon to absorb more light, a trick that's been used before with single-crystalline devices but has been difficult to implement with multicrystalline silicon. | 01:02 |
| kanzure | [...] silver wires harvest electrical current generated by the silicon. Sachs has developed a method for making these wires as small as one-fifth the width of the wires that are typically used, while improving their conductivity. | 01:02 |
| kanzure | a set of wide, flat wires used to collect current from the thin silver wires. These bars typically block light entering the cell, reducing efficiency. But Sachs has etched their surfaces so that they act as faceted mirrors. | 01:02 |

| kanzure | epitron: I need to do a Baez dump. I'll probably use your server. | 17:47 |
| epitron | what's Baez? | 17:49 |
| kanzure | Baez is the mathematical physicist who has been on the web since 92. He does weekly writeups on his research, the most energized guy you'll probably ever meet on the internet. | 17:50 |
| kanzure | http://google.com/search?q=Baez+inurl:edu | 17:50 |
| epitron | hahah | 17:50 |
| epitron | whoa | 17:51 |
| epitron | einstein rings are fractals? | 17:51 |
| epitron | that's awesome | 17:51 |
| epitron | man, this guy's page rocks. thanks :) | 17:52 |
| epitron | so, what are you dumping? his collected papers? | 17:52 |
| kanzure | yes | 17:55 |
| kanzure | He has written weekly since 92, so I was going through all of his pages and saving them, plus all of the papers he cites | 17:55 |
| kanzure | I am up to week180 or something. | 17:55 |
| epitron | why? does he not back his stuff up? :) | 17:55 |
| epitron | you afraid it's going to disappear? | 17:55 |
| kanzure | packrat behavior :) | 17:56 |
| kanzure | ah, week192 | 17:56 |
| kanzure | That's what I'm up to. But I haven't gone back to this in a few months. | 17:56 |
| kanzure | fenn_: I had a surge of inspiration today. | 17:56 |
| epitron | we could always offer to mirror his site for him | 17:56 |
| epitron | in case it explodes | 17:56 |
| kanzure | fenn_: piezoelectric effect + field effect | 17:56 |
| epitron | or he dies suddenly | 17:56 |
| epitron | then he could send the files directly | 17:56 |
| kanzure | he's been alive on the internet for more than a decade, it's not going anywhere | 17:56 |
| kanzure | but packaging materials is just a basic process that needs to be done | 17:56 |
| epitron | dude | 17:56 |
| epitron | things happen | 17:56 |
| kanzure | sure | 17:56 |
| epitron | car accidents... meteors... toaster mishaps.. | 17:57 |
| epitron | hard drive crashes... | 17:57 |
| kanzure | Einstein ring interactions | 17:57 |
| kanzure | epitron: what do you think of this guy? http://ferrocene.livejournal.com/profile | 17:58 |
| kanzure | I have him thinking on the self-replicator problem. heh | 18:03 |
| epitron | hmmm | 18:13 |
| epitron | sec, just fixing ubuntu | 18:13 |
| epitron | i accidentally broke GLX | 18:14 |
| kanzure | GLX? | 18:14 |
| kanzure | Google Lunar X prize? | 18:14 |
| epitron | (open)GL(/)X(11) | 18:14 |
| kanzure | oh | 18:14 |
| kanzure | oGLx | 18:14 |
| kanzure | or oGLX | 18:14 |
| epitron | no, libglx.so | 18:15 |
| epitron | :) | 18:15 |
| kanzure | much better | 18:15 |
| epitron | for small values of better | 18:41 |
| epitron | and much | 18:42 |
| kanzure | Really this just needs to be a self-replicating AFM/Scanning-Probe-Lithography probe tip. | 19:46 |
| kanzure | fenn_: from earlier today - http://heybryan.org/mediawiki/index.php/Self-replication#Loose_notes | 19:56 |
| epitron | ok, 2 hours later, i've reinstalled ubuntu :D | 20:08 |
| epitron | (the libraries were totally hosed. i was missing symbols on shit) | 20:09 |
| kanzure | heh | 20:09 |
| kanzure | Argh. | 21:05 |
| kanzure | Bohemian is in neuro and patho | 21:06 |
| kanzure | and doesn't have good debugging skills in general. Shit. | 21:06 |
| kanzure | That sort of lack of competence scares the hell out of me. So here's my guide to pathology: http://heybryan.org/mediawiki/index.php/Pathology | 21:12 |
| kanzure | Now we just need to characterize the special functionality and relationships. This is probably already available on some of the bio-ontology websites, maybe I can write a script to convert the ontology files / SBML into graphviz stuff to show on the wiki (I installed a graphviz extension). | 21:12 |
| fenn_ | 'pathology' is 'anatomy' | 23:11 |
| -!- You're now known as fenn | 23:11 | |
| fenn | there's more to understanding how something works than understanding how it breaks | 23:12 |
| kanzure | I've read a few pathology books, it looks like human diagnostics to me | 23:15 |
| kanzure | as in, debugging | 23:15 |
| kanzure | anatomy is anatomy | 23:15 |
| kanzure | pathology is the study of pathogens | 23:15 |
| kanzure | and their pathogenic tendencies heh | 23:16 |
| fenn | i mean your webpage is just a list of human parts | 23:25 |
| kanzure | haha, yes, at the moment | 23:28 |
| kanzure | please excuse me | 23:28 |
| kanzure | it's a work in progress, I was going to then detail the components of the parts | 23:28 |
| kanzure | 'structure is function' | 23:28 |
| kanzure | and I'm doing some research on neurosci and m-chlorophylapipezine in the background at the moment, | 23:28 |
| kanzure | I just opened up a paper about valproic acid and autism | 23:28 |
| kanzure | interesting enough one of the authors is Henry Markram | 23:29 |
| kanzure | I previously wrote about Henry Markram because of the Blue Brain project | 23:29 |
| kanzure | http://heybryan.org/mediawiki/index.php/Blue_Brain_project | 23:29 |
| fenn | i just read that name on anissimov's webpage last night | 23:43 |
| kanzure | He's doing a supercomputer simulation of the mouse neocortical column. | 23:44 |
| kanzure | with 400 different comp-neurosci packages simultaneously. | 23:44 |
| fenn | whats with all the blue references? | 23:47 |
| kanzure | IBM Big Blue supercomputers are in use | 23:48 |
| kanzure | and IBM is big on blue | 23:48 |
| fenn | so wtf does 'blueuctionist' mean? | 23:49 |
| kanzure | no clue | 23:52 |
| fenn | looks like some did s/red/blue/ on the whole article | 23:53 |
| kanzure | ah crap | 23:54 |
| kanzure | did I do that? | 23:54 |
| kanzure | I wonder how I did that. | 23:55 |
