kanzure_You'll have to give me a while. The WAN is acting up since it's a dorm and it's 11 at night.00:02
* kanzure_ has a monitor on his server for log viewing that he's typing from.00:02
Andaresheh00:03
Andareswhy are you in a dorm?00:03
kanzure_I was kicked out of the house.00:07
AndaresThat sucks.00:07
AndaresI'd ask why, but that'd be nosy. :p00:07
AndaresHow'd you get into the dorm though?00:07
AndaresI thought you usually couldn't.00:07
kanzure_Meh. I was kicked out because of my ... pecularities -- such as being somewhat of a packrat, and really, really not wanting the trumpet to be played in the house (not a lot of insulation, so you can hear the thing down the block, -- how can you get work done with that?) etc.00:10
kanzure_General incompatability with parental units. :-)00:11
Andareshehe00:11
Seldon_Planlot of that goes around00:12
Seldon_Plancause you are just given to whoever gave birth to you!00:12
Seldon_Planhow barbaric00:12
kanzure_It got to the point where I started standing up for myself. Refusing to mow the lawn. 00:13
kanzure_I explained to them how it is completely feasible to build a robot to mow the lawn, without a lot of effort, dumping on them the schematics, links and documentation on how it's all supposed to work,00:14
Seldon_Planshould be done by a laser guided robot with programable circuit boards of course00:14
Seldon_Plananyway00:14
kanzure_[and this general pattern for many things], and they called me insane.00:14
Seldon_Plankanzure_ can i get a last word with you in the other channel?00:14
kanzure_Sure.00:14
Andareskanzure_, you should have built the robot for them.00:19
AndaresThen you wouldn't have had to mow.00:19
kanzure_Andares: Broke, remember?00:19
AndaresHrm.00:19
AndaresTrue.00:19
AndaresSee, I tend to generally follow what my dad tells me to do.00:19
AndaresEven though I kind of hate him.00:19
kanzure_It's not a matter of hating them.00:19
AndaresSeldon_Plan, Foundation ^_^00:19
AndaresI love my mom though. :( I get separation anxiety from her.00:19
kanzure_It's a matter of being in pain doing something that I know I can build machines to do.00:19
Andareseh, I just give up.00:21
AndaresSay "Yes" and "No I won't."00:21
AndaresThen do things behind their back like 2C-I. :D00:21
Seldon_Planheh00:22
AndaresSeldon_Plan, interesting series I think.00:22
Seldon_Planyeah00:24
Seldon_Planmore then interesting00:24
Seldon_Planhe was laying a framework for a larger scope of ideas00:25
Seldon_Planabout evolution itself00:25
Seldon_Plandont care if it reads as fiction00:25
Seldon_Planthat man was MOTIVATED - you ever seen the fully body of his work?00:25
kanzure_He typed 8 hours per day nonstop.00:27
AndaresI haven't seen all of it.00:27
AndaresBut it's amazing to me that everything was on a SINGLE timeline.00:27
AndaresFoundation and I, Robot, even that Lucky Starr series are all in the same universe I think.00:27
Seldon_Planever venture to his pure nonfiction stuff00:27
Depucelato1There are lawn-mowing robots, they're like $150000:27
Seldon_Planmy most prized book is Asimov's guide to the bible00:27
Andareshuh00:28
SplicerIt was a long time since I read those... what was the larger scope of ideas on evolution?00:31
SplicerSomething about the computer being able to predict even unlikely evolutionery events?00:34

kanzure_Depucelato1: It should be significantly cheaper.00:34
kanzure_Bah.00:34
Seldon_Plankanzure_ last words over in other chan-00:59
Seldon_Plannite00:59
Seldon_Plansplicer ask me a different day00:59
Seldon_Plani can explain it in full- and the advancements i have made on the theories00:59

ybit"Essentially these guys actually know what they are doing -- they built a Google Maps AJAX interface to their neuroscience information that they had been automatically collecting. The demo is offline now"22:37
ybitkanzure_: did you see this http://sparql.neurocommons.org:8890/map/#Kcnip3@2850,Kcnd1@280022:37
kanzure_is that the map and does it work22:37
kanzure_shit22:38
ybitit's working for me22:38
kanzure_:)22:38
kanzure_How'd you find it?22:38
ybitlinked from http://esw.w3.org/topic/HCLS/Banff2007Demo22:38
kanzure_Thank you.22:42

ybityou're most welcome22:50
ybitbtw, the applications featured at simile.mit.edu are intriguing22:52
kanzure_which ones ?22:53
ybiti like longwell, rdfizers, solvent, and piggy bank22:57
ybitthe way they are all mixed together i suppose is what i find fascinating22:58
kanzure_eh?22:58
kanzure_I looked at them, doesn't look like much22:58
ybithttp://simile.mit.edu/wiki/Longwell_Demos22:58
ybitokay, this might be my sleep-deprived, delusional self speaking then22:59
kanzure_Heh, you know what this stuff is, right?23:00
ybityep23:00
kanzure_It's basically some fancy way of dealing with metadata from these different repositories. Plus or minus the Longwell banking folders.23:00
ybitdo i have to give explanations? :P23:00
kanzure_maybe I'm missing something.23:00
kanzure_yes23:00
kanzure_:)23:00
ybithehe23:00
ybityou just explained it23:00
ybitit would have taken me, oh, a few more sentences23:00
ybitspeaking of metadata, i need a smart filter which recognizes only interesting news :)23:02
ybitreading through hundreds of feeds per day takes up too much time23:02
ybitso how does this help you at all?23:03
kanzure_Hm?23:03
kanzure_how does what ?23:04
kanzure_the feed reading?23:04
kanzure_think of it as a constant reminder to how much the human task of reading sucks.23:04
ybitno no, the google maps/allen institute/sparql mashup23:05
kanzure_http://23andme.com/ is the second layer of data23:06
kanzure_and, uh, just imagine that the mashup includes the other Google Map feature of shared "personalized maps" or whatever - where users tag stuff, and then that's shareable and such23:06
ybitso you plan on whomever gets their genome read, to share the information?23:08
kanzure_wait, what?23:08
kanzure_if you don't want to you certainly don't have to23:08
ybiti dunno, i was hoping you could tell me 23:08
ybitme brain is working slow tonight23:08
kanzure_http://heybryan.org/humancortex.html23:08
kanzure_So. The idea was that since you have these SNP details from the users and then a map of the brain to some extent based off of gene expression, you suddenly have mutation information about the brain.23:09
kanzure_You suddenly can correlate different pieces of information -- like user behavior to genetic anomalies, and this is supposedly what the tagging would be used for. To associate BibTeX and other forms of data.23:10
ybitah23:10
ybitthanks for the explanation, that clarified a few things for me23:11
kanzure_And, simultaneously, the 3D brain explorer^W^W^W^W^W^Wconqueror can be correlated not only to the dbSNP data, but also perhaps realtime fMRI, C/T scans, PET, ... 23:11
ybitand i swear if you ask me tomorrow, it will still be fresh on my mind :)23:11
ybithmm23:12
kanzure_think of it as a computational scaffold for the exploration of the brain via neurofeedback mechanisms -- some of this thanks to the gene sequencing from SNP datasets and some thanks to the brain mapping projects.23:12
ybitthis would help several fields of neuroscience23:13
kanzure_they are already ahead23:13
kanzure_for instance, Markram's stuff23:13
ybiti wonder if they have such a map23:14
* kanzure_ isn't too happy about 3D mapping of gene expression data and would prefer to mimic Markram's "Blue Builder" app23:14
kanzure_ah, well, they might not have that map exactly, but23:14
kanzure_but they already have explored the pertinent information for the parts of the brain that we care about23:14
kanzure_there's no guarantee of any added functionality coming out of this really23:16
ybiti'm not finding a page mentioning "blue builder" software, are you referring the collection of resources they are using to simulate the brain?23:17
kanzure_nope,23:17
kanzure_before they simulate they 'grow' the brain in a simulator module of sorts23:18
kanzure_this is the initialization/instantiation app23:18
kanzure_where they have the neurons generated per various algorithms they've wrestled from tissue cultures over the past decade or some such23:18
kanzure_uhm23:29
kanzure_and besides, something like that should be mentioned on http://heybryan.org/mediawiki/index.php/Henry_Markram_imitation_project23:29
kanzure_in my notes somewhere.23:29
