CluckjPhilosophies not grounded in reality, kanzure?06:41
CluckjWhich talk? This one?06:42
Utopiah(the whole morning will be like that)06:42
CluckjIt's interesting that a lot of the discussion shows some allergy to ethics :)06:42
CluckjOr philosophy...06:43
CluckjNow I'm interested in talking about it, hehe06:44
UtopiahIMHO it's because good philosophy is hard to do thus rare, babbling is way more common06:44
CluckjAh06:44
SelarAre they on break now?06:51
Utopiahyes06:52
SelarAh06:52
Utopiahhttp://hplussummit.com/schedule.html06:52
* Selar nods06:53
SelarThank yo06:53
Selaru06:53
SelarAre Aubrey DeGrey's slides anywhere?06:56
kanzureSelar: yes, but also a transcript http://designfiles.org/~bryan/hplus-summit-2010/d2s1-aubrey-de-grey.html06:57
* Selar nods ;)06:57
SelarYour transcript was the first thing I read :)06:57
kanzureCluckj: i think this tweet summarizes my views succintly: " wlgriffiths06:57
kanzure  06:57
kanzure#hplus "identity" is an ill-formed concept. That was "mooted" by stoned mystics thousands of years ago. "06:57
kanzurealso the cliams of the existence of consciousness disturb me06:58
kanzure*claims06:58
QuantumGmicrotubuals, must be06:59
CluckjWe should talk about that later kanzure06:59
kanzurehow about now.. it's just james hughes going on, right?07:05
CluckjI'm interested in the ethical discussion, or lack thereof, because one of the core ideas from my discipline is that politics become embodied in artifacts that people create07:05
kanzureuh oh07:05
CluckjHehe, I kinda want to see this one though07:05
kanzureno, you don't *jedi mind trick*07:05
CluckjI'm not an ethicist by any means, but I know what they're talking about07:06
CluckjHahaha07:06
CluckjHave you seen his stuff before?07:06
kanzurejames and i have spent many email exchanges07:07
kanzurei have decided he's a hopeless lost cause07:07
kanzureso i'm not spending any more time on it07:07
CluckjHehehe07:07
kanzure(btw, him taking over WTA to advertize for his book, was not cool)07:07
Cluckj?07:08
kanzure"cyborg democracy"? yeah..07:08
CluckjSounds neat ;)07:09
kanzurehave you uh, read it?07:09
CluckjNo, but the title is catchy as f*ck07:09
Cluckjheh, yeah I see what you mean about him07:10
CluckjI think I've heard this stuff before07:10
CluckjHaha, goatfuckin'07:10
kanzureso far this talk isn't his usual spiell07:11
CluckjMaybe it's good you stayed :o07:11
kanzureyour ethical babble doesn't work on my mind, only money07:11
kanzure(well, money doesn't work on me either)07:12
CluckjThe pursuit of bling is an ethical system in itself07:12
CluckjMy view of ethics is pretty pragmatic, not just babble07:14
kanzurei seriously doubt he's "buddhist". based on his former ideas..07:15
CluckjEthics is the way we do things, and the ways in which we decide to do them07:15
CluckjMaybe he's a recent convert07:15
kanzurehmm07:15
kanzureooh @ "BM3h-based sensors measure dopamine release in cell culture."07:16
CluckjI'm unsure how much "traditional philosophy" will help us do things...07:16
kanzure"Directed evolution of a magnetic resonance imaging contrast agent for noninvasive imaging of dopamine"07:16
CluckjWe need new ethics and new discussions about it07:16
CluckjCool07:17
CluckjMeasure the pleasure...07:17
kanzurei wish i could go back in time and kill whoever started the dopamine=pleasure meme07:18
CluckjI think this guy presented at my discipline's conference07:18
CluckjI've definitely seen this before07:18
CluckjHahahah07:18
kanzuredopamine is pervasive throughout the nervous system and is not solely related to pleasure07:18
CluckjIt's especially present in gut neurons07:19

CluckjThis talk is a pretty good one...07:26
kanzurethe only guy who raised his hand when he asked "is anyone here a veteran" was Mark Hatch (CEO, TechShop)07:27
wrldpc2How was Wolfram?07:27
kanzurei avoided his talk07:27
kanzureso i don't know :)07:27
wrldpc2heh07:27

wrldpc2tight07:30
wrldpc2hottie on the mic07:31

UtopiahI wish Llyod had had Wolfram's time :/07:32
wrldpc2is she just pontificating or wut07:32
wrldpc2i really could give a shit about the philosophical implications of the singularity.07:33

wrldpc2SHE IS QUITE SEXEH.07:40
CluckjI'm going to go talk to her, I'm glad she's talking about this stuff here07:41
CluckjThis is a talk I could skip :)07:43
kanzureheather was actually talking about "brand development"07:44
kanzureit's hard to spot, but her talk was secretly about brands and commercial marketing07:44
kanzurehm at congential analgesia07:44
CluckjThat's definitely a part of it07:45
Cluckj"Brand" is a similar concept to "identity"07:45
CluckjExcept it's YOUR "brand"07:45
kanzureplease stop07:45
kanzurei don't want to spam this channel with this bullshit07:46

alidigitalisi'm trying to get together a better understanding of what needs to be done to then make a budget07:59
kanzurealidigitalis: i don't understand your front page on that link either07:59

kanzure"Transgenic Stilbene-carboxylate synthase-like enzyme (TSCSL)" (see Fellermeier 1998)08:06
kanzurealidigitalis: was that it?08:06
alidigitalisyou're on it man 08:06
alidigitalisthank you for getting me in line ;)08:07
alidigitalisthe reason it's interesting is that THC is biologically reactive against mosquito larvae and many other nasty critters in ppm with no known ld-50 in higher organisms08:09
alidigitalisso it's an environmentally friendly detergent + anti-malarial 08:10
alidigitalisand you would need to consume 10+ gallons of fluid to even feel the effects of the THC (by which time water poisoning might be a more serious concern)08:10
alidigitalisanyhow, i'm definitely behind the times in biotech and am trying to come up with a plan of attack and a budget 08:11
alidigitalisi'm waiting to get my forum account on diybio.org to start a thread as I imagine the reply is much more educated and complex than the question08:13
alidigitalisalso my day job is webdev and i see the heybryan.com wiki is down, let me know if anyone needs a hand there, i've done several mediawiki installs and used a lot of their plugins too over the years08:15

kanzurenoah bushnell is hilarious08:29
CluckjThis presenter has cool pedagogy08:29
Utopiahmeh, he talks 80% about him then skip the content, where is the pedagogy there?08:29
CluckjI need to put something like that in my presentations08:30
kanzureUtopiah: it was an hour long talk reduced to 10min08:30
kanzurethis guy has more credentials than about any one else08:30
UtopiahI heard, that's why it's even more important to know what you are going to skip08:30
kanzureanyway, it was hilarious08:30
CluckjThere was content in the slides he skipped08:30
kanzurelots of content08:30
CluckjNotice that some of the content that he skipped was pictures and short phrases, stuff that you could read and see while he was skipping through it08:31
CluckjYeah, he knew what he could skip for sure :)08:32
CluckjSo what he did was structure his presentation in a way that let him skip things, but let people pick up on what he was skipping08:34
CluckjIt's pretty cool, I loved that08:34
CluckjI could be wrong about it though, I'll have to ask him08:38

CluckjIt's well deserved12:27
AJollyLifeAlystair: presentation remotes are very useful. so is presentation mode...or memorizing speeches12:27
GPenguinhands off of my remote control!12:27
GPenguini am of peaceful nature, but if you touch this while i am DJ'ing i go mad :P12:28
AlystairAJollyLife: I like having complete control because in smaller groups people might want to ask pertient questions mid-presentation12:28
GPenguinyeah, me too Alystair 12:29
GPenguinbut on the other side, giving control to somebody you trust can be a relief12:29
AJollyLifeAlystair: I add in extra slides for questions that I anticipate12:29
fennsomeone make him talk faster!12:30
CluckjI think his pace is fine :P12:30
AlystairAJollyLife: would be funny if you did it in a similar way QI (a british comedy series) does for "gotcha" answers12:30
CluckjPeople are paying attention12:30
AJollyLifehis speech is better organized than most12:31
CluckjYup12:31
AJollyLifealso, it helps when you dont put up everything you are saying on the slides :)12:31

CluckjI got a lot out of it13:32
ybitoh?13:32
CluckjI'm an anthropologist :)13:32
CluckjI met a lot of people and talked about a lot of things, almost all of which were related to science, ethics, or transhumanism13:34
CluckjIt was a phenomenal networking event13:34
CluckjI saw a lot more discussions and waving/smiling between people today13:35
AJollyLifeyeah, it was great, i love the making friends/networking aspects13:35

ybitwe charge $15/month here13:45
ybitcost of living is much lower too13:45
CluckjThat's not too bad13:46
CluckjDoes that money go to rent/utilities?13:46
ybityeah, everyone can afford it.. right now it goes directly to projects we want to work on13:46
drazakI think they'll be ok with me being a poor student13:46
CluckjEr, if I may ask...13:46
ybitCluckj: oh it's fine, we start paying $100/month rent later this year13:47

fennffs it's impossible to get a quote on how much to expect for an aluminum honeycomb panel or aluminum composite panel19:59
thuranyone know where to find image recognition implementations of Neuroph (neuroph.sourceforge.net) to batch process a bunch of pdfs?20:06
thurjust throwing that out there20:06
genehackerwhat do they use aluminum honeycomb for?20:13
genehackeraircraft parts right?20:13
fenni'm building a life support pod20:14
fennapparently it's used for clean room walls and various businessy things like as a substrate for printing signs and light weight curtain walls20:14
fennthur you just mean OCR? i dont see what's special about neuroph20:15
thuri'm looking for image recognition20:15
thuri have a bunch of pdfs20:16
fennwhat are you trying to recognize?20:16
thurand i want to take out a piece of text (i.e. image) and then try to find that image (or something close to it) in a larger collection of pdfs20:16
thurbryan turned me on to artificial neural networks20:16
thurand i've been messing with it since then but kind of having a block now20:17
fennthere are a lot of algorithms that work, not only neural nets20:17
thurok20:17
thuri have a collection of scanned contracts20:17
thurit's just text really20:17
genehackerwhy do they use it in clean room walls?20:17
genehackerwhat sort of life support pod?20:17
genehackeroh20:17
fenngenehacker: it contains no dust20:17
genehackerinteresting20:17
fennfor my experimental warehouse lifestyle20:17
genehackerI was thinking more about the pressure capabilities of it20:18
fennno, mostly for thermal and sound insulation20:18
thuri'm really just looking for the most accurate OCR or image recognition software that can batch process 20:18
fennhoneycomb doesn't provide very good thermal insulation, but aluminum composite panel may not be strong enough without external support over a 4x8 panel20:18
fennso i was thinking 3 aluminum composite panel walls and a honeycomb floor with a slab of EPS foam20:19
fennthur: if you want open source check out tesseract/ocropus, but i could never get it to work, configuration is a nightmare20:20
thuri'm messing with it now20:20
thurbut yes20:20
thuragreed20:20
fennbkero has done some stuff with it20:20
fennif you figure it out, please write up a step by step 'how to ocr pdfs with ocropus' and post it on the web20:21
thurhahaha20:21
thurthat's exactly what i am looking for now!20:21
thurwill do fenn20:21
genehackerwhy do you want to scan in pdf papers?20:22
fennso you dont have a bunch of useless crap laying around20:22
fennisn't it obvious?20:22
thurno image matching recommendations?  it seems like a neural network would work if i could just get a program that allowed batch processing20:22
thurtrue20:22
thuractually i work for a company that scans all its signed contracts20:22
fenni guess i dont really understand what you're trying to do.. something like djvu that just says 'this section over here looks like this other section'?20:22
thurand never kept the easily searchable Word documents20:22
thuryes exactly20:23
thurshould i give djvu a shot?20:23
fennyou won't be able to search over that though20:23
thurah20:23
fenndjvu actually stores some ocr-like metadata20:23
fennso you can search it20:23
thuryaeh i've been able to OCR all the 600+ contracts using adobe acrobat pro20:23
fennbut if you do copy/paste sometimes you'll get weird crap20:23
thurbut it's not as accurate as i need because of varying quality20:24
thurin the scans20:24
fenni dont think anybody's made a 100% accurate OCR implementation20:24
thuryeah20:25
fenncurrently google is farming out their low-confidence words to recaptcha20:25
thurfigures20:25
thurwish i could do the same20:25
fennyou can, just set up a porn site and make people solve captchas20:25
fennor the boring way (amazon turk)20:26
thuri like the first idea20:26
fennyeah i got the idea from an evil AI that was pretending to be a hottie20:26
fennsth like that20:26
thurso no recommendations on just straight image matching?20:26
thurhahaha20:26
thurit's a great idea though20:27
thuryou should just take credit for it20:27
genehackeroh I see real papers20:27
fenni'm not a super expert at image recognition, i need to learn more about it. might want to try #machinelearning20:28
thuryeah unfortunately20:28
fennmy current obsession is how to leverage video ASIC to find motion/optic flow and derive 3d coordinates from that20:31
fennmodern video compression like x264 does useful stuff to the data20:31
genehackersounds neat20:33
genehackermuch better than the current approach used in machine vision20:33
genehackerwhich uses lasers or lidar20:33
fennblegh i actually have to learn all this crap20:34
* fenn hides from reality20:34
fennstarting at omnivision tomorrow20:34
fenn9 am, means i have to be up by 6:3020:36
fennnooooo20:36
fenndamn there's gotta be a better way to do this20:36
fennsweet, bike + train + light rail is faster, cheaper, and most importantly has no buses20:42
fennit's unfortunate google doesn't know how to do bike and public transit in the same trip20:42
thuryou gotta teach em fenn20:44
