el_kevinohello, your mention of nootropics piqued my interest11:24
foucistkanzure: i also name dropped the chan in #lesswrong, lets hope for some suckers from there11:25
kanzurei hate lesswrong11:25
kanzurefuck you for doing that11:25
foucistoops11:25
foucist:P11:25
foucistkanzure: seriously? how come11:25
foucisti don't read the site myself11:25
foucistjust idle in the chan11:25
kanzureit's a long story and i don't care to tell it11:26
foucistok11:26
kanzuresiai is made up of jerks and i don't really enjoy being so closely related to their social networks11:26
foucistah i see11:26

kanzurethere's like one redeeming person in the entire organization :p11:26
foucistheh, i'm not too involved in all that anyways, just predominantly an ircer11:26
el_kevinoany docs/sites for nootropics that you guys use?11:27
foucistkanzure: so whatcha working on? you got a startup going?11:27
kanzureel_kevino: imminst.org i guess..11:27
kanzureel_kevino: do you do mobile dev?11:27
el_kevinoi do11:28
kanzurefoucist: today i'm working on a presentation for google io (tomorrow)11:28
kanzurei'm presenting on "how to make an android app in 30min"11:28
kanzurefeaturing live coding by yours truly..11:28
foucistcool11:28
kanzureone of my projects is http://hoppersdk.com/ for the monies11:28
foucistwill you capture the screen/audio while doing that11:29
foucistso that you can upload it later11:29
kanzureeventually11:29
kanzureoh you mean google io? yes absolutely11:29
kanzurehopper: eventually, that feature is coming but it's not a priority11:29
el_kevinonice - i was unable to get an IO ticket11:30
kanzureme either11:30
kanzureso i figured speaking would be a good way to get in11:30
kanzurebut it's the austin event, not the main io event11:30
el_kevinoah11:30
kanzurestill :)11:30

el_kevinokanzure: do you ask everyone that?  or are we in other shared channels?11:30
kanzureel_kevino: we are in a shitload of shared channels11:30
el_kevinoare you me?11:30
kanzurewhat?11:31
kanzurei am very confused so i might be11:31
el_kevinobad joke :)11:31
kanzureanyway, so yeah- diybio stuff11:31
kanzurethe practical reality is that the diybio projects are somewhat pathetic11:32
kanzurebut i do think there's something possible within the microfluidics space, and CAD/lab equipment areas11:32
foucistwell cost is always an issue11:32
kanzurenot from a business perspective, but from a practical perspective11:32
foucisthacker spaces probably help though11:32
kanzurenot really.. not many hackerspaces are sympathetic11:32
foucistright11:32
kanzurethere's genspace.org, but it's all corporate11:32
foucistwould need diybiospaces i guess11:33
kanzurebiocurious.org had a nice shot at it but joe selected the wrong board of directors and it's killed itself already11:33
foucistkanzure: what do you mean within microfluidics CAD/lab equip?11:33
kanzure(plus joe is moving to chile so ..)11:33
kanzurefoucist: well, microfluidic lab-on-a-chip-devices are relatively easy to make11:33
foucistis he gonna set up anything in chile?11:33
kanzureyeah he got invited to startupchile.org, got some money, will probably setup a lab11:34
foucistcool11:34
foucistis he chilean?11:34
kanzureno11:34
foucisti wouldn't mind going to chile11:34
kanzurestartupchile.org only accepts people who aren't from chile11:34
foucisti'm heading to thailand currently11:34
foucistcool11:34
foucisthave 1 backpack + laptop, will travel!11:34
kanzurethe landing page for http://tripmedi.com/ is hilarious11:37
kanzure"Medical tourism you can trust"11:37
kanzureafter reading that, i will never trust tripmedi.com. ever.11:37
foucistheh11:37
foucisti came across it from some startup bus thing11:37
foucistthey'er just doing pitches at this point11:37
foucistand just a placeholder11:37

kanzurediyhpl.us/~bryan/ is nothing in particular16:49
kanzurehttp://heybryan.org/ is supposed to be my home page but i don't know what to do with it16:49
eudoxiafix them links :)16:50
kanzurefenn: probably from meetlog.txt..16:50
kanzurefoucist: anyway, designfiles.org/dokuwiki/skdb can be accessed here: http://gnusha.org/skdb/16:50
kanzuredesignfiles.org was confiscated either by the university of texas or a professor16:51
QuantumGHere's a 10 minute podcast of me on the @SpaceShow today. We discussed seasteading and private space stations. http://bit.ly/khvPwd (mp3)16:54
kanzureoh weird, i never linked to http://gnusha.org/skdb/package_spec.html from gnusha.org/skdb/16:54
kanzureQuantumG: cool :)16:54
kanzureQuantumG: btw, did you hear eric hunting on TSS the other day by any chance?16:54
QuantumGyes.16:55
QuantumGOne way they could make money is by recording Eric's voice and selling it as a sleeping aid.16:55
kanzurei didn't listen in16:56
kanzure<-- is glad that his voice doesn't put people to sleep16:56
kanzurefenn: how do i fix my linksprawl :(16:57
QuantumGdo you know Chad Lupkes?16:59
kanzureuh.. sort of? internet acquaintance17:01
QuantumGhe had a long rant at Dr Livingston via email.. Dave gave it back to him 3x.17:01
foucistkanzure: so, looking at ABI 377 or what?17:07
foucist310 = low throughput ?17:07
kanzurewhatever i can get my hands on i guess17:09
kanzurei saw this $100 megabace 1000 so i think i'll buy that even if it's b0rked17:10
kanzurei'd like to get a capillary machine, instead of a manual gel loaded system17:10
foucistcool, sounds like a good deal17:11
kanzurewell then there's >$1k reagent costs17:11
foucistoh17:11
foucistany idea how broken it is17:11
foucistdoes it need a new lazer17:11
foucistlaser*17:11
foucistbtw, http://heybryan.org/mediawiki/index.php/Sustained_attention  doesn't work :P  guess you killed your wiki17:12
kanzureno clue how bad of shape it's in..17:12
kanzurerandom ebay auctions, etc.17:12
kanzure[[Sustained_attention]] is accessible on web.archive.org, but i have been doing some hdd recovery lately so i might go fetch /mediawiki17:12
kanzure/mediawiki hasn't worked since 200817:13
foucistyeah i figured17:13
kanzure(because i forgot to transfer the mysql db over to a new machine)17:13
kanzurei have a lot of sprawling links out there :/17:13
kanzurediyhpl.us, heybryan.org, designfiles.org, gnusha.org, designfiles.no-ip.org or something, uh..17:14
foucistkanzure: who started humanityplus?17:15
kanzureum, well17:16
kanzurenick bostrom and a few others in 1998 started world transhumanist association (wta) for ethical masturbation17:16
eudoxiahahaha17:16
kanzurein 2008 they "rebranded" but only a few weeks ago sent in the documentation to be called 'humanityplus'17:16
kanzurethere's a long history in this chan of people telling me not to bother with them17:17
kanzureand i agreed with them, but didn't listen and worked with humanity+ for an extended period of time17:17
kanzureanyway, i really regret it and should listen to my friends more often.17:17
foucisthow come?17:17
foucistthe gada prize sounds interesting17:17
kanzureyeah, so i organized the transfer of the gada prize from foresight institute, wrote all the legal documentation, etc.17:18
kanzurebut that's more like "well we need a 501c3 to put this prize at, how about this one" "ok sure"17:18
foucistwhy do the transfer at all then?17:19
QuantumGtranshumanism needs more marketing and kanzure is the guy to do it.17:19
kanzureany transhumanist should immediately recognize that humanityplus is just useless17:19
kanzurehahaha marketing oh boy17:19
kanzurethat's all humanityplus does17:19
kanzurefoucist: well, foresight didn't want it apparently17:20
foucistah17:20
kanzureand i figured "better me than someone else" :p17:20

foucistyeah17:20
foucisthow close is reprap to the gadaprize?17:21
-!- ybit [~ybit@unaffiliated/ybit] has joined ##hplusroadmap17:21
QuantumGdear foresight institute, still waiting for molecular manufacturing.. any time. kthxbye.17:21
ybitugh17:21
ybittired of joining #hplusroadmap without a slap to the face17:21
QuantumGwithout?17:22
kanzurefoucist: there's about 10 or 15 teams that are pretty close17:22
ybitQuantumG: yeah, #hplusroadmap, not ##hplusroadmap17:22
kanzurefoucist: i think someone probably has something that could win, but they are hesitant to release17:22
QuantumGoh, right17:22
kanzurei had to come up with some fancy way to say "you can realize your reprap/gadaprize work as open source 'but non-derivative for the purpose of the gada prize'" since otherwise people feel they will lose a lot of money17:22
ybitkanzure: did you ever find AP1001-1009 for STEP?17:22
ybitwithout paying ~$20017:23
kanzureybit: yeah i have all of that now17:23
ybityay!17:23
* ybit wants17:23
kanzureAP203 and AP214 are the parts that matter17:23
ybityar17:23
kanzureum... gee i wonder if i put that online or not17:23
QuantumGeveryone I know with a reprap has a different solution to at least one of the systems.. and none of them seem to contribute back their solutions.17:23
kanzureQuantumG: there's this huge thread on reprap-dev right now about versioning reprap upstream17:24
kanzureQuantumG: "NO VERSIONING IS THE DEVIL, LALALALALALA"17:24
kanzureand we thought we could get them to use git? holy shit17:24
kanzureybit: i don't have time to go find those files, but i do have them.. how about after google tomorrow?17:24
QuantumGgreat thing about open source software.. contributing your fixes upstream *actually help you eventually*17:24
ybitdurka, i meant AM, not AP17:25
QuantumGor at least most people think that way17:25
kanzurewell the problem is that upstream in the reprap project isn't er.. normal17:25
ybitkanzure: heh, you got it17:25
kanzurei mean.. it's not like a software project where the maintainers understand how to run a good open source project17:25
QuantumGstep 1) build your own reprap, 2) fix something random, 3) contribute your changes upstream so that, 4) sometime in the future you make another reprap and it includes your fixes??17:26
QuantumGmost people who do step 1 are never going to do step 4, so they don't bother doing step 317:26
QuantumGif the reprap community ever get to the point where you can download the instructions for machine 4.42 and feed it into machine 4.41 and out pops the new machine, then there will be a point to contributing back.17:29
* kanzure is looking at: http://www.race-database.com/typeracer/profile?username=kanzure17:29
QuantumGit'll be the same reason why people contribute back to software... maintaining a personal patch set is a pain in the ass.17:29
kanzureybit: why do you want step stuff17:30
kanzureQuantumG: i dunno it seems to be the same pain-in-the-ass-level as normal reprap17:30
QuantumGyes, well, contributing back needs to be easier than maintain a person patch set.17:31
ybitkanzure: i don't know really. maybe i'm thinking somewhere down the road i might do something with it17:31
ybit162 wpm o.O17:33
ybitin alabama, we like it slow17:33
ybitisn't that right kats17:33

fennJayDugger: mini-mendel18:37
kanzure"I am one of the original members of this movement" fuck this18:37
jrayhawkmediafire is just depressing. we should give her some http namespace on your vserver.18:38
kanzurethat's fine18:38
JayDuggerWhat's lepht's IRL name?18:38
fennwhy do you want to know?18:39
kanzurefenn: other than that deviation i quoted, it looks fine to me18:39
kanzurei gave it the 30sec reading though18:39
fenni think it's funny that natasha is considered an authority on transhumanism18:40
kanzureshe screams and shouts when she finds out that someone neglected her somewhere18:41
JayDuggerSo that I can save the file as <Author's Surname>, <Author's First Name> - <Title> - (<Year>)18:41
fennhum, after seeing the facial tattoos i guess it doesn't matter18:42
fennalicia mason18:42
JayDuggerThanks.18:43
kanzurehow'd you find that18:43
kanzurei feel so destroyed18:43
kanzuremy google-fu.. it has failed me18:43

kanzurefenn: i'm not sure that inference is correct18:47
kanzureit sounds like this was an essay for a class18:47
kanzurejrayhawk: how do i do that diplomatically18:48
jrayhawkDo which?18:49
kanzurethe vserver offer18:49
kanzureyou know, without being passive aggressive18:50
jrayhawkOh. "Hi, I like facilitating transhumanists and I'm noticing you currently have mediocre hosting; let me know if you want a somewhat more permanent place to host your files at one or more of diyhpl.us, gnusha.org, WhateverOtherMillionDomainsBryanOwns.com"18:52
kanzurewhy wouldn't lepht just use biohack.me?18:54
jrayhawkAnd I can help get vsftp or webdav or sftp or git or Ikiwiki access sorted out.18:54
jrayhawkbeats me; i can help make whatever you want happen18:55
jrayhawkwebdav is tragicly a bit hit-or-miss in terms of OS support, i suppose18:56
kanzurehow should i reply to this?18:58
kanzurehttp://groups.google.com/group/diybio/msg/0bdf7ff01c79198a18:58
jrayhawk"no"?18:58
kanzurethat was my first idea18:59
kanzurehe's making a public stink about this18:59
jrayhawkIf he is terrified of having his email address exposed, why the fuck is he posting on public mailing lists18:59
kanzurewhich is fine.. but isn't this something (the entire thread, even) he should have brought up to me privately?18:59
jrayhawkI got one of those emails, too. Kinda neat how well they're targetting their spam, but it still scored 4.0 on default spamassassin settings.19:01
kanzurethe spam contents looked pretty vague to me19:01
kanzureor do you mean spamming my social network?19:01
jrayhawkYeah, it's not topicly targetted, but even referencing real connections is better than I'm used to seeing.19:02
kanzuresome people have been mad at me in the past and start the spam faucet on me (i guess signing me up for lots of crap)19:03
kanzurebut usually gmail eats through the spam in a few days of adjustment19:03
jrayhawkThe SIAI should be warning russian mobsters about the existential risks of developing spammer AIs19:04
jrayhawka viagra bot gives a whole new meaning to 'hard AI takeoff19:04
jrayhawk+'19:04
kanzureis it better for me to reply "no" or to just not reply?19:05
JayDuggerIgnore his request, unless you value him as a contact. Then consider whether he deserves an explanation.19:05
kanzurehahaha "No. You can submit a patch if you want."19:06
jrayhawkI suppose 'no' is a deliberate troll, and that either explaining the morality of information or saying nothing would probably result in everyone being happier in the long run19:06
kanzureyeah i don't value this guy- he's incredibly hostile and self-aggrandizing but every time he boasts about his software he never has anything to show for it.19:06
JayDuggerThen ignore his request.19:06
kanzurejrayhawk: what about the "submit a patch" response?19:06
kanzurei wouldn't apply the patch though.. heh19:07
jrayhawkI guess that's an okay response. Link him to a git:// URL :)19:07
jrayhawkoh19:07
jrayhawkwell nevermind then19:07
kanzurei wonder if spambots will ever start downloading random git repos19:08
kanzurei guess that's an ok strategy to seed a random git hosting service19:09
jrayhawkohloh aggregates that sort of thing19:09
jrayhawkwhat would the world look like if a captcha-solving AI conquered it19:11
kanzurestats/authors right?19:11
kanzurethere's lots of human services that break captchas for you in <15sec.. does this count19:11
jrayhawkSomething like that. I haven't really looked into it.19:11
kanzurefenn: john griessen has invited you to his crawfish boil on the 20th19:17
ybitwhat spammer quoted you as a source kanzure?19:18
jrayhawkgive me your email address and I can resend it to you.19:19
ybitjrayhawk: me?19:21
jrayhawkYeah.19:21
ybitheathmatlock@gmail.com19:21
jrayhawkDone.19:21
ybitheh19:21
jrayhawkNaturally, of course, it might wind up in a spam filter on your mailhost.19:22
ybithad to look in the spam folder19:22
jrayhawkMessage-ID: 1151883884.92501304963691001.JavaMail.root@ims1.itimes.com19:22
jrayhawkMaybe this is clever targeting. Anyone associated with the transhumanism movement has a high probability of being accurately classed as a lonely nerd.19:23
jrayhawkwell, clever by spammer standards.19:24
ybitand the age is about right too :)19:24
kanzurejrayhawk: it was the same text as quoted in that diybio thread, right?19:25
ybitthis linda giles girl seems hawt19:25
ybiti'm doing it!!1119:26
* ybit sends her my contact list19:26
jrayhawkYeah.19:26
kanzuremaybe i'm just really bad at reading spam19:26
* ybit fails at third-person narrating19:27
kanzurewho was the guy who spent his entire ted.com talk reciting spam from memory?19:27
ybital gore?19:30
ybiti dunno, there's really been too much spam to pick just one19:31
kanzureAlthough you might be apprehensive about my email as we have never met before.19:33
kanzureI am Mr. Kabiru Zongo,a Banker, and Head of Operations with (AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK BURKINA FASO)in West Africa, there is the sum of $9.500,000.00 currently in my branch,19:34
kanzurethere were no beneficiary stated concerning these funds which means no one would ever come to claim it.19:34
kanzureThat is why I ask that we work together, I will be pleased to work with you as trusted person and see that the fund is transferred out of my Bank into another Bank Account,19:34
kanzureOnce the funds have been transferred to your nominated Bank account we shall then share it in the ratio of 60% for me, 40% for you.19:34
kanzure"If you agree to my business proposal. further details of the transfer will be forwarded to you as soon as i receive your return mail, sending the below information"19:34
kanzureRegards, Mr.Kabiru Zongo.19:34
kanzurethis is pretty standard ybit19:34
QuantumGdo you know how the scammer makes money from that?19:35
kanzureit's a 419 scam19:35
kanzurehttp://www.fbi.gov/scams-safety/fraud/fraud#41919:35
QuantumGobviously I know.. you providing a link to someone else who knows doesn't tell me that you know.. it merely implies you might.19:36
kanzurehuh i never knew this part:19:37
kanzure" The Nigerian government is not sympathetic to victims of these schemes, since the victim actually conspires to remove funds from Nigeria in a manner that is contrary to Nigerian law."19:37
kanzure"The schemes themselves violate section 419 of the Nigerian criminal code, hence the label “419 fraud.”"19:37
kanzureQuantumG: true. but isn't it obvious if you're giving away ALL OF YOUR BANKING CREDENTIALS?19:37
kanzurebtw banking in the U.S. is broken19:37
QuantumGno.. most people think 1) their credentials can only be used to deposit funds, so what's the harm and 2) if you can transfer money out of your account then it must have cleared already.19:38
QuantumG2 is what makes the scam work and the banks should fucking fix that already.19:39
jrayhawkThe entire 'pull' model is broken and should either be replaced with a 'push' model or a three way handshake model.19:40
fenni thought the scams always came out of nigeria because it wasn't illegal there19:44
ybitkanzure: that's not the email i received19:45

kanzureman it's like he has a spam list23:09
flamoti'm going to write an article for phrack or 2600 on how i got it to crack captchas, once i get it to crack captchas23:10
flamotas a guide to evolving it to solve other problems...23:10
flamotkanzure it's a thinking system the size of Firefox23:10
flamotit's a hard tool i put on the table milliseconds before evolution and optimization will be export-controlled as munitions like crypto23:10
flamotwhich will happen a lot sooner now with that software out there23:11
flamotits real23:11
flamoti mean i don't think of it as spam23:11
flamotit feels really important to me well23:11
kanzurei believe you23:11
flamoti can't think of another, existing piece of software that could result in a thinking system... it has emergent sex, emergent multicellularism...23:12

-!- mode/##hplusroadmap [+o kanzure] by ChanServ23:14
flamoti never wrote a neural net before, it's really fast. if 3.3M neurons isn't enough to crack captchas i don't know what would be, and the only way i can think of to evolve a system that size is cellularly. the only thing i see possibly standing between it producing intelligence is, the limited inter-cell communication, 4 binary channels per face23:14
flamotmight not be enough to distribute 254 neurons per cell effectively23:14

flamoti have a broken leg23:15
