Pabreetziobeep?09:22
@kanzureyes09:22
PabreetzioMy NO sensor beeps 5 times as it counts down to turning off. Loudly09:22
PabreetzioNO2 sensor rather09:23
PabreetzioI like that it beeps when concentrations are above 1ppm, but does it really need to beep so much just to turn the thing off?09:24
Pabreetzioso are we any closer to having an apt get for manufacturing, kanzure?09:25
@kanzureno nobody has read the spec09:26
thesnarkPabreetzio You have a sensor that measures...?09:46
thesnarkderp derp09:52
thesnarkI can read09:52

@kanzurei have met you sir and i can attest to the fact that you most certainly cannot, read09:53
@kanzure"Someone once said of Feynman that his lectures were beautifully clear, and that those who listened gained real insight and understanding. Until they had to use it. Then they realised that they didn't really understand it at all."10:00
thesnarkThat is exactly what those are like10:05
thesnarkAwesome to listen to10:05
thesnarkImpossible to apply10:05

thesnarkI'm starting a hackerspace16:12
thesnarkWe have like 11 members16:13
thesnarkI dunno though it's panning out pretty well16:13
thesnarkso far at least16:13
thesnarkWe don't run the planet yet16:13
@kanzurei like ybit's honesty about his hackerspace16:14
@kanzure13:49 < ybit> exert from the tlabs wiki page16:15
@kanzure13:49 < ybit> might be helpful16:15
@kanzure13:51 < bkero> tlabs?16:15

kanzuremore lame ai debate http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/sciencenotfiction/2011/06/25/towards-a-new-vision-of-the-singularity/21:17
* nsh just realised that "working in AI" is pretty analogous a profession to "curing cancer"21:19
nshie, stupid21:19
nshshup and work on a tractable problem21:19
kanzureCURIN' CANCZAAH21:19
kanzureDAH CANZAHH IS IN DA BRAYNS21:20
nshkanzure, you should watch this if you can be bothered http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b012b42j/Imagine_201112_The_Man_Who_Forgot_How_to_Read_and_Other_Stories/21:20
kanzurei do think there are tractable forms of cancer21:20
kanzurefor instance, benign tumors21:20
kanzurebenign inoperable tumors21:20
nshthat was my point kanz21:20
kanzureokay21:21
nshwhat i mean is that "curing cancer" is impossible as cancer is not a curable disease21:21
kanzurei'll look at it.21:21
nshand AI is not an achievable end, for similar reasons21:21
nshbut there are lots of computer learning problems we can make actual progress on21:21
kanzurei do think that there are tractable general intelligence programs, like in whole brain emulation21:22
kanzure'general intelligence' oops i used the bad word21:22
kanzurei mean 'tractable brain problems'21:22
nshyou can certainly make something at least as general as a human brain21:23
nshbut the romantic notion of 'intelligence' as a quality that computers can be imbued with is pretty poorly founded, in retrospect21:25
kanzurethe romanti cnotion of 'intelligence' as a quality that brains are imbued with is pretty poorly founded, in retrospect21:25
kanzure*romantic notion21:25
kanzurefuck21:25
* nsh smiles21:26
nshkanzure, my point is close to Hanson's in that article21:46
nsh"Extrapolation of this analogy (as well as Knappā€™s analysis of Watson on Jeopardy!) points towards a human intelligence superiority around abstraction, invention, creativity, and imagination and a computer intelligence superiority in calculation, data analysis, and information retrieval. Thus, I propose a new analogy for the two types of intelligence represented by humans and computers:21:50
nshthe right and left hemispheres of the human brain."21:50

AlonzoTGOkay, that was a somewhat enlightening exchange, apparently in some out of band communication channel, decisions have been made to look only at "tractable problems"...22:39
AlonzoTGBut I still don't understand the broader vision or see any interesting-to-me utility in the issues that are discussed here.22:40
kanzurensh and i only talk with each other in here23:00
kanzurewhat is your current understanding of the broader vision23:01
