JayDuggerYeah, good rule of thumb. Crazy's entertainment value fast fades.07:29

kanzure"Re-enable broken Vitamin-C synthesis genes"08:18
kanzurewhich ones were those08:18
JayDuggerThe ones that allow me to buy ascorbic acid by the pound from Amazon, dirt cheap?08:19
kanzurewhat's broken specifically? something that's supposed to produce ascorbic acid that doesn't?08:20
JayDuggerIIRC, most mammals synthesize vitamin C. Humans and, I think, guinea pigs lack the ability.08:21
JayDuggerAgain, IIRC, every other primate can do it but us.08:22
JayDuggerPerhaps it provides some horrible drawback over time.08:22

eudoxiaoh hello friens i heard somebody mentioned something tangentially related to me16:46
delinquentmeeudoxia, pleasegodno blog?16:56
delinquentmeskr5e, said he found ##hplus by your blog16:57
delinquentmeeudoxia, you should get involved then16:57
skr5eword gets around fast :|16:57
eudoxiai just stalk the logs a bunch16:58
skr5ewell yes, I had pretty much thought transhumanism was dead16:59
delinquentmeskr5e, no very much alive16:59
delinquentmethey're just in labs16:59
delinquentmeyou know.. DOING the grunt work16:59
delinquentmewhere i kinda just play a transhumanist16:59
skr5eapparently so.. well it was a very interesting blog post nonetheless16:59
skr5ecrazy what happened to anissimov, did you speak with him personally?17:00
eudoxiauh not really, except i replied to one of his comments17:00
eudoxiai think he got mad at that picture of Wendy Wright17:00
skr5elol17:00
eudoxiayeah well he can go deal with it17:01
eudoxiaand transhumanistwiki still has malware dammit17:01
kanzureanissimov is more of a.. "public relations" person at this point17:04
skr5edoesn't seem to be doing too great a job at public relations if he's got Judeo-Christians paid to blog about him17:05
skr5ei do remember watching him in a few old documentaries though17:05
kanzurethe current incumbent transhumanist orgs are pretty lousy though yes17:06
kanzurehaving worked with one i can honestly say they are beyond lousy17:06
delinquentmewhy are you worried about what the deists do?17:06
delinquentmethey're ready to die17:06
delinquentmei think the term is "suicidal" so ooo17:06
delinquentmeits like a conversation with a 5 year old17:06
skr5edeists? That's dissappointing17:07

klafkaanissimov?17:08
skr5ekansure, which one did you work with?17:09
kanzureskr5e: humanity+ and singularity institute17:10
kanzurei meant humanity\2b17:11
kanzureer17:11
kanzurehumanity\x2b17:11
skr5ehm, in what way would you say they're lousy?17:13
skr5eand is there any transhumanist org out there with some legitimacy or do they all suck just as bad?17:15
delinquentmeeudoxia, what are you good at? whats your 'day job"17:15
delinquentmeskr5e, its like any earth shattering thing17:16
delinquentmeyou bring it to light people will laugh, gnash teeth, get mad etc17:16
delinquentmetill one day17:16
delinquentmeits undeniable17:16
delinquentmei guess what im saying is there are plenty of people who function as transhumanists but dont sport the tag17:17
delinquentmeas being labeled some kind of heretic17:17
skr5eIn a way I could sort of understand17:17
delinquentmeskr5e, umm david sinclair17:18
delinquentmehes got tenure at harvard and thus he speaks his mind on the topic17:18
klafkathe optogeneticist is a 'transhumanist'17:19
kanzuredelinquentme: who cares about gnashing teeth?17:19
kanzureskr5e: they are dysfunctional and not technologists17:19
-!- augur [~augur@c-68-49-43-223.hsd1.md.comcast.net] has joined ##hplusroadmap17:19
klafkaor idk are you referring to a specific subset of people or just in general people interested in transhumanism/singularity/whatever17:19
delinquentmekanzure, :D many arent as ... brash might have a bad connotation?17:19
delinquentmebut first term which comes to mind :D17:19
skr5eso is that the reason we're all cooped up on IRC, out of sight from most of the internet?17:22
kanzurelet me guess.. you prefer forums17:23
skr5esure, I'm not complaining though I love to pick the brain of any other transhumanist I can find17:24
skr5eno matter where17:24
kanzurewhat are your skills?17:24
skr5ebut forums do have their advantages, one being visibility17:24
kanzurewhat can you contribute in practical terms17:24
kanzureirc logs are just as visible17:24
kanzurebesides, i'm more interested in actively working on projects17:24
delinquentmewhat kanzure ^^ said17:25
delinquentmeand you can also try on " how fast can i learn X "17:25
delinquentmewhich in current environment is " really fucking fast" if you put your mind to it17:26
skr5eI suppose you have a point, I'm not knocking IRC17:26
skr5ebut I have to disagree that IRC logs are just as visible as forums17:26
skr5eMost people who become vaguely interested in transhumanism would look it up on google or something17:28
skr5eand assume there's no community out there17:28
kanzureare you more interested in media/visibility17:28
kanzurebecause honestly that's the fucken plague of humanity\x2b17:28
delinquentmekanzure, you mean like media coverage/17:29
skr5eNo, I realize that research is much more valuable than hype17:29
kanzurethe sort of work that free software developers do is hugely important17:29
delinquentmeskr5e, true but at the same time that hype is what turns children into engineers17:29
skr5eyes, delinquentme, that's what I'm trying to say17:29
kanzureblah fuck it17:30
kanzurenevermind17:30
delinquentmekanzure, you were looking for something?17:30
-!- augur [~augur@c-68-49-43-223.hsd1.md.comcast.net] has quit [Remote host closed the connection]17:30
skr5eif someone out there finds out about transhumanism and is curious about it17:30
kanzureif they are curious there is nothing that i can give them really17:30
skr5ehe's more likely to find random news articles17:31
kanzureyeah well fuck that17:31
kanzurereading a news article isn't gonna make you live forever17:31
skr5eI don't know why you're being so defensive man17:31
skr5eseriously I admire your research and I'm thankful for this channel17:31
kanzurei'm really hostile against your point of view :)17:31
delinquentmelol wait whats his POV?17:32
kanzureit's a plague that needs to be dealt with or else everyone will end up mediamasturbators17:32
kanzurewhat skills do you have btw?17:32
skr5enunchuck skills ;)17:33
skr5ewatch out17:33
kanzureah what style do you practice17:33
skr5eshotokan17:33
kanzurehrm17:33

delinquentmeskr5e, so goood you're taking care of yourself17:34
delinquentmethats a pretty good step of welll17:34
delinquentmeliving longer17:34
delinquentmeis that your day job?17:34
skr5ei'll tell you mine if you tell me yours17:35
skr5eI'm a meteorology technician17:35
kanzuremost often i write large and unhealthy amounts of sotware17:35
kanzuresoftware17:35
skr5eI make computational models to predict clouds17:37
skr5emy talents are being wasted I tell you17:37
kanzureheh17:37
skr5e:p17:37
kanzureso.. ensemble forecasting17:37
skr5eyeah we do work with ensembles and things like that17:37
skr5ealso the stuff that came before that17:38
delinquentmedude!17:38
kanzureis it for meteorology casters on tv17:38
delinquentmeskr5e, fuck no way man .. thats completely statistical modelling17:38
skr5eyeah17:38
delinquentmethats whats known by practitioners of the art as "really fucking useful"17:38
delinquentmesrsly.17:38
delinquentmeDNA right17:39
skr5ehaha, that's why I'm saying, my talents are going to waste :p17:39
delinquentmethe DNA that makes us who we are .. can vary up to 50% in its actual composition17:39
kanzurewhat are the ensembles over, anyway? i mean what constituent models17:39
skr5ei take it you know a few things about this, or is it just a test?17:40
delinquentmewithout showing any visible changes innnn17:40
kanzureskr5e: i know a few things but not how to write damn ensembles17:40
kanzureskr5e: i was doing some for financial related.. bigotry17:40

jrayhawkkanzure: perhaps you should think of h+ and SIAI as valuable honeypot organizations18:40
jrayhawkwhat effect would it have on you if, for instance, both of those organizations didn't exist, and their constituents organized here instead?18:40
kanzureinsanity18:42
kanzureactually, they might listen to me and i might be able to train them in practical things18:42
jrayhawkwhy would they do that, when you have no interest in outreach?18:42
jrayhawkand clearly certain people within h+ and SIAI do18:43
kanzurewell because presumably they would be interested in training18:43
kanzurealthough i agree with you that they are currently not :)AAAA18:43
jrayhawkit was similar flaw in perspective that lead Greg Kroah-Hartman's assertian that Ubuntu contributes very little to the open source ecosystem.18:46
jrayhawkwhen in reality, Debian or Fedora disappearing overnight would not be all that big a hit for productive people doing productive things, but Ubuntu disappearing overnight would be an absolute disaster to productive people18:46
kanzurehrm?18:49
jrayhawkUbuntu is a honeypot for anti-productive people.18:50
