@kanzure"In 1989, Fusion Associates formed a limited partnership through which it acquired control of Vega Biotechnologies, Inc., a publicly held biotechnology company. Fusion Associates reorganized the financially troubled company and sold a majority position in 1992."00:06
@kanzurewell thats troubling00:06
@kanzureyashgaroth, btw i'm pretty sure geneweave inc is doing phage display diagnostic assays00:06

sylph_makoAnelosimus eximius would be an example of a eusocial spider. I need more info on this. I find eusocial insects highly instructive examples.01:36
sylph_makoEvolutionary biology are like my fables.01:36
sylph_makoAt this precipice before enabling ourselves to replace the evolutionary forces that have gotten us this far with logic and memes, we need to learn the rules to the survival game in more depth than any animal ever has.01:39
sylph_makoThere are so many ways we could fuck this up.01:51

-!- SolG is now known as _sol_05:44
_sol_SO how about those DIY open source glassware labs? j/king05:45
_sol_The DEA is so paranoid that any amatuer medical chemistry organic synthesis is like the capital crime of transhumanism... anyway05:46
_sol_I wonder how long it will be bfore homeland security and the FDA get together with the DEA to create restrictive list for DIY biohacking and labs...05:47
chris_99i found you could get synthesizers pretty cheap off ebay05:47
_sol_alert alert.... that microscobe and microbio oven is a lethal weapon... put your hands up and step away from the petri dish05:48
_sol_er microscope05:48
chris_99haha05:48
_sol_homeland security and the local health dept have been tracking your moves to cheap restaurants/diners around the area and suspect you plan to biobomb the food...05:49
_sol_:P05:49
_sol_we are just taking precautions... hans over the equipment05:49
_sol_it could be a joke but seriously... some ppl are quite anal retentive about listing all possible problems in these govt agencies05:49
chris_99thankfully i don't live in the US ;)05:54
_sol_I've heard the chemical supply list are pretty restrictive these days, and some require heads up special forms to list your exact uses down on from some chemical companies even if and some want ya to have a DEA license anyway... but I guess tha tis if ya are doing some complex orgo synthesis... I was reading one uni chem site that says that alot of chemistry supplies for precursors has05:55
_sol_been highly regulated such that DIY chem is a dead field now for alot of things... not like the old days... I think europe is probably restrictive to,but not sure about elsewhere...05:55
_sol_even with an adv degree, they are requiring alot of chem companies for liability requir extra paperwork now05:55
_sol_or so I heard05:56
chris_99thats ridiculous05:56
chris_99i remember my dad saying in the old days they'd make things like nitrous oxide and fireworks05:56
chris_99and just get the chemicals from a shop05:57
_sol_I keep thinking if someone finds a viable way at self-assembly and biotech to create some nanotech probes and stuff that work that it will be form a rather restrictive network of  companies and govt agencies that will try to limit DIY tinkering for fearmongers of nanotech05:57
chris_99i personally think however hard they tried to regulate such an industry they're gonna fail05:58
chris_99when people can start making their own equipment05:58
chris_99or buying old equipment cheaply05:58
_sol_someone will go... nanobombs and airborne nanothis an dthat will be or already has been written up by a few restrictive people who are "security" experts that probably already has the ear of the govt...05:59
_sol_pretty soon ya will need a license in the US or the countries the US tries to do some deals with for exports/imports to own a spectrometer heh05:59
_sol_step away from the spectrometer... we know you are making something somewhere...05:59
_sol_no analysis allowed06:00
chris_99and i was thinking of getting a spectrometer for my homebrew, darn ;)06:03
_sol_yeah, well, ya probably odn't need it for the basics lol06:03
_sol_well, technically , old fashioned biotech is already regulated06:03
_sol_but06:04
chris_99what about dna synthesis, when someone could mail order a virus06:04
_sol_drop the yeast... you are holding a lethal bioagent...06:05
_sol_and stop trying to increase the yield with your biotech yeast...06:05
_sol_drunks :P06:05
_sol_er super biotech06:05
chris_99haha06:06
chris_99yeah i was looking to get hold of some 20% yeast to play with06:06
_sol_moonshiners with their southern comfort sons studying DIY biotech06:06
_sol_but dad... we could be the next .. whatever06:06
_sol_a higher yield and half the investment06:07

mag1strateGood Luck!09:08
JayDuggerGood luck.09:09
delinquentmeyeah doing a bit of brushing up reallly quick .. and also realizing that I should be looking for coder jobs in SV as they pay better than bioinformaticists09:11
delinquentmeby like 30gs09:11
mag1strateare you looking for a bioinformatics job now?09:12
delinquentmeummm i wanted to surround myself w biologists09:16
delinquentmebut being that biology jobs are contingent upon publish / perish as well as funding09:16
delinquentmeprogramming might be better09:16
mag1strateyeah for the money especially09:16
mag1stratebut is the interview for a bioinformatics job?09:16

Mokbortolan_Even if I had it I couldn't use it14:38
Mokbortolan_I have a consumer-grade headset14:38
@kanzurewhat?14:38
@kanzureno it's the same headset iirc14:38
Mokbortolan_isn't it a different firmware?14:38
Mokbortolan_Sure I'll take it, on the off chance it will work :)14:39
Mokbortolan_thanks!14:39
@kanzureno firmware differences14:39
Mokbortolan_one of the things I wanted to do with it was record a hypnosis session14:40
Mokbortolan_but I can't do that without the SDK, so I had resigned myself to using neuroprogrammer and mind workshop14:40
@kanzureerm i think you can record that with their default tools14:41
@kanzureone sec, trying to get this other person online14:42
Mokbortolan_AFAIK EEG recording is a research-only feature14:42
@kanzure"it dumps a TSV/CSV that one can do whatever you want with"14:42
Mokbortolan_hmm14:43
* Mokbortolan_ admits nigh-complete ignorance now.14:43

@kanzureanyway, the commercial sdk has lots of other features14:57

chris_99i'm curious about it15:00

yashgarothto be fair, a startup is a lot more locked into a single project19:51
delinquentme_yashgaroth, true but nuances within a project19:51

@kanzureideas for google adword keywords for ##hplusroadmap?20:08
@kanzurei'd like to dump a few bucks a day on random longtail keywords for things that people who are potentially useful might be searching for20:09
foucistkanzure: advertise on their names for when they google themselves20:10
@kanzurelet's assume these are for people that i don't know20:10
@kanzureerm, i mean, for people that i don't know the names of20:11
foucisthow about really technical jargon20:11
@kanzureright.. but can't be too generic,20:12
@kanzurelike 'oligonucleotide synthesis' is already embarrassingly small in search volume, but not specific enough20:12
@kanzure"transcranial direct current stimulation" might be ok20:12
foucistyeah20:12
foucistwhat sort of people are you looking for the most?20:12
@kanzure"global monthly searches: 2400"20:12
foucistwhat about ai folks?20:13
-!- yash is now known as yashgaroth20:13
@kanzurei haven't met a useful ai folk yet20:13
@kanzuremachine learning people are pretty savvy and they're fun, though20:13
foucistyeah20:13
foucistkanzure: btw the traffic on adwords is typically 3-5x more than what the tool reports20:14
@kanzureah. i don't run many campaigns so thanks..20:14
foucisti.e. closer to 10k for tdcs most likely20:14
foucistbut for that type of search term you might just end up with people that are just trying to find out what it's about20:15
@kanzureright.20:15
@kanzurefinding su8/pdms people would be nice though20:15
foucistprobably want to differentiate between the intent of the search term, research vs doing-shit heh20:15
@kanzureoh, maybe capturing people who are doing material safety queries on particularly relevant chemicals20:16
delinquentme_klafka, also told him about my cop happenings :D20:16
@kanzure"msds '4-'4-dimethoxytrityl" no queries..20:17
roksprokwhat about people who search for relevant academic events20:18
foucistkanzure: yeah try advertising on it anyways.. search volume is too low for the tool to report anything..  but what you probably want to do is generate a huge list of keywords for that msds idea20:18
foucistwith all sorts of variations etc20:18
roksproklike, dna synthesis conference20:18
roksprokor mashine learning conference 201220:18
@kanzuredna synthesis is too generic, you're not going to find transhumanists on that20:18
foucistkanzure: i.e. generate 10k keywords foo the msds20:18
foucistfor*20:19
@kanzurefoucist: is there a bulk upload?20:19
@kanzureroksprok: also, the other problem is that people who go to conferences might not be the people i want to target haha20:19
foucistyeah there's a downloadable adwords tool from google20:19
roksprokkanzure: good point20:19
foucistalso you can import .csv into the online interface i think?20:19
@kanzuremaybe by journal name or paper name20:19
@kanzureyeah, actually, by researcher name20:20
@kanzureso people who search for whiteside's nonsense or quake's pdms stuff20:20
@kanzurestephen quake is 1600/mo ish.. so it's measurable at least20:20
foucistkanzure: it actually might be more effective to focus on content display network, i.e. advertise on specific sites20:20
foucistand focus less on search/keywords20:20
foucistmight be able to advertise on some of the research paper sites through adwords20:21

n_benthano yes maybe?21:58
@kanzurewhat?21:59
n_benthathe CLT...?21:59
klafkawell actually CLT technically only implies in the infinite data limit :P22:02
klafkabut yeah22:02
klafkaalso a z table is when you've just transformed an assumed gaussian distribution to be normal22:03
klafkaa t-table is a student t distribution22:03

@kanzurehello noahj23:08
noahjHey kanzure23:08
noahjIt's been a long time23:08
noahjI tried piracetam somewhat recently and realised I don't have a good way to measure whether it's effective23:09
noahjThe nootropics subreddit seems to indicate that this is a pretty common experience23:09
Stee|noahj: Try double n-backs?23:09
noahjI'll try those now and assume that's some sort of baseline23:11
Stee|it's better if you do it before pira, but if you start now then you should be okay23:12
Stee|you want to do it like 30 mins a day I think23:12
Stee|and then if your rate of improvement increases with pira/baseline, that MAY be an affect23:13
noahjI've been off it for a week or so now and I've noticed no negative effects23:13
@kanzurehonestly, i'm really disappointed with most noots23:15
@kanzuren=1 is fine but we need effects that are 1000x not "it may or may not be 0.2x"23:15
Stee|rhodiola is one of the ones I've seen pretty universally have strong effects23:15
yashgarothI found piracetam cost-effective just for destroying my tolerance to alcohol and caffeine23:16
Stee|It's useful to cycle your xanthines, as well23:16
Stee|yohimbine is a nice supplement, but it's noot properties are reduced23:17
Stee|Although my ADHD friends all swear by pira having an incredible affect on them (Molybdenum among them)23:17
noahjPiracetam killed my tolerance for caffeine too23:17
noahjI'm suspicious of rhodiola just because I don't see very much detail on it-- what're the active compounds?23:18
Stee|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhodiola_rosea#Phytochemicals_and_potential_health_effects23:18
@kanzurepiracetam did not have a particularly strong effect on me (adhd)23:18
Stee|kanz, how long did you take it?23:19
@kanzurejust once, hah23:19
@kanzuredidn't care23:19
Stee|it's supposed to take ~6 weeks for full buildup23:19
Stee|oxi or noopept can (sometimes) kick in first time23:19
@kanzureoh i wasn't aware of the buildup timeline23:19
@kanzuremakes sense to me23:19
* kanzure sleeps23:20
Stee|hmm23:20
Stee|I should check my bank account balance and work on my drink mix23:20
@kanzure"checking your bank account balance" is for poor people23:20
@kanzurepay someone else to do it23:20
Stee|someday soon23:21
noahjHow much did you take?23:21
Stee|once these shackles of a degree are unlatched from my ankles23:21
noahjI took 3 grams, then 1g for a while, got bored and took 6g, then went back to 1g for a couple weeks, and then took 15g and then stopped23:21
Stee|1g is really low23:21
Stee|3g a day is a reasonable amount, I think that's what my mom does23:22
noahjAt 3g I was getting much better dreams, but not much else23:22
noahjI basically just kept taking it for the dreams23:22
Stee|I have oxi for needing to get extra work done23:22
noahjMaybe I'll try another racetam23:23
noahjPiracetam seems like it's had the most research done on it23:23
Stee|ani and oxi have some23:25
noahjI know the one -not- to take is levitiracetam :-p23:27
Stee|Mokbortolan_ sells, tho he may be out of stock23:28
