@kanzureand i picked one a bit further back.. theoretically i should have picked the one prior to your first commit00:00
nmz787on checkout does it change all the local files?00:00
@kanzureyes00:00
@kanzureor, rather.. in this case, most of the files are the same00:00
nmz787so if i cat a certain file, it will change from git checkout master to git checkout ubuntu-fixes?00:00
@kanzurein that situation "git checkout" will complain if it would overwrite uncommitted changes00:01
nmz787(if said file differed in the branches)00:01
@kanzurejrayhawk: please stop me if i am bullshitting anywhere00:01
nmz787hmm, no it works00:01
nmz787checkout master, takes a second maybe... nanoengineer wont start00:02
nmz787checout ubuntu-fixes, it starts00:02
nmz787just quick, lol00:02
nmz787quick enough that i questioned if the files were changning00:02
nmz787but yeah i guess its basically just a patch command underneath00:02
@kanzureyes each commit is a patch00:03
@kanzuregit reassembles the state of the working directory based on deltas calculated from lists of patches00:03

nmz787its hard to imagine why someone would want to hide their chromosome expression (i.e. that they actually have XX or XY sex chromosomes)... i mean i guess in the context of the movie gattaca, where its insurance and discrimination, it makes more sense to me10:13
katsmeow-afki think to be transhuman they must be different than normal humans10:14
nmz787so i guess its all to do with social discrimination10:14
nmz787hmm10:14
katsmeow-afkah, there's more to it than XX and XY in some cases10:14
nmz787so since homosexuality is prevalent in lower animals and human, is it then normal?10:14
nmz787you mean like intersex?10:14
katsmeow-afkno, intersex is yet another ball of wax10:15
nmz787or there are XX chromos, but the hormone levels are screwed up since birth?10:15
vrsnmz787: one could argue they are the original transhumanists10:15
katsmeow-afkthere's XXY, XYY, even XXXY10:15
nmz787hmm10:15
nmz787so is that natures way of thinning the herd?10:15
nmz787self-limiting, worker bees, etc?10:16

nmz787really want opinions/conversations, not book reading10:18
@kanzurenmz787: transsexual isn't usually considered transhuman10:19
nmz787its interesting because i know ppl who are gender-unsure and f2m10:19
nmz787but also seems like they are, in this society, political justice fighters10:20
katsmeow-afknmz787 , things NOT binary: physical sex at birth, physical sex after puberty, gene contents, hormone levels, body responce to hormone levels, brain construction related to genes or hormones, etc10:20
vrsI come from the biohacking side and that scene (if you can call it that) definitely has its share of genderqueer etc. people10:20
@kanzurethe biohacking side isn't particularly queer :P biocurious was mostly a joke10:20
nmz787i.e. if gandhi never would have made a big deal about india, they wouldn't have found freedom from british... but also his life was full of turmoil10:20
vrsyou need a certain attitude to your body to even consider putting metallic things in there10:20
@kanzureyou don't need to be queer to want to inject impractical things under your skin10:21
@kanzureand you don't need genderbending to do it either10:21
vrsright10:21
@kanzureso stfu10:21
vrsI think you missed my point10:21
@kanzureprobably10:21
katsmeow-afkthe tv show House did a interesting, harsh take on a normal XY person with normal hormones but zero body responce to testosterone10:21
nmz787hmm10:22
vrswhen you're trans/gq/whatever, you have a relationship with your body that cis people don't have10:22
nmz787i dunno, my body is just a vehicle10:22
katsmeow-afkcis?10:22
@kanzurevrs: and what is that relationship? many people reject their bodies and don't need to be genderbending10:22
nmz787its got a semen maker10:22
nmz787whatev, if i woulda been born a female, i would have liked that too10:23
vrskanzure: I never said you had to be queer to do x, I said being queer makes you more likely to do x10:23
nmz787i guess i'm interested in body-bending, but the sex part of it isn't that interesting or attention grabbing10:23
vrscis = not trans10:23
katsmeow-afknmz787, for those females that egaculate, is that "a semen maker" ?10:23
strangewarpIdeally, there would be a technology that allows people to absolutely choose what sort of body they would have. In lieu of that, one must choose between pursuing current techniques and waiting for better techniques. (If you don't care about what sort of body you have, that's fine too, but don't exclude the people who do care.)10:23
nmz787i.e. girl or boy parts, i would think about electroporating myostatin inhibitors10:24
vrswhen you're willing to undergo hormone treatment and possibly SRS, a piece of metal in your body is just another operation10:24
@kanzurestrangewarp: changing your sex organs doesn't particularly impact your ability to do better transhuman technologies10:24
katsmeow-afkstrangewarp, interesting take on it :-)10:24
vrsand the 'normal' people I've talked to about implants etc were quite put off by it10:24
vrstoo much yuck for them10:25
@kanzurestrangewarp: i guess you might say, "well, if i don't turn my dick inside out, i would be very unable to be effective at my work"10:25
@kanzure*claim10:25
katsmeow-afkkanzure, there's other methods of srs10:25
@kanzureoh thank god10:25
nmz787i just really wonder if the hormonal stuff is reliable or not10:25
strangewarpkanzure: I think you think I'm making a claim I'm not making? :s10:25
vrsnmz787: srs is only part of it10:25
nmz787i don't even think having birth control pills since the 1950s is long enough to just give to teenagers that dont want to get acne10:26
vrsmones alone don't reverse your dick10:26
@kanzureso anyway.. that's why i argue that transsexual srs is not a transhuman technology10:26
nmz787srs?10:26
@kanzuresex reassignment surgeries10:26
katsmeow-afkit can't be transhuman, because you areleft with 100% plain simple human biology after srs10:26
nmz787so nootropics/adderall isn't transhuman?10:26
nmz787its not programmed by the DNA10:27
vrskatsmeow-afk: except that you need to take hormones10:27
nmz787in srs, hormones, or adderal10:27
@kanzureah wait i didn't say DNA only did i?10:27
nmz787kanzure: no10:27
katsmeow-afkvrs, i disagree, not in all cases10:27
katsmeow-afkbesides, the hormones are replacement, not transhumanistic10:27
@kanzurenmz787: i would argue that you can use (and measure) nootropics to impact the human brain10:28
vrsnmz787: http://sapiensanonym.blogspot.de/10:28
@kanzurelepht is a crack pot10:28
vrsanecdotal evidence :)10:28
nmz787so is a transhuman different from their birth composition, or different from the avg/reference human?10:28
-!- vrs was kicked from ##hplusroadmap by kanzure [vrs]10:28
katsmeow-afkwait, there's NO posting of urls in here anymore?!10:28
nmz787kanzure: i'm not saying nootropics dont mess with brain10:28
-!- vrs [vrs@unaffiliated/vrs] has joined ##hplusroadmap10:28
@kanzurekatsmeow-afk: heh not really10:28
vrshm?10:28
@kanzurevrs: i still love you10:28
@kanzurebut seriously, lepht isn't a reasonable person10:29
katsmeow-afkthen next time you post an url, please kick yourself10:29
nmz787why did vrs get kicked?10:29
vrskanzure: never said it was10:29
nmz787i post URLs10:29
@kanzurei am just being playful. i didn't ban vrs and i still love vrs.10:29
nmz787ok10:29
katsmeow-afka kick is still disruptive and impolite10:29
@kanzurelepht was the one who started conflating psychotic breakdowns with transhumanism and biohacking10:29
nmz787so kanzure are nootropics transhumanist, or just temporal modification?10:29
@kanzurenmz787: i think temporary modifications could be considered to be human enhancing, yes..10:30
nmz787because adderal is seen in academics to give a competitive edge over other students10:30
@kanzurekatsmeow-afk: yes well so is linking to lepht10:30
vrskanzure: deal with it, every scene has its broken people10:30
nmz787so in that case srs or sex hormones is transhumanist too10:30
vrsand leoht is interesting10:30
nmz787all the peeps on birth control10:30
@kanzurevrs: lepht isn't part of this scene really :P10:30
vrslepht*10:30
@kanzurelepht has never actually communicated with the majority of the biohacking community10:30
@kanzuremostly because we'd rip her apart10:30
vrsalso if all you ever read about it was that shitty wired article10:31
katsmeow-afki never heard of her10:31
@kanzureno not just that wired article10:31
@kanzurebut also the screaming vids10:31
@kanzureand the arm/tendon shit10:31
@kanzureanyway!10:31
@kanzurenmz787: there's people who would say yes and some who would say no to you on that10:32
vrselaborate, I watched one of the implant videos, but it didn't have sound10:32
strangewarpI think there is a distinct difference between current SRS, where flesh is moved around with simple surgery, and ideal SRS, which would result in full transformation with no compromise. But trying to figure out whether the former is transhumanist or not may not be relevant.10:32
@kanzurenmz787: they would argue that our nootropics currently suck, for instance10:32
@kanzurethere are other ways to define transhumanist though..10:33
@kanzurelike "minimal viable nootropic"10:33
* katsmeow-afk goes away to do things irl :-(10:33
@kanzurewhich would be a nootropic that makes its user smart enough to make a better nootropic10:33
vrskanzure: I think you are being an elitist, but ok10:33
nmz787but also if we're saying nootropics (drugs) could be transhumanist, then majority of ppl are transhumanist in a little way10:33
nmz787anyone taking any pill10:33
@kanzurevrs: i don't have a backup of the other videos10:33
nmz787because pills are so new to human race10:33
@kanzurevrs: i think you should not take her advice and think for yourself instead10:34
nmz787transhumans dont have to be smarter, right???10:34
vrskanzure: obviously10:34
nmz787they could be total dumbasses that survive on rock slime10:34
@kanzurevrs: that's /not/ obvious to lepht's followers10:34
strangewarpIf you're going to widen the definition that much, you might as well include clothes and tools10:34
vrsalso "its", not "her"10:34
@kanzurevrs: yawn.. i don't care10:34
vrskanzure: I think you've only met the idiot ones10:34
@kanzurevrs: on that point i'm elitist ;)10:34
nmz787well kanzure the pronouns are a non-binary thing like someone mentioned earlier10:34
@kanzureyes but language is not specific anyway10:35
@kanzurei am not going to fully qualify all of the things that i say10:35
vrsthere are not that many things that make sense as implants, sadly10:35
vrsat least with the current state of technology10:35
@kanzurea magnet is interesting but i don't think it's particularly relevant10:35
@kanzureand i don't see a reason to be opposed to aneasthetics10:35
@kanzurenmz787: so that's the thing,10:36
vrskanzure: because lepht has a certain history with anaesthetics10:36
@kanzurenmz787: transhumanism really just means "human enhancement"10:36
@kanzurenmz787: there are many technologies that improve an individual's personal condition10:36
vrshalf of the blog entries are about problems with tramadol10:36

nmz787i mean i def felt like a small kid in high school, i wasn't a jock or anything, didn't know how to work out, avoided physical confrontation because i felt weak10:39
nmz787tried working out, but didn't have a teacher, so didn't make much progress10:39

@kanzureno people who are trans explain it as something different i think10:43
vrsscience isn't yet finished on that one, but the most popular theory is "the brain's internal representation of genitals and body doesn't fit the real thing"10:44
vrsand it's proven easier to mould the body instead of the brain10:45

nmz787these masses called balls, are part of the same unit that holds my conscious10:47
nmz787i can understand, ok, balls aren't my ideal mass to be down there10:47
nmz787but to be so frustrated10:47
@kanzurethey aren't thinking like that10:47
nmz787seems pointless or a waste of time10:47
strangewarpIt sounds like you're rationalizing10:48
nmz787unless they are frustrated with how society discriminates them10:48
@kanzuretheir value system or internal psychology is such that gender is on the top of their mind10:48
nmz787i.e. soceity sees balls, but the person wants to be seen with breasts10:48
@kanzurein your case nmz787 it sounds like you wouldn't be particularly heartbroken if you were genderless10:48
yashgarothwell normally society won't be seeing your balls10:48

strangewarpkanzure: There are also people who feel like they should have /very/ different or extra parts, like a subset of the people who are into furry10:52
nmz787but that is grounded in reality to begin with10:52
@kanzurenmz787: there are many things that can go wrong in the human brain long before you get to a stage where something resembling rational thought can happen10:53
@kanzureand by wrong i mean abnormal really10:53
strangewarpThe easiest way to solve body dysmorphic thoughts is to let the person modify their body, but instead it's treated as something that must be repressed..10:55
@kanzureoh right, "body dysmorphic" is what i was thinking of10:56
@kanzurestrangewarp: there are many advantages to keeping your legs10:56
@kanzureright now we don't have anything better. wheelchairs aren't necessarily healthy. exoskeletons tend to suck.10:57
strangewarpOne can make any argument for the objective utility of a particular boily configuration, but if the person's mind wants something else, then they're either going to have to change their mind or their body.10:57

strangewarpow11:10
nmz787_Interesting11:10
yashgarothpretty much all other cells in the body undergo a lot of dna methylation, which degrades their usefulness in being reprogrammed to other cell types11:10
yashgarothsince methylation causes a lot of mutations, and they're naturally methylating the regions that they don't use, that other cell types would11:11
yashgarothbut yeah if you think muscle electroporation would be painful, that's a whole other level of ouch11:12
nmz787_Cant you inject demethylase?11:12
yashgarothsure, but a lot of the mutations are already there11:12

yashgarothreprogramming cells leads to genome replication, with fewer and fewer of the methylation sites being copied onto the daughter genome11:13
nmz787_Mutations in accesibility bc of methyls, or dna gets "damaged"11:13
yashgarothmethylated Cs will spontaneously mutate11:14
yashgarothto Ts11:14
nmz787_But remain methylated or that can chabge too?11:14
yashgarothwhen the genome is copied in replication, the new genome is unmethylated11:15
yashgarothusually a methyltransferase comes in to make all the sites methylated that should be, or were on the parent genome11:15
nmz787_Wha?11:15
nmz787_Ya11:15
nmz787_So the new Ts dont have parents... so no methyls11:16
yashgarotherr no that's a separate issue11:16
yashgarothsometimes a methylated C becomes a T, which is a problem for reprogramming11:17
yashgarothbut also for inducing reprogramming, you want to block methylation in general11:17

fennyes, it turns out we need EPA and DHA14:30
nmz787and i wont buy fish that came from greenland, was processed in china, and is now in upstate NY14:31
fenni eat canned sardines and mackerel14:31
fennbetter than nothing14:31
fennactually, it's the best fish to eat from an environmental perspective14:31
nmz787"best" in today's world14:31

fennnmz787: "polyethylene glycol-mediated transformation of the circular chromosome to the DNA-free cells followed by selection"14:41
fennPEG exposure often spontaneously creates cells with extra chromosomes14:41
fennweird stuff14:42
yashgarotherr where did you see that part14:43
fennhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mycoplasma_laboratorium14:44
yashgarothno the part about extra chromosomes14:44
fennwe did that in my cell culture lab14:44
-!- devrandom [~devrandom@gateway/tor-sasl/niftyzero1] has joined ##hplusroadmap14:44
fennerm. the tissue culture lab i took in college14:44
yashgarothit can make cells fuse, but they won't spontaneously develop chromosomes14:45
fenni forget the purpose of using PEG14:45
fennright, two cells fuse, then the fused cell drops various chromosomes but not all of them14:45
fennor maybe they just don't all get transferred14:46
yashgarothI suppose if the fused cell(s) manage to replicate, their nuclei would mix and you'd end up with a weird chromosome count14:46
yashgarothgenerally you can use PEG to transfer DNA into cells, which I'm guessing was the reason in your lab14:48

nmz787If the F-plasmid that is transferred has previously been integrated into the donor’s genome some of the donor’s chromosomal DNA may also be transferred with the plasmid DNA.[3] The amount of chromosomal DNA that is transferred depends on how long the two conjugating bacteria remain in contact. In common laboratory strains of E. coli the transfer of the entire bacterial chromosome takes about 100 minutes. The transferred 15:59

@kanzurenmz787: it usually sets off his crazy16:04
nmz787so can we just do all this synthesis in organelles? organelle engineering sounds hard, but am I wrong? yashgaroth???16:04
yashgarotherr what16:04
yashgarothwhat synthesis16:04
nmz787then screw microfluidics, its all just bio factories16:05
nmz787DNA synthesis16:05
nmz787random idea16:05
yashgarothas much as I prefer the in vivo version whenever possible, microfluidics would be way easier16:05
@kanzurethe chemical environment inside an organelle is inhospitable to phosphoramidite chemistry16:05
nmz787not phosphoramidite16:05
nmz787(i just posted a quote from wikipedia about conjugation)16:06
nmz78750kbp/min DNA translocation16:06
@kanzurenmz787: a netsplit means there's going to be people who don't receive the same set of messages16:06
nmz787so if that could be programmed to pump one nt/time16:06
nmz787then the tdt enzyme would work for synth16:06
nmz787netsplit?16:07
@kanzurebut i got your 50 kbp/min message and the ones before that16:07
nmz787whats a netsplit?16:07
@kanzureyeah.. look near the bottom http://gnusha.org/logs/2012-05-01.log16:07
@kanzurehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit16:07
@kanzure"In computer networking, specifically Internet Relay Chat (IRC), netsplit is the disconnection of a given node from the previously established network or between two nodes. As an IRC network is an undirected acyclic graph, a split between any two nodes splits the entire network into two pieces."16:07
nmz787what is that?16:07
nmz787wait IRC is p2p?16:08
katsmeow-afkthe servers are p2p16:08
nmz787whats the freenode thing for?16:08
katsmeow-afkfor irc16:08
nmz787?16:08
@kanzurefreendoe is an irc network.. there are other networks like efnet and oftc16:08
@kanzure*freenode16:08
nmz787but why are we on a network, if its p2p16:09
@kanzurefreenode primarily hosts channels about open source projects i guess16:09
@kanzurethe servers are p2p16:09
* katsmeow-afk checks out freendoe16:09
@kanzureclients connect to an irc server16:09
@kanzurefor instance.. you are connected to adams.freenode.net16:09
katsmeow-afknmz787, mostly because they don't want i to be split-proofed, because that wold eat bandwidth someone would haveto pay for16:09
@kanzurei'm connected to gibson.freenode.net out of oslo, norway16:09

@kanzureyes if we had an engineered enzyme we could stuff into an organelle or vesicle or something16:12
@kanzureor virus capsid16:12
nmz787well i was specifically referring to the DNA translocation system for conjugation16:12
nmz787its similar to the agrobacterium DNA injection system16:12
nmz787i dont know if they actually have a locomotion step though16:13
yashgarothbrb16:13
nmz787or maybe some sort of one-way DNA ratchet/valve.... so the DNA can only move in one direction16:13

yashgarothI threw up a response to that telomerase fellow on biohack if you want something more cogent than my previous rambling23:43
yashgarothturns out the vector uses a VSV coat protein that's not limited to immune cells, but everything else is still terrible about it23:43
@kanzureyou might as well paste the link23:44
yashgarothwell I suppose http://discuss.biohack.me/discussion/221/safety-concerns-in-using-replication-incompetent-hiv-based-lentiviruses-for-dna-tranduction.#Item_323:45
