archels5½ hours of meetings later...05:24
archelstime to start actual work05:24
kanzureyou should send a cardboard cutout of yourself to the meetings05:24
cluckja cardboard cutout? why not do the cool thing and make a clone?05:26
maakuor a digital display with the accumulated salary + overhead of the people in the room05:26
kanzure"ha, ha, ha. that joke cost you n * $300,000/year / cost per minute."05:27
cluckjhahahaha05:27
cluckjlike I do with my students05:27
kanzurewaste their time and make their life miserable? *ducks*05:27
cluckjI do a calculation on the board of how much missing a class costs them05:27
maakucluckj: you probably don't need that many digits for that display05:28
cluckjwell, of course, I thought that was assumed05:28
cluckjmaaku, tuition is almost $50k a year for them05:28
kanzureyeah how much does that come out to? a few cents?05:28
maakuand a their remaining dignity05:28
kanzurei like this guy05:29
cluckjtheir classes cost $208 per hour05:29
cluckj4 classes, 4 hours a week, for 15 weeks05:29
kanzureper actual hour or per "hour"?05:29
cluckjper actual hour05:29
cluckjugh shit I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo underpaid05:30
cluckjoh I guess it's $10405:31
cluckjmy bad05:31
cluckjso the university is raking in $1875/hr05:32
cluckjand paying me like $2005:32
kanzurearen't there laws against this05:46
cluckjI wish05:53
kanzure"At these very early stages Bitcoin is wildly susceptible to the temporary whims of a relatively small number of day traders. I do not believe the price represents the long term sentiment of most of those involved in Bitcoin, or even of the aforementioned day traders themselves, but rather the short term profitability of exchange trading."05:55
kanzurei'm trying to remember why this is a non-statement05:55
kanzureon the surface it does not look like a non-statement, but i'm pretty sure it is one05:55
maakuwell for one "bitcoin" != "usd/btc exchange rate"06:05

kanzure"The biggest and most complex multi-branched multi-function undersea communications network is the one setup by Canada's NEPTUNE project off the shore of Vancouver. It's 900km of cable linking a vast array of stationary experiment plaftorms and mobile crawler rovers."10:28

kanzure"They've setup a whole undersea internet using these sophisticated sealed power and communications router nodes that have their cables pre-installed and dropped whole on the seafloor and periodically raised for service and upgrade. This is the closest present day analogy to the kind of installation your telescope would use."10:28

kanzure"Putting things on the sea floor with precision is really hard. There are generally no anchors used for underwater cables. They just sit on the sea floor--occasionally getting caught in anchors or nets or gnawed on by marine life..."10:28

kanzure" Near shore they will bury cables to avoid storm problems. This usually involves a system that digs a trench, fills it with mud or jelly-like bentonite clay, drops the cable in the trench with the clay, then pumps-out the clay as the trench is filled. But this isn't a particularly precise process either. Things that need some kind of precision arrangement will often employ some sort of chassis or frame dropped whole or in large modular ...10:29
kanzure... units on the sea floor and used as a guide to assemble other things on or may use some kind of anchors or pilings placed from rigs on the surface using laser positioning guides, which is quite tricky. This is very rare as very few marine applications have ever called for that much precision. Engineers more usually try to design the need for precision out of the systems."10:29
kanzure"One thing about your observatory design I wonder about is if the drift in the suspended vertical cables would effect the performance of detectors. Even at great depths, they're likely to constantly shift around a modest amount due to small currents, creating a somewhat wobbly frame of reference for the grid, if that matters. Storms might have the detectors hitting each other if closely spaced, but a rigid frame or other stabilizing ...10:29
kanzure... structures would block the view of the sensors. I wonder if something off-the-shelf might be an option. There are large ready-made geodesic spheres for marine use, designed as open sea fish pens. Called Aquapods, they have been deployed in projects with NELHA. (Natural Energy Laboratory, Hawaii --where the US's only OTEC plant used to be and is supposedly being rebuilt by Lockheed)"10:29

nmz787_ihuh, that's pretty cool10:31
nmz787_iI had no idea there was such a sensor network10:31
nmz787_ihuh, that STM project guy has this on his site :"The current goal of my research at McGill University is to develop a platform for linearly extending long DNA molecules for genomic analysis. We do this by confining them in nanoscale grooves etched in glass and observe them with fluorescence microscopy."10:33
nmz787_i"We use a technique called “Convex Lens-induced Confinement” (CLiC, invented by my supervisor Prof. Sabrina Leslie) to confine DNA into nanogrooves using tunable vertical confinement. The DNA are loaded into an imaging chamber formed by two microscope coverslips separated by a thin double-sided tape spacer with a flow channel laser-cut in it. The bottom chamber surface contains the nanogrooves. A microscope objective observes10:34
nmz787_imolecules inside the chamber from below. A convex lens presses on the top surface of the chamber to squeeze DNA into the nanogrooves from above. The entropy change is gradual, and the DNA don’t break in the process. I’ve used this technique to extend T4-phage DNA (166 kbp) to grooves as narrow as 27 nm."10:34

kanzure"Assistant US attorney Timothy Howard also said in his statement that Ulbricht at one point confessed creating the Silk Road to an old college friend. That purported personal breach of Ulbricht’s secrecy represents a damaging new claim from the prosecution, and Howard said that the college friend would be serving as a witness in the trial."15:57

After initially refusing to tell the friend about the nature of the site and describing it as “top secret,” Howard says that Ulbricht eventually caved and revealed his ownership of the Silk Road."16:00

kanzure"Brus and his colleagues aren't the only people pushing to ease restrictions to early-stage drugs. In the U.S., the libertarian Goldwater Institute is lobbying to pass "Right To Try" legislation in all 50 states that would give doctors the "ok" to prescribe terminally-ill patients unapproved drugs that have undergone minimum basic safety testing. In the last year or so, it's succeeded in passing bills in five states: Colorado, Arizona, ...16:25

Still, these bills might not change much, says Alison Bateman-House, a researcher who specializes in compassionate use at NYU's Department of Medical Ethics: The FDA has ultimate authority and could still require patients apply to individually for exemptions."16:25

maakugah sorry19:06
maakuhttp://intelligence.org/files/ConceptLearning.pdf19:06
kanzurenot yet19:06
maakuhe's presenting it the AI ethics workshop in Austin on the 25th19:06
kanzurei'll have to skip that, but i wouldn't mind hanging out with him19:07
kanzurei'd probably flip a table or something19:07
kanzure"your concept of ethics is horseshit" etc19:07
maakuyeah i told him he should look you up, which I assume you saw19:07
maakuhe's one of the few people with MIRI who has a clue19:08
kanzurei talked with him earlier today for a bit when he messaged me19:08
kanzurebtw fenn is moving in with the MIRI crew today19:08
kanzurei think he was on a flight today for this19:08
maakureally?19:08
kanzurewell, i don't know if this particular home is still known as the miri group home or not19:09
maakuI thought fenn was -- the horror! -- more of a practitioner?19:09
kanzureyeah but he also appreciates cheaprent19:09
maakuoh i see, the MIRI house19:09
-!- nsh [~lol@wikipedia/nsh] has joined ##hplusroadmap19:10
kanzuremaaku: one of the complaints i have about singinst-style "ethics" is that it seems ridiculous to hypothesize that human brains are ethics-constrained, given the great amounts of "unfriendly" behavior we have seen generated in even recent history19:10
kanzurebut also, imposing those sorts of limits on human brains seems really really manipulative and controlling of them19:11
maakukanzure: yeah we're not ethics-constrained by any measure.19:11
-!- [nsh] [~xeb@wikipedia/nsh] has quit [Quit: Leaving]19:11
kanzuree.g. i mean if they want to roll out their own global thinkcontrol ethicscontrol thingy19:11
kanzure(and it's ridiculous to favor only certain beings with cognitive ability- suddenly biological beings are not as dangerous in their framework? please. that's just an inconsistency.)19:12
maakuoh i don't think they want think-control, just action-control19:12
maakuyou suddenly can't do evil things, because super-wise nanny AI prevents you19:12
kanzurei take the greg egan definition of thinking (pushing real stuff around in your head, various results from that computation like motion)19:12
kanzureyes but supernanny is just a race-to-get-there-first basically19:12
kanzureand why would i let them win?19:12
maakuyeah super-nanny is "make sure only I have godlike powers"19:13
maakuand all the friendly AI stuff is "it's okay, this is why you can trust me with godlike powers"19:14
kanzureright... actually i'll be more generous and say "only certain other activity is allowed, but ultimately this process must have control and veto power over anything in this light sphere"19:14
kanzureexcept it's not okay, because friendliness is crap19:14
kanzurehm19:18
kanzureyeah i don't like this paper at all19:19
kanzureit assumes that the idea of concepts is a good one, and it very well might not be19:19
kanzure*of "concepts"19:20
kragenwe do seem to be causing a mass extinction and possibly driving the biosphere toward a runaway greenhouse effect19:20
kragenso we may not be very friendly19:20
maakunot sure I understand the objection, kanzure19:20
kragenbut it might be possible to be less friendly19:21
kanzuremaaku: i think the idea of "concepts" is highly likely to be totally wrong, so i don't see why he is interested in it19:21
kragenmaybe even without going all the way to miri's paperclip maximizer19:21
kanzurekragen: nuking the planet is much less friendly19:21
kanzureand quite simple19:21
kanzureinterstellar walls of computronium are also considered rude19:21
kanzurein general19:21
maakuit's certainly true that AGI architectures like OpenCog work by having a "concept" repository, which is used for generating new ideas19:22
kanzurewell, interstellar walls of computronium imposing on your location, i mean19:22
kragenright, xactly19:22
kragenso far we haven't been demonstrated to nuke the planet but we certainly seem to pose a non-negligible risk of doing so19:22
kanzuremaaku: i'm not even sure anyone has ever experimentally verified that an "idea" is a real thing that exists, and not just folk/pop psychology nonsense19:22
kragenand we don't really know if nuclear winter or similar catastrophe would result19:22
kanzurenuke the planet doesn't mean just fallout, i mean nuke every square millimeter19:23
kanzureof the surface19:23
maakuok, i'm pretty sure what you're talking about is not what is meant by concept in this context19:23
kanzuremaaku: go on?19:23
kragenwe have not come close to being able to nuke every square millimeter19:23
kragenbut maybe soon we could19:23
maakuconcept is just internal models of the world, and processes of thinking, etc.19:23
kanzurekragen: even if we tried?19:23
kragenyou will not succeed in nuking every square millimeter if you try19:24
kanzuremaaku: yeah there's not much evidence of that i think.. it's true that there's something like a memory that happens, and predictions based on that, but it may not be anything like a model.. nobody knows.19:24
kanzurewhoops i should remove "nobody knows"19:24
maakui'm using a generic meaning for "model" -- whatever it is, that's what i'm talking about19:24
kanzurekragen: i assume that you would not start by one sq mm section at a time, but rather a general plan to get there, like simultaneous orbital launch?19:24
maakuand in the context of AGI, it's an explicit data structure19:25
kragenno19:25
krageni mean that if you try then you will be arrested19:25
kanzuremaaku: that explicit data structure might be totally irrelevant or broken though.... how would anyone know?19:25
kanzuremaaku: (specifically i'm talking about "how do you know that it corresponds to anything in the human brain?")19:25
kragennot guaranteed but far more likely than succeeding19:25
kragenif you counterfactually propose that the entire human race collaborate to build nuclear weapons in order to nuke every square millimeter, then sure, we could, but that's sort of an argument that assumes the contradiction of what it's trying to prove19:25
kanzurekragen: arrest is irrelevant in that context i think, heh19:25
kanzurewhat is the contradiction19:26
kragenif the entire human race collaborates frictionlessly in such a way then we could more easily imagine them collaborating to do something that wouldn't kill them all19:26
kragenin a horrifying way19:26
kanzureeh, the entire human population? all of them? that's a fairly pessimistic estimate!19:26
kragenwell, so lacking such extreme counterfactuals19:27
kanzurehopefully such a venture would take less than 1 million people19:27
kragenwe are left with what has been factually demonstrated in the past19:27
kanzureotherwise i would be worried19:27
kragenwhich is that the existing social structure constrains people to be sufficiently friendly that they don't build nuclear arsenals capable of nuking every square millimeter of the surface, or even close19:28
kragenin part because of the very low efficiency of existing nuclear weapons19:28
kragenbut in greater part because of things like the iaea19:28
maakukanzure: right sure. but i think kaj (and myself) would say, if it appears to get the same result, who cares?19:33
maakupsychology appears to describe the way in which humans behave. if we use constructivist psycology to build an artificial human, it might not actually work the way the brain does19:33
maakubut hopefully it does behave similar to how a human does19:33
maakuand really for me all i care is that "sudo make me a nanofactory" works19:34
maakufor which human thinking is illustrative, but not required19:34
