kanzureit's pretty poorly written though04:12
kanzureno separation of gui and non-gui components04:12
kanzurenot enough unit testing04:12
kanzurewhy don't we have any figurehead promoting the "proteins are molecular nanotechnology, you fools!" propaganda line?04:17
kanzuresurely there should be at least one person smearing smalley and drexler's face in that04:18
xtalmathwhen is was at the end of high school around 2004 or so I was dreaming of exactly this nanoengineer software kind of thing, I wish I discovered it then04:23
xtalmathI wanted to design at molecular level, but my chemistry is still bad, and went off to study physics at uni04:24
archelskanzure: because it's rather a different type of beast than what the Drexler crowd is after? Cogs and pistons and assembly lines versus a biological soup.04:27
xtalmathI think both approaches need to be explored04:28
kanzurenanoengineer was started around 2004 hehe04:30
kanzurearchels: you can make those with proteins04:30
xtalmathkanzure: what is its history? I see no wikipedia page etc04:30
kanzurenanorex was a company developing nanoengineer from 2004 to 200804:30
kanzuredumping in about $1M/year in development expenses04:30
kanzurewhen nanorex shutdown, i asked them if they would apply an open-source license and give me everything and they said sure04:31
xtalmathdoes it support 'templates' / features ? like structures of bulk, and plane patterns etc? perhaps functional like OpenSCAD?04:32
xtalmathkanzure: it is good you did that04:32
kanzurei hate openscad with a fiery passion04:32
xtalmath:)04:32
kanzurebut no at the moment it does not afaik04:32
kanzurefor cad i highly recommend using something like verbnurbs, solvespace, brlcad or otherwise just use solidworks04:33
kanzurei was planning on eventually porting nanoengineer stuff into lolcad (my own nurbs cad kernel library) but that hasn't happened yet04:33
kanzureand opencascade is almost entirely worthless http://diyhpl.us/wiki/cad/opencascade/04:34

kanzurextalmath: i probably have a backup of that wiki, but it's not presently available online05:13
xtalmathit is for interface specifically, or the wiki might also contain documented algorithms? how can the algorithms be improved / corrected / optimized if they are not documented?05:14
kanzurenot sure what algorithms you think are involveed05:14
kanzureall of the simulation stuff was just gromacs and nanodynamics and nanohive05:14
xtalmathorbitals or smth?05:14
xtalmathoh05:15
xtalmathso it is an interface to used with gromacs etc backends?05:15
justanotheruseris nanoengineer even worth maintaining?05:15
justanotheruseror would it be better just to write an alternative from scratch05:15
kanzurejustanotheruser: would be better to do a rewrite + cannabalize05:16
kanzurextalmath: gromacs is only used for the simulation portion. the cad modeling is custom.05:16

xtalmathgromacs/nanodynamics/nanohive are included, or dependencies?05:17
kanzuregromacs is a separate dependency05:17
kanzurenanohive/nanodynamics are included i think05:17
kanzurewellll not a dependency, more like a plugin that can be ccalled. but not a plugin. just a third-party tool. another library to use.05:19
xtalmathyeah, like choosing a compiler05:29
justanotheruserxtalmath: did you find this channel through reddit?05:32
kanzurehackaday.05:33
xtalmathis it possible to generate equation of state from a molecule design?05:34
justanotheruserah. I ask because I found this channel when trying to find out what life nanoengineer had and found out that you were the "maintainer"05:34
justanotheruserlinked on reddit05:34
xtalmathjustanotheruser: no, I found it through HAD05:34
xtalmathjustanotheruser: I am not the maintainer, kanzure is05:34

xtalmathCaptHindsight: what does that even mean? something like transcription factors?11:21
kanzurewell it's probably talking about oct8 and such11:28
kanzure"compete with gene insertions" is ambiguous11:29
kanzureyashgaroth: also it would be interesting to see if mutant toxoplasma gondii could do anything interesting with whale brain matter (there's a lot of it), or octopus brain matter (not as much but that can be easily fixed with a few generations of octopus egg selection)11:34
kanzureyashgaroth: particularly, the greater brain mass means there could be more cysts or at least more bacteria to find weird places to try to pinch or influence.11:35
kanzures/greater brain mass/greater brain volume11:35

kanzureoctopus optical skin modulation seems like a sufficiently high-bandwidth communication method to have available12:17
xtalmathi wonder to what extent it can control individual "pixels" or if it really has just a couple of signals under control. (consider a 2d intensity plot of a*sin(x^2+y^2)+b*cos(x^2+y^2). it could look impressive but only have 2 signals as a function of time a(t) and b(t)...12:21

kanzure"Cephalopod chromatophores are made of a central pigment cell surrounded by 10 to 20 radially arranged muscle fibres under direct nervous control. Innervation of these muscle fibres was studied with anterograde cobalt fills of peripheral nerve bundles and light and electron microscopy. Individual axons branch repeatedly to innervate the muscles of chromatophores scattered over several millimeters. Axons contained in several dermal nerves ...12:32

The fluorescent green raccoon in the adjacent image, played by Rafael Vanouse, repeatedly chants “amplify the source, not the signal.”  The phrase refers to the genius of PCR for DNA analysis.  Prior to PCR, scientists seeking to visually analyze DNA fragments needed to radioactively label target sequences and typically they sought better imaging apparatus or stronger r13:04

chris_99that was with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shingled_magnetic_recording i'm not sure what that means yet though14:08

xtalmathso with a wide brush you can still make thin lines14:11

chris_99https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magneto-optical_drive14:25

chris_99that's a good point...14:36
chris_99they're going cheap on fleabay too14:38
xtalmathalso, when using this to read platters, be careful to read at low power settings, perhaps the platter must spin, as a focused spot may demagnetize the bit unintentionally14:39

chris_99just for fun14:40

chris_99one thing i was wondering, could you read multiple bits at a time?14:42
chris_99if you used an image sensor14:42
xtalmathchris_99: yes, in that book there is images of that14:43
chris_99cool, i haven't read the kerr section completely14:43
xtalmathits also used in mineralogy or metallurgy to inspect materials, in microscopes14:43
xtalmathso dont necessarily need image sensor14:43
chris_99i've got a metallurgical microscope, maybe i can hack it14:43
xtalmathI know little about metallurgical microscopes, so I don't know what kinds there are14:44
xtalmathif it has a kerr effect mode, then you could try and keep a whole minidisk above it Curie point, and try wave a magnet to see realtime influence of the magnet!14:46

xtalmathI don't believe they can control magnetic fields at this scale, so I assume they use something similar to the minidisk, heating a thin section, such that the wide field only influences that section above the Curie point14:52
xtalmath"Seagate introduced TMR heads featuring integrated microscopic heater coils to control the shape of the transducer  region of the head during operation. The heater can be activated prior  to the start of a write operation to ensure proximity of the write pole  to the disk/medium."14:52
xtalmathhmm, I think heat (in the form of colliding molecules, not radiative heat) is easier to focus than light14:54
xtalmathhow how close is the write head to the platter? is that like molecular flow regime?14:54
xtalmathperhaps it heats incoming air stream, then forces it into a thin jet? while draw cool air on the sides?14:55

kanzuremike darwin claims that brains can tolerate up to 60% frozen-as-in-ice and recover19:10
yashgarothdepends how that 60% is distributed, if it's not freeze-lysing the actual neurons and just the interstitial space then sure19:11
yashgarothalso "tolerate" and "recover" are rather vague terms, esp. when speaking about brains19:11
