fennphilip kennedy was doing research on restoring speech with a locked-in patient, but the patient bumped the electronics and they had no budget to do the replacement surgery. they didn't meet the $20k-$85k goal so they did the replacement in belize, which apparently got dr. kennedy thinking about getting an implant of his own06:14

kanzure"Current BMIs for restoring communication can provide important capabilities via a typing process, but unfortunately they are only capable of slow communication rates.

kanzurejedi are real, han solo said so06:15
kanzureyeah, real-time speech synthesis is a much better idea than the other 1 bit/minute brain-computer interfaces06:16

kanzure"Scientists in China say they are the first to use gene editing to produce customized dogs. They created a beagle with double the amount of muscle mass by deleting a gene called myostatin.

The dogs are being kept at the Guangzhou General Pharmaceutical Research Institute, which says on its website that it breeds more than 2,000 beagles a year for research. Last month, Duanqing Pei, a representative of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, highlighted Lai’s work as part of what he called a large Chinese effort to modify animals using CRISPR. The list of animals already engineered ...06:22

Pei described the efforts as a national scientific priority and part of China’s effort to establish world-class research.

mosasaurare any of you interested in changing world views, or is it just tech, and the expectation that things will work out accordingly to what tech we will have?07:04
fennthe latter07:05
mosasaurI was afraid of that07:05
fennyou can always join zoltan istvan's presidential campaign of course07:05
fennthe problem is that if you just make a bunch of magazine articles nothing actually happens07:06
Aurelius_afkmosasaur : changing world views tends to do nothing but add another flavor to the list, or at best replace one--which is fine07:06
poppingtonicIt's hard enough changing the world-views of dedicated, erstwhile rational scientists who have spent most of their careers on a particular approach, when there are new developments. Try that for genpop.07:07
kanzuremost scientists don't need to have their "views" "changed". don't know what that's about.07:09

fenni'm actually not sure what they have to say about cryo07:11
kanzurefenn: gracefulness of dead bodies, violation of human rights to process deceased tissue, that sort of stuff. boring bullshit.07:11
kanzuremosasaur: well if you are not interested in tech development, #lesswrong might be more your style.07:12
fennhuh?07:12
Aurelius_afkmosasaur : what world views do you want to change07:12
kanzurefenn: most of the complaints from "ethicists" about cryonics are related to "sanctity of the human body" or something.07:12
fennbut that's not ethics at all07:12
Aurelius_afkfeel free to pm, I guess07:12
poppingtonicActually, I've changed my mind on that.07:12

nshSome academics are fighting back against publishers of academic journals by providing copies of papers to researchers who don't have access. For some reason, the publishers aren't happy! Cognitive scientist Andrea Kuszewski said, "Basically you tweet out a link to the paper that you need, with the hashtag and then your email address. And someone will respond to your email and send it to you." That beg11:16
nshins the conversation, and then the scientists cover their tracks: "Once contact is made, all subsequent conversation is kept off of social media — instead, scientists correspond via email. The original tweet is deleted, so there's no public record of the paper changing hands. Kuszewski and others say the method is necessary to get up-to-date research in the hands of academics from developing countri11:16
nshes, and her and other scientists say they consider the pirating 'civil disobedience' against a system that includes for-profit publishing companies."11:16

chris_99nmz787_i, how do you program the proppellers though?11:18
chris_99i mean electronically11:18
kanzureacademic institutionalized science is not going to make progress on the publishing problem until their "career metrics" stuff is solved, until then these other issues will continue to appear11:18
nmz787_ichris_99: super easy, basically like arduino... one file to download and you plug in a serial converter and youre done11:19
nmz787_ichris_99: just USB to serial converter is all11:19
chris_99aha cool11:19
kanzure*facebook11:19
nmz787_ichris_99: the main reason to use the propeller is because you can bit bang the CCD protocol with no worries of doing other stuff in-between signalling the CCD... which add non-determinism or jitter11:20

chris_99yeah, that does make sense11:20
chris_99i'll do some reading on them11:21
nmz787_iI tried doing the CCD protocol with timers and interrupts to change the timers, but a state machine in assembly was easier in the end11:21
nmz787_ithe only thing would be that the code might need tweaked if you're using a different system clock, I think I wrote the code with an 80MHz clock, or maybe it was 96MHz11:21
nmz787_ibut that would just be changing the NOPs I think11:22
chris_99mmm11:22
nmz787_ido you have a scope or logic analyzer?11:22
chris_99i've done VGA timing signals before which was fun heh11:22
chris_99yeah i do11:22
nmz787_iyou'll need one regardless of the CPU to debug11:22
chris_99mmm11:22
nmz787_iI used a 2-channel with external trigger line, so sort of 2.5 channels11:22
chris_99i've got the cheapest rigol 2-channel one11:23
chris_99the one that can be hacked to 100Mhz11:23
nmz787_ibut it would have been a bit more convenient with a 4 channel, as I recall (this use case was actually why I ended up buying a 4 channel)11:23
nmz787_iah yeah, that's the one I was using11:23
nmz787_ihas the trigger BNC on the back11:23
chris_99i'm just wondering, theres some kind of MCU that sort of has something slightly similar to an FPGA11:24

nmz787_ithere are also some with FPGA like logic11:25

nmz787_ibut they're all going to be as much work to get up and running, as it would take to write the code for the ADC11:25

chris_99rather than having to work out exactly how many instructions you need11:29
nmz787_iyeah quite possibly, I mean, from all I know it seems like that would be the case11:31

nmz787_idelinquentme: actually, if the liquid wasn't conductive, and the DNA is also not very conductive (I know it has semiconductor properties), then realistically you probably wouldn't see any current... so you'd need to test impedance instead20:21
nmz787_itreat it like a capacitor that you're trying to determine the capacitance of20:22
nmz787_ierr, well maybe not like a capacitor20:22

kanzureresistance to flash freezing would require perpetual storage of lots of energy ahead of flash freeze events20:46
kanzurebad if accessed too early20:46
kanzurealso: when doing iterative selection on mice for psychometric test result performance, also select for ability of mice to distinguish between brains that are more or less likely to do even better on performance tests. this adds a neural feedback component to the strategy.20:48
kanzure(like based on visual imagery of brain scans or something)20:50

delinquentmenmz787_i, I wonder how they image it at all though if its non-conductive or even semiconductive21:31
delinquentmefrom what I can tell none of the research suggests its bandgap is being addressed21:31
delinquentmeemailed you a pdf nmz78721:32
nmz787_idelinquentme: depends on how you image it22:06
nmz787_idelinquentme: xrays are uncharged for example22:06
nmz787_ithen there's afm, tip-enhanced raman, stm...etc22:07
nmz787_inot to mention electrons in various configurations22:07
nmz787_idelinquentme: recently I was reading about cryo EM tomography22:09
nmz787_ispecifically for DNA22:10
nmz787_idelinquentme: that paper uses dielelectric properties basically, the tip has a charge, and if that charge dissipates or not is sensed, and the difference is seen as the height in the case of (relatively) pure DNA22:16
nmz787_irelative to a cell (they used DNA + ammonium acetate)22:17
nmz787_iso artifacts in the image may actually be chemical differeneces, not just topological22:18
delinquentmeAt the molecular scale all materials become conducting.22:18
delinquentmebruh?22:18
delinquentmei just got this in an email from someone whos solid w STM / AFM imaging22:19
nmz787_iwell their conductance still depends on the molecular structure22:19
delinquentmeso say I have a 512 x 512 sampling density ... I want my raster scan to detect DNA of ~23angstrom22:28
delinquentmewhats the maximum distance I can get between sampling points ... and still detect the DNA?22:29
nmz787wouldn't it be just under 23?22:37
