maakuoh gawd. link?07:53
kanzurei mean the irc channel. no links.07:53
kanzurethe conversation was interesting, because a lot of them already hate me and prefer gwern because they think whether i'm an asshole determines whether i ever have anything worthwhile to say (they are morons)07:54
maakuah07:54
maakuthe irony is wonderful07:54
kanzuretheir arguments included "lol i'm sure he had a good reason"07:54
kanzureand "well, bill gates walk around without getting killed, so this shouldn't be too bad"07:54
kanzureand "are you more qualified than wired.com to make that determination?"07:55
FourFiredamn, now I wish I still ideled in there just s I could have read the logs07:55
maakuthis is great practice problems for #lesswrong : "explain which logical fallacies are being committed here"07:56
FourFireoh well, sunk costs...07:56
kanzureand "you are just an asshole trying to cause drama" was also mentioned07:56

kanzure"well at the end of the article they admit it might be a hoax!" was the stupidest one i think; no, you don't publish something that you are sure is a hoax, without labeling it a hoax. gah.07:57
kanzuretheir response basically discredits them as much as gwern has discredited himself07:59

kanzure10:06 < mrvn> kanzure: I would like it if patents would expire when everybody uses them without getting sued for some time. No sueing years later when the method has become popular.10:06
kanzure10:06 < kanzure> mrvn: so something like, once the patent is used by 20,000 people, the patent should become invalid anyway?10:06
kanzure10:07 < mrvn> kanzure: no. once 10 other companies do the same thing for a year and you didn't sue then it's to late10:07
kanzure10:07 < kanzure> mrvn: i think that might encourage everyone to constantly sue everyone :-)10:07

archelsisn't that part of actual patent legislation in the USA? If you're aware of an infringement but you don't sue, you forego your patent.10:19
caterni think we should shorten patent term lengths every year by the percentage that GDP grew that year10:20
caternto account for the acceleration of growth10:20
kanzurecatern: oh you mean like, "it's important to put a cap on how much progress should be attributed to patents, because otherwise it could end up being too successful and have too many run-away effects". interesting notion.10:26

kanzure"Here, as a proof of concept to address this question, we present the MyConnectome project. An intensive phenome-wide assessment of a single human was performed over a period of 18 months, including functional and structural brain connectivity using magnetic resonance imaging, psychological function and physical health, gene expression and metabolomics. A reproducible analysis workflow is provided, along with open access to the data ...10:39
kanzure... and an online browser for results. We demonstrate dynamic changes in brain connectivity over the timescales of days to months, and relations between brain connectivity, gene expression and metabolites."10:39

nmz787_i" For instance, in MOSFET processes, thermal oxidation is never performed after the doping for the source and drain terminals is performed, because it would disturb the placement of the dopants."10:40
kanzure"Even in the cases where we've done the most scans of a single brain, we're talking a few measurements separated by weeks, months or even years. As a result, we don't even know what's normal in terms of day-to-day variation. Russ's project won't tell us what's normal, because it's just one brain, but I think it'll give us a sense of what's possible. We'll see the day-to-day fluctuation, see what kind of variability there is."10:40

Aurelius_Work2oh, sure12:57
Aurelius_Work2there's ways to improve it12:57

kanzurethat takes considerably less time12:58

berndjwhy is freezing even relevant to immortality?20:12
berndjis it more than just a bridge from today-we-don't-know-how-to-cure-X to tomorrow-we-know-how-to-cure-X?20:12
kanzureberndj: immortality is not just about being awake for the whole time20:13
kanzureyes it could conceivably be used for bridging reasons20:13
berndjhenrietta lacks might be close to immortal but she isn't benefiting from it in any way i particularly want to emulate20:13
kanzurehuh? like, if you were cryopreserved, you wouldn't also want to have people playing around with your cell lines?20:14
justanotheruserkanzure: The two parameters accomplish different things. With a lower fertility age, you will have more relevant mutations. Same with a large population. However if you have a large enough population to get a relevant mutation everyone one or two generations, then your bottleneck is the fertility age.20:15
kanzurelower fertility age would have more relevant mutations? huh? you could control for mutation rate by somatic cell nuclear transfer and in vitro fertilization of mutated genomes.20:16
berndjkanzure: i mean that henrietta lacks satisfies the "immortality" criterion in some sense, but it isn't a meaningful immortality. she isn't conscious to experience it20:16
justanotheruserno, it wouldn't have more relevant mutations, you would be able to improve upon the mutations faster20:16
berndjsimilarly, frozen people don't get to consciously experience their immortality20:16
kanzurejustanotheruser: dna sequencing, dna extraction, site-directed mutagenesis, and other forms of mutagenesis, are all important techniques that can be used to accelerate that sort of project20:16
kanzureberndj: oh, well first of all i don't care about consciousness, i don't think i have consciousness so it's not something i need to account for20:17
justanotheruserI assumed that was all automated and not a big amount of time spent20:17
kanzurehm?20:17

Diablo-D3transhumanism cannot exist because humanity is inclusive, not exclusive22:36
doclmarketing22:36
Diablo-D3all "post-humans" are still humans.22:36
kanzureDiablo-D3: if words have no meaning to you, then get the hell out. (i'm serious; we don't tolerate meaninglessness in here)22:36
Diablo-D3kanzure: uh, this is what Ive been telling people for years22:36
Diablo-D3for some reason they dont go away.22:36
kanzurere: anti-yudkowsky; "he is not in the habit of carefully exploring alternative views to his own (instead he ridicules them without attempting to understand them); he seems to write as if both his deductions and assumptions are obvious rather than question them; he almost never tackles more current actual philosophical ideas (rather than occasionally paint them in an "obviously" ridiculous light by completely misunderstanding them); ...22:37
kanzure... most importantly, he seems to present a definitive answer after definitive answer rather than seriously and systematically explore questions. That is not to say that I don't occasionally agree with his conclusions, but his process lacks the originality and constant self-doubt that makes philosophy so entertaining and interesting. Instead, it offers dismissal or certainty -- stuff that may make religion or blog posts entertaining. ...22:37
kanzure... But that's not philosophy."22:37
kanzure"The best defense of Singulitarianism is the "but what if you're wrong" kind of betting. Because their imagined doom scenario is so extremely unimaginably bad, they argue that they can get away with little proof, since multiplying the huge disaster with a little probability still gives a large expected risk. They like to say "shut up and multiply" as a slogan for this, i.e. multiply probability and outcome to get the expectation. He ...22:37
kanzure... lays the groundwork and path for this such that if you gradually get into his system, he can take you in the woods without you noticing. It's no less than a panic-inducing mind virus."22:37
Diablo-D3Heh22:38
Diablo-D3I wonder why the myth of the Singularity ever took off22:38
kanzurei have recently taken to instead saying "well impossibly-effective ai that can destroy the universe no matter what times infinity, is simply not something that could reasonably be in anyone's threat model by definition"22:38
kanzurewhoops i don't mean impossibly-effective22:38
kanzure*extremely-effective22:38
Diablo-D3Well heres another problem, kanzure22:38
Diablo-D3have we for certain proved time travel doesnt exist?22:38
kanzurei'm also still surprised that singinst is not a militant activist group to go blow up ai research labs22:39
kanzureDiablo-D3: huh? we know that forward time travel exists. what are you talking about?22:39
Diablo-D3kanzure: the normal kind.22:39
kanzurewhich one is that?22:39
Diablo-D3backwards.22:39

kanzurewell, i did see one theory from lee smolin about a way to do "backwardS" time travel, but it wouldn't really be backwards, it would just be setting up initial conditions to be slightly different. and of course this was all extremely speculative and useless.22:41
Diablo-D3well what Im saying is22:41
kanzure*"backwards"22:41
Diablo-D3if theres even a tiny teeny almost impossible chance22:41
Diablo-D3that it works22:41
Diablo-D3and the future is a bad AI future22:41
kanzurei don't care22:41
Diablo-D3it would have already traveled back in time to establish itself at an earlier period.22:41
kanzurethat's not necessarily true; you can be really clever and still not explore the entire cognitive state space. there is way more cognitive state space than could ever be explored by available energy in the universe.22:42
Diablo-D3I dunno, I'm just trying to figure out why a bad AI future is so bad22:43
Diablo-D3I mean, lets say we go and do that22:45
kanzurei think the worst outcome would be an unstable ai that replaces the galaxy with computronium, and then crashes. that would be unfortunate. would be better to have something that doesn't die so soon after replacing biological life with computronium.22:45
Diablo-D3Yeah22:45
Diablo-D3I mean if we fuck up22:45
Diablo-D3then we fuck up22:45
kanzurei am not particularly concerned about the replacement part. it makes sense that there should be some level of capability/ability where biological matter gets replaced with some other more useful arrangement of atoms.22:46
Diablo-D3yeah but22:46
Diablo-D3why are we even differing the two22:46
Diablo-D3kanzure: like the way I see it is22:47
Diablo-D3whatever "replaces" biological life22:47
Diablo-D3if that is the kind of future we get22:47
Diablo-D3is going to be very unlike anything we've ever seen before22:48
Diablo-D3I'm not convinced the future will be dominated by non-biological life22:48
kanzurei was using "replacement" as short-hand for "reallocated for other purposes unrelated to you". i am not talking about non-biological life.22:48
Diablo-D3ahh22:48
Diablo-D3Still, some people think thats a possible future22:48
Diablo-D3I'm not convinced it works22:48

Diablo-D3kanzure: I dunno22:50
Diablo-D3I've followed a lot of this stuff for awhile22:50
Diablo-D3and I think most of what people think is just full of shit22:50
Diablo-D3the future is not going to be anywhere as near as cool or awesome or whatever as most people think22:51
Diablo-D3its going to be boring22:52
Diablo-D3kanzure: like, even computronium22:53
Diablo-D3whats the chances of that ever actually existing in the future22:53
doclDiablo-D3: any thoughts on disassembling planets using self replicating robots, and that sort of thing22:53
Diablo-D3docl: unlikely22:53
Diablo-D3it just sounds too cool.22:54
docllol22:54
Diablo-D3Seriously, I have a rule22:56
Diablo-D3if it sounds cool, it'll probably never happen22:56
-!- omanomanooer [~omanomano@unaffiliated/omanomanooer] has quit [Quit: Leaving]22:56
Diablo-D3and if it does happen, it was by complete accident22:56
doclI wonder if there's a specific neurological cause of people not accepting ideas that are too cool? maybe it's superstimulus fatigue or somthing like that.22:57
Diablo-D3maybe.22:57
Diablo-D3Like, wheres my flying cars22:57
Diablo-D3or useful AI22:57
Diablo-D3or the end of wars22:57
Diablo-D3or a mars colony22:57
Diablo-D3or the cure for simple things like cancer22:58
Diablo-D3or the US transitioning to a post-socialist system that values personal growth over wealth22:58
Diablo-D3or me personally ever getting fast internet22:58
kanzurehave you tried moving22:59
Diablo-D3kanzure: costs money22:59
doclsee all that stuff seems less likely than disassembling a planet with self replicating robots. at least, until after you disassemble planets and make stupendously powerful computers with them and brute-force the problems. gotta put the horse before the cart to get anything done.23:00
Diablo-D3docl: or hell23:00
Diablo-D3jupiter brains23:00
doclyeah23:00
Diablo-D3whats the chances of THAT happening23:00
doclstart with one (1) space-based replicator. it'll happen.23:01
docldoesn't even have to be a nano replicator. a humongous clanker works fine, although you want a year or less for the replication time ideally.23:04
Diablo-D3dear god23:05
Diablo-D3imagine if it tries to replicate in winter23:05
Diablo-D3it'll _never_ get done23:05
