| maaku | FourFire: hahahahahaah. you are for sure from scandinavia | 05:15 |
| maaku | "under 10Mbit/s is considered slow" <--- good luck getting that in *sililcion valley* of all places | 05:16 |
| FourFire | maaku, why is 10MBit/s fast? | 05:16 |
| maaku | realistically 3-6Mbps is the best you can hope for in some relatively developed suburban areas | 05:17 |
| FourFire | seriously, doesn't google fiber exist? | 05:17 |
| maaku | in Kansas | 05:17 |
| maaku | no, I used to live close enough to see the Google campus from the roof of my building. no google fiber. | 05:17 |
| maaku | if theyve deployed it, it beats me where | 05:17 |
| FourFire | Yeah, but all the important places where stuff gets done, like universities have decent internet right? | 05:18 |
| maaku | the plus side of being in california is sub-ms latency to most services however | 05:18 |
| FourFire | It seems so paradoxal that that country can have made so much progress for the world and still be so backwards :s | 05:18 |
| maaku | FourFire: oh yeah of course. universities have their own dark fiber internet network | 05:18 |
| maaku | FourFire: US of A is a big place | 05:19 |
| FourFire | Yep | 05:19 |
| maaku | also, entrenched interests ... we got the internet first, and those infrastructure companies have had a monopoly since. they don't profit from infrastructure improvements. more bandwidth = more costs for them | 05:19 |
| JayDugger | Maaku has it right. USA is large and has low "overall" population density. | 05:20 |
| rhaps0dy | >sub-ms latency | 05:21 |
| rhaps0dy | Damn. | 05:21 |
| maaku | then again my coworker is in downtown SF and gets uncapped 500Mbps symmetric (1Gbps total) ... so there's a lot of variance | 05:23 |
| maaku | if you have cable you can get much faster service, but are sharing a line with a whole city block, so it depends on how much of a data hog your neighbors are | 05:23 |
| maaku | i wouldn't want to be my neighbors | 05:24 |
| JayDugger | The distribution is very uneven, as maaku says. | 05:25 |
| Viper168 | yeah I try not to be an asshole but that bandwidth would be mien | 05:25 |
| Viper168 | all mien | 05:25 |
| JayDugger | That would be up to your ISP in practice. Being the first kid on your block means it is all yours, but not after everyone else signs up. | 05:26 |

| yoleaux | United States: population density: 35.2 people per square kilometer (world rank: 179th) (2015 estimate); Unit conversions: 3.52×10⁻⁵ people per square meter; 91.1 people per square mile; Corresponding quantity: Area per person:: 0.011 square miles per person: 306000 square feet per person | 05:28 |
| JayDugger | (WA sources that from the UN and the CIA.) | 05:28 |
| JayDugger | (Varies from 9600 persons/ mile^2 to 1.1 persons / mile^2). | 05:30 |
| FourFire | are these in any way useful: http://i.imgur.com/KYRCr5H.webm ? | 05:30 |
| FourFire | I imagine being able to input more torque converted into more speed would be nice, but I'm uncertain | 05:31 |
| JayDugger | That looks as if it would handle hills poorly. | 05:31 |

| kanzure | a "magic bullet / silver bullet ai with unlimited intelligence or unlimited power to transform the universe against your will" should be considered unaddressable by threat modeling because the scenario says the definition is an an unlimited (and unlimitable) threat. proposing a mathematical approach to "friendliness" doesn't make the threat suddenly addressable, even when applied voluntarily by some developer to his ai work. i suspect ... | 09:13 |
| kanzure | ... that pervasive surveillance and world domination might reduce the likelihood of local development of ai, but even pervasive global surveillance has a non-zero failure rate (or, forms with zero failure would require world-dominating agi anyway, by which point you're back to the other (first) kind of failure mode) -- and pervasive surveillance happens to be a threat that not only is hindered by physics (difficulty of seeing ... | 09:13 |
| kanzure | ... everything) but happens to be something that we can actually counteract in our threat models, unlike the unlimited threat definition. | 09:13 |

| kanzure | there can't be unlimitedly-powerful unlimitedly-invulnerable defense to unlimitedly-powerful unlimitedly-invulnerable threats (otherwise it's nonsense because unlimited/invulnerable becomes meaningless). | 09:50 |
| kanzure | purpose of threat modeling has never been to offer (unlimited) level of reliability or service. high levels of (even exponentially increasing) reliability can be achieved but not provably-unlimited (even post-facto knowledge would not be enough to know whether it was unlimited). their argument next is often "well, we should achieve a mandatory global moratorium on unfriendly ai development, with extremely low moratorium failure rate" ... | 10:04 |
| kanzure | ... (but technically all limited versions of friendliness are going to be vulnerable to unlimited threats, including those that arise from the moratorium's non-zero failure rate). next argument i remember was "well, it might buy us a few hundred years" but i'm not convinced that "unlimited threats vs. unlimited defense" is going to suddenly become meaningful in those ~200 years. | 10:04 |
| kanzure | also, security is not about invulnerable unlimited adversaries | 10:04 |
| -!- enkiv2 [~john@c-24-60-31-0.hsd1.nh.comcast.net] has joined ##hplusroadmap | 10:05 | |
| kanzure | voluntary moratoriums give false sense of security because moratorium participants can't guarantee "friendliness integrity" of a voluntary moratorium (it will fail when attacked (or even infected) by non-moratorium-developed unfriendly ai). | 10:17 |
| kanzure | convincing everyone on earth to voluntarily join the moratorium can't work by definition, because joining has nothing to do with whether the members are actually-friendly or actually-unfriendly (e.g. same reason why limited-friendliness turns out to be technically unfriendly). | 10:18 |
| kanzure | also, strangely enough i think a belief about friendliness would betray the privacy of someone's belief about ability to bootstrap unlimited ability from limited ability. this isn't really important, but is a curious thing to note. | 10:19 |

| Diablo-D3 | what are we discussing? | 10:35 |
| poppingtonic | how are the assumptions of decision procedures and agent behaviour incorrect? | 10:36 |
| kanzure | re: unlimited-defense-first scenarios; 1) fails the reasonability test (can't have unlimited defense against unlimited threats), and 2) in absence of unlimited defense, an extremely low but still positive failure rate (failure as in, unfriendly ai takeoff) at best can postpone but cannot eliminate. | 10:38 |
| kanzure | actually the metaphysics around origins of unlimited-invulnerability are quite strange in this headspace (specifically, you can (supposedly) have unlimited-defense-first bootstrapping on its own but for some reason an unlimited-threat cannot still bootstrap itself? must not have been unlimited then, huh.) | 10:38 |
| kanzure | re: limited-defense-first scenarios: see again "can postpone but cannot eliminate" because unlimited-threat definition is stronger. | 10:38 |
| kanzure | Diablo-D3: eh i am just writing down some criticism against eliezer yudkowsky's brand of singularitarianism | 10:39 |

| kanzure | re: "we should postpone as long as humanly possible, and we should get everyone to agree to this"- this is the same thing as the voluntary moratorium argument. and involuntarily moratorium (like through enforcement by unlimited-defense-first (friendly-and-is-first) ai) is rejected by the unlimited-defense-first counterargument above. ((often there have been arguments like "well you wont get friendliness right the first time when ... | 10:43 |
| kanzure | ... deploying it!!11one" but i have chosen not to bring that up because better to assume that both sides really do mean friendliness in the argument)) | 10:44 |

| kanzure | voluntary moratorium to postpone takeoff has lots of high costs around restriction of technology development and everyone wasting all their time trying to convince everyone to please don't open the box (or whatever the metaphor is these days), i strongly doubt "if we all believe hard enough, none of us will choose to move forward with creating unfriendly ai", especially since unfriendly ai is easier/cheaper to achieve than friendly ai ... | 10:52 |

| Diablo-D3 | see | 10:53 |
| Diablo-D3 | Im of the camp that doesn't 100% believe in the singularity | 10:53 |
| pompolic | is it probable someone would break such moratorium just to prove a point | 10:54 |
| kanzure | Diablo-D3: i have no clue what that means. what would it mean if you did or did not "believe in a singularity"? | 10:55 |
| poppingtonic | what's the observable consequence of that belief? | 10:55 |
| Diablo-D3 | kanzure: has it been 100% proven that such a thing will occur | 10:56 |
| Diablo-D3 | anything that could be possibly described as the singularity | 10:56 |
| Diablo-D3 | (since no one even agrees on what it'll look like, just that when it happens, we'll know) | 10:57 |
| kanzure | i have no idea what you are trying to say. | 10:57 |
| kanzure | are you trying to say that recursive improvement is unlikely, impossible, or that a singularity is unrelated? | 10:58 |
| Diablo-D3 | I'm saying I'm unconvinced there is a singularity, but not saying its impossible | 10:58 |
| Diablo-D3 | it is more likely that humanity continues to travel on the same path it has over the past twenty thousand years | 10:59 |
| kanzure | so there are paths now? | 10:59 |
| kanzure | a singularity doesn't necessarily have anything to do with humanity. | 10:59 |
| Diablo-D3 | well, everyone writes about the singularity as if its some technological thing that fundamentally changes what it means to be human | 11:00 |
| Diablo-D3 | and I'm not convinced such a thing will exist | 11:00 |
| kanzure | sounds like nonsense | 11:00 |

| kanzure | there is no reason for you to be convinced if you believe the definition of a singularity is "fundamentally change what it means to be human" | 11:04 |
| kanzure | it's the wrong definition; if you were convinced, that would be even more alarming. | 11:04 |
| kanzure | *even more alarming to me. | 11:04 |
| kanzure | *convinced (by that definition), | 11:05 |
| Diablo-D3 | Well, you cant really say its the wrong definition. It is the popular definition, and the one most people use. | 11:05 |
| Diablo-D3 | I blame people like Kurzweil for that kind of thinking | 11:06 |
| Diablo-D3 | kanzure: how much scifi have you actually read? | 11:07 |
| Diablo-D3 | Its always some unlikely thing, like true AI being invented within the next 100 years, or death being cured in the next 100 years | 11:07 |
| kanzure | the "popular" definition is about recursive improvement takeoff, not about "fundamentally change what it means to be human" | 11:08 |
| Diablo-D3 | And then it just becomes some exploration about the sociopolitical implications of such a thing | 11:08 |
| Diablo-D3 | kanzure: not really | 11:08 |
| Diablo-D3 | thats the less popular definition. | 11:08 |
| kanzure | damn you tricked me into talking about populists | 11:09 |
| kanzure | i don't care about populists | 11:10 |
| Diablo-D3 | kanzure: You know what I think? | 11:10 |
| kanzure | i don't care if you are unconvinced by populist noise. why should i care about that? | 11:10 |
| Diablo-D3 | If the singularity is going to happen, it already happened. | 11:10 |
| kanzure | you are astonishingly hard to talk with | 11:10 |
| * Diablo-D3 shrugs | 11:11 | |
| kanzure | so far the story from you is "so i heard this popular definition of a word you are using, and i wasn't convinced by it, isn't that surprising and interesting and stuff" and the answer is no- there are many misunderstandings that people have about lots of things, and i have no interest in enumerating all of their variations. additionally, this particular misunderstanding of a singularity does not seem to be accidentally insightful or ... | 11:12 |
| kanzure | ... anything, it just seems to be a vanilla misunderstanding that doesn't help me at all. | 11:12 |
| poppingtonic | let's taboo the word "singularity" for now and use something actually descriptive and analytical. The process under discussion right now is an AI that can analyze its own decision procedures, and discover ways to improve them, while still retaining its goal content, or the integrity of the process that maintains its goals. | 11:13 |
| Diablo-D3 | poppingtonic: that'd be useful | 11:13 |
| Diablo-D3 | singularity is like "the cloud", but for futurists | 11:13 |
| kanzure | cloud refers to generic commoditization of increasingly-easier provisioned remote computation (and sometimes it refers to the interface to generic commodity computation, in which case it can be a "local cloud", but this becomes increasingly meaningless as you reduce the number of machines). | 11:15 |
| Diablo-D3 | kanzure: "kind of" | 11:16 |
| kanzure | *increasingly-easily provisioned | 11:16 |
| Diablo-D3 | things like clusters have well defined meanings | 11:16 |
| Diablo-D3 | but many companies try to use them to mean "highly available shared nothing cluster" | 11:17 |
| Diablo-D3 | when most "clouds" are anything but, including the products offered by the companies that try to confuse the costumer into thinking thats what it means | 11:17 |
| streety | or any service that isn't desktop based | 11:17 |
| kanzure | the existence of people misusing words does not mean that words are meaningless | 11:17 |
| Diablo-D3 | kanzure: I work in this industry, trust me, it has zero meaning | 11:18 |
| kanzure | *especially* after i have given you an exact definition | 11:18 |
| kanzure | and so has poppingtonic | 11:18 |
| Diablo-D3 | Yes, and neither of them are industry standard definitions. | 11:18 |
| kanzure | Diablo-D3: dude seriously, don't turn this into a dick measuring contest. i too have worked for many of the cloudiest cloudy initiatives. | 11:18 |
| Diablo-D3 | I mean, your definition basically means I can start including bare metal as a cloud service | 11:19 |
| kanzure | ((in particular most recently i was unfortunately involved in saas for the live migration of physical and virtual machines from datacenters to 20-30 different clouds. lots of api headaches as you can imagine. i wanted to use libcloud but had to reimplement everything and more.)) | 11:19 |
| kanzure | s/live/not-quite-live | 11:20 |
| Diablo-D3 | My condolences | 11:20 |
| kanzure | all cloud services *do* use bare metal. it's not running on hot air. | 11:20 |
| Diablo-D3 | What I meant was, the actual provisioning of bare metal for the customer | 11:20 |
| kanzure | well it is using hot air, technically. but you know what i meant. | 11:20 |
| Diablo-D3 | As in, the customer buying a dedi | 11:20 |
| kanzure | technically aws does let you provision dedicated boxen in their cloud, now | 11:21 |
| Diablo-D3 | Yeah, wtf is with that | 11:21 |
| Diablo-D3 | Is it just a single VM under a hypervisor? | 11:21 |
| Diablo-D3 | There is no way in hell thats real bare metal, AWS simply doesn't work that way | 11:21 |
| Diablo-D3 | *especially* for the prices they're charging for that | 11:21 |
| kanzure | http://www.coresite.com/solutions/interconnection/amazon-web-services-direct-connect | 11:21 |
| kanzure | "You can procure rack space within the facility housing the AWS Direct Connect location and deploy your equipment nearby. However, AWS customer equipment cannot be placed within AWS Direct Connect racks or cage areas for security reasons." | 11:22 |
| Diablo-D3 | .... | 11:23 |
| kanzure | from https://aws.amazon.com/directconnect/faqs/ | 11:23 |
| Diablo-D3 | What the fuck. | 11:23 |
| Diablo-D3 | Okay, so, I can get private transit into an AWS DC to connect to AWS services?! | 11:24 |
| poppingtonic | Diablo-D3: right now, the sub-problem of that problem that is under investigation is the problem of reflectivity in arithmetic systems. There are a number of impossibility theorems preventing this, like Lob's theorem, which states that Peano Arithmetic (or any system that in any way encodes rules that enable Peano-like numbers) cannot assert its own soundness. | 11:25 |

| bjonnh | that's not really far from that yes | 16:46 |

| CautiousNarwhal | both very interesting reads | 17:06 |
| Proteus | These are the kinds of methodological refinements we need to improve the signal to noise ratio of bioprospecting | 17:07 |

| bjonnh | yeah same for me | 17:14 |
| bjonnh | my problem here is that they are trying to infer properties from an already described model | 17:16 |

| Proteus | kanzure: that's an unusual definition for 'nootropics.' That's kind of like saying you haven't created artificial intelligence until the intelligence you create invents something smarter than you. | 17:32 |
| kanzure | no, i clearly said at least an equal-level nootropic | 17:35 |
| Proteus | bjonnh: lol, I suppose there is a lot of jargon. Though in this case it seems less like deliberate attempt to obfuscate and more just the unavoidable consequence of needing to combine tools from the jargon-heavy disciplines of topology, computer science, and molecular biology. | 17:35 |
| kanzure | the actual nootropic impact required to make anything remotely resembling a nootropic is actually quite low... some basic chemistry, maybe some gene expression knowledge, there's not much here yo. | 17:36 |
| Proteus | kanzure: perhaps I'm misunderstanding - do you have a word you'd prefer to use for something that simply improves normal function above baseline? It just seems like you're setting a very high bar - or perhaps it's not you and I'm simply unfamiliar with the etymology of 'nootropic' | 17:36 |
| kanzure | i'm not convinced it's that high | 17:36 |
| kanzure | clearly we have people running around- without nootropics- creating small molecules that seem to have a beneficial impact (you could claim this is unrelated to the people's intelligence or whatever, which would be fair, except that people are definitely required to actually manufacture and design those drugs anyway, even if the small molecules are from prehistoric knowledge or whatever euphemism of the day is prevalent) | 17:37 |
| bjonnh | Proteus: well I'm wondering… I've seen really really complex papers, and references to the basic pieces were there | 17:37 |
| bjonnh | Proteus: you may be interested looking to the firn references in the j med chem paper | 17:39 |
| bjonnh | in term of evolution and robustness this is interesting | 17:40 |
| Proteus | out of the 123 mentioned are there any in particular you'd recommend? | 17:42 |
| Proteus | oh | 17:44 |
| Proteus | firn | 17:44 |
| bjonnh | yes | 17:45 |
| bjonnh | clearly | 17:45 |
| Proteus | it's an odd name and my brain just filtered it out as a typo | 17:46 |
| bjonnh | I really have doubts about this paper | 17:50 |
| bjonnh | this network is made from signaling pathways | 17:50 |
| bjonnh | of course they are more known if you have drugs acting on them | 17:52 |
| bjonnh | and the opposite is true too | 17:52 |
| bjonnh | and new drugs are likely to target new pathways, because the other ones already have drugs targetting them | 17:53 |
| bjonnh | we usually don't need more "potent" drugs for most of the known pathways | 17:53 |
| bjonnh | also drugs are usually developped using animals | 17:54 |
| bjonnh | meaning that the pathways should be present in them too | 17:54 |
| bjonnh | meaning that if we have them and animals have them, they are more highly conserved | 17:55 |
| bjonnh | and this paper tend to show the opposite | 17:56 |
| CautiousNarwhal | bjonnh which paper are you referring there? | 17:58 |
| Proteus | CautiousNarwhal: http://journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/article?id=10.1371/journal.pcbi.1003763 | 17:58 |

| Diablo-D3 | http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21784145 | 18:09 |
| Proteus | bjonnh: one thing I do notice is this sentence: "The attractor landscape of the original network and that of the evolvable core are very similar despite the fact that the evolvable core was obtained by removing edges whose deletion did not change the landscape of the primary attractor only." | 18:10 |
| bjonnh | Proteus: I'm looking at it from the drug side | 18:10 |
| Diablo-D3 | like that study is about taking ~2100mg of EPA and ~350mg of DHA daily to reduce anxiety | 18:10 |
| Proteus | I'm looking for how they went about this analytically | 18:11 |
| bjonnh | Proteus: yeah this look more and more suspicious the more I read it | 18:11 |
| Proteus | figuring out the determinative power of each node and deleting the maximum number of nodes without altering the attractor landscape or system behavior is a tricky problem. | 18:12 |

| Proteus | well, ok, I guess if you're just looking at what doesn't alter attractors maybe it's easier. I'd like to see them find ergodic sets within the network and look at what relationships those have to the 'robust neighbors' | 18:14 |
| kanzure | "To continue with my theme about the bias towards action, I would note the following. Suppose that one periodically samples a random variable to decide whether the correct action is to leave some situation alone, or to intervene. Assuming that one continues sampling after getting back "do nothing", but that an "intervene" decision is final, it should be clear that "intervene" will always win eventually, if the random variable has even ... | 18:14 |
| kanzure | ... a tiny probability of coming up "intervene", even if the vast majority of the probability mass is on "do nothing". So in light of that, if one is going to continue to stand around and talk about intervening, one should probably bias further and further away from intervening as time passes, to account for the fact that eventually the coin will come up "intervene" through bad luck no matter what the correct decision is." | 18:14 |
| kanzure | from http://lesswrong.com/lw/n0l/lesswrong_20/ | 18:15 |

| Proteus | oddly enough I know some of the people who wrote that one | 18:16 |

| Proteus | I think a few things are potentially going on. 1) The community capable of combining these tools to do this work is really damn tiny. 2) mathematicians aren't always good at understanding the limitations of their models when dealing with the messy complexity of biology. Perhaps their desire for elegance and lack of experience with biological datasets biased them toward overly strong conclusions. 3) They had this really cool insight into signal | 18:20 |
| Proteus | Honestly, when I came across it I was far more intrigued in the ability to think about distinct evolvable/robust subsets of the network | 18:21 |

| xentrac | so an interesting thing about topology optimization | 18:46 |
| kanzure | .title | 18:46 |
| xentrac | the main topopt dude, ole whatzisname, is doing things like heatsink design | 18:46 |
| yoleaux | Discovery of a kernel for controlling biomolecular regulatory networks : Scientific Reports | 18:46 |
| xentrac | thermodynamic and CFD FEM simulation in order to develop heatsinks that transfer heat to a cooler environment more efficiently | 18:47 |
| Proteus | again, I wish they'd also taken an analytical approach and looked at ergodic sets within the network and looked at how those overlapped with the 'control kernel' they found using GAs | 18:47 |
| xentrac | also fluidic valves, stuff like that | 18:47 |
| xentrac | the heatsinks kind of look like coral | 18:47 |
| kanzure | xentrac: i was once working for someone that was doing shape graph grammar transformations and genetic algorithm things (or A* search?) for heat sink optimization, i think. | 18:48 |
| kanzure | hm wait. i might be wrong. | 18:49 |
| -!- Viper168 [~Viper@unaffiliated/viper168] has quit [Ping timeout: 256 seconds] | 18:49 | |
| Proteus | A* search for heatsink optimization? I'm trying to imagine what that would entail..... | 18:49 |
| kanzure | Proteus: over design space | 18:49 |
| kanzure | oh hm this one is new, | 18:50 |
| kanzure | "Layout synthesis of fluid channels using generative graph grammars" http://ir.library.oregonstate.edu/xmlui/bitstream/handle/1957/55536/CampbellMatthewMIMELayoutSynthesisFluid.pdf?sequence=4 | 18:50 |
| kanzure | so that one uses CFD but uh, i'm sure you can pretend really hard that it's FEA or heat transfer analysis | 18:51 |
| bjonnh | I wonder if a multicell organism could be used to design such an heatsink | 18:52 |
| xentrac | FEA is one way to do CFD | 18:52 |
| kanzure | huh he is using parasolid and openfoam. glad he gave up on opencascade. | 18:52 |
| xentrac | the topopt guy is generating his topologies in a much simpler way | 18:52 |
| kanzure | oh sure, generative grammar is sort of overkill in a few cases | 18:52 |
| xentrac | it probably allows you to scale to more complex systems | 18:53 |
| xentrac | the topopt dude is using hundreds of CPU-years for what seem like relatively simple problems | 18:53 |
| kanzure | "just enumerate all the possibilities, you have time for that, right?" | 18:53 |
| gene_hacker | oh hey | 18:53 |
| gene_hacker | the knowledge engineering paper | 18:54 |
| gene_hacker | they also did tensegrity structures | 18:54 |
| gene_hacker | that wasn't matt | 18:54 |
| gene_hacker | that was a grad student and parasolid has been given up.... | 18:54 |
| kanzure | parasolid was wonky? | 18:55 |
| xentrac | well, he's defined his design space to have hundreds of thousands of dimensions | 18:55 |
| xentrac | so as far as I can tell he's just doing gradient optimgdescent | 18:55 |
| bjonnh | was he able to make it? | 18:56 |
| kanzure | gene_hacker: the thing that xentrac is looking at is http://ewp.rpi.edu/hartford/~ernesto/SPR/Thomas-FinalReport.pdf | 18:57 |

| gene_hacker | so what's the thing that took hundreds of CPU hours for topopt? | 18:59 |
| gene_hacker | topopt like 2d stuff is fast, you can do it in real time almost | 18:59 |
| gene_hacker | 3d even | 18:59 |
| kanzure | you could probably do some gpu acceleration i guess | 19:00 |
| gene_hacker | for optimization of solid single material structures minimizing displacement you can do it in realtime | 19:01 |

| kanzure | xentrac: ^ | 19:04 |
| Proteus | I'm looking through those Frin papers you pointed out. Interesting stuff. I wish there was a well-organized and updated collection of 'how to think about why biological systems look the way they do' papers like this. | 19:06 |
| bjonnh | unfortunately he died some years ago | 19:07 |
| bjonnh | and jones doesn't seem to really follow-up on that | 19:07 |
| Proteus | bjonnh et. al: I stumbled on this recently, looks a bit intriguing http://www.nature.com/mp/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/mp2015178a.html | 19:09 |
| bjonnh | Proteus: a pill that can cure them all | 19:11 |
| Proteus | my understanding of the background is that darpa funded a group that just screened compounds for increased hippocampal neurogenesis to see if that approach would be more successful in finding drugs to improve depression/memory | 19:13 |
| bjonnh | at least this one seems to promote this neurogenesis | 19:15 |
| Proteus | yeah, like I said, it's intriguing. Phase 1b results don't mean a whole lot though. Nice to see that it appears to be relatively well tolerated. | 19:16 |
| xentrac | I was actually thinking of a video Ole whatzisname did that I watched the other night, kanzure | 19:25 |
| xentrac | I think Thomas-FinalReport is just about minimal-compliance bracket design in 2D | 19:26 |

| maaku | kanzure: looks like an empty channel | 19:30 |
| xentrac | I'm not even totally clear on what "compliance" is; is it just spring rate under the load they're optimizing for? or is it something more interesting, like spring energy capacity? | 19:31 |
| xentrac | oh, yes, it's spring rate. or rather its reciprocal | 19:32 |
| xentrac | this is related to what fenn and I were talking about the other night: you would think topopt would find and exploit antispring structures in order to produce giant stiffness if that is actually a thing you can do | 19:32 |
| xentrac | but it might also be the case that the relatively simple optimization procedures people typically use (as gene_hacker points out, you can do 2D topopt for stiffness in real time) won't explore enough of the design space to find weird things like antisprings | 19:36 |
| gene_hacker | and 3d | 19:36 |
| xentrac | I didn't know that about 3D; maybe if your grid size is relatively coarse? | 19:41 |
| gene_hacker | I'll have to find the program that does that | 19:41 |
| xentrac | I watched a Midas NFX walkthrough of topopt (for compliance) this morning and it was pretty far from real time on the presenter's computer | 19:42 |
| gene_hacker | I think this is it http://www.topopt.dtu.dk/?q=node/903 | 19:42 |
| xentrac | like, not only was it not 60fps, it was slow enough that instead of letting it finish, he canceled the process and loaded a precomputed result | 19:42 |
| xentrac | but maybe NFX's topopt implementation is inefficient | 19:43 |
| maaku | JayDugger: was making a technical joke... in a ring circuit like cable, the first person in the chain could exhaust all available bandwidth and there's nothing later nodes can do (except fight back by causing interferrance) | 19:44 |
| gene_hacker | well when I played around with topology optimization in ansys, it did not take a crazy long time | 19:44 |
| xentrac | it seems like the kind of thing that you could throw an arbitrarily large amount of computation time at in order to get a marginally better result | 19:45 |
| xentrac | but that's probably a bad default for prepackaged software | 19:46 |
| gene_hacker | ok yeah, I guess the above is pretty coarse | 19:46 |
| xentrac | I have no experience with ansys | 19:46 |
| maaku | Diablo-D3: Yudkowsky is a Luddite disguised as a transhumanist | 19:47 |
| xentrac | the page shows that it's a bit coarse and also claims that it's slow enough that you can watch the evolution toward the optimum | 19:47 |
| maaku | and unfortunately he's been able to rabble-rouse luddite mobs on occation, although his influence seems to be waning | 19:47 |
| Diablo-D3 | maaku: I dunno, I was exposed to him as the author of hpmor | 19:47 |
| Diablo-D3 | thats all Ill probably ever see him as | 19:47 |
| Diablo-D3 | the rest of his fiction is pretty boring | 19:47 |
| maaku | Diablo-D3: cool. it's probably best if you restrict your knowledge of his writing to HPMoR | 19:49 |

| Diablo-D3 | I'm not convinced humanity should continue to exist with behavior like that | 19:57 |
| Diablo-D3 | And given our self-destructive nature, that problem may actually go and solve itself in the next 40 years. | 19:57 |

| bjonnh | kanzure: does that go to a db? | 21:11 |
| AdrianG | lets see how well it does in the real world. | 21:14 |
| AdrianG | hopefully would be a nice change from SSRIs | 21:14 |
| AdrianG | Diablo-D3: low triple digit trillions? | 21:15 |
| AdrianG | like 100 trillion dollars lol | 21:15 |
| AdrianG | ? | 21:15 |
| Diablo-D3 | yes | 21:15 |
| Diablo-D3 | Im not even being hyperbolic about it | 21:15 |
| AdrianG | dont be naive | 21:15 |
| Diablo-D3 | wait, do you think Im too low or too high? | 21:16 |
| AdrianG | why would be a total negative | 21:16 |
| AdrianG | it most likely was a positive, if anything. | 21:16 |
| kanzure | bjonnh: hm? | 21:16 |
| Diablo-D3 | do we have a colony on mars yet? no? everything the government is currently doing is a total negative until we get that. | 21:17 |
| Diablo-D3 | seriously, I do not give a fuck about what people think are normal priorities anymore | 21:17 |
| AdrianG | Diablo-D3: you are right. we should comandeer all resources and make everyone build rockets for mars missions | 21:17 |
| maaku | why the mars fixation? outer solar system is where it is at | 21:17 |
| AdrianG | and cage them if they disagree, i think thats the best way | 21:17 |
| Diablo-D3 | normal priorities is why the world is so fucked up | 21:18 |
| Diablo-D3 | maaku: thats the difference between an on site backup and an off site backup | 21:18 |
| Diablo-D3 | we don't have either | 21:18 |
| Diablo-D3 | so the argument is moot | 21:18 |
| AdrianG | maaku: nah, we will fly to the sun of course. but at night, because the sun is too hot during days. | 21:18 |
| Diablo-D3 | AdrianG: goddamnit. | 21:18 |
| AdrianG | Diablo-D3: you are taking life too seriously | 21:19 |
| AdrianG | besides, you have to start practising somewhere | 21:19 |
| AdrianG | you know how much practise with drones we got in iraq? | 21:19 |
| AdrianG | thats accumulated knowledge we didnt have. | 21:19 |
| Diablo-D3 | okay so can drones cure cancer, aids, and male pattern baldness? | 21:20 |

| justanotheruser | captcha is out, OCR is in https://www.sciencemag.org/content/350/6266/1332.full | 21:23 |

| Diablo-D3 | AdrianG: we need that too | 21:23 |
| AdrianG | justanotheruser: nice. | 21:24 |
| AdrianG | how are we going to prevent bots now? | 21:24 |
| justanotheruser | AdrianG: PoW, duh | 21:24 |
| AdrianG | bitcoin? | 21:24 |
| justanotheruser | PoW | 21:24 |
| AdrianG | bitcoin is pre-canned PoW | 21:24 |
| Diablo-D3 | [PoW] | 21:24 |
| AdrianG | otherwise you can just spam with ASICs. | 21:24 |
| Diablo-D3 | those little blocks in mario 2 | 21:24 |
| justanotheruser | captcha has always been cheaper to solve for scammers in third world countries than the average user (being that the labor is much cheaper). PoW levels the playing field. | 21:25 |

| Diablo-D3 | hah | 21:26 |
| bjonnh | kanzure: when you do .title, does that mean that you have a database somewhere with all the links posted here? | 21:26 |
| justanotheruser | Rather than you spending a $0.50 of your first world time entering a captcha, and a scammer spending $0.02 of some bangledishi wage slaves time, you will now be spending $0.50 doing PoW and the best the scammer can do is go to iceland | 21:27 |
| justanotheruser | bjonnh: he does | 21:27 |
| justanotheruser | bjonnh: gnusha.org/logs/ | 21:28 |
| kanzure | bjonnh: .title is just a way for me to avoid visiting boring links | 21:29 |
| kanzure | 350/6266/1332.full not easy to remember which one this is, so have to ask the irc bot for a title | 21:29 |
| CautiousNarwhal | do you just go to the logs and find .title? | 21:30 |
| kanzure | the bot replies immediately | 21:31 |
| kanzure | .title https://www.sciencemag.org/content/350/6266/1332.full | 21:31 |

| CautiousNarwhal | which bot? im so lost haha | 21:38 |
| justanotheruser | yoleaux? | 21:39 |
| kanzure | yoleaux is a bot | 21:40 |
