| Alanius | how about whether the many-worlds interpretation applies to classical probabilistics as well, since after all the only real difference is the L1 norm versus the L2 norm of quantum mechanics | 08:11 |

| kanzure | Alanius: apparently scott aaronson has moved from mit.edu to utexas.edu because the former refused to give his wife tenure or something and the latter said sure | 08:15 |

| fluffypony | hah hah | 08:38 |
| fluffypony | kanzure: I was just teasing, official sources are kernel.org, and I'm 80% certain they run their own git server on it | 08:38 |
| fluffypony | I've only ever fetched sources via rsync / ftp from there, though | 08:39 |

| kanzure | like a free will lunch theorem? | 10:14 |
| kanzure | http://no-free-lunch.org/ | 10:15 |
| Alanius | if I recall correctly, the clue is that even if we live in a deterministic world, it might still be impossible for any part of the rest of the universe to predict your choices without changing them | 10:19 |

| Alanius | thanks! | 10:25 |
| kanzure | it is difficult to figure out who to route certain information to... so that is why this process is extremely inefficient. | 10:26 |
| Alanius | uh, yeah, that seems like a particularly relevant fact about computation and information theory | 10:27 |

| kanzure | [re: why biology is not like software engineering] "... there is no source, the bytecode has multiple reentrent abstractions, is unstable and has a very low signal to noise ratio, the runtime is unbootstrappable, the execution is nondeterministic, it tries to randomly integrate and execute code from other computers... multiple reentrant and self-modifying abstractions. absolutely everything has subtle side effects." | 21:46 |
| kanzure | "Abstractions work in machine code because we built the machines to make abstractions possible. Natural cells don't work like that. The closest thing to cells in the machine code world are demoscene x86 assembly blobs -- filled with insane hacks to make something awesome work in a small amount of space, with lots of weird code and data reuse and generative magic." | 21:47 |
| kanzure | "It's worse than that though. Never forget that the true "compiler" of DNA is Physics, specifically that of protein folding, conformational dynamics, and catalysis. It won't be simulated anytime soon with anything approaching useful kinetic accuracy. (It's not clear if we'll ever get kT-accurate quantum simulations of correlated electron wavefunctions that scale to protein-sized systems, though there is some hope in the far future ... | 21:47 |
| kanzure | ... with exotic computing architectures.)" | 21:47 |
| kanzure | "So ultimately what software useful for synthetic biology is going to do is help us curate all of our brute-force efforts to build and screen libraries of pseudorational libraries of proteins, pathways, and cells. -Not- provide shitty abstraction layers that rest upon our incredibly shaky understanding of what's going on circa 2012. Think of curating an incredibly complicated genetic-programming run across a hundred-thousand ... | 21:47 |
| kanzure | ... clusters -- that gives a better sense of the flavor of what's needed." | 21:48 |
| kanzure | "We invented the light-build long before we understood QFT. We'll be building amazing cellular machines long before we really understand them quantitatively. Synbio's (and diybio's) biggest sin is repeatedly elevating the convenient metaphors with EE/CS into a slick-looking action plan that doesn't respect the fundamental differences between these machine architectures." | 21:48 |
| kanzure | "Let me reemphasize the point here. Programmers can exist because WE built computers -explicitly- to support those abstraction layers. The Wizards of EE formed a powerful magical convenant that protects all the gentle digital denizens from concerning themselves with the horrors of physical reality that lays sealed beneath the woven lithography. It took them decades and a trillion dollars to build those magical seals." | 21:48 |
| kanzure | "In biology we haven't even begun to form powerful enough magic to seal away the chaos of physical reality. Over the next few decades we'll almost certainly rebuild simple microbial cells (piecemeal, haltingly, not all at once) with an increasingly modularized set of signaling components and metabolic cores whose behavior we'll have -evolved- to be isolated and predictable. It will take bajillions of manhours to do that, and it will ... | 21:49 |
| kanzure | ... almost entirely be done by limited guesswork and brute-force screening (i.e. traditional engineering). Only once we've untangled the gordian knot of the cell will we be able to construct these magical abstraction layers atop it.... and they'll probably be leaky layers at that." | 21:49 |
| kanzure | "Yes, but what -isn't- hackable? Look, my gripe here is that cells are really -nothing- like a von neumann machine. They're both nonlinear dynamical systems that happen to carry lots of "code" that controls their evolution in time. That's the strongest similarity. Cells deserve more than crappy metaphors to other kinds of systems. If y'all really want to improve how we engineer cells, it's worth taking a few years to begin ... | 21:49 |
| kanzure | ... understanding how they really work." | 21:49 |
| kanzure | "Those of you who have not done biology can't realize how primitive things still are. A CS analogy is that we're trying to reverse engineer a non-deterministic alien architecture from the future via a remote debugger over a noisy line that has no error correction and runs at a fraction of a millibaud, where every peek or poke costs hundreds to thousands of dollars. With the advent of high-throughput sequencing we just figured out how ... | 21:50 |
| kanzure | ... to get noisy ROM/RAM dumps (genotype), but still have precious little ability to quickly interact with the biological systems under study (phenotype). Biology is much more like hacking and reverse engineering than it is like physics or mathematics. A working exploit is worth much more than general pontification. The transformative events in biology these days are the clever hacks that enable whole new classes of fast experiments to ... | 21:50 |
| kanzure | ... be done: quick homologous recombination induced by CRISPR, optical interrogation of neural systems using light-sensitive ion channels, the development of adeno-associated viruses for rapid introduction of genetic material, etc. In the coming decades the combination of such clever hacks with cheaper automation and sensors will hopefully bring a flood of new data that will make a predictive, quantitative science of biology possible. ... | 21:50 |
| kanzure | ... With cheap and plentiful data, perhaps clever minds might discover general quantitative principles that we can't see yet. But the data is what's lacking, not cleverness." | 21:50 |
