11:56 < lsneff> kanzure: what's your typing wpm?
12:00 < fenn> IT'S OVER 9000!
12:02 < fenn> (when using hackertyper, your mileage may vary, terms and conditions apply)
12:02 < lsneff> https://i.imgur.com/NU8Baew.mp4
12:02 < fenn> yeah i never understood that part
12:03 < fenn> data diodes were too hard
12:07 < lsneff> I don't think I ever watched the entire animated movie (or read the original manga)
12:07 < lsneff> I did read blame! though. That's really worth readin
12:07 < fenn> indeed. did i introduce you to it?
12:08 < fenn> sidonia no kishi is good too
12:08 < lsneff> nah, that was before my tenure here
12:08 < fenn> the manga anyway
12:08  * fenn not a fan of 3D anime
12:09 < fenn> shirow was way ahead of his time. most people don't realize that he wrote ghost in the shell in the 80s
12:10 < lsneff> I'll add that to my reading list
12:12 < lsneff> I enjoyed uzumaki too, but that's more horror and has no relevance to scifi
12:14 < maaku> ghost in the shell (original) is classic
12:14 < maaku> like a japanese blade runner
12:19 < lsneff> I was about to say ghost in the shell inspired blade runner, but blade runner actually came out earlier
12:20 < Jay_Dugger> Second Sidonia no Kishi. Think Hodgson's "The Night Land" in space on a generation ship.
12:29 < fenn> toha heavy industries actually made a brief cameo in blame!
12:31 < fenn> that is sidonia
12:33 < apotheon> I think my first introduction to Tsutomu Nihei was Biomega.
12:34 < apotheon> gotta love a gigantic talking bear with a hook-hand
12:35 < maaku> lsneff: ghost in the shell did directly inspire the matrix though
12:37 < apotheon> It's pretty tough to make something "groundbreaking" if you don't pay attention to whether it has already been done, so yeah, the good stuff is often inspired by previous good stuff.
12:38 < apotheon> Neuromancer was likely part of the inspiration for GiTS, too.
12:38 < apotheon> and/or True Names

16:34 < L29Ah> is there research on brain cooling for nootropic purposes?
16:36 < fenn> cooling the brain usually makes you dumber
16:36 < fenn> research on reducing body temperature is usually done in athletics or kinesiology departments
16:36 < L29Ah> and brain overheating is the reason for things like amphetamine neurotoxicity
16:36 < fenn> since the brain is at body temperature it's pretty much the same thing
16:37 < L29Ah> i don't tell about reducing body temperature, i tell about dumping more heat so brain can pump more energy through
16:37 < L29Ah> hmmm
16:37 < fenn> there is a peripheral vascular contraction response to cold, so there was an attempt to do rapid blood cooling by applying a vacuum to the wrists or ankles along with cold water
16:38 < fenn> at U. Washington a long time ago
16:38 < fenn> er, WUSTL i think
16:40 < L29Ah> https://www.newsweek.com/why-do-we-yawn-contagious-yawns-cool-down-brain-scientists-1443106?fbclid=IwAR3q6VKN9J5BD4CvLjhQh9tFFNIVlT49Lp5z0sKmxcWMdKhlDYiaqKplUeQ
16:41 < L29Ah> oh, the experiment sounds like bullshit tho

16:47 < fenn> in high school i made a thing like this that was a rigid bracelet (from PVC pipe and some rubber gloves) so you could still use your hands while getting the cooling treatment
16:48 < fenn> i think cooling boots would be more practical to wear around
16:56 < fenn> "veskimo" went out of business somehow; their $500 cooling vest was just a safety vest with some thin plastic tubing sewn into it, a jug of ice water, and a water pump
16:57 < fenn> apparently it's not fun to wear because the ice cold tubing touches your skin and hurts
16:59 < fenn> thermal garments used with space suits have better tubing patterns too https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_cooling_and_ventilation_garment

19:06 < fenn> OVER 9000 WPH
20:10 < fenn> john von neumann advocated for a preemptive nuclear strike on the soviet union
20:14 < fenn> "with the russians it is not a question of whether, but when"
20:15 < fenn> "If you say why not bomb them tomorrow, I say why not today? If you say why not five o'clock, I say why not one o'clock?"
20:15 < fenn> -why not
20:16 < fenn> 3 years later (1953) the USSR had 300-400 nuclear bombs
