| faceface | UtopiahGHML: where did you put that 'DNA storage' proposal? | 04:36 |
| faceface | I found some interesting stats in this brief article about 'molecular computation'; http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/reprint/296/5567/478.pdf | 04:37 |
| faceface | I'd like to add them to the project proposal. | 04:37 |
| UtopiahGHML | faceface: http://wiki.seedea.org/Oimp/MetaDNA | 04:37 |
| faceface | cheers | 04:38 |
| UtopiahGHML | I didn't change a lot of things since then I think, you can check the history pages | 04:39 |
| faceface | yup | 04:39 |
| faceface | In principle, more than 10^{21} bits of information are packed into each gram of dehydrated DNA. | 04:42 |
| UtopiahGHML | but how energy costly is it to organize it to hold the information you want to encode there? | 04:44 |

| kanzure | isn't it some sort of classic that I should have already read by now? | 23:20 |
| fenn | dunno, i'd never heard of lanier before today, but he appears to have an impressive bio | 23:20 |
| -!- genehacker [n=chatzill@wireless-128-62-99-132.public.utexas.edu] has joined #hplusroadmap | 23:50 | |
| genehacker | so guess what? | 23:51 |
| genehacker | Corporations are basically distributed intelligences | 23:54 |
| fenn | yawn | 23:55 |
| genehacker | I have proof | 23:55 |
| genehacker | I stared down the Toyota Memome today | 23:55 |
| fenn | they aren't intelligences, they're profit-maximizing algorithms with a legal fictional personality to back it up | 23:55 |
| genehacker | heck toyota is almost an algorithm | 23:55 |
| genehacker | yeah | 23:56 |
| genehacker | so toyota has this practice called kotosan -kotosen, something sounding like that | 23:57 |
| genehacker | which means practice A worked, let's do it everywhere else | 23:57 |
| genehacker | they've discovered horizontal meme transfer | 23:58 |
| genehacker | or basically, the reason we have open source | 23:58 |
| genehacker | fenn, they are very much algorithms | 23:59 |
| genehacker | I wonder what happens if one automates one | 23:59 |
