kanzure-this is weird.00:19
kanzure-(destruct (fp (:constructor create-fp00:19
kanzure-so constructors for a struct/object has a name like 'create-fp' ?00:19
kanzure-I mean, variable names for constructors for data structs? seems a bit unusual00:19

kardan_fenn i received your mail and will adept the model accordingly15:58
kardan_are there any reliable info sites about chemtrails?15:59
kanzurehm. my eyeball has a pulse.16:04
fennkardan_: as soon as you start delving into conspiracy theories and disinformation, no source of information but your own observations is reliable16:12
fennbut that's true in any case16:12
kanzurefenn: what's wrong with being an outlaw.16:13
fennit's hard to get funding.. oh wait16:13
fennkanzure: you can put a lot of work into something and then have it all taken away because you based it on something illegal16:14
kanzureyou can have it taken away anyway because you don't have any money16:15
fennnot really16:15

kardan_fenn sounds interesting19:06
kardan_there are plenty of open implementations yet19:07
kardan_what do you need?19:07
fennwell i'm really just trying to lay out a set of tasks for completing a project so i know what is possible to work on19:08
fenna dependency tree, if you will19:08
fennbut gantt chart looks like it is a similar concept that already exists19:09
fenni'm playing around with kplato and it has a lot of built in assumptions that are getting in the way19:09
kanzurefenn: there's a gantt chart GNU thingy.19:17
kanzurenot sure if a gantt chart is good for dependency management though19:17
kanzurewhat about graphviz?19:18
fenni'm sick of graphviz19:18
fennhttp://imagebin.org/4822419:20
fennseems like those color bars should add up, not all occur at the same time19:20
kanzureI didn't have a good experience with the gnu gantt chart thingy. the GUI was all out of alignment.19:22
fenn"A Gantt chart showing three kinds of schedule dependencies"19:22
kanzure(was not kplato)19:22
fennso they do theoretically include dependencies19:22
fennmaybe kplato just sucks19:22
fenn(likely)19:22
fennah i figured out how to do it19:29
fennyou drag one bar to the other and a dialog pops up19:29
fennthen you have to press 'calculate'19:30
fennof course since the dependencies are invisible there's no way to change them if you screw up..19:31
drazakI have a research project that will require approximately 22500 experiments19:31
drazak:S19:31
kanzuredrazak: what is it?19:32
fenntime to get a robot19:32
kanzurequick! kidnap fenn!19:32
fennvery funny, considering the source19:34
kanzuremeh, I'm just the ai19:34
kanzuredrazak: are you going to explain or not?19:35
drazakkanzure: uh, I'm writing a paper comparing how different developer components affect the final film product19:35
drazaksorry, I was reading something else19:35
kanzureyou've effectively said nothing19:35

fennyes19:36
genehackerwhy were you playing with syringes?19:36
fennthe simulations looked a lot prettier than the micrographs19:36
kanzure-I'm still trying to think of how to make use of those boxes19:36
genehackerpribnow box?19:37
kanzure-genehacker: I was just playing with a syringe because I found one laying around.19:37
genehackera metal one?19:37
kanzure-plastic.19:37
genehackerwhere?19:37
drazakkanzure: I'm varying the amounts of metol, hydroquinone, NaBr, and NaSO3 in black and white film developers, to determine an optimal combination, also at pH's ranging from 5-14, and 3 temperatures19:37
kanzure-by my sink.19:37
genehackerok19:37
kanzure-drazak: for photographic film?19:37
fenngenehacker: http://heybryan.org/books/papers/Self-assembly%20of%20a%20nanoscale%20DNA%20box%20with%20a%20cont19:37
fennrollable%20lid.pdf19:37
fennblah19:37
kanzure-haha19:38
genehackerat least it wasn't metal and not the ground19:38
genehackeryou can boil water with a syringe like that19:38
fenndrazak: you can simplify things several orders of magnitude by assuming the components affect the result linearly19:39
drazakkanzure-: yes19:39
drazakfenn: but they don't19:39
kanzure-genehacker: boil water how?19:39
drazakfenn: :S19:39
fennthen you just vary each parameter until it's at its optimum19:39
genehackerput water in it close it and pull19:39
kanzure-genehacker: the water that comes out is cool.19:39
genehackerno19:39
genehackerit doesn't come out19:39
fennwell you dont have to do an exhaustive survey just to show that they interact in odd ways19:39
kanzure-oh, you mean put water in it and pull19:39
kanzure-I see.19:39
fenna better use would be to verify the results with many repetitions of the same experiment19:40
genehackerif no heat transfer occurs then it doesn't change temperature19:40
drazakfenn: metol and hydroquinone are superaditive, and not linearly, NaSO3 creates a condition called sulfite scavenging, which is where SO3's pick up free electrons instead of allowing a redox reaction19:40
genehackerso what could tiny dna boxes  be used for19:40
kanzure-genehacker: in vitro compartmentalization and directed evolution.19:41
drazakfenn: I'm doing atleast 3 reps of each experiment19:41
kanzure-genehacker: did you read the email I sent to diybio?19:41
genehackerdrazak what are you doing?19:41
genehackerhey I got an idea19:41
kanzure-genehacker: the one about using light-controlled oligonucleotides for different keys for the boxes19:41
drazakgenehacker: writing a paper on photographic black and white film developers19:41
kanzure-(azobenzene stuff)19:41
genehackermake fractals19:41
kanzure-why19:41
genehackerreally really detailed fractals19:41
genehackermake an approximation of a menger sponge19:42
kanzure-I want to see if you can stack the boxes19:42
kanzure-with an AFM tip.19:42
fenni bet they are really floppy19:42
genehackernanocrates?19:42
fennmore like baskets woven out of snot19:42
kanzure-there was something about how they deform due to force from AFM tips.19:42

genehackerwe need a flow cell reaction chamber19:51
genehackerand lasers!19:51
genehackeroops meant nanolasers19:52
kanzure-if a DNA box can hold water without leaking,19:57
kanzure-and if you can fold a microfluidic circuit (out of anything foldable),19:58
kanzure-then it should be feasible to design that into CAD, and then get that target structure in DNA. don't know what the input format is to the DNA origami program though19:58
kanzure-it would be fun to see if you could send enzymes through that circuit and selectively modify the circuit based off of the DNA20:00
kanzure-or to turn it into a DNA synthesizer or something.20:00

genehackerso how do we make a reaction flow plate20:03
kanzure-what is a reaction flow plate20:03
kanzure-have you put any thought into making some graph grammars for organic chemistry, genehacker ?20:03
genehackerthe thing that goes on a microscope slide for maskless lithography dna synthesis20:03
genehackerI don't know what a graph grammar is20:04
-!- kardan_ [n=kardan@240.121.113.82.net.de.o2.com] has quit [Success]20:04
kanzure-it's the thing that would let you manipulate an organic molecule to build it into something complex from carbon and chemistry20:04
kanzure-*and other chemical elements20:04
genehackerwhat is a graph grammar20:04
fennkanzure-: there is a limit to the complexity achievable with DNA origami20:04
kanzure-it's a substitution rule that works on graphs, basically20:04
fennrelated to the oligo length20:05
kanzure-is it less than the complexity of origami in general?20:05
kanzure-oh20:05
genehackerok20:05
genehackerwhat do you mean oligolength20:05
fennbeyond a certain length you will start to get non-specific matches20:05
genehackeroh20:05
kanzure-genehacker: I think campbell would be interested in paying you if you were to make an organic chemistry graph grammar.20:05
fennlike in PCR with slow temperature ramping20:05
genehackerI don't know organic chemistry20:05
kanzure-there are lists of organic chemistry reactions20:06
genehackerand I don't know graph grammars20:06
kanzure-like on wikipedia20:06
kanzure-well he can teach you that20:06
genehackerbut I am willing to help you20:06
fenni'd be floored if genehacker managed to write a graph grammar for chemistry20:06
fenni mean that's like a master's thesis, and most people would screw it up even then20:06
kanzure-wtf, really?20:07
kanzure-to me it seems like something that I could do in a night20:07
kanzure-if I cared.20:07
fenndoesn't everything?20:07
kanzure-so wait, what is supposed to be so complicated about this?20:07
genehackerwell I might be able to use one of my friends who knows organic chemistry as a translater20:07
kanzure-there are about 25~ rules for typical reactions20:07
kanzure-so I just need to encode those rules into the GXML format20:07
genehackerhave you written graph grammars?20:07
fennkanzure-: the difference between theory and practice is in practice20:07
kanzure-er, sort of :)20:07
fennalso there's hofstadter's law20:08
kanzure-oh right. there are certain cases where certain reactions don't work.20:08
genehackerhofstader's law is a self-referential20:09
genehackerFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-20:09
kanzure-fenn: how terrible would it be if I didn't include the "in practice" parts20:09
fennthis gantt chart stuff is fun, it almost makes me want to go work at boeing and pretend i'm doing something useful20:09
kanzure-I mean, those could be appended with experience, right?20:09
fennno20:10
kanzure-no?20:10
fennwhat it means is you neglect to consider all of the steps while planning20:10
kanzure-what?20:10
kanzure-blah. why are my organic chem books packed up when I need them for once ..20:10
fennit's a common bias, i think there's even a name "planning bias" or something20:10
fennnothing to do with organic chemistry20:11
kanzure-I don't know what you are talking about20:11

fennyou mean single crystal?20:20
genehackerand see if I can support an elephant standing on a pinhead20:20
genehackersingle sheet20:20
genehackersingle crystal yeah20:20
kanzure-wouldn't that drive the pinhead through the elephant?20:21
genehackernot if the elephant stands on plate with a pin on it20:21

fennhey wait a minute20:31
fennthat paper is about something completely different20:31
kanzure-there's a reaction simulator?20:31
genehackerhey is there a format for storing information on DNA?20:31
kanzure-FASTA?20:31
kanzure-fenn: how is this wrong?20:32
fennyou researched it before. there were lots of them, unfortunately i didnt care so i dont remember any20:32
genehackerfor storing information like text on DNA20:32
kanzure-it's about graph rewriting. that's what you want.20:32
kanzure-wtf, I don't remember. can you spout out some terms?20:32
fennuh gee.. they all have stupid quirky names20:33
kanzure-engineers are terrible at naming things.20:33
fennchemical engineers are worse20:33
kanzure-case-and-point: "A-DESIGN"20:33
kanzure-EWOD20:33
fennnah, chemistry stuff is always like 'SNARF' or 'PUTT-PUTT'20:33
kanzure-EWOD MEMS A-DESIGN in LISP. blah. /me shoots someone20:33
genehackerI'd like to store text encoded on DNA20:34
kanzure-then use a base-four system20:34
fennyeah, how about THE CODE OF LIFE20:34
kanzure-or20:34
kanzure-you could look at Watson-Crick pairing20:34

kanzure-great, now serialize it.21:28
kanzure-"acquire oxyacetylene welder" heh21:29
fennserialize?21:29
fennit's some random XML if you want it21:29
kanzure-make it into a more readable form with ordered steps21:29
kanzure-well, ok, but I'm not going to touch it21:29
kanzure-or maybe I will. don't know.21:30
kanzure-rabid archiving instincts tell me to take the XML.21:30
fennwell the point is there's no inherent order to it except for disassembling/reassembling the rails and painting21:30
kanzure-so anyway, I'm reading about retrosynthesis of chemical compounds where you work from a final product and go  backwards until you get stuff that you can actually use. so, naturally, there are many dull candidates that you can pick at a certain point in the tree21:31
kanzure-while other candidates would lead to shorter construction paths21:31
kanzure-too bad I can't see any immediate application of that style of thinking to instruction generation21:32
kanzure-it's not like instructions can be broken up like that.. it's not chemistry.21:32
fennusually you dont have a specific end-product artifact in mind until you know how you're going to make it21:33
