fennthis is andreas, who showed me my EEG: http://www.meta-mind.de/09:02
fennoh btw did i mention todd huffman was staying @ langton labs too? thought that was a funny coincidence09:04
Utopiahnice project, wonder if it's as effective as swimming or running twice a week though :-#09:06
fennswimming doesn't provide a window into your/someone else's thoughts09:08
UtopiahIm not sure I would consider brainwaves thoughts though09:08
fennwell, it's really cool to see it from both sides09:09
fenni mean have your brainwaves scanned, you can really see your thoughts up there on the screen09:09
Utopiahit's more like heat or noise from electricity line, you can hear the waste but you can not deduce the usage from it09:09
Utopiah(Im still all for openeeg openvibe and such projects)09:09
fennsure it's more like the little cpu monitor taskbar widget09:10
Utopiahright09:12
Utopiahto me, the problem with most of those experiences is the difficulty to compare with placebo or very simple alternative (like sport as I was mentionning before)09:13
Utopiahbecause ok it could bring positive results but if I can get the same effect from walking 10min a day, why should I bother building such a complex system (beside learning I mean)09:14

kanzurehttp://bio.cc/Bioinformics/papers/ you might like this.11:05
kanzurehas anyone been following john smart? http://accelerationwatch.com/11:07
kanzurei'm trying to find his email address. he gave a good paper reference in his recent talk in california concerning the hypothalamus or hippocampus11:08
kanzurehttp://accelerationwatch.com/selforg_selfrep.html11:13
Utopiahlooks huge :/11:18
kanzurehttp://evodevouniverse.com/wiki/Main_Page11:18
kanzurehis name has popped up a few times before in the past.. but i just ignored it11:19
kanzurei liked his "digital twin" idea11:19
Utopiahevodevo sounded like a nice ninitiave 2 years ago but not a lot seems to have sprung from it since11:19
kanzureyeah wasn't it a buzzword for a while?11:20
Utopiahlifelogging section http://www.metaverseroadmap.org/overview/02.html#LL11:21
kanzurehe also linked to an interesting site he's been working on that tracks different accelerating trends11:22
Utopiah? http://www.metaverseroadmap.org/overview/img/multi-2.gif11:22
kanzurefinding.. http://pcdb.santafe.edu/11:22
kanzurethe site sucks but there's only two people working on it11:23
kanzure"performance curve database"11:23
kanzurehooking that up to http://theuncertainfuture.com/ would be fun11:23
kanzurei wish i would have been able to convince anna that doing theuncertainfuture.com in java was a bad idea..11:24
kanzureoriginally we were going to do it in svg/javascript11:24
Utopiahmakes me wonder, is there a "store and share" function?11:27
Utopiahcould be interesting to generate a community debate around it.11:27
kanzureyeah that was the original plan11:28
kanzureand then this java developer got involved11:28
Utopiah(nice SantaFe website, isn't it part of the LANL complexity lab?)11:29
Utopiahcould be nice with an RSS on new datasets too11:30
kanzurei want to map performance curves from that "database" to theuncertainfuture.com as a mashup11:31
kanzureand then let simple relations into the system.. i.e. "price per FLOP positively correlates to how much computation you can buy cheaply" or something11:32
Utopiah(guess http://page2rss.com/rss/3458cd41da7cba73a5479f53bef52c4d should do the trick)11:32
Utopiahthat website makesme think of "if someone else has an exponential going already, you can hop on it for free" http://fora.tv/2009/05/30/Rodney_Brooks_Remaking_Manufacturing_With_Robotics11:36
kanzureyes11:37
kanzurealthough you usually have to hop on it before it goes exponential11:37
kanzureyou want to find the "exponential funnels" or slides11:37
Utopiahcare to develop a bit please?11:38
kanzuresuppose a virus hops into a host at cycle 1 of replication.11:39
kanzureif you hop on the host at cycle 20, you're not going to get as wide-spread proliferation because there's already 20 cycles that have existed11:39
Utopiahmaybe it's just increasingly costly to hop on it11:39
kanzureit would have to keep on replicating for another 9+ cycles to get 2^9 diffusion- at 20 cycles, the exponential is already wide-spread and exhausting resources11:39
kanzure(because each doubling takes increasingly more resources)11:40
kanzurehopping on board an exponential is only valuable if you go for 8+ iterations of the 11:40
kanzurebrb door11:40
Utopiahthermoeconomics of exponential riding ;)11:43

-!- russell232 [n=russell@18.111.40.95] has quit ["This computer has gone to sleep"]13:24
kanzureUtopiah: my point was that exponentials are inherently unstable, and if they're at the end of their life, hopping on board will only propel you through a few more replication cycles13:41
kanzureunless you have lateral transferance through the branches of the exponential13:41
kanzureby that i mean, unless there's a node-to-node communication deal going on, the end of life of a huge exponential may get you the same thing as a "viral link" that dies out at 8k hits13:42
