JayDugger"replace the ads in your Gmail with photos, biographic data and social media links, including a live display of recent Tweets, for whoever you're corresponding with by email."04:21
JayDuggerSkinput is also neat, but the paper doesn't come out until 20100412.04:21
JayDuggerI wonder why he didn't just set it up for touch typing as if on a chorded keyboard?04:22
JayDuggerHe probably doesn't touch type. :)04:22

kanzurei'm interested in seeing if i can find a stock trading algorithm that can net me 10k lossy transactions per 1 gain transaction, but with adjustable values in both categories (for the amount in the transactions)19:24
nshwhat's a lossy/gain transaction?19:27
kanzurea lossy transaction is one where you were in a position for a while and lost money overall19:36
kanzurea transaction that results in a gain is a net-win for you19:36
-!- Netsplit *.net <-> *.split quits: klafka, Phreedom, kristianpaul, ybit219:36
kanzurea good strategy is to not care how many times you lose, as long as you lose little each time. and it doesn't matter how many times you win, as long as you win (relatively) big19:37

kanzure"The key to making it secure is configuring ikiwiki to run as your git repository's pre-receive hook. There it will examine every change that untrusted users push into the wiki, and reject pushes that contain changes that cannot be made using the web interface."22:04
kanzurehttp://ikiwiki.info/tips/untrusted_git_push/22:04
kanzuregee that's nice :)22:04
JayDuggerWhy would you want to force people to use the web interface? What advantage does that provide in return for losing off-line edits?22:07
kanzurenono22:07
kanzurethat ikiwki untrusted git push just allows you to work offline and push anonymously instead of waiting for a login to be created on the server-end for you22:07
JayDuggerWith you so far, yes.22:08
kanzureand then on the pre-receive hook, it makes sure the user isn't doing something that they wouldn't be allowed to do anonymously on the wiki anyway (like spam the front page)22:08
JayDuggerHmm...perhaps I assume a web interface to ikiwiki like that for Twiki or Mediawiki: the crappy online mark-up based text areas.22:09
kanzureyeah that's usually what happens22:11
kanzureand for some reason users insist on having a wiki these days22:11

kanzure"The research demonstrated that one type of dopamine receptor aids the ability to focus, and another type improves the learning itself."22:35
kanzurei am not yet convinced that ritalin, adderall, etc. have a primary effect due to dopamine.. it's always been a kind of "unverified claim" in the research as far as i can tell22:36
kanzure"well we don't know what it does, so let's just choose the most popular neurotransmitters!"22:36
kanzure""We found that a dopamine receptor, known as the D2 receptor, controls the ability to stay focused on a task - the well-known benefit of Ritalin," said Patricia Janak, PhD, co-senior author on the paper. "But we also discovered that another dopamine receptor, D1, underlies learning efficiency.""22:36
kanzurefenn: they are in your neck of the woods if you want to go hit them up22:37
kanzure"However, they also found that if they blocked the dopamine D1 receptors with drugs, Ritalin was unable to enhance learning. And if they blocked D2 receptors, Ritalin failed to improve focus." er maybe that's just because blocking dopamine is like blocking ATP or ATD etc.?22:37
katsmeowso lets ot block D1 ?22:38
klafka"so basically we still don't know wtf we are doing"22:47
