@kanzurehappy birthday to me00:03
@kanzurehttp://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=342119000:11
@kanzureeveryone there is complaining about each 20ms of lag00:11
@kanzurebut here i am and i can't even get <10ms lag on my keyboard00:11
jrayhawkOn... your... keyboard...?00:33
@kanzure?00:33
@kanzureyes?00:33
@kanzurei suppose comparing input/output isn't fair00:34
jrayhawkI understand their complaints quite well, but I have no idea what you're talking about.00:35
@kanzurei'm just complaining that my keyboard is slow00:35
jrayhawkOh okay00:36
jrayhawkSo, USB defaults to a 125hz polling rate; some peripheral chipsets are clocked high enough to increase that number.00:37
jrayhawkI think most modern gaming keyboards support that.00:37
jrayhawkObviously this isn't all that useful since most of the user-experienced latency is still in the OS and video pathway, but if you've thoroughly optimized those...00:39
jrayhawkIf you're using PS/2 (which is usually the case for laptop keyboards), that number is typically 80hz00:41
@kanzurei really haven't isolated where the latencies are, i'm sure some of it is keyboard geometry, between me and my fingers, stuff like that00:42
@kanzurei've written some code once to track my typing rate, and some combinations i can type in 15-25ms reliably00:42
@kanzurebut that's mainly stuff like "is"00:42
@kanzurenow excuse me, i have a pokemon rom to read :x00:42

jrayhawkThere's also some potential extra latency in your userspace input layers.00:46
jrayhawkSuch as if you were going through xinput and/or GTK00:47
jrayhawkor SDL00:47
@kanzurewell clearly that means i need linux-kernel-realtime and to keep my keyboard interrupts in kernel space00:48
@kanzure^or other words that are equally ridiculous to that effect00:48

@kanzureok i am back07:18
AlonzoTG?07:24
AlonzoTGYeah,07:24
AlonzoTGthe unixites insist that the device-as-file interface is sufficient for everything,07:24
AlonzoTGthat interractive programs can work just fine by issuing read commands to /dev/tty....07:24
AlonzoTGTruth is that programs such as X have to circumvent the unix keyboard driver and implement an event-based interface.07:25
AlonzoTGWhich creates massive administrative headaches when the user wants to use a Dvorak keyboard mapping in all applications and on the console.07:25
AlonzoTGI don't actually know the details of how this is accomplished, it is poorly documented. =\07:26
AlonzoTGIt also creates a nightmare because a certain developer in the X11 project thought it would be cute to make the keyboard "hot-pluggable" which means it simply fails to work at all without a litany of commands in xorg.conf to disable hot-plugging. =\07:26
@kanzuresaurik: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/131/installs.csv07:33
archelsSo what happens when you accidently unplug your keyboard, you have to hard-reset your box?07:33
@kanzuresaurik: that's android app installs (by the market categorization thingy) as of this morning07:33

Lucas___Has anyone here gotten implants yet?08:26
@kanzureyes, there's a few iirc08:35
Lucas___sweet, what sorts?  I am always looking for something new08:39
@kanzurejust some lame magnets08:44
@kanzurewho was it.. hmm08:44
@kanzurepanax?08:44
Lucas___lame magnets?08:44
Lucas___do you have a suitable alternative?08:45
@kanzuremagnetoproteins?08:47
klafkawhat did the magnets do?08:50
Lucas___I actually proposed using electrochemotherapy methods to get that protein into human muscle tissue.  People are a lot more comfortable with sticking electronics into their flesh than biochemically altering it  :(08:50
Lucas___if you can find people that would help me with that I would appreciate it08:50
@kanzuregah marketing campaigns. "ITCH or integrating transhumanist cultural hardware"08:51
@kanzurewhat the heck is cultural hardware?08:51
Lucas___*shrug*08:52
@kanzureklafka: are you a pokemon master08:52
klafkano :(08:55
Lucas___kanzure:  something you may be interested in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electroporation08:55
Lucas___I am going to have someone build the electrical device I need for the procedure08:55

@kanzureklafka: https://bitbucket.org/kanzure/pokered/src/257c1743c396/pokered.asm09:00
Lucas___kanzure, would you be willing to be one of my test subjects?09:09
@kanzurefor electrochemotherapy? can i convine you to build an ultrasound riggup instead09:13
Lucas___?09:16
Lucas___why?09:16
Lucas___wow, I had no idea there was ultrasound gene delivery09:22
@kanzureno not that09:22
@kanzuretranscranial ultrasound for brain stimulation and, at higher power delivery, tumor destruction09:22
@kanzurehttp://diyhpl.us/~bryan/papers2/neuro/ultrasound/09:24
Lucas___thank you09:25
Lucas___hopefully I can convince the engineers to build this as well09:25
archelskanzure, Lucas___ is just going to end up giving himself the cancer.09:36
Lucas___What alternative do you suggest?09:37
Lucas___<archels>09:37
archelsknowing what you're doing?09:38
-!- augur [~augur@c-75-74-128-170.hsd1.fl.comcast.net] has quit [Remote host closed the connection]09:40
Lucas___if I knew exactly what would happen I wouldn't do this09:41
archelsah well, I was young once too. But I would suggest focussing on one topic of your interest rather than trying to do it all.09:41
Lucas___my main interested in genetics09:41
Lucas___interest is*09:41
archelsOn a related note, don't underestimate the time and effort involved in trying to accomplish any of this, or anything at all, really.09:41
archelsTo paraphrase Einstein, science is 10% inspiration and 90% hard work.09:42
Lucas___thank you09:44
Lucas___it is not my intention to take unnecessary risks.  I'd like to do some tissue culture work first (ideally)09:45
archelsWhat exactly are you trying to achieve?09:45
Lucas___introduction of a plasmid into eukaryotic cells using electroporation.  My idea (with the tissue culture) is to use GFP as a marker to see if the gene got into the tissue09:48
Lucas___using a viral vector is preferred here, but there is no way that it can be done outside of a lab09:49
archelsOK, should be fun!09:59
archelsHow large is your bank account? ;)09:59
Lucas___non existant - which is why I am trying to get people to fund me.  Right now it is partially working, as there are other projects my group is focusing on10:00
@kanzureLucas___: i have some funds available for the transcranial ultrasound project10:21
@kanzureright now i have someone fully quoting out the project (i'd rather pay this guy, even though he'd probably do it for free)10:22
archelskanzure: If you don't mind my asking, where do you want to take that project? What is its purpose to you?10:23
@kanzureneural stimulation10:24
Lucas___I know absolutely nothing about transcranial ultrasound10:24
@kanzureso that means lots of testing10:24
@kanzureLucas___: read those papers10:24
@kanzurehttp://diyhpl.us/~bryan/papers2/neuro/ultrasound/10:25
archelsaha10:25
Lucas___I could try to see if it can stimulate musculoskeletal tissue10:26
Lucas___it might be good for people with accelerated muscle loss due to disease or ...10:26
Lucas___space travel, maybe10:26
@kanzureum10:28
@kanzure"space travel" shouldn't be the first thought that comes to mind10:28
Lucas___memory enhancement? reflex enhancement?10:31
Lucas___what are you shooting for?10:31
@kanzurestimulation10:32
@kanzurei'm sure there's theoretically some regions that you can stimulate for memory enhancement,10:33
@kanzurebut i'd be happy with "memory-related stimulation"10:33
Lucas___fair enough10:34

@kanzure"If the message from a stranger I got was in fact a cool dude I met at a party last weekend following up on that cat picture, then I'd click "reply and return" to give him back that bitcoin.
