jrayhawk"30 megapixel" is an oversimplification and "72 frames per second" is an outright lie01:20
joshcryerWhat's the human perception frame rate?01:30
joshcryerHigher?01:30
jrayhawkPOV on an unchanged CRT rescan starts working at around 100hz for me; I've met people for whom it's higher.01:31
jrayhawkOn changed rescans, the sky is the limit. I normally play video games at 150hz, and I could go a *lot* higher.01:32
jrayhawkBut I'm sure you could achieve the same thing with a 120hz scanout and a lot of compositing.01:33
jrayhawk(which is to say, displays don't need to get a whole lot faster than 120, but rendering sure does)01:38
Coornail100 hertz is pretty close to reality01:41
joshcryerI know TVs can get up to 240hz, probably higher these days. Have you personally looked at a 240hz screen with said source?01:41
Coornailbut I guess it all depends on the use case01:41
joshcryerCoornail, I know that mismatching can cause a serious perception issue (say you have a game running at 50fps on a 60hz monitor).01:41
jrayhawk240hz displays require specialist hardware; I don't know of anyone who's run a video game on one.01:43
jrayhawkAs with interpixel interpolation, the upper limit for interframe interpolation is probably 4x for most and 8x for the obsessive.01:44
Coornailbut that also mean that for different use cases it will perform with different success01:46
joshcryerDo you have problems watching film jrayhawk?01:47
jrayhawkAction sequences filmed at 30hz bother me 'cause it's difficult to tell what's going on half the time (fuck you, bruckheimer), but I grew up around 50 and 60hz CRTs and ignore the scanout. I live with someone who gets headaches using anything less than 100hz and generally prefers 120.01:50

joshcryerThat's fascinating to me.01:51
-!- Mokbortolan_ [~Nate@c-71-59-241-82.hsd1.or.comcast.net] has joined ##hplusroadmap01:52
joshcryerI never had anything above 60hz, and I don't get headaches around anything that flickers (fluorescent lights, etc). And I can play Skyrim at about 45 fps for hours on end (put about 100 hours into it so far).01:53
joshcryerI mean, I notice it, but it's not terribly jarring or uncomfortable.01:53
joshcryerAfter awhile I adapt and I don't even notice it.01:53
jrayhawkObviously LCDs are a godsend for the headache crowd, since there's no need for POV.01:54
joshcryerI think one thing really left out of that talk is the ability to reduce computation due to visual cues.01:55
joshcryerEye tracking and the like.01:55
joshcryerYou won't need to compute the rays for a given static object if you're not looking at it.01:56
jrayhawkYeah, the future is going to be head displays and eye tracking for a bit.01:56
joshcryerI don't think it'll go commercial until it's the size of eye glasses and they have multi-megapixel cameras on the lenses.01:56
joshcryerThen we'll have AR + rudimentary VR (it won't be realistic yet).01:56
joshcryerThen we can throw away tablets.01:56
joshcryerOh, Happy Leap Day. :)01:57
jrayhawkhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmFT9zy7fOU rage sorta already has detail-follows-focus, but mostly by accident02:12
jrayhawkat least it's something that could be gracefully engineered on top of what they already have02:13
jrayhawkdisplays should really be discussed in terms of pixels per radian rather than pixels per inch or total pixels02:17

delinquentmeMEH09:40
delinquentmeshipping fees!09:40
* delinquentme sent angry tweets09:40
kanzurethat'll show them!09:40
delinquentmeSCHYEH!09:42
delinquentmeso what about creating a community where the basic purpose is to create an argument over why science move so slowy?09:45
delinquentmewe bring in a few experts .. get them rolling on the subject (yes easier said than done.. MAYBE)09:46
delinquentmeBUT09:46
kanzurewho is doing that?09:47
delinquentmethen find out how long it would take to become productive with a piece of equipment from the MFG of that equip09:47
delinquentmesay electron microscopes09:47
kanzurei mean why do we care about arguments about science moving slowly09:47
kanzurethat does not sound productive09:47
delinquentmenow the powerful thing here is that we've bypassed the "experts" ( academic blahs ) and skipped right to the real experts09:48
delinquentmethe manufacturers09:48
kanzuremost academics do not know how to make their equipment09:48
kanzuresome branches of physics are unusual because of how they commonly make custom equipment09:48
kanzurebut that's not the norm09:48
delinquentmeNOW we get to open a forum on " can this task you're using a well educated grad student to do ... be  outsourced to a random bum off the street )09:48
kanzurewhy?09:49
delinquentme2 reasons09:49
kanzurethey should be using robots, not bums09:49
kanzurethis is dumb..09:49
delinquentmewell yes true true09:49
delinquentme1) we begin to open up the idea that heavy real fucking science09:49
delinquentmeis available to everyone09:49
delinquentmethis would be SO huge09:49
kanzureit already is available to everyone.. why is that new09:50
delinquentmehardly!09:50
kanzurethe thing that mainly is not is the publications09:50
kanzurebut that's about it.09:50
delinquentmePHDs != accessible09:50
kanzureyou don't need a phd09:50
kanzurethat's just a piece of paper09:50
delinquentmeand 2) we're replacing the "knowledge" that these dyed in the wool old boy club type researches have09:51
delinquentmewith really HARD evidence that they're wrong09:51
kanzurewrong about what09:51
delinquentmethat it takes a phd to become productive09:51
delinquentmeand all the while the MFG has a new source of income training people how to use their equipment09:51
kanzurethey already know that.. that's why they use undergrads09:51
delinquentmebut even undergrads could work on more important shit09:52
kanzurewhat does that have to do with your phd argument09:52
kanzurei said they already know it does not require a phd to be productive09:53
delinquentmemake science accessible ( 2 week specialized education for a piece of equipment ) and everyone shifts up in impact of the work they do09:53
kanzureand you said, "undergrads can be working too".. which is what already happens09:53
delinquentmenono i mean we can take people off the street and do this shit09:53
kanzuredelinquentme: i don't think equipment training is the limiting factor09:53
delinquentmelike yes you cant work w a total idiot09:53
delinquentmelimiting factor would be?09:54
kanzurethe equipment is pretty standard and easy to use (in the scheme of things)09:54
delinquentmeerm i mean " whats the limiting factor in your opinion ?"09:54
kanzuresure it doesn't look like an assPod but who cares09:54
kanzureto making science accessible09:54
kanzureisn't that what you just said?09:54
delinquentmelike I think that ... ehhh ... who was it09:54
delinquentmesomeone said that basically REAL science is kind of ignored09:55
kanzureyou're basically saying that equipment training is the limiting factor to 'making science accessible'09:55
delinquentmebecause it gets to the point of complexity where it might as well BE magic to some people09:55
delinquentmeim saying that its a foot in the door certainly09:55
kanzureto what09:55
kanzureplease make a coherent statement09:55
delinquentmelike i had this argument w my friend .. right09:55
delinquentme...09:55
delinquentmeok whats incoherent09:55
kanzureyou started talking about postulating we have arguments about science progress09:56
kanzurethen you're arguing that phds are necessary09:56
delinquentmewhere?09:56
kanzureby saying that you need them for something09:57
delinquentmei missed that part?09:58
kanzuretheir willingness to train people on equipment, does not matter in the scheme of things09:58
kanzuresometimes they are the ones who do the training09:58

kanzureok scrwe it09:58
delinquentme_w and q are really close09:59
delinquentme_ok umm the MFGs do the training09:59
delinquentme_( additional income for them )09:59
kanzureare you proposing that they should do this?09:59
kanzureor are you trying to relay information to me09:59
delinquentme_im saying if you can open up a forum .. and show that people are interested09:59
delinquentme_i think they'd do it themselves .. they already do this in some industries09:59
kanzureok so you're proposing this10:00
delinquentme_im saying its a cool idea10:00
delinquentme_disclosure : it was my idea10:00
kanzureok. now that i know you're *proposing an idea* i can comment on it10:00
delinquentme_yeah10:00
kanzureequipment certification programs seems like an arbitrary barrier to entry10:00
kanzureno thanks.10:00
delinquentme_so for me10:01
delinquentme_in the case of say HS students right10:01
delinquentme_more kids into science10:01
delinquentme_how do we get them viscerally engaged?10:01
kanzurei think they will engage themselves if they want to10:01
delinquentme_throw books at them? no way .. show them a fucking mad machine and say " Would you like to learn how to run this ?"10:01
delinquentme_THAT.10:01
delinquentme_true true10:01
delinquentme_but thats the easy route10:01
delinquentme_kids want to learn10:02
delinquentme_but not in the traditional edu sense10:02
kanzureyou could also strap them down and force them to do science10:02
delinquentme_fuck that10:02
delinquentme_yeah bc that works well10:02
delinquentme_that approach *TOTALLY* says " I have NO concept of human psyche "10:02
kanzureok so why do you need these kids to do science? are you in desperate need of additional workers?10:02
delinquentme_it says " I'm lazy and cant think of a better way to incite the transfer of information .. than by force " .. yamn10:03
delinquentme_yawn*!10:03
kanzurethere are tons of training programs already out there (all sorts of lab tech classes in community colleges, etc.)10:03
kanzurei mean if you need to pick up a bunch of people making $24k/year to push buttons, there's a surplus of biotech people for that10:03
delinquentme_kanzure, to make something a societal push .. you need to make it something anyone can relate with10:03
delinquentme_right now .. its magic10:03
kanzurea societal push for what?10:03
kanzureit's not magic - that's a fucking lie10:03
delinquentme_like REAL science might as well be black magic to most people10:04
delinquentme_its too complex10:04
delinquentme_we need to modularize it10:04
kanzureyou still shouldn't tell them it's magic.10:04
delinquentme_and give it to them in small chunks10:04
delinquentme_oh im not telling them its magic10:04
delinquentme_(certainly)10:04
kanzureyes you are- you just told me it's magic10:04
kanzuredude this is impossible10:04
delinquentme_i mean i used that to demonstrate to you what I was trying to convey10:04
ThomasEgiwitchcraft, burn the infidel! along with his books of sorcery10:05
kanzureyes i know, and you shouldn't convey to anyone that it's magic10:05
delinquentme_as in that they see it as something very complex10:05
kanzureincluding me10:05
kanzureyes, it is complex10:05
delinquentme_i stand corrected10:05
kanzure(but also simple)10:05
delinquentme_you're absolutely right10:05
kanzureok so why do you need this societal push?10:05
delinquentme_LEV10:05
delinquentme_put those tools in peoples hands and say10:05
delinquentme_HEY you might want this too10:05
delinquentme_now you can help10:05
kanzureeducation isn't bad but i don't see where you're going with this10:06
delinquentme_and OMG even more if we could make this  as accessible as taking a class on rock climbing or something10:06
delinquentme_like people talking about electron microscopy at the bar ??10:06
delinquentme_wet dream shit!10:06
delinquentme_no but education takes too long10:06
kanzurejust go to a bar near a university..10:06
kanzurehuh? you just said you wanted manufacturers to do equipment training10:07
kanzurehow is that not education10:07
delinquentme_and whats REALLY powerful is we begin to combat this idea in a very public way that PHDs arent necessary to do real science10:07
delinquentme_ohhh ohh ok ye10:07
delinquentme_yeh**10:07
delinquentme_we've got the fucking manufacturers saying10:07
delinquentme_"yeah you can learn to run one of these in 2 weeks "10:07
delinquentme_and you know .. we made the tool so .. we're not just talking out of our asses10:08
delinquentme_^ manufacturer10:08
delinquentme_ps ThomasEgi howdah!10:08
ThomasEgihungry, as always.10:08
kanzurein the future can you start with the end ("I want to shift popular opinion about PhDs doing science") instead of the end ("certification training by lab equipment manufacturers")10:08
kanzure*instead of the details10:08
delinquentme_I think I want to make alist of a few of these and put em on HN10:09
delinquentme_I dont see myself running w this idea but I think its usable10:09
delinquentme_maybe a list of life extension inclined startup type ideas10:11
rkoshave you heard about the concept of open source ventures?10:14
delinquentme_^^ noe?10:15
delinquentme_but you saw that post i threw up in here yesterday on the 205 million for big data companies10:15
delinquentme_I've got programming and math !10:16
delinquentme_who wants to be muh friend?!10:16
rkoshttp://globalguerrillas.typepad.com/globalguerrillas/2011/01/the-open-source-venture-project-picture-this.html or http://e-texteditor.com/blog/2009/opencompany basically you have an idea and just crowdsource the labor from the internet10:16
kanzurerkos: also check out bettermeans if you're into that10:17
kanzurefrankly i find a lot of the "social ventures" to be dizzying/upsetting to my stomach10:17
kanzurebut for some reason i know about them10:17
rkosi havent been following any too closely, but the concept of dilettantes doing science reminded me of it10:18
kanzurehonestly, there's tons of people trained on biotech equipment, it's not a limiting factor10:18
kanzurethe cost of the equipment tends to be pretty high, so people not in labs usually do not have the equipment10:18
delinquentme_whats the real issue ?10:19
kanzureif you want more lab equipment? well, it's being sold for too much10:19
kanzurenobody should be paying $50k for a thermocycler or ultracentrifuge10:20
rkossequencing and synthetizing is still pretty expensive for any hobbyist10:20
kanzureyep10:20
kanzureor rather: the capital costs of doing any biotech is still somewhat high10:21
kanzureactually i should clarify that, because it's not true10:22
kanzureif you were to buy things on the open market, the costs are high ;)10:22
kanzureif you're willing to do things on your own the costs drop substantially10:22
delinquentme_true, but not too many people are building sequencers10:26
kanzurebecuase i haven't gotten around to showing how yet10:27
delinquentme_haha10:27

joshcryerdelinquentme_, step one, make software to simulate, make and improve hardware. Step two, build hardware on which to run the software to simulate, make, and improve hardware. Step three, demystify the software so that a normal consumer can use it to adequately simulate, create, and improve upon consumer or consumer used items.17:21
kanzurecontext?17:24
joshcryer<delinquentme> because it gets to the point of complexity where it might as well BE magic to some people17:24
joshcryerThe whole exchange from earlier about training and ... slow science (not sure what that meant).17:24
kanzureyeah me either17:25

delinquentme_oh i thought that was in reply to the sandwich robot17:30
delinquentme_joshcryer, kanzure distilling it down to say there is one bottleneck17:31
delinquentme_over simplification17:31
delinquentme_realize that this is a *system* we're talking about17:31
delinquentme_with economics in all of its majesty is involved17:32
kanzurewhat am i doing?17:32
kanzurei don't even know what you're trying to talk abuot17:32
kanzurei just see lots of broad topics crammed together :(17:32
delinquentme_more talent = better markets17:32
joshcryerI have a sense this is a long term observation that's based upon an opinion delinquentme_ has formed. I haven't read logs or been here in almost a year though so I have no idea.17:33
delinquentme_one part of the earlier discussion worked off an attempt to demistify17:33
joshcryerDemystyfication is just a front end and programmers wouldn't do the lions share of it, that's a job for designers.17:33
delinquentme_joshcryer, a long term opinion as opposed to ?17:34
delinquentme_nm17:35
joshcryerdelinquentme_, the bit about experts, say, you think experts are being touted and that can bias your opinion. Maybe experts aren't touted so much, I mean, look at open source and I come across quite a diverse field of individuals, from corporate lackeys to high schoolers.17:36
delinquentme_joshcryer, i think what I was after is a nice easy way to STFU old men researchers who want everyone to do it the way they did it17:37

delinquentme_this is where psychology and faggotry begin to slow science17:37
joshcryerSure, some fields may have special cases, but that's only because there's no penetration there as far as the open source community is concerned.17:37
kanzuredelinquentme_: that's not what you do - you invite them to be on "your" 'board of advisors'17:37
kanzureinstead of telling them to stfu.17:38
delinquentme_but I think more importantly money INTO science will help this17:38

yottabitmy problem solving abilities have seemed to deminished since starting back to school18:48
yottabithas anyone else experienced this?18:48
yottabiti'm not sure if it's specifically school or stress from so many commitments outside of school18:48
foucistyottabit: get 9 hours of sleep every night to unlock your inner genius18:51
yottabitprior to this stupid schedule imposed by school, that's what i normally received18:52
foucistgo to bed earlier? :P18:52
yottabiti have to trazodone to knock myself out18:52
yottabitguess i could get some sleep, that's probably the problem today18:52
foucistyottabit: how about some modafinil18:53
yottabitgod would i love some18:53
yottabiti have this problem with vyvanse... it makes me concentrate on whatever sparks my interest18:54
yottabitnot really on what i should be working on :)18:54
* yottabit is trying guanfacine again and reducing his exercising18:55
yottabitguanfacine previously made my head ache while jogging18:55
yottabitso i quit taking it, but since i haven't exercised in ~month, might as well give it a go again18:56
* yottabit is sick of school18:56
* yottabit high fives foucist and sleeps18:56

delinquentme_^^ howdy eudoxia20:06
delinquentme_joshcryer, do you exercise often?20:07
delinquentme_lol random I know ... im looking for a very specific side effect which I've not been able to get for a while20:07
eudoxiaпривет delinquentme20:07
delinquentme_lol20:07
eudoxiaI think I'm using 'yo' too much so yeah20:08
yashgarothmay I recommend "'sup"20:08
eudoxianoted20:09
foucistyo yo homies20:14
joshcryerdelinquentme_, an hour a day.20:14
foucisti mix it up with yo, hola, sup20:14
foucisttoo many sups is just as bad20:14
joshcryerAnd I do a 6 mile run every weekend.20:14
joshcryerA 6 mile sprint even.20:14
foucistbut you gotta personalize the 'yo' otherwise it's kinda rude20:14
yashgarothalso you can't use sup sup, unlike most other short greetings20:14
delinquentme_i want the head throb ...20:14
eudoxiaI liked yashgaroth's "guten tag bro"20:14
joshcryerdelinquentme_, what kind of side effect?20:14
kanzurenaturally i recommend yashgaroth's exercise program (fucking up yer myocytes)20:15
foucistjoshcryer: i want to get into 8x100m sprints, or better20:15
yashgarothoh hey kanzure I threw up the outline for that on Steel's forum20:15
yashgarothnot ab-punching, the myostatin thing20:15
delinquentme_its the only way I can think to describe it .. i *THINK* i've gotten it from really intense exercise but but its b een a while since I've had it20:15
kanzureyashgaroth: link20:15
yashgarothhttp://transhumani.com/topic61.html20:16
kanzureah so that's his forum20:16
joshcryerfoucist, I can do my 6 mile sprint in about 35 minutes. Trying to get it under 30 minutes. And I'm at altitude.20:16
joshcryerdelinquentme_, that's a bad side effect to want to get, imo.20:16
foucistjoshcryer: do you have a sprinter's build or a marathoner's ?20:17
yashgarothsounds more like dehydration than anything else20:17
delinquentme_joshcryer, really?20:17
delinquentme_like its not throbbing but that feeling that my brains b een flushed through20:17
delinquentme_i feel really attuned w that specific mild pain idk20:17
delinquentme_makes me feel quite alert20:18
delinquentme_want moar20:18
joshcryerfoucist, more closer to a marathoners, I have major endurance. I do p90x as my primary exercise regime, but I sprint to burn fat. It's possibly the highest fat burning thing you can possibly do.20:18
kanzureyashgaroth: this wasn't the writeup that i was hoping for20:18
kanzureor that i thought you said you'd do20:18
yashgarothlike, the gene I chose, or something else20:18
kanzurewell, i guess you cover the details20:19
kanzurebut including a budget is also important20:19
yashgarothman, money is like, a creation of, like...stuff, and stuff20:19
kanzureprobably20:20
joshcryerDown with money.20:20
joshcryer:P20:20
yashgarothI can work something up, but it depends whether I count equipment available at my current lab, etc20:20
kanzureyashgaroth: don't count it20:20
kanzuresome of it is not fair to count ("Oh and i also happen to have this magical $50,000 hplc at my disposal, so fuck you")20:21
kanzureand some things are obv. easier to build than others20:21
yashgarothwell that is the most expensive part, but there's old pharmacia machines on ebay that I could maybe work with20:22
kanzurealso if you could be bothered, including a few sentences about testing/verification along the way20:22
kanzuretesting whether or not your plasmid is correct is easy (sequencing) but there's also other verification methods20:22
kanzureplus testing whether or not your electroporator is deadly is a relatively easy task20:22
yashgarothI've got an arm to spare20:22
kanzurebut effective electroporation will probably require animal testing?20:22
kanzureor at last some equivalent cell culture20:23
yashgaroththe parameters are different enough in mice and humans (or cell culture) that there's not too much I could do, aside from function testing20:23
yashgarothcertainly won't be able to optimize it too well20:23
kanzureright20:23
yashgarothanyway I'm trusting that thomasegi knows enough EE to not get me killed with the electroporator20:25
kanzureon an unrelated note is there a name for a virus that encodes a special 2nd-generation genome? i.e. after penetrating a cell it would create only capsids based on this particular region in its genome20:25
yashgarothnah, just 'engineered'; all viral vectors do something like that, though they don't normally express a capsid20:27
-!- zacharycohn [~zacharyco@c-98-247-247-157.hsd1.wa.comcast.net] has joined ##hplusroadmap20:28
yashgarothdepends how tricky you want to get, like several possible capsid proteins depending on the cell type it infects, etc20:29
kanzureeh, just things like "well, the first one should get it to the right cell type, the second one should increase the infection rate" etc.20:35
yashgarothno one's really tried anything like that, though it is possible, especially with viruses that carry two genome copies20:39
delinquentme_cbut effective electroporation will probably require animal testing?20:41
delinquentme_^^ cant you just grow on antibiotic agar?20:41
yashgaroththere's a number of papers out already on various electroporation techniques20:41
yashgaroth^you mean the viruses? no20:41
delinquentme_ohh you're testing viral uptake20:42
yashgarothI think he wants to do most of the viral production in the target's body, rather than growing/purifying a large quantity separately20:43
delinquentme_this is not the oligos you're talking about20:49

joshcryerWhy weren't the people in Alien's cybernetic then?23:14
joshcryerI'd somehow overlooked that Weyland had anything to do with Aliens.23:14
