@kanzure"The famous "bible" of chemistry, The Merck Index, is to join the highly acclaimed publishing portfolio of the Royal Society of Chemistry."08:02
@fenni thought the "bible of chemistry" was the crc handbook09:02
@fennperhaps the merck index is the new testament09:02
@kanzurehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merck_Index09:03
@kanzure"The Merck Index is also available by subscription in an electronic searchable form, commonly carried by research libraries, as well as in a web-accessible form."09:03
@kanzureoh so now there's an "electronic searchable form" and a "web-accessible form"... wtf.09:03
@kanzure"It contains more than 10,000 monographs, 27 supplemental tables, 450 Organic Name Reactions, and now includes a companion CD!" oh boy a CD?!09:04
@fennwell let's see what's on it http://thepiratebay.se/torrent/7520594/The_Merck_Index_13.1_CD09:08

@kanzurethese databases are available through paywalls at universities09:50
@kanzurethere are many proprietary databases just sitting there with all this info09:50
@fennwhat is the interface like? can you do real API queries or is it just some web form?09:54

delinquentmeHas anyone sat down and taken inventory of the qualities they look for in someone who manages them?11:26
delinquentmespecifically the relationship to power versus passion?11:26
@kanzurewhat do you mean versus11:26
@kanzurewhat11:26
delinquentmelike would you prefer one over another?11:26
@kanzureneither of those two things matter to me11:27
delinquentmelike I'm okay working in my current spot bc this person clearly has more power than my previous employer11:27
delinquentme( at least I think )11:27
delinquentmebut the other dude didn't even have passion11:27
@kanzurewho cares how much he passion he claims to have11:27
@kanzure*much passion11:27
@kanzurehe can claim zero or a million and still be wrong either way11:27
@kanzurehave you read the valve management handbook?11:28

kirkakanzure I wanted to be sure, heh (and maybe I misunderstood you a little then)11:30
delinquentmekanzure, no but I value passion highly so I think I might already disagree11:32
@kanzurepassion can be faked, why would you value that?11:32
@kanzurehow about valuing results11:32
delinquentmekanzure, perhaps11:33
delinquentmeand results are unquestionable11:33
@kanzurethey are?11:33
kirkakanzure Don't you know any forum on MNT? (I have searched but haven't found anything. Seems that some people from sci.nanotech would like to have such a forum)11:34
@kanzurekirka: eugen leitl keeps some nanotech people around on his transhuman-tech mailing list11:35
kirkaThanks, I'll look11:35
@kanzuremems-talk does slightly-larger-than nano stuff.11:35
@kanzureand nanoengineer-dev is the only one with software developers11:35
kirkaIt's strange that there isn't much technical discussion on MNT on the net.11:35
@kanzurethat's because they keep publishing their discussions in proprietary academic journals that nobody has access to11:36
kirkaYes, I don't like paywalls11:36
kirkaActually, there is one good paper11:36
kirkahttp://phys.org/news/2012-11-artificial-ion-channels-dna-origami.html11:36
kirkaI think that's breakthrough11:37
archelshttp://synapses.clm.utexas.edu/learn/visualize/serial.stm11:38
archelsman, we were this far in 2002?11:38
kirkakanzure But IMM, Freitas & co publish their papers freely. I think there must be another reason for lack of interest in MNT.11:38
kirkaMaybe people are just tired11:38
@kanzurefreitas is not evidence of a lack of interest11:38
kirkaYes, quite the opposite11:39
kirkaBut he, Merkle and people affilated with anofactory collaboration is, maybe, 20 or 30 men11:39
kirkaToday's scientific community seems largely ignorant of mechanosythesis11:43
kirkaI have asked some physics students11:43
kirkaAnd even two students that study "nanotechnology"11:43
kirkaNobody haven't heard about mechanosynthesis11:44
kirkaAnd it's difficult for them to understand the concepts' utility11:44
kirkaMy sample could be small, something like ten people11:46
kirkaBut anyway.11:46
@fennarchels: the contact has a microlens array built in to focus (demagnify) the LED11:46
-!- emancipate is now known as emancipated11:47
kirkaDoes anybody have acces to this paper? http://dx.doi.org/10.1126/science.122562411:47
kirkaIt's cool11:47
@fennlols "some people from sci.nanotech would like to have a MNT forum"11:48
@fennthat is just so sad11:48
kirkafenn Yes11:48
kirkasci.nanotech dies11:48
kirkaANd what's more frightening the very idea of MNT seems dying11:48
@fennit's a conspiracy! time lords from the ulterior dimension have reorchestrated congress!!111:48
kirkaYou know, I have talked to students and they haven't heard about it11:49
kirkaThey have heard about "nanotechnology", maybe "nanobots" (what a bad word)11:49
@fennevery time i talk to anyone either they gush uncontrollably or it's all eye-rolling 'been there done that, so over it'11:50
@fennbut really the field was never given a chance11:50
kirkaWell, I have hope and I can help a little. With software for example.11:51
kirkaActually, I think there should be a forum, devoted to MNT.11:51
@fennwhat i think really needs to happen is for a large company such as IBM to throw some serious investment into studying the mechanosynthetic reactions themselves11:52

@fennsure it will all be patent encumbered for eternity, but at least it would happen11:52
@fennand if they have all the patents in one place it's not a minefield11:52
kirkaThis grant is already good: http://gow.epsrc.ac.uk/NGBOViewGrant.aspx?GrantRef=EP/G007837/111:53
@fennwouldn't it suck if humanity knew how to place carbon and remove the hydrogen groups but no one company were legally allowed to do both reactions?11:53
kirkaAnd Zyvex makes progress11:53
@fennzyvex is still functioning?11:53
kirka>no one company were legally allowed11:54
kirkaThat's uncontrollable on global scale11:54
kirkaYes11:54
@fennin that grant, why is room-temperature capability important?11:55
kirkaI don't knoe11:56
kirka*know11:56
kirkaLook http://www.psma.com/sites/default/files/uploads/tech-forums-nanotechnology/presentations/2011-apec-sp-141-nanotechnology-about-nano-precision.pdf11:56
kirkaZyvex has some success with PALE11:56
kirkaIt's "unpublished"11:56
@fennlame11:56
@kanzurekirka: foresight.org runs yearly in-person conferences, you should pester them to record them and post them online11:59
@fenni'm here to tell you that "one micron" is not "normal precision machining"11:59
kirkaMicromachining isn't interesting11:59

@fennit should be possible to machine blocks to small enough that they contain discernable numbers of atoms; then you sort the blocks (try not to let them stick together) and assemble the ones with the correct dimensions12:01

kirkaLook at github, I have revived nanocad12:02
eudoxiaactually i think i told kanzure about that12:02
eudoxiaand i saw your new repo12:02
kirkaI found out by mysle12:02
eudoxiai initially thought you were going to roll your own nanoengineer12:02
@kanzurenanocad.git has none of his revision history12:03
kirkaI have read old mailing lists about NanoCAD development12:03
kirkakanzure Yes, I have downloaded archive12:03
@kanzurewhat is README.txt.bak for?12:03
kirkaIt's his software, I just created backup12:03
kirkaThat's artifact12:03
kirkaI'll remove that later12:03
kirkaYou are so perfectionist~12:04
@kanzureyes12:04
@fennhe wasn't always that way12:04
@kanzurei got hit in the head by a radioactive meteorite12:05
Mariulol12:05
kirkakanzure You seemed more enthusiastic about MNT in 2009 (I hav read some logs). Do you think that synthetic biology is more real alternative (for now) ?12:05
eudoxiathese days i just stay out of archived late nineties mnt discussions because it's so depressing12:06
eudoxiaso depressing12:06
@kanzurekirka: why do you say i was more enthusiastic?12:06
kirkaeudoxia Well, the very thing that we know about it (and we are young) means that there is hope.12:06
@kanzuresynthetic biology is not mnt, i don't know who told you that12:06
kirkakanzure I just  get that feeling when I read logs. Maybe I'm mistaken.12:07
@kanzureyou are mistaken.12:07
kirkaOf course12:07
kirkaBut synthetic biology is an approach for creating working molecular machinery12:07
@kanzureuh, i guess.12:07
@kanzureif your goal is to produce proteins, yes, biology is useful12:07
@fenni agree on this point. the confusing part is that proteins were evolved, not designed, so people think they must be floppy and weird12:08
kirkaYes, proteins and enzymes12:08
-!- emancipated is now known as emancipate12:08
@kanzurefenn: well, i haven't seen a cuboid protein12:08
kirkaMy goal is to use them for productive work12:08
@fennrecent designed proteins have very high denaturation temperatures, because they aren't teetering on the edge of catastrophe (in the catastrophe theory sense)12:08
kirkaE.g. grow good polymer for some application12:09
@fennthis is in fact eric drexler's current stance12:09

@fennnot graphene, beta pleated sheets12:24
@fennyou know, it's rather surprising nobody has made a cubic protein yet12:25
@kanzurewhat about virus capsids? are any of those cube-like?12:25
kirka* Dreams of enzyme that catalyses growth of strong fiber12:25
@fennno, but they're almost always regular or snub polyhedra12:25
@fenncubes just aren't energetically favorable12:26
Cat4Dhas anyone bothered to make a tzolkin or long count calendar for this week's solstice? http://www.maya3d.mobi is close but there are 5 gear rings.12:26
@kanzuremaybe the dna origami pimps have done a cube12:27
kirkaeudoxia You know Will Ware wrote first versions of NanoCAD in common lisp (and/or scheme)12:27
eudoxiai thought it was a java applet12:27
@fennyes they have done many cube-based structures (including cubes)12:27
@kanzureeudoxia: scheme can be compiled to run on the jvm12:28
kirkaeudoxia Then he switched to java, because tehre wasn't much lispers12:28

eudoxiain space and what have youy12:40
kirkaAnd some are run at sapce12:40
@kanzurearchive.org's index page for files takes forever to load thanks to all of the javascript12:40
@kanzureit forces the page to finish loading before the javascript is done, so you can't do anything12:40
@fennyes i'm a big fan of lisp scheme etc12:40
@kanzurebut if you wget the index page it's actually easier to navigate12:40

jrayhawkit's true, i am indeed a cruel and vicious monster12:46
@kanzurehow about instead of a forum, you just continue talking with people in here12:46
kirkaIt's ok, but there is a few12:46
@fennlet's petition congress to create a fund for research development and promotion of nanotechnology ... oh wait12:46
@kanzurealthough, i do think pestering foresight.org to post their videos would be useful12:46
nmz787when XCOM0 is a grep command, then there is this if if [ -n "$XCOM0" ] || [ ! "$XCOM0" = "" ]; then echo $XCOM112:46
kirkaI think we need some good articles12:46
nmz787what is the -n12:46
eudoxiahaha fenn that's not funny :(12:47
nmz787i need some good particles12:47

nmz787:D12:47
nmz787i was joke12:48
@kanzurehow original..12:48
@kanzureok12:48
jrayhawkactually -n is 'the length of STRING is nonzero'12:48
nmz787that makes more sense12:48
@kanzureah i see that now12:48
nmz787so is there any benefit for if [ -n "$XCOM0" ] || [ ! "$XCOM0" = "" ]; then12:48
nmz787having the two cases12:49
@kanzurekirka: the other thing that i'm disappointed abouti s the lack of continued contributions to nanoengineer from the original development team12:49
-!- ivan`_ is now known as ivan`12:49
@kanzurekirka: what has drexler been doing exactly? why doesn't he publish his software?12:49
kirkakanzure Yes, that's sad12:49
@kanzurethey are a bunch of jerks anyway..12:49
kirkakanzure He isn't a programmer as far as I know12:49
@kanzurenanoengineer needs to be split into separate python modules without the gui12:49
kirkaYes12:49
kirkaI agree12:49
@kanzure"import nanoengineer" doesn't really work, except in the non-gui branch. but that's because i used mocks.12:50
kirkaACtually, being honest, I'm already developing architecture for simple molecular CAD, UHV-nanotech oriented.12:50

kirkaI'll have time for that after january 15th12:51
nmz787kirka: why have we only talked about CNC before?12:51
kirkaI think minimal cad won't be larger than 2k lisp lines of code12:51
@fenndoes everyone re-use those same atom scale gear animations?12:51
@kanzurefenn: yes12:52
@kanzurefenn: sad isn't it12:52
kirkanmz787 I have some interest in CNC, there is some stepper motor graveyard in my home, heh12:52
@fennsomehow it seems more "real" by leaving in the thermal noise artifacts (which should be blurred out on the gear rotation timescale)12:52
kirkaACtually, these gears are very far into the future12:52
kirkaYou know this fo course12:52
@fennyeah, i'll be impressed if we can make carbon anything12:53
kirkaJust manufacturing diamond strained shell bearing won't be easy12:53
nmz787"once upon a time people thought they could make atomic gears"12:53
kirkaI'm thinking about minimal prt sets12:53
eudoxiai'm waiting for an ab-initio simulation of those gears12:53
jrayhawkI can slap up vhosts reasonably easily for Sympa, which is a sort of web forum/mailing list hybrid12:53
@kanzurejrayhawk: i don't think these people will like sympa, to be honest12:53
kirkaeudoxia Yes, that'd be interesting12:53
eudoxiai mean even freitas and merkle have admitted they have only done MDs and don't know if there will be mechanosynthethic reactions between the gears12:53
@kanzurejrayhawk: the reason they want forums is because they are familiar with those layouts, and i don't really want to mod sympa for that12:53
@fenni think people prefer forums because they can be divided up into sub-forums12:54
@fennand of course the web browsing aspect12:54
@kanzurepeople prefer forums because they don't know how to use email12:54
@fennyeah, that's that i meant12:54
@fennfuck why did wave have to die12:55
@fennnow we're stuck with phpbb for eternity12:55
kirkaThere is a lot of black boxes in Nanosystems12:55
eudoxiai don't even know how to use mailinglists12:55
@kanzureno we're stuck with phpbb, disqus, discuz, ikonboard, invisionboard, infopop, ubb, vbulletin, smf, and a million other shitty things.12:55
kirkaI think that it would be useful to design and analyse additional simple  components12:55
kirkaRod logic element for example (springs, etc aren't obvious)12:56
@kanzurefenn: also there's a community-supported version of wave somewhere12:56
kirkaAnd method of manufacturing for rods12:56
kirkaHow do we "tear" rod from substrate?12:56
kirkaThat bugs me12:56
@fennthe sticky fingers problem?12:56
eudoxiadude kirka12:56
eudoxiabuild things on a germanium layer12:57
eudoxiathat is etched away12:57
kirkaThat's not bad12:57
@fennare rods built separate from the mechanism, or built in place like a 3d printer?12:57
kirkaSo the first dimers will be held in place by non-covalent  forces?12:57
* fenn hasn't actually read nanosystems12:58
kirkafenn Probably separate12:58
kirkaBut it isn't described there12:58
kirka>etched away12:59
kirkaeudoxia SO there should be separate tool for adding dimer to Ge surface?12:59
eudoxiai was thinking PALE13:00
eudoxiaat least for an initial layer13:00
kirkaAha, that's another story.13:00
eudoxiayou are rigth: the dimer tools have Ge behind the dimers, they only work for depositing the dimers on C surfaces13:00
kirkaSomething weaker than Ge13:01
kirkaSi13:01
eudoxiaotherwise it's Ge on both sides and that will fuck up the error rates13:01
kirkaBut it won't be reliable13:01
eudoxiawe're running out of Group IV kirka13:01
kirkaAnd etching isn't allowed in mechanosynthesis13:01
kirkaHehe13:01
eudoxianext down is lead i think13:01
jrayhawksympa is pretty low investment for us and has a lot of desirable characteristics, so we don't really need to speculate about its suboptimalities, we can just build it and see if people come13:01
@kanzurejrayhawk: okay fine13:02
kirkajeayhawk Are you talking about some bbs-line engine?13:02
jrayhawkwhat do those words even mean13:02
@kanzurehahah13:03
kirkaSorry, a lot of typos13:03
kirkabbs-like of course13:03
@kanzuredepends on what you mean by bbs... if you consider newsgroups and mailing lists and forums to be bbs like, then anything is possible13:03
kirkaeudoxia I was wrong with Si, maybe Sn would do it.13:04
jrayhawkwell, you can telnet into port 80 and pretend you're using a really ugly BBS13:04
jrayhawkreally ugly, really tedious BBS13:04
kirkaNew generation uses imageboards, heh13:04
@kanzurenot really13:04
jrayhawkclearly i should embed ANSI art in HTML comments for people who try to do that.13:05
@kanzurejrayhawk: also, the chinese call php forums (like 'discuz' (not 'disqus')) bbs13:05
jrayhawkah13:05
@kanzureso that complicates things13:05
jrayhawkif you don't mind me hijacking the entire local part namespace for diyhpl.us, you can MX it over to mail.svcs.cs.pdx.edu13:06
@fennis there some kind of meta forum scraper interface so i can read forum posts from a command line?13:06
jrayhawkthey often have RSS/Atom feeds13:07
kirkaeudoxia Well, I think it'll be very useful to analyze these questions. And design some structures for manufacturability.13:07
@kanzurefenn: there's boardreader and rss stuff, but you can't reply by rss and boardreader doesn't have a cli ui13:07
@fennjrayhawk: but that's only recent posts right? typically i want to read threads that are years old13:07
@kanzureman why isn't cli ui called clui ("they haven't got a clui")13:07
@kanzurefenn: nope doesn't exist.13:07
jrayhawkRSS interfaces are often parameterized. "?past=100000" or some such13:07
@kanzurei wrote a common api to interact with forums like that, but it was primarily for spamming purposes13:07
eudoxiakirka did you make that thread on /sci/13:08

kirkaI haven't read 4chan for years13:08
@kanzurelet's see.. which thread is he talking about http://boards.4chan.org/sci/13:08

kirkaI think that if somebody downloads the book and will read that a little, that'll be a good thing13:09
@kanzurebtw, pmetzger made a nanotech facebook group that he wanted to be high quality13:09
@kanzurebut sadly the only contribution was my post on nanoengineer13:09
@kanzureso i'm pretty sure perry failed at his mission13:09
kirkaOn one russian imageboard I had something like 80 downloads13:10
jrayhawkhaha "facebook" "high quality"13:10
@kanzurejrayhawk: yes i agree13:10
@kanzurebut hey, i was being friendly and helped him out13:10
kirkaI don't have accounts in any social networks (irrational feelings towards data mining)13:10
@kanzurepretty weird for someone who just suggested a forum13:10
@fenn4chan is about as anonymous as you can get without resorting to tor13:11
@kanzurealso, this is the second time in the last 48 hours someone has linked me to my github repos13:11
kirkaForums are perceived as something "oldschool" these days13:11
@kanzuresomeone else posted a link to my github account in /vp/13:11

@fennand popups and redirect loops and endless upsells13:17
@fenn"are you SURE you want to download the file at REGULAR SLOW speed?"13:17
@kanzureand all of the ads that you're never quite sure if they really are ads13:17
@kanzurei usually have excellent ad detection skills, and those ads are getting really good at looking like the right thing to click. almost.13:17
@fennand then it hangs because the javascript was bad or something, and you can't download the file anyway13:17

@fenni bet from an information theoretic perspective, more copies that are individually less reliable are more reliable in aggregate13:57
kirkaThat's good point13:57
@fennalso it may turn out that smaller devices are more easily fabricated13:57

@fennyou're back at stonehenge, i mean it's still there right? pretty reliable13:59
kirkaAs the end target super-miniaturization is ok13:59
@fenni would be surprised if there doesn't already exist a mechanical logic system made of protein, we just have to recognize it13:59
kirkaBut complex side group chemistry of polyyne rods will require advanced toolsets14:00
@kanzurehuh? receptors are mechanical logic.14:00
kirkaYou are right14:00
kirkaYes, e.g. Rhodopsin14:00
kirkaIt changes conformation when a photon hits him14:01
@fennpolyynes dont have side groups14:01
@kanzureyes we know about rhodopsins14:01
@kanzurebut that's not what i mean by mechanical14:01
kirkafenn knobs?14:01
kirkakanzure What then?14:02
kirkaAh, receptors14:02
@kanzureg-signal crap14:02
@fennwhy does that require "advaned toolsets"? nature does it already, apparently: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyyne#Biological_origins14:02
kirkaOk14:03
kirkaI'm still dreaming that with UHV-STM could help in bypassing "biological bootstrap".14:04
kirka*that UHV-STM14:04
@fennwell, plain old organic chemistry even14:05
@fennto be honest i don't really understand the rod logic idea, so i should go read that book14:05
kirkaThat's quite simple14:06
kirkahttp://www.zyvex.com/nanotech/mechano.html14:06
kirkaBut it's very mechanical14:06
kirka"Showing utter contempt for chemistry" as someone said14:07
@fenn"The entire computation could in principle be performed by a single block of complexly shaped oscillating elastic material." is what i'm saying14:07
kirkaThat's more complex14:07
kirkaIt's Merkle's ideas14:07
kirkahttp://www.halcyon.com/nanojbl/NanoConProc/nanocon2.html14:08
@fenni don't agree that it will dissipate no energy though, otherwise how do you do anything at all? (bit erasure energy)14:08
kirkaHe is into reversible logic14:08
@fennmeh14:08
kirkaThat's complex too14:08
kirkaWe need just rod logic14:08
kirkaHmph seems nanosystems' treatment of rod logic is simpler than anything evailable on the internet14:10
kirka*available14:10
kirkahttp://www.halcyon.com/nanojbl/Images/RodGate1.gif14:10
kirkahttp://www.halcyon.com/nanojbl/Images/RodGate2.gif14:10
kirka"1" means ther is knob which belongs to rod that's perpendicular to the image14:11
kirkaIf ther is at least one knob, then the main rod cannot slide14:12
@fennhmm this isn't OCR'd14:12
kirkaThat's it, you have a switch.14:12
kirkaWhen I'll have full design of logic rod cell, register and a couple of other components, I can design a whole CPU.14:14
kirkaI have some experience with that.14:14
@kanzurefenn: there's a nanosystems.tar.gz on the server which isn't OCR'd if you'd like that version14:15
kirkaFor the begininng, of course, I'll do simple things like full adder14:15
@fennyeah i have that version already, thanks14:15
@fennkirka might want it though14:15
kirkakanzure my DJVU isn't OCR'd too14:15
@kanzurewho the hell uses djvu14:15
@kanzurewhat?14:15
@fennit's much higher resolution than the djvu file14:15
kirkaAh, could be14:15
kirkaI find 15 mb djvu more convenient14:16
kirkaWait14:16
@fenndjvu is pretty good compression ratio; it can store text layout and images. what more do you want?14:16
kirkaI have compressed it lossless14:16
@kanzurehmm where did i put it14:16
@kanzure2012-09-21.log:08:34 < kirka> That's it http://gnusha.org/stuff_to_deal_with/nanosystems.tar.gz14:17
@kanzurei wonder why that doesn't exist14:17
@kanzurelousy place to store it anyway14:17
@fennby definition14:18
@kanzurefenn: if you have a copy could you upload it? it would take me an hour or something.14:18
kirkaI have a copy14:18
kirkaBut it's too late for today14:18
@fenni only have .jpg's i made from the original .png's14:18
@fennwhy isnt the original .quark file available? sheesh14:19
@fennall this stupid reverse engineering14:19
@kanzurei don't understand why merkle doesn't have a giant file drop of all these things14:20
@kanzurei guess it doesn't occur to people that http is a nice thing to serve14:21
kirkaBye, I'm sleeping14:23

@kanzureso, after looking at nanoengineer's code for months, i'm not convinced there's anything useful in there14:24
@kanzuremost of it is gui stuff14:24
@kanzureand the stuff that isn't gui stuff is riddled with gui stuff anyway14:24
@fennis this surprising? it's a GUI program after all14:25
@kanzuretheoretically there's a core library14:25
@kanzurewith the file format stuff (which, surprise, is not separable)14:25
@fennnot separable from what?14:25
@kanzurefrom all the other code14:26
@kanzurei should be able to "import nanoengineer" in python and get useful things, not a gui.14:26
@fennah14:26
@fennmake it so, number one14:26
@fenn:set editor=vaporize14:26
@fenndo you have an archive of _Nanotechnology_ by IOPP?14:28

yashgarothyeah sorry I was joking, y'know borg cubes and all17:39
@kanzurewell some fucking biologist thought it would be funny to name his protein borg1 apparently17:39
yashgarothit's all about the puns, gotta stand out from the crowd of 100,000 other proteins17:39
@kanzureif they take up all the cool names with trivial crap, what are we going to name the really cool shit17:40
yashgaroththere's no formal rule against using profanity, and naming your protein 'Fuck' would certainly help keep it out of all the shitty pop-sci articles17:41
