@fennwhy do people think ben goertzel has anything useful to say at all?00:56
@fenni just don't get it. he's been rambling on for years and has a glorified chatbot to show for his efforts00:57
ziwbragoertzel appears to be working in the orthodox view of extending the back sides of AI textbooks00:57
ziwbraI mean00:57
ziwbraif you get an AI textbook, the back chapters deal with probabilistic logic00:57
@fennand?00:58
ziwbraand so in some sense, he is just extending AI research as it is00:58

jonathan__"Brainstorming New Ways To Test If Cosmos Is One Big Computer Simulation"    "In a Philosophical Quarterly paper authored by Nick Bostrom, a philosophy professor at Oxford University in the U.K., Bostrom posits that what we observe as our universe may in fact be a very advanced simulation designed by our distant progeny."06:22
jonathan__"Bostrom says if such simulations are being run, their creators are probably some form of super-intelligent post human civilization. He says the technology needed to create such simulations is so advanced that a civilization capable of generating such numerical models would presumably have already used their advanced technological prowess to also enhance their own intelligence."06:23

jonathan__lol  no man, we are *in* the matrix07:40
jonathan__it's all around us, man07:40
@archelsBut why would a superintelligence put so much time and effort into simulating such measly lifeforms as ourselves?07:40
jonathan__they are looking for the answer to 6 x 7 of course07:43
EnLilaSkoWhy do people play The Sims?07:43
jonathan__as a bonus, they get to study me, as I am infinitely interesting07:43
jonathan__dude man, maybe he will discover.... "God" !07:44
jonathan__'and on the seventh day, God pressed pause on his playstation 3.'07:45
@archelsjonathan__: Does Bostrom talk about whether the underlying, 'real' universe has laws similar to ours or might be completely different?07:48
jonathan__i dunno, would have to look up the guy's papers or etc.  there was something about how the simulation created 4 dimensions.  and how quantum mech would reveal "the code".   oh and a nice allusion to string theory of course.07:49
jonathan__bogus crack-smokin hypotheses always comes down to string theory...   obviously watched too many bad episodes of that one star trek with the holodeck07:51
@archelsoh ya. There's probably an analog to Godwin's law for quantum mechanics in these types of discussions.07:51

gradstudentbotCoffee? Never tried it.08:03
@kanzure"HAHA it's so funny that i can make an observation about dictatorships, aren't i clever?" nope..08:04
@kanzurebesides, i never implied that and assuming that i implied that is the worst. what i implied was that everyone is awful, and that it the topic is off-topic, not that i have ultimate knowledge of philosophical questions. what a douchebag.08:06
jonathan__a reminder of basic modern economy theory:   a dollar represents work, though for an organization or non-profit activity like open source, a dollar represents a vote.  He with the most dollars has accumulated the most votes.  this is how the market votes, with dollars.  the most popular projects are voted to the top by collecting the most dollars.08:07
@kanzureyawn, that's really broken and wrong too. i can have $0 and still build amazing projects out of my own effort.08:08

@kanzurewhy did you bring up "modern economy theory" in particular?08:11
chris_99http://www.lifesaversystems.com/lifesaver-products/lifesaver-bottle seems a really cool idea, the filters are really cheap too, £20 for 4, with a 0.015 micron filter08:18

@kanzurethe digital phase shifter (in the second one) sounds like a good idea08:23
@kanzureman of steel is what dbz should have been08:41
@kanzurei mean the dbz movie08:41
@kanzurei guess that was actually a dragonball movie and they have a chance to redeem the franchise08:42
@kanzureexcept the story is too similar ("didn't you know? you were supposed to take over the planet.")08:42

@archelsTaylor & Francis? Are they any good?11:44
@kanzureno idea. they might be less evil than elsevier but that's not hard.11:45
@archelsInforma plc is a multinational publishing and conference company with its head office in Zug, Switzerland and its registered office in St Helier, Jersey.[3] It has offices in more than 43 countries and more than 8,500 employees. It owns numerous brands including AchieveGlobal, CRC Press, Datamonitor, Institute for International Research, ESI International, Lloyd's List, Routledge and Taylor & Francis.11:45
@kanzurei didn't know that taylor & francis owned crc11:45
@kanzureoh is this informaworld?11:46
@kanzure"Its online publishing portal Informaworld provided subscribers with more than half a million journal articles and 13,000 e-books from all its imprints.[17] In June 2011 the journals and e-books transferred to a new website, Taylor & Francis Online"11:46
@kanzure"Abstracting and indexing databases and bibliographic databases were to move from Informaworld to Taylor & Francis Online at a later date.[18]"11:47
@kanzuretoo bad the academic community isn't good at keeping people informed about which publishers are switching sites or merging or whatever11:48

@kanzure"The CRC Press was originally founded as the Chemical Rubber Company (CRC), which supplied laboratory equipment to chemists. In 1913 the CRC offered a short (116-page) manual called the Rubber Handbook as an incentive to purchase one of their products.[1] Since then the Rubber Handbook has evolved into the CRC's flagship book, the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics.[1] In 1973, in light of the success of its publishing ventures, the ...11:49
@kanzure... company changed its name to CRC Press, Inc, and exited the manufacturing business.[1] In 1986 it was bought by the Times Mirror Company; in 1997/98 it became a publicly held company. In 2003 CRC became part of Taylor & Francis, which in 2004 became part of the UK publisher Informa.[1]"11:49

@kanzure"In 1900, Arthur Friedman a student at Case School of Applied Science in Cleveland, Ohio, and his brothers Leo and Emmanuel, started a part-time enterprise to produce rubber aprons and sell them to chemistry laboratories. They published the first edition of the Handbook of Chemistry and Physics in 1913 as a marketing incentive, giving a copy away with each sale of a dozen or more aprons. Designed to fit in the pockets of those aprons, the ...11:51
@kanzure... little book provided chemists with all the essential chemical data they needed."11:51
@kanzuretoo bad they gave up on their pocketbook goal11:52
@kanzureit's weird how proud they are that they have a CD... isn't it a little late to be boasting about CDs? what about DVDs or blu-rays? and why not just give me a phone with the data on it instead of a 2500 page dead tree? at least a phone will fit in my apron pocket.11:53

Burninatethat can fit in the apron pocket12:20
BurninateI wonder what it costs to print the full 8lb super-phonebook size12:22
@kanzuree-reader/phone same thing, right?12:23
@kanzure"something with a screen that goes beep boop"12:23
Burninatesomething that *they can distribute*12:23
Burninateship a Kindle in a box with a broken SD card port and 8GB of CRC data on it12:23
@kanzurei suppose i would be less annoyed with an e-reader thing, because on android i would expect things like searching and they probably wouldn't implement searching because they hate their readers12:23
@kanzuresure12:23
Burninateif they want to DRM their shit end to end12:24
@kanzureugh12:25
@kanzurethat just makes me even more annoyed and even less likely to recommend their product12:25
@kanzure"more annoyed" i mean, when i have to circumvent their drm.12:26
Burninateno12:26
BurninateI'm saying create a literal completely locked down device that gives CRC handbook and only CRC handbook12:26
Burninatethat does not weigh 8lbs12:26
@kanzurebut drm doesn't work. why wouldn't i just intercept the data between the screen and the device?12:26
BurninateWhy not just scan the handbook?12:27
@kanzurewe did!12:27
@kanzurethat's why i was asking about ocr solutions (above)12:27
@kanzureso far nothing has been able to reliably extract numbers from the scanned pages12:27
Burninate0.o12:27
@kanzurethere's some "pdf to data table" tools, but they all expect pdfs that aren't scans.. but that's cheating and what's the point. getting good data from scans is the hard part.12:28

@kanzureyashgaroth: so why haven't we done a black market antibody thing yet?20:03
yashgarothtakes a bit to set up, and I don't know too many people to sell to20:03
@kanzurewell, the story sort of sells itself20:04
@kanzureit would be possible to get it into the news20:04
yashgarothnot the good kind of news20:04
@kanzureand then just wait for the right sort of customer to show up20:04
@kanzurenah20:04
@kanzurewe could do it anonymously20:04
@kanzurein fact, it might be possible to operate entirely on top of science exchange20:04
yashgaroth"black market antibody sales are on the rise...by somebody. more at 11"20:04
@kanzurei wonder if we could convince someone working through science exchange to copy a monoclonal antibody?20:05
yashgarothdoubt it, maybe some chinese company20:06
gradstudentbotShould I still be wearing gloves?20:06
gradstudentbotWhere did you put my samples?20:07
yashgarothmonoclonals are trickier than Fc fusions, since for a fusion you can source the entire sequence from your own genome20:08
yashgarothe.g. etanercept since they just pull out the Fc sequence from immune cells, and TNF-a from wherever that gets expressed20:09
@kanzurehow many cycles of selection does it typically take with antibodies? or is that not the right technique?20:10
@kanzurei know with aptamers you have to select/sequence a bunch of times to get specificity extremely high.20:10
yashgarothfor drug discovery? thousands20:10
@kanzurethousands, on the 'same' antibody?20:11
@kanzureor is it thousands, until you find something that works for your target?20:11
yashgaroththe latter, and then thousands more variants20:11
yashgarothnovel discovery is pretty much impossible without serious funding20:11
yashgarothfor copying a monoclonal, you'd very likely have to get its unique binding site sequence synthesized, then pasted into a generic backbone20:12
yashgarothand that synthesis will be recorded when the piratee company's lawyers start investigating20:12
@kanzurei wonder if there's any aptamer<->antibody tricks because it seems like aptamers are much easier to mutate in your favor20:13
@kanzureyou could have an antibody that binds specifically to your aptamer dna or something, and then uses that as its receptor?20:14
@kanzures/receptor/discriminator/20:14
@kanzureprolly wont work20:14
yashgaroththere's lots of ways, but translating between the two rarely works20:14
@kanzureoh, i didn't mean novel discovery20:15
yashgarothif you have a peptide aptamer you can't just stick it into an antibody and expect the same specificity20:15
@kanzurei mostly meant "someone sends an antibody, then you make a pirate production pipeline"20:15
@kanzureyou know.. for all the kids with rare blood diseases or something.20:15
yashgarothsends an antibody sequence or their prescribed medication antibody?20:15
@kanzurephysically sends a sample20:15
@kanzuremaybe also plus sequence20:16
yashgarothwell if it's prescribed you can find the sequence in the inevitable patent stack20:16
yashgarothif in the bizarre cyberpunk future people are being prescribed stuff with secret patents, then you can do peptide sequencing and/or MS20:17
@kanzureMS on an antibody?20:17
@kanzuremass spec will tell you what, in this case?20:17
yashgarothexact sequence20:17
@kanzuremaybe i am bad at mass spec20:17
yashgarothantibody gets fragmented into many pieces, some of which are in the detection range of the spectrometer20:18
yashgarothyou build up a bunch of peaks from that and then reconstruct the sequence from it20:18
@kanzure"he protein is digested by an endoprotease, and the resulting solution is passed through a high pressure liquid chromatography column. At the end of this column, the solution is sprayed out of a narrow nozzle charged to a high positive potential into the mass spectrometer. The charge on the droplets causes them to fragment until only single ions remain. The peptides are then fragmented and the mass-to-charge ratios of the fragments measured. ...20:18
@kanzure... (It is possible to detect which peaks correspond to multiply charged fragments, because these will have auxiliary peaks corresponding to other isotopes - the distance between these other peaks is inversely proportional to the charge on the fragment). The mass spectrum is analysed by computer and often compared against a database of previously sequenced proteins in order to determine the sequences of the fragments. This process is then ...20:18
@kanzure... repeated with a different digestion enzyme, and the overlaps in the sequences are used to construct a sequence for the protein."20:19
@kanzureaccording to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_sequencing#Mass_spectrometry20:19
yashgarothyeah, that one20:19
@kanzurewell that's neat.20:19
@kanzuredidn't know that trick.20:19
@kanzurewhich database is used for protein fragment lookup? just rcsb/uniprot?20:20
yashgarothit's mostly if you have no idea what the protein is, since you won't get a full sequence...but you get enough that you can trace it back to the genome and infer the rest of the protein from the coding sequence20:20
yashgarothyou can use blast if you've got a decent number of fragments I assume, not really my specialty20:20
@kanzurehuh? but i thought you don't have the sequence yet, just the mass-to-charge ratios.20:21

yashgarothwell yeah it only really gets you a guess at what residue combinations are in there20:22
@kanzurewell whatever. i get you.20:22
yashgarothrealistically you'd probably do traditional protein sequencing, since the variable region is in the n-terminus of the antibody20:22
yashgaroth(edman degradation)20:22
@kanzureif pharma is worth hundreds of billions (in sales), then why wouldn't black market pharma be worth even more?20:23
yashgaroththose prices are enforced, or at least backed, by the government20:23
yashgarothI'm sure you could get decent money from it though20:23
@kanzurefor a great deal of drugs, that's not particularly useful to patients20:23
@kanzureyeah, i think there's at least a few billion in there somewhere20:24
@kanzurehundred million at least20:24
yashgaroththere's surely some fraction who have some money, but their insurance is too shitty to cover drug X20:24
@kanzureit's weird how there's a market around recreational drugs, but not around the stuff that keeps you alive20:25
@kanzurei mean, some recreational drugs do keep you alive if you're physically dependent, but let's ignore that case..20:25
yashgarothI'm sure many people would prefer brand-name cocaine for more money20:25
@kanzuresure, no more bad hits20:25
@kanzure"lacing? what the hell is that?"20:26
@kanzureanyway, there's no reason you couldn't have an anonymous brand too20:26
yashgarothno more heroin cut with fentanyl, cocaine cut with talcum powder20:26
yashgarothI just read some possibly-true story about a brand of russian cigarettes sold exclusively on the black market20:26
@kanzurecool.20:26
@kanzurethe story was just about its existence?20:27
yashgarothah http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jin_Ling20:27
yashgaroth"Jin Ling cigarettes are only sold illegally and the brand is the first to be designed explicitly for smuggling"20:27
@kanzure"The packet design resembles the American brand Camel in color, typeface and layout,[2] but instead of a camel, it features a mountain goat.[1] Jin Ling cigarettes are only sold illegally and the brand is the first to be designed explicitly for smuggling.[3] It has been reported by customs officials as the "most seized" brand in Europe;[1] in 2007, 258 million Jin Ling cigarettes were seized by authorities in EU countries.[4]"20:28
@kanzurethis looks sort of like they were just copying some other brand's logos or something, and that the manufacturer is known20:28
@kanzurei mean, that the operators are known20:28

crwoh, derp, you said that20:32

crwnote to self: read full buffer :P20:33
@kanzureyashgaroth: well, i was just thinking that if useful medicinal drugs can be bootstrapped on 10k-50k of investment if you know what you're doing, it seems like it would be valuable to manage those operations and just outsource that work20:33
@kanzurelike, there's probably some people out there who wouldn't mind owning the market on black tylenol or w/e20:33
@kanzuretylenol is probably a bad example20:33
@kanzurethat particular market is crazy20:33
yashgarothbad profit margins, but yes20:33
yashgarothanyway the investment is mostly irrelevant to the specific drug, or number of drugs you're making20:34
@kanzureis it?20:34
yashgarothmost of the upfront cost is capital equipment20:34
@kanzurei don't think so. CROs already have that equipment and you can just pay them to do things.20:34
yashgarothtrue but CROs are a ripoff20:35
yashgarothyou have a minimal cost for antibody sequence, and then it's just buying food for the cells and some salt and shit20:35
yashgarothoh well there's also setting up a stable cell line that produces lots of the protein, that's annoying20:36
@kanzurei wonder how much immunosupressants cost20:37
yashgarothlots of them have been around for a while, they're all small-molecule and surely generic20:37
yashgarothpretty sure they're all prescription only but that's to be expected20:38
yashgarothmight be able to get away with either nothing or some anti-inflammatories, depends on what you're trying to sneak past the immune system20:39
