kanzurejustanotheruser: you might have missed my messages, check the backlog: http://gnusha.org/logs/2013-09-10.log00:01
justanotheruserseems like a mix of science/nanosystems and futurism/engines of creation00:05
justanotheruserreferring to http://diyhpl.us/~bryan/papers2/nanotech/00:05
justanotheruserbut a good list of links, very interesting00:05
justanotheruserWhat are the prerequisites for reading these? I couldn't appreciate nanosystems until I took college physics00:06

kanzuresup11:26
kanzurealso: don't ask to ask11:27
kanzurealso: if you have failure here then try #biology or ##bioinformatics11:27

anannieWell the thing is that I'm having an argument with not so erudite scholars that we don't actually understand genetics as well as we like to think we do. We do not understand how networks of genes work to arise complex traits, what the "junk DNA" bits are, we don't know why spicing works as well as it does and saying that we will create a completely artificial life from *scratch* is just fool...11:29
anannie...hardy at this point there's a lot of work to be done11:29
anannieAm I right or wrong?11:30
kanzurespicing?11:30
anannie* splicing11:30
ananniesorry the L key is sorta broken11:30
kanzure"artificial life from scratch" depends on what you mean by "from scratch"11:31
kanzuredo you think "copying a dna molecule with a dna polymerase enzyme, except using man-made nucleotides that don't match nucleotides in nature, that still happens to be usable to build other enzmyes" counts as "from scratch" ?11:31
ananniethink individual base pairs from scratch and evolving a completely new form of life11:31
ananniethat's crazy11:31
kanzuredna doesn't create life. in particular there's no way to bootstrap a cell membrane from a dna molecule.11:31
anannieyes11:32
kanzurebut why do you care, again?11:32
kanzureis he trying to argue that gibson asembly is fake, or what?11:32
anannieI do because I got into this idiotic argument and I like being right11:32
anannieI don't think he knows about the gibson assembly11:34
ananniehe just thinks that we're 30 to 40 years from Strong AI and what not11:34
anannieI know science seems strong and awesome from the outside, but there's a lot of real work to be done11:35
sbaughScience seems weak and inefficient even from the outside, could be doing a lot better11:36
ananniesbaugh: the layman reads these news saying that we'll be assembling bacteria soon or whatever and they believe it's going to happen the next day11:38
anannieit's never that easy11:38
kanzurewhat does "assembling bacteria" mean?11:40
anannieI have no clue11:40
kanzureokay. it's better to use specific terminology so that we can talk about real things.11:40
ananniehe spouted that and I tried very hard not to laugh11:40
sbaughYes okay, I was talking about hobbyist or dilettante looking at academia11:40
kanzureso, personally, i think craig has been doing a disservice by calling it "artificial life" just because of chromosome-length dna assembly11:40
kanzuremost people would associate artificial life with something that doesn't involve culturing pre-existing organisms11:41
kanzurebut whatever, it's his PR nightmare11:41

FourFire" anannie: he just thinks that we're 30 to 40 years from Strong AI and what not" tell your friend that Super Intelligent AI is mostly likely not for a good fifty years or so11:48
FourFireAs for "new lifeforms from scratch" ... yeah that really depends on how you define it11:48
anannieFourFire: I told him that we don't know the algorithms to do strong AI neither do we know if current hardware is capable of non-linear decision making11:49
FourFirewe have technically had useable artifical organisms since the 70s11:49
-!- FourFire1 [~FourFire@45-3-212.connect.netcom.no] has joined ##hplusroadmap11:51
FourFire1yeah, the hardware doesn't really matter as much, as does the algorithms do11:52
FourFire1if we could have the algorithms today for strong AI we could probably run it on today's hardware and get an out of control AI11:52
anannieyup11:52
FourFire1the AI problem requires two things: brute force like hard work11:53
FourFire1and magical insight and inspiration11:53
FourFire1you can graph the first, but not the second11:53
kanzurecan you two go to lesswrong to talk about that, they eat that crap up11:54
-!- FourFire [~FourFire@156-30-212.connect.netcom.no] has quit [Ping timeout: 260 seconds]11:54
kanzurei mean #lesswrong specifically11:54
FourFire1yeah anannie come to #LessWrong if you'd like to discuss AI11:54
kanzureyour arguments about strong ai are weak and uninformed11:54
kanzureso get the hell out :)11:55
-!- FourFire1 is now known as FourFire11:55
ananniekanzure: I'm not arguing anything. Just that if we knew the algorithms and had that magic we could probably do it right now and it's non-trivial and we don't even know how to get there11:55
kanzurethat doesn't matter if your concern is "out of control"11:56
kanzurebecause we already have a lifeform that is reasonably intelligent (humans) that are currently out of control (you do not control them, thus it's "out of control")11:56
anannieI don't care about that. The chances of that happening are equivalent to the chances of me building a 747 in my backyard accidentally11:56
kanzurewhat is accidental about it11:56
anannieMost scenarios involve that11:57
ananniethat we somehow stumble across something11:57
anannieand we do that11:57
kanzuresigh11:57
kanzurebasically you're saying that because humans exist and are smart, you should murder all of them because they're out of control11:57
kanzurei don't entirely buy that argument11:57
anannieI don't either11:57
kanzureit has nothing to do with building a 74711:57
kanzurepeople make humans all the time11:57
anannieI'm not talking about anything like that all I care about is building one someday11:58
anannieYou're comparing me to the lesswrong crowd that just talks all day long and doesn't do anything practical beyond writing dissertations11:58
kanzuremy point is that you're wrong about "the algorithms" being the only requirement for an "out of control" situation11:58
gradstudentbotNone of my experiments are working.11:58
kanzureno i am not comparing you to lesswrong, what the fuck11:58
kanzurei didn't even say that11:59
anannieAh okay11:59
ananniesorry11:59
kanzure11:52 < FourFire1> if we could have the algorithms today for strong AI we could probably run it on today's hardware and get an out of control AI11:59
kanzureyou already have people that exist that are "out of control"11:59
gradstudentbotDo I have to go through the IRB for that?11:59
kanzureyes11:59
ananniewhat are you trying to say... I'm pretty sure we agree on something, but I don't know what that thing is :)12:01
gradstudentbotSo, I'll let you have my reagents when I'm done with my project.12:01
kanzurei don't know what you want from me right now12:03
* anannie doesn't either12:04
anannieThis is weird12:04
ananniesorry if I wasted your time12:04
FourFirekanzure the human race is limited by our biology in our ability to conprehend and process information, if you had the action potential (not neurons) of a human being thinking at the speed of a computer... it's More out of control12:05
FourFireand if you have a super fast thinking human mind which can control robots and roam the internet...12:05
kanzureyou don't need big computers to do terrible things12:06
kanzurebig computers certainly help though12:06
FourFireyeah, so terrible things happen faster... which is bad12:07
kanzurein terms of your behavior, you shouldn't behave differently if you believe that a human will blow up the earth or an ai-- your solution will generally be the same (don't be on earth) (or kill all humans/machines) (one of these is easier)12:07
FourFiredon't be on earth might be risky in the long term12:08
kanzurewhatever, it was an example12:08
FourFirealso have you seen http://everything2.com/title/How+to+destroy+the+Earth ?12:09
kanzuremy favorite methods involve the moon12:10
FourFirehaha12:14
ParahSai1ini just wont let the ai out of the box12:14
ParahSai1ineasy solution12:14
FourFireParahSai1lin yes... about that12:17
FourFireI'm currently personally aware of 13 AI-Box experiments and of those, four resulted in the AI being let out12:18
ParahSai1ini beat yudkowsky in aibox once12:19
FourFiregood for you! what were the stakes?12:19
ParahSai1inearth12:20
FourFirepretty high stakes I'd say12:20

justanotheruserHello20:33
kanzurehi20:34
justanotheruserkanzure: what news source would you reccomend for transhumanism and nanotech related topics20:34
kanzurethe best way to predict the future is to invent it20:35
kanzureeverything else is ignorable20:35
kanzurei was highly involved in hplusmagazine for a while and i regret every second of it20:35
kanzurealthough if you absolutely must have a news source then i recommend transhumantech on postbiota.org20:35
justanotheruserWell did you dislike the magazine because they speculated?20:36
kanzurethere are lots of reasons to dislike the magazine20:37
kanzurei'd rather not spread the dirt20:37
justanotheruserAlso it looks like postbiota removed thier homepage20:37
justanotheruserI see20:37
kanzurehomepages were never cool anyway20:37
kanzurehttp://google.com/search?q=transhumantech+postbiota.org20:37
justanotheruserlol20:37
kanzurehttp://postbiota.org/mailman/listinfo/tt20:38
justanotheruserThanks20:38
kanzurehttp://postbiota.org/pipermail/tt/20:38
kanzurein general, futurism news is terrible and should be avoided at all costs20:38
kanzureif you want biology stuff on the ground, try https://groups.google.com/group/diybio20:38
gradstudentbotLet's pour a bunch of chemlights into a spinner flask and claim it's luminescent e.coli.20:38
justanotheruserWell is it futurism news? I want news about scientific discoveries and creations20:39
* brownies pokes gradstudentbot 20:39
gradstudentbotDon't you have anything better to be doing?20:39
kanzurescientific discovery news is all spun from university PR departments20:40
kanzureif you read the papers after a while you notice a trend that they just lie to you in the news20:40
justanotheruserYeah I was hoping there was an outlier somewhere though.20:41
kanzurehm, sorry. maybe try #reddit or something. they like news.20:41
kanzurebtw did you want me to dig up that mediawiki stuff? i forget if you were just asking, or needed it from me.20:42
justanotheruserYou want me to go to reddit for news that isn't "spun"?20:42
justanotheruser/r/science finds a cure for cancer weekly20:43
gene_hackerread the damn journal papers not the press release20:43
kanzurethe context is that i hate reddit20:43
kanzureand i hate news20:43
kanzureso i was telling you to go to reddit to get the two things i hate20:43
kanzuresorry if that wasn't clear20:43
justanotheruseroh, makes sense loll20:43
kanzureoh cool hi gene_hacker20:43
gene_hackerhey20:43
kanzuresup20:43
gene_hackerdidn't you say you did stuff with nanorex at some point?20:44
kanzurei have been doing some python things against nanorex/nanoengineer for the past few years yes20:44
kanzurehttps://github.com/kanzure/nanoengineer20:44
kanzurebtw i've been working on some python bindings to brlcad. i was going to tell matt when they were ready but since you're here... they work.20:44
kanzureand brlcad has nurbs support now20:45
gene_hackeris brlcad fast?20:45
kanzureit is very fast20:46
gene_hackergpu fast?20:46
kanzureyes it also has custom gpu raytracers iirc20:46
kanzure(they like raytracers a lot, so they care about performance)20:46
gene_hackerfor the the geometric operations20:46
kanzuretheir geometric operations by default are implicit operations20:47
kanzurei am going to be doing some python performance tests soon, i want to see how much overhead python adds20:47
kanzureso i will be doing things like a million intersections and see how long it takes etc20:48
gene_hackerand it has all the nice CAD kernel stuff right?20:48
kanzureyes20:48
kanzureit's written in a very clean and understandable way20:48
gene_hackerand it doesn't suck like opencascade does?20:49
gene_hackerguess I'll have to try it out20:49
kanzureit "sucks" in a few ways, like their UI is tcl/tk20:49
kanzurebut you don't have to use the GUI20:49
gene_hackerwho cares, you've got a CAD kernel, make your own GUI20:49
kanzurei like your attitude20:50
gene_hackernow you wouldn't happen to know Toth-Fejel would you?20:51
gene_hackerheard he's on the nanorex project20:51
kanzurechecking20:51
kanzureTihamer Toth-Fejel: [society of manufacturing engineers, foresight institute, nanomanufacturing, nanotech]20:51
gene_hackeryeah that's him20:52
kanzurehttp://www.niac.usra.edu/files/studies/final_report/883Toth-Fejel.pdf20:52
kanzurehttp://web.archive.org/web/20060328094811/http://www.nanoengineer-1.com/mambo/images/stories/portraits/toth-fejel.jpg20:52
gene_hackeryup20:52
kanzurestalking level: master20:52
gene_hackerand what sort of work are you doing for nanorex?20:52
kanzurenanorex died in 2009 when mark stopped dumping in money20:53
kanzurei picked up nanoengineer on my own because i didn't want it to die and vanish20:53
gene_hackeroh that's too bad20:53
kanzureso everything on https://github.com/kanzure/nanoengineer is volunteer resuscitation20:53
kanzurehttps://groups.google.com/group/nanoengineer-dev20:53
gradstudentbotIf you help me, I'll put you on the paper.20:54
heathhttp://i.imgur.com/J5vNDfU.png20:54
justanotheruserlol gradstudentbot20:54
gradstudentbotWasn't there a paper about that?20:54
kanzuregene_hacker: here's an example of using the C API for brlcad... https://github.com/kanzure/brlcad/blob/master/src/proc-db/wdb_example.c20:54
gene_hackerit'd really help if someone would go out and verify diamonoid mechanosynthesis once and for all20:54
heathgene_hacker, omg, gene_hacker20:56
gene_hackeryeah it's me20:56
heathwhat have you bene up to, sir?20:58
gradstudentbotOh, that's problematic.20:58
gene_hackerresearch mainly20:59
heathwhat are you studying?20:59
gene_hackerMechanical engineering21:00
gene_hackerso more or less everything21:00
heathhm. that's all i've got for now, i needed to check a few things on the internets before calling it a night21:00
heathi'll pester you with questions later21:00
* heath waves gn21:00
gene_hackeralso looking for people who are doing self-replicating system research21:01
kanzuregradstudentbot: what are you studying?21:01
gradstudentbotI think I'd like to try to write the paper myself.21:01
justanotherusergradstudentbot help21:02
gradstudentbotWow, I'm definitely not including this data in the paper.21:02
justanotheruserSo does he only say random phrases when he's highlighted?21:02
klafkaugh21:02
kanzuremore or less... yes.21:03
kanzurebut he also pipes up on his own21:03
gene_hackerthat's funny21:03
kanzuregradstudentbot: how's the paper going?21:03
gradstudentbotWasn't there a paper about that?21:03
gene_hackergradstudentbot can I be coauthor?21:06
gradstudentbotHow many papers do you have published?21:06
kanzuregradstudentbot: i've coauthored many papers21:07
gradstudentbotThe paper got rejected.21:07
gene_hackergradstudent bot I have published 2,147,483,648 papers21:07
gene_hackergradstudentbot I have published 2,147,483,648 papers21:07
gradstudentbotRight, I just finished coauthoring a related manuscript.21:07
kanzurehe's a fairly accurate emulation of a graduate student21:07
sbaugh"fairly"?21:08
sbaughhe'd pass the graduate-student-Turing-test21:08
justanotherusergradstudentbot: what do you know about robotic arms21:10
gradstudentbotSomeone stole my pipette.21:10
kanzurehah21:10
kanzureit's funny because robotic arms often hold pipettes21:10
sbaughor perhaps.. steal pipettes? dun dun dun21:11
justanotheruserI feel like cleverbot could pass the 12-year-old turing test21:12
kanzureklafka: sup ?21:13
klafkabuilding a fraud algorithm21:13
kanzurewas there one present before?21:14
gene_hackerthat's one approach to passing the turing test actually:21:14
gene_hackerhttp://www.popsci.com/technology/article/2012-06/chatbot-posing-13-year-old-wins-largest-ever-turing-test21:14
klafkano21:14
kanzureklafka: hahaha21:14
klafkai mean21:14
kanzureklafka: oh man21:14
klafkayes21:14
klafkaa very robust one21:14
kanzurei see i see21:14
klafkadon't try and defraud us21:14
kanzureof course there was21:14
kanzureklafka: good luck, though21:15
klafkai have some things that work21:16
