archels"Aging-related diseases are related to a deficiency of the immune system, which results from an aged thymus and bone marrow cells. Intra bone marrow-bone marrow transplantation (IBM-BMT) is a useful method to treat intractable diseases."07:08
archels"[the thymus] atrophies at puberty. Unlike the liver, kidney and heart, for instance, the thymus is at its largest in children. The thymus reaches maximum weight (20 to 37 grams) by the time of puberty. The thymus of older people is scarcely distinguishable from surrounding fatty tissue. As one ages the thymus slowly shrinks, eventually degenerating into tiny islands of fatty tissue. By the age of 75 years, the thymus weighs only 6 grams."07:10

@kanzurehmm i guess it's unlikely for an old person to get bone marrow transplants at the moment07:11
@kanzurebecause usually old people are more easily immune compromised or something07:11
@kanzureor, bone marrow transplants are only considered when there's already an immune-compromising problem i suppose07:12

kanzureit's too bad that storing eggs requires some up-front hormone regiments07:20

delinquentmemarketing via religion bashing and insecurities are pretty effective10:02
fennwow "Currently about 1/3rd of every healthcare dollar in the West is spent on people in the last year of their lives."10:30
fennwhy can't we experiment on old people again? they're just going to die anyway10:32
fennmy great grandma was just waiting to die for a whole decade, she thought she had nothing left to do10:36
fennexcuse me ma'am, can I borrow your body, for science10:36
fennebowden can you get me a couple dozen old nuns10:40
fennthe vatican is pretty pro-science; just need to frame the question correctly10:41
kanzure"donating your body to science after you die is nice and all, but before you die would be cool too, you know"10:48
nmz787_isrsly10:49
nmz787_iI wonder if that's easier in Oregon with their euthanasia laws10:49
fennthe idea is that they don't die10:50
nmz787_iwell I mean that there is already legal precedent for allowing people to make choices that could result in death, like if the experimental treatment fails10:54
fennwhat does that have to do with euthanasia10:57
fennexperimental treatment has been around for a long time, and always carries some risk. but pure research on humans has not been feasible because the benefit is perceived as zero since "there is no disease"10:58
kanzureit is unethical to punch slower than would cause euthanization10:59
fennouch10:59
fennpunch slowly, my friends11:00
kanzure"pull your punches"11:01

fennif you lose "10,000 brain cells a day" that's only 0.3% over the course of 100 years11:12
fennthese numbers were a lot different than i expected: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_animals_by_number_of_neurons#Cerebral_cortex11:18
archelsfenn: that 10k cells thing is an urban myth, anyway11:23
fennyes i know11:23
fennobviously the number is much higher11:23
fennalso we now know that brain cells can regenerate11:25
kanzure"They can't seize a shipment of schematics." well.....11:25
fennthe microfilm, mister bond11:25
archelsmuch higher?11:25
fenn"If the human brain has a weight of 1.4 kg (1400 grams) and there were about 100 billion neurons, then it can be calculated that there are approximately 70 million neurons per gram.11:26
fennNow, when people lose a gram of brain mass per year, meaning that the brain loses 70 million neurons per year, or about 190 thousand damaged, slowing down, or dying brain cells per day."11:26
archelslast time I looked into it there wasn't even a downward trend11:26
fennhuh?11:26
archelslosing a gram of neuropil does not necessarily imply that any neurons or glia are lost at all11:26
fennRESULTS: Both %GM and %WM in the intracranial space were significantly less in older subjects (≥50 years) than in younger subjects (<50 years)11:27
fennCONCLUSION: GM volume loss appears to be a constant, linear function of age throughout adult life, whereas WM volume loss seems to be delayed until middle adult life.11:28
fennarchels: so you're saying the cells themselves shrink?11:29
archelssomething like that, or changes in myelination/consolidation of connectivity11:31

fennin that paper they are saying neurons die and regenerate, and glia increase with age11:37
fennbut total number of neurons remains constant11:37
fennbut young people have larger neurons11:41
fenni wish gf and gc were the standard measures of intelligence, this IQ stuff is confusing11:49
fennwho cares how old you are11:50
fennif you eat a lot of turmeric (curcumin) does this make your brain turn yellow?11:56
fenn"the Indian brains were often stained faint yellow from years of curry eating (remember that curcumin crosses the blood-brain barrier, so this should be expected) but by his inspection these brains had youthful cell densities in the cortex.12:02
fennThe British brains, by contrast, having suffered through many decades of damaging high-fat diets, and without the protection of curcumin, were normal colored but appeared to have about half the cell densities of the Indian brains."12:02
fenn"Another interesting fact about curcumin is that it is also the only known therapy other than caloric restriction that reliably will reliably extend lifespan (about 10-12%) in laboratory mice."  hrm12:03

faceface_http://www.i-programmer.info/news/105-artificial-intelligence/798514:19
faceface_prolly old news14:19
kanzurehello faceface_14:21
faceface_hihi14:21
faceface_so... publication models like wikipedia could only exist on the internet14:25
faceface_they are 'web-native'14:25
faceface_what types of financial 'product' can only exist on blockchain type technologies?14:25
faceface_what are the native 'bottom up' type financial technologies going to be?14:26
kanzureany financial scheme can be emulated without a blockchain14:26
faceface_sure14:26
fenntrustless smart contracts14:27
faceface_but blockchain facilitates, like wp does14:27
faceface_fenn: but how will that scale to thousands of people?14:27
kanzurei don't think "trustless smart contracts" need a blockchain or anti-replay attack prevention14:27
faceface_ok, I was going to say 'bitcoin' but tried to step back by saying 'block chain'14:27
faceface_actually I don't care14:27
fennkanzure: something has to validate the contract14:28
faceface_what I mean is, if we can each act somewhat like a bank, what can emerge?14:28
kanzureanyone should be capable of verifying a "trustless smart contract"14:28
fennbut you have to know what the inputs are14:28
kanzureso you get told the inputs14:29
fennbut how can you believe that what you're being told is true14:29
kanzurecryptography14:29
fennno, that just keeps other people from listening in14:29
kanzurekeeps people from forging your signature14:30
kanzure*makes it extremely difficult to forge your signature14:30
fennnow you've only verified that "bob sent this message" but you don't know if what bob is telling you is true or not14:30
faceface_regardless... what could we do with 1G multi-sig?14:30
faceface_500k of 1G?14:30
kanzureunfortunately you will have trouble with people registering multiple times14:31
faceface_ah14:31
fennseems like nothing would ever get done if 1 billion signatures are required14:31
faceface_is that a problem if registration costs 1k?14:31
kanzurenow only the rich can register lots of times14:32
faceface_fenn: unless it was to pay out 100 trillion14:32
fennhuh14:32
faceface_kanzure: only the rich can use complex financial 'products'14:32
kanzurehuh?14:32
* faceface_ has no clue where this is going either14:32
faceface_I'm just curious about the idea of highly distributed finance14:33
fennso we have a big lottery gambling on whether everyone on the entire planet can cooperate at the same time?14:33
faceface_fenn: isn't that pretty much the system we have?14:33
fennno14:33
faceface_how did you chose your parents?14:33
fennif i refuse to cooperate, guys with guns come and take me away14:33
fennyou aren't making any sense14:34
faceface_Somehow 'crowd funding' seems to be cludging an old model into a new system14:34
faceface_fenn: I never made any such promise... (sorry)14:34
faceface_sorry if this is a totally absurd line of thinking14:35
kanzurefaceface_: http://diyhpl.us/~bryan/papers2/bitcoin/fanaticism/if-i-was-chairman-of-the-fed.yaml14:35
faceface_but basically it comes down to something like 'traditional books are to wikipedia as traditional financial instruments are to ...'14:35
kanzurewikipedia did not invent digital content14:36
kanzurei know you're looking for big ideas but i don't think they happen this way14:38
-!- snuffeluffegus [~snuff@5.150.254.180] has quit [Quit: Leaving]14:38
faceface_kanzure: of course wp is just one example that happens to be big in it's own way14:39
faceface_but it's sucess is dependent on it's medium14:39
faceface_traditional publishing works in that medium too, it's just not taking full advantage of what can be done14:40
fenntraditional publishing does not allow everyone and their grandma to edit the article14:40
faceface_indeed14:40
kanzurewikipedia doesn't either14:41
faceface_I heard recently blogs being described as another 'internet native' form of publishing14:41
fenntraditional publishing only allows ~2 people to edit the article14:41
faceface_something that just doesn't work outside of the web14:41
kanzurefenn, that sounds like a version control issue, not a publishing issue14:42
faceface_wp and wikis generally are something new to the internet, and they seem to work ther14:42
fennthere were zines before blogs, but they took more effort to prepare and distribute14:42
fennkanzure: no it's intentional, to preserve the author's voice and the editor's discretion, or something14:43
kanzurehaha14:43
faceface_right, the web has allowed blogs, wikis and distributed development via version contorl to flourish14:43
fennkanzure: that's the point of CC-BY-ND14:43
kanzuregit does not require the web to work14:43
fennsorta14:44
faceface_so, given these technologies can broady be described as 'web native', something uniquely successfull on the web, what's next for finance given bitcoin like technologies?14:44
fennexporting patches is a laborious process14:44
faceface_and beside the point ;-)14:44
jrayhawklinux development doesn't use the web at all14:45
kanzurefaceface_: http://nakamotoinstitute.org/mempool/speculative-attack/14:45
jrayhawkit's all git, git+ssh, and smtp14:45
jrayhawkwell, no, i guess that's not true. some people actually try to use bugzilla.14:46
fennhe means "networking technologies"14:46
kanzurewell he's confused14:46
fennnot http or whatever you're implying14:46
kanzurepeople make a big deal out of wikipedia being digital native or something, but really it's just some different policies or something14:46
kanzurefaceface_: there's a lot of room for bitcoin to grow into the existing financial ecosystem14:47
faceface_kanzure: right14:48
faceface_yeah, when I say web I'm confused.14:49
kanzurethings like teleporting money around the world instantly14:49
faceface_sure14:49
faceface_but that doesn't interest me as much14:49
kanzureauditing is going to be turned around eventually14:49
fennsomething about bankless people in africa14:49
faceface_kanzure: you can reduce wp to policy, but the fact is that that policy is a good fit with the www14:49
kanzurefrom a "he-said-she-said" ordeal to a ledger-based proof system of some kind14:50
fennor areas where the government is non-existent14:50
kanzurei think wikipedia could work just fine without www14:50
fennhow would you contribute14:50
kanzurelocal editing14:50
faceface_I'm curious about new types of economic instrument supported by 'bitcoin-like' things14:50
fennhow do other people see your contributions14:50
jrayhawkvarious text files used to be mutated in free-form as they were passed around BBSes14:51
kanzureyou send them to those people14:51
fennwho do you send them to?14:51
kanzurehow is this a hard problem?14:51
kanzureare you guys crazy14:51
fennit never happened, there must be a reason14:51
faceface_kanzure: what's your point?14:51
kanzurefenn: nobody wanted to, version control sucked, etc.14:51
faceface_wp is one of the top 10 sites in the world, and it's had tremendous growth14:51
fennbut the promise of vast knowledge must have been apparent to some14:52
kanzurefaceface_: so you don't like the audit stuff? hmm14:52

nmz787_i"Secondly, note that stacking interactions involving G/C base pairs are stronger (more negative) than those involving A/T base pairs. This is why the melting temperature of DNA depends on the base composition. It's not because G/C base pairs have one more hydrogen bond than A/T base pairs, it's because G/C base pairs form stronger stacking interactions."15:57

kanzurewhat......17:00
fennin 2009 "the cost of a human genome is about $1k, and the price is $10k and falling"17:01

superkuhDang. Electrolysis of aluminum wire will not work for my purposes. Barrier films of the oxide only get so thick before they start forming regular grids of pores.22:17
superkuhMax thickness of about a micrometer and ~700v standoff.22:18
superkuhThe pore stuff was neat to read about though. Accidental nano-structure.22:19
fennthe pore is sealed in the anodizing process with hot water (or some chemical solution?)22:26
fennhttp://aluminumsurface.blogspot.com/2009/04/why-sealing-process-is-so-important.html22:27
superkuhI don't care about chemical resistance though. Only dielectric strength. I've read that as long as the solution is neutral (not acidic), current is kept low, and voltage high (>100 V), pores should not form until after ~1 micrometer. But that is not enough. So back to the alumina epoxies, I guess.22:29
fennthe sealing process fills the pores with alumina; how is adding aggregated alumina flakes suspended in epoxy any better?22:31
superkuhNot better, really. But if that route has to be taken why do both processes?  It's more work.22:31
fennsorry, i guess it's actually aluminum hydroxide22:32
