kanzurean 8th grader emailed me some "biohacking interview questions",07:55
kanzure"4. What projects have actually affected society ?"07:55
kanzure"5. How has biohacking helped the public world ?"07:55
fennthose questions were probably required as part of the school assignment, don't give the kid so much credit07:55
kanzureright07:56
kanzure"Your school sucks kid, I am sorry."07:56
fenn"nothing matters, we're all going to be forgotten in the heat death of the universe. moral relativism ftl"07:57
kanzure"1. What are the effective tools that biohackers use to hack?" i told him about synthesizers, sequencers and polymerase chain reaction (read, write, copy)07:58
fenntoday's class assignment is to find something that has helped the world. justfiy your choice in three double spaced pages.07:58
fennhow about computers and open source software07:58
kanzure"2. How was biohacking started ?" i babbled about null hypotheses and leeuwenhoek, and then 1960s dna synthesis and 1960s calcium chloride transformation, and 1980s polymerase chain reaction.07:59
kanzureokay i have added open source software08:00
kanzure"3. What is the main goal for all biohackers in general ?" i babbled about read, write, copy dna.08:03
poppingtonicyou could add openpcr for open source projects08:04
kanzurei would never dream of inflicting adobe air on a 14 year old08:04
kanzurewhat's wrong with you08:04
poppingtonicheh... i missed that one :/08:06

poppingtonicI said essentially the same thing to a dude yesterday, about transhumanism.08:11

poppingtonicmmm fish liver08:23
fennnot sure why they decided to use an electroretinogram instead of just pressing a button when a NIR light was on08:23
fennanyway humans _can_ see NIR, but it gets washed out by other colors. if you use a congo blue filter goggles your eyes will adjust and see the red-end of the NIR spectrum08:24

delinquentmethat you can start to build that confidence back up11:48
delinquentmetoo much interviewing with bullshit startups11:48
kanzureunfortunately interviewing is mandatory in order to see actual market rates11:50
kanzurealthough i have become good at very short interviews11:50

kanzurewell it was over the phone11:53
delinquentmekanzure, I'm at the point where im almost ready to correct the interviewer11:54
kanzureinterviews are not a thing i would subject my worse enemies to11:54
kanzureor even my mom11:54
delinquentmemy issue is i run up against CS people who have a specific lexicon for operations and while I might understand implementation ... I don't have the semantics11:54
kanzurethey are just pathetic and awful11:54
kanzureyeah, no, those are not people you want to be working with11:54
kanzurethink of it this way,11:54
delinquentmemarkov chain ... or state machine !?11:54

delinquentmerunning KW searches on HN job posts ... any suggestions which I should add ?11:57
kanzureyou should just read the posts instead11:58
kanzurethen filter out users you hate11:58
delinquentmethere could be endless additional kws ... but11:58
kanzuresince most users post multiple times each month11:58
kanzureyou can quickly get down to a readable level11:58
kanzurefilter out balanced, for example, that'll cut out a lot of the posts11:58
delinquentmethis is less related to interviewing ... and more an interest of " whats the consensus HN startup stack ? "11:58
kanzureyour method is bad because it requires people to use good tags and words, which they don't11:58

yoleaux[1411.3140] Social media fingerprints of unemployment13:27
kanzure"Recent wide-spread adoption of electronic and pervasive technologies has enabled the study of human behavior at an unprecedented level, uncovering universal patterns underlying human activity, mobility, and inter-personal communication. In the present work, we investigate whether deviations from these universal patterns may reveal information about the socio-economical status of geographical regions. We quantify the extent to which ...13:27
kanzure... deviations in diurnal rhythm, mobility patterns, and communication styles across regions relate to their unemployment incidence. For this we examine a country-scale publicly articulated social media dataset, where we quantify individual behavioral features from over 145 million geo-located messages distributed among more than 340 different Spanish economic regions, inferred by computing communities of cohesive mobility fluxes. We ...13:27
kanzure... find that regions exhibiting more diverse mobility fluxes, earlier diurnal rhythms, and more correct grammatical styles display lower unemployment rates. As a result, we provide a simple model able to produce accurate, easily interpretable reconstruction of regional unemployment incidence from their social-media digital fingerprints alone. Our results show that cost-effective economical indicators can be built based on ...13:27

fennmost of your bookmarks are bitcoin stuff anyway13:53
fennthat's the main issue with tagging/bookmarking systems, you have all this stuff lying around already but it's inaccessible because you have to manually enter it into the system to be searchable13:54
kanzureonly 1006 are tagged bitcoin13:54
fenni know a guy who has been using the same tagging system for ~30 years and always has a DOS emulator open so he can keep running it13:55

kragen00:22 < kanzure> oh, no, in general people are highly aware of extremely productive people working at below market rates17:25
kragenI'm not sure I qualify as "extremely productive people".  I'm really struggling with getting this stock trading system into working shape17:25
kragenand it's only like ten thousand lines of Java17:25
kanzuredid you write it?17:26
kragenwhich would be a better excuse for having a hard time getting it working if I hadn't written all of it17:26
kanzurewell, what did you fail to anticipate ?17:27
kragenI think I probably wrote it in an insufficiently stupid way17:28
kragenwhich means that debugging it is stretching my capacity17:28
fenni think i see the problem17:28
kanzurewhat sorta orderbook is it?17:28
kragenalso I didn't know anything about stock trading17:28
kanzureoh that's probably bad17:28
kragenmy client has lots of experience with it, and we've been working closely17:29
kragenso I've been learning about stock trading17:29
kanzureare these options, contracts, "regular" trades?17:29
kragenregular shares, although we'll probably be doing futures too17:29
kragenbut mostly the stupid bugs have been internal complexity of the system17:30
kanzuredisclaimer: i am presently procrastinating here instead of working on an orderbook application i've been helping to develop17:30
kragenthat's comforting to hear17:30
kragenit makes me feel less alone in my incompetence and lack of discipline17:30

kragenmine will too, soon.  it's just taking a lot longer than I was hoping it would17:31
fennkragen why on god's good green earth are you using Java?17:31
kragenwell, I wanted to be able to use the broker's protocol interface library instead of trying to reverse-engineer their undocumented wire protocol17:32
kanzurewhat is their protocol?17:33
kanzureoh their library for their undocumented protocol?17:33
kragensome thing they cooked up themselves17:33
kragenright17:33
kragenthey have options in C++, Excel, Visual Basic, and Java, of which Java seemed the least bad17:33
kanzurezeromq over here :)17:33
kragenC++ has its great merits but that's until you are debugging17:33
kragenthe sane thing to do in retrospect would have been to write a small Java shim that translated to and from zeromq or something similar17:34
kragenbut also17:34

kanzureso why are you making a trading engine that has to use some broker's library?17:34
kragenwe were spending more time waiting for the simulation runs to finish than we were spending modifying the code17:34
kanzurebrokers should be using your library17:34
kanzurenot the other way around17:34
kragenthat would be true if we had more money than the brokers, but we don't17:35
kanzurewas your python implementation using cython/swig/ctypes?17:35
kragenno, although cython probably would have been a smarter direction to move for speedups than Java17:35
kanzureyeah....17:36
kanzureyou can't even use jython17:36
kanzureunless you're okay with ancient python 2.7 compatibility hell17:36
fennjava can be plenty fast, but you still have to actually write the code17:36
kanzureit's not even 2.7.x it's just 2.7 haha17:36
kanzurefenn: i need more constraints on ai projects, please enter rant mode17:38
kanzuremost of the things on that page aren't even the usual rant-worthy stuff17:38
kragenanyway, so I think the next step is probably to get the current Java mess running correctly and trading in real life, and then maybe replace it piecewise with Jython17:38
fennsorry my brain is soon to be pumpkin pudding17:39
kanzureunfortunately jython is going to be a dead end for you unless you want to be maintaining jython upstream17:39
kragenthey said that before17:40
kanzureand?17:40
kragensomeone decided to maintain it for a while, and it wasn't me17:41
kanzureis that still happening?17:41
kragenI'm sure it will happen again, even if it isn't happening at the moment17:42
kragenneither Java nor Python is small enough for people to stop caring about connecting them together17:42

kanzureoh wait, wrong page17:57
kanzure"physical" "social" "learning" "communication" why are these separate17:57
fennit should be noted that chomsky has abandoned the idea of LAD in favor of Universal Grammar17:57
kanzurethat sounds even worse17:58
fennit's probably "not even wrong"17:59
kanzure"proposing that the ability to learn grammar is hard-wired into the brain.[1]" yes because apparently everyone else thought it was the stomach17:59
kanzurethis makes me mad :(17:59
fennyou're missing the point18:00
kanzure"There are theoretical senses of the term Universal Grammar as well (here capitalized). The most general of these would be that Universal Grammar is whatever properties of a normally developing human brain cause it to learn languages that conform to universal grammar (the non-capitalized, pretheoretical sense). Using the above examples, Universal Grammar would be the innate property of the human brain that causes it to posit a difference ...18:00
kanzure... between nouns and verbs whenever presented with linguistic data."18:00
kanzureinnate...18:00
kanzurepretheoretical...18:00
kanzurei am not sure which specific thing to point out in a rant, though18:02
fennso you're blaming linguists for the failed dreams of symbolic AI?18:02
kanzurehmm, that's an interesting idea18:02
kanzurei am not opposed to blaming them in part for symbolic ai18:03
kanzurei will certainly blame them for distracting people who would be working on ai-stuff18:03
fennit would be just as easy to blame neuroscience for not pointing out how much important stuff the symbolic people were skipping18:03

nmz787ah, http://www.implicitcad.org/faq#implicitcad-and-openscad20:01
nmz787kragen: yeah but matter can be defined in layers like a PCB if you wanted to20:01

nmz787i am designing microfluidics20:02
nmz787it is very similar to PCBs20:02
kanzuresvg20:02
kanzurewe keep telling you to use svg but you don't :(20:02
nmz787except that you can have smoother transitions between 'layers'20:02
nmz787rather than jus vertical vias like kicad has now20:03

nmz787kanzure: do you know about DSN something something design spectra...20:08

nmz787it is what you export in kicad to talk with freerouting20:08
kanzurefenn or nmz787 is more likely to know this20:08
nmz787and freerouting then exports it back out, and you import in kicad20:08
delinquentmeOh also ! Is it possible to patent something which uses someone elses first in class mechanism ... IN the case which i expand the functionality ?20:10
nmz787i think you would have to get licensing20:11

nmz787kanzure: fenn: does svg allow for layers?20:25
kanzuredepends on what you consider a layer20:25
nmz787well if we had two fluidic components, and we wanted to use them together, what do we do?20:29
nmz787and there might be some above another20:30
kanzureabove means what... 3d?20:32
kanzuretwo microfluidic components on a 2d plane can be merged into the same svg file by copying the part and pasting it at whatever grid coordinates you want20:33
kanzure(obviously this copy/paste will be happening in software and would not be manual)20:33
-!- Boscop [~me@unaffiliated/boscop] has joined ##hplusroadmap20:36
nmz787yes in 3d, in that case, you would want to design things so they lined up, but in manufacture they could either be thin-film (lithography) layers with some greyscaling (which would define the etch depth), or in the case of deposition you would want to slice however thick the device could handle20:39
nmz787s/thin-film/etch/20:39
kanzurewell, exposure time can be an attribute of different regions or something20:40
nmz787so you might want to design in 3D, but export greyscale layers20:40
nmz787for a top-down view you can merging layers or turn them on/off like in photoshop/gimp20:41
