| fenn | hum i wonder why freenode dropped blowfish encryption for for sasl authentication | 08:53 |
| kanzure | someone should try brain imaging plus typing prediction, so that stimulation studies can try to induce specific typing | 08:55 |
| kanzure | you could even have a per-user calibraiton phase where you look at how they type words from a <2k word corpus | 08:55 |
| eudoxia | kanzure are chording keyboards not fast enough for you :> | 08:55 |
| kanzure | and then blast ultrasound to make similar patterns of activation | 08:55 |
| kanzure | no this is an alternative to microelectrode-based methods of dumping bits into brains | 08:55 |
| fenn | typing eh | 08:55 |
| kanzure | the prblem is that if you wanted to insert data into a human brain you don't know what to stimulate really | 08:56 |
| fenn | you know most people aren't hooked into the matrix like you are | 08:56 |
| kanzure | i think many people are able to type | 08:56 |
| fenn | they have to poke at the keys one by one | 08:56 |
| kanzure | so those subjects would be skipped for any of these hypothetical experiments -_- | 08:56 |
| kanzure | shouldn't that be obvious? | 08:56 |
| kanzure | i probably shouldn't expect motor-related stimulaton to propagate information backwards into the other parts of the brain | 08:58 |
| fenn | what happens when you've trained your machine learning algorithm on people who learned to type a certain way and then in the real world it encounters 90% of the people doing it "wrong" | 08:58 |
| fenn | my real point though was that typing is occupying a tiny specialized part of the brain that has little to do with interesting stuff | 08:58 |
| kanzure | motor planning? | 08:58 |
| fenn | right | 08:59 |
| fenn | it's actually big because you have to move stuff | 08:59 |
| fenn | but still i think it's not valuable to be able to force people to type stuff | 08:59 |
| kanzure | i wasn't talking about forcing people to type | 08:59 |
| fenn | i know that's not what you intended but it would be the effect of the experiment you described | 09:00 |
| kanzure | i was thinking that somatosensory stimulation doesn't seem likely to work (for reasons i can't clearly describe) | 09:00 |
| kanzure | not all motor-related neural matter in human brain is motor-execution stuff | 09:00 |
| fenn | it's not? | 09:01 |
| kanzure | you can do motor planning without motor execution | 09:01 |
| fenn | O RLY | 09:01 |
| fenn | what was the name of that EMG collar that picked up subvocalizations from your larynx nerves | 09:03 |
| kanzure | southernstarpaw | 09:03 |
| eudoxia | is that a joke on the northpaw | 09:04 |
| fenn | anyway the fact that subthreshold EMG even exists would mean that "practicing" movements is really just executing the movement at below threshold output levels | 09:05 |
| fenn | have i fallen through a time portal into a different universe again? why do i have to explain this to you | 09:06 |
| kanzure | "practicing" is not planning | 09:06 |

| kanzure | *fart* | 09:13 |
| fenn | wtf they have 550 brain region pages | 09:13 |
| kanzure | heh | 09:13 |
| kanzure | he has some pile of code but it is just basic things like "multi-threaded execution of a pool of neurons" and "generic classes to represent links between pools of neurons" or something | 09:15 |
| fenn | that sounds pretty good to me | 09:19 |
| fenn | the insane over-specification of brain areas and nerve placements seems misguided | 09:20 |
| fenn | as if we could ever figure it all out without actually scanning a brain and tracing all the connections | 09:20 |
| -!- Merovoth [~Merovoth@gateway/tor-sasl/merovoth] has joined ##hplusroadmap | 09:20 | |
| kanzure | "all connections" is overkill | 09:20 |
| kanzure | not even the genome specifies all connections | 09:20 |
| fenn | of course not | 09:20 |
| fenn | but it's like having a copy of the human genome to look at | 09:21 |
| fenn | vs chromosome maps or whatever | 09:21 |
| kanzure | chromosome maps? | 09:22 |
| fenn | looks like this project has been around since 2009 | 09:24 |
| fenn | they were able to localize certain genes to certain chromosomes before sequencing the whole thing | 09:26 |
| kanzure | what about it? | 09:27 |
| fenn | but it was a very low resolution model | 09:27 |
| kanzure | i think there is a strong possibility that neuroscience people are capable of studying the brain in some amount of detail between "the brain exists" and "having all knowledge of all connections between all neurons in a specific specimen" | 09:27 |
| fenn | it's very convenient to have a whole map you can zoom in and out of, instead of a bunch of scattered pictures and a blurry high level overview | 09:28 |
| kanzure | zooming is not an argument for "as if we could ever figure it all out without actually scanning a brain and tracing all the connections" | 09:29 |
| fenn | also you can theoretically run simulations and poke at the simulation in order to see what happens | 09:29 |
| fenn | like the visual6502 simulation | 09:30 |
| kanzure | visual6502 does have modules of functions, screw you | 09:30 |
| fenn | just knowing the structure of a few modules and a photo of the whole chip won't let you make a working (accurate) simulation | 09:31 |
| kanzure | you weren't making a simulation of an existing chip you were attempting to make a microprocessor | 09:31 |
| kanzure | microchips are a terrible example for you to give because we've been reverse engineering those since forever | 09:32 |
| fenn | sure, also if a single part fails the whole thing is useless | 09:32 |
| kanzure | why are you so repulsed by the existence of neuroscience literature? | 09:32 |
| fenn | it's just too much data to ever comprehend | 09:32 |
| fenn | and it's not formalized as far as i can tell | 09:33 |
| kanzure | what do you mean by formalized | 09:33 |
| -!- Merovoth [~Merovoth@gateway/tor-sasl/merovoth] has quit [Remote host closed the connection] | 09:33 | |
| fenn | there's no standard way to describe things unambiguously | 09:33 |
| fenn | so you can't just load all the data we have into a computer | 09:33 |
| fenn | it's as if people were trying to make google maps from a bunch of directions given by old people "go over the hill, then see a barn on the left with a rooster windmill and turn right" | 09:35 |
| fenn | but they can't agree on what a barn is | 09:35 |
| kanzure | i think they have agreed | 09:35 |
| fenn | and you're like "just shut the fuck up and give me GPS coordinates" | 09:35 |

| kanzure | "An exhaustive, 120-page national report on the state of scientific postdoctoral researchers released Wednesday urges a range of reforms to ensure that thousands of well-educated scientists do not spend their most creative years in low-paid training for jobs that are in scarce supply." no shit? | 09:37 |
| kanzure | report http://www.nap.edu/catalog/18982/the-postdoctoral-experience-revisited | 09:37 |
| kanzure | "The report, released by three of the most prestigious national organizations in science, engineering, and medicine, suggests postdoctoral researchers should receive higher salaries, better mentoring, and a time limit on how long they can work in those jobs." | 09:37 |
| kanzure | "One of the main problems with understanding the postdoc problem that is underscored in the report is the lack of information about the population, sometimes called the “invisible people” of science. The estimate of how many postdocs there are in the U.S. varies widely, from 60,000 to 100,000 people." | 09:39 |
| kanzure | "They are compensated significantly less than other similarly trained peers. In the biomedical sciences, people spend on average six to seven years earning a doctoral degree. The new report found that people in the life sciences who then went on to take a postdoc job were compensated on average $42,000 per year, while their peers who held a doctorate who took a non postdoc position received $65,000." | 09:39 |
| fenn | huh i thought there were more than that | 09:39 |
| kanzure | "A five-year limit on how long a person can spend working as a postdoc. Introducing a new tier of staff scientists for people who would like to do science but do not wish to start their own laboratories. Introducing a range of career paths starting in the first year of graduate school, to help change the idea that everyone should simply go on to a postdoc." | 09:40 |

| kanzure | "Increasing postdoc salaries. The National Institutes of Health pays $42,000 per year for its postdoctoral award, and this amount is often used as the baseline by institutions across the country. The report suggests this should be increased to $50,000 per year." er.. $50k is better of course, but this is not going to solve systemic problems. there should be a range between $40k and $500k. | 09:40 |
| fenn | how is "60k-100k" a "glut" | 09:42 |
| kanzure | number of available academic jobs? | 09:43 |
| kanzure | competition with grad students? | 09:43 |
| fenn | "The problem is that any researcher running a lab today is training far more people than there will ever be labs to run" | 09:43 |
| fenn | 09:45 | |
| fenn | “As I got older and developed more outside responsibilities . . . it became easier to have more postdocs than graduate students because they didn’t need as much supervision. You could have a bigger lab that way without occupying more of your time,” Petsko said. “I could have done almost as much science and just about as good science with a significantly smaller lab.” | 09:45 |
| fenn | sounds like they are in demand by PI's | 09:46 |
| fenn | Petsko said he is the “poster child” for how the system can go wrong, by building a laboratory that leaned heavily on efficient, smart postdocs who could do science productively, rather than emphasizing their training. | 09:47 |
| fenn | how is that "going wrong" | 09:47 |
| fenn | it seems like the real problem is that postdocs don't get enough credit and can't use the results of their work for personal advancement | 09:49 |
| kanzure | eh, sure, their results are owned by the lab/university | 09:50 |
| kanzure | and methods | 09:50 |
| fenn | not what i mean, although that is a problem too | 09:51 |
| fenn | Ydenberg, 33, has an impressive resume: he earned a PhD at Princeton, then went for a postdoc at Brandeis. This summer, a decade into his training, he realized that not only were the odds of getting a faculty job against him, but he didn’t think he really wanted one. He felt burnt out. | 09:52 |
| archels | kanzure: one could argue that motor planning is internal execution | 09:52 |
| fenn | Today, Ydenberg is pursuing a job that gives him real joy, building websites. | 09:52 |
| archels | "all the brain is for motor control", etc. | 09:52 |
| fenn | along those lines we incorporate machines into our body image | 09:53 |
| kanzure | fenn: can you imagine the sort of hell you would have to be in for building websites to seem like an enjoyable career prospect? | 09:53 |
| fenn | you're not "operating a vehicle" so much as "moving with an updated body map" | 09:53 |
| fenn | similar situation with moving around in directory tree | 09:54 |
| fenn | i think that's why hierarchical filesystems still haven't died | 09:55 |
| fenn | it fits our evolved "mouse in a tunnel" navigation processes | 09:56 |
| kanzure | i see no difference between those two | 09:57 |

| fenn | side effects include hallucinations, nausea, and vomiting. | 13:06 |
| fenn | so it probably affects the serotonin system | 13:06 |
| fenn | i guess what i'm after is to block whatever happens that causes you to forget your dreams | 13:07 |
| fenn | my short term memory is really bad for about 30 minutes after waking up; i assume this is supposed to prevent me from remembering my dreams since they didn't really happen | 13:07 |
| fenn | hmm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oneirogen http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Oneirogens | 13:08 |
| fenn | atropine.. no | 13:09 |
| nmz787 | dream herb never gave me any weird effects outside of enhanced dream memory and vividity | 13:09 |
| fenn | how did you acquire it | 13:09 |
| nmz787 | i've had some for a few years but haven't taken it | 13:09 |
| nmz787 | idk internet | 13:09 |
| nmz787 | amazon probably most recently | 13:09 |
| nmz787 | or bouncing bear botanicals, or mt rose herb | 13:10 |
| nmz787 | ya amazon has it | 13:15 |
| jrayhawk | Poor dream recall is a B6 deficiency symptom. | 13:15 |
| nmz787 | jrayhawk: this enhances dreams though, unless I was always naturally deficient | 13:15 |
| nmz787 | during the time i originally discovered it, I also did the other 'good practice' things too though, so it could have been a synergism back then... like having a dream journal | 13:16 |
| nmz787 | its actually pretty cool to randomly open a notebook while looking for some research notes to find it was a dream journal | 13:17 |
| nmz787 | 10+years later | 13:17 |
| fenn | but you only remember the things you wrote, not the dream itself | 13:18 |
| nmz787 | i remember the imagery | 13:19 |
| nmz787 | even now, without the journal in front of me | 13:19 |
| nmz787 | my point was, i remembered the dream more clearly when I woke up and wrote it down as best I could, before having to go to high school or whatever and forgetting it in the onslaught of a normal day | 13:20 |
| fenn | that's what i used to think, until i realized that i was remembering the story i had made up to explain the dream, and the imagery that goes with that story | 13:21 |
| fenn | because occasionally i'd remember flashes of some weird thing that didn't fit the story | 13:21 |
| fenn | but there was no obvious way to put it into a narrative | 13:22 |
| fenn | remember is probably the wrong word though | 13:22 |
| nmz787 | maybe, but maybe you are more a narrator than an image explainer? | 13:22 |
| nmz787 | (i mean maybe we are different kind of story tellers) | 13:23 |
| nmz787 | anyway, it's cheap enough to try, and apparently most people don't have negative side effects | 13:24 |
| nmz787 | cause 10-15 years later I see it on amazon | 13:24 |
| fenn | there's usually a whole lot of information that goes along with whatever images/places/people are in the dream, and just getting all that information down on a page would take too long, so you have to hint at things instead of deliberately slogging through biographical data and technical terms for clothing and architecture that i probably don't even know | 13:24 |
| nmz787 | oh ya | 13:24 |
| nmz787 | especially when you're waking up and your hand doesn't want to scribble | 13:25 |
| nmz787 | but i remember noting certain key facts about pre-lucidity | 13:25 |
| fenn | or like, if you're a secret agent and there's a whole long rationale about how you beleaguered nation has been in a cold war with bregna for 15 years, you don't really have to come out and say it | 13:25 |
| nmz787 | like the radio station changing on the car radio when I did a double-take | 13:25 |
| kanzure | jrayhawk: what about perfect dream recall | 13:35 |
| kanzure | 'cause mom claims to have hours of dream recall per night/morning | 13:35 |
| jrayhawk | impressive | 13:35 |
| kanzure | she says it's exhausting | 13:35 |
| fenn | tell her to sleep in her dreams :P | 13:36 |
| kanzure | yes usually i have to outline multiple separate dreams if i want to have a chance of correctly remembering them | 13:38 |
| kanzure | and then later fill in the elaborations or whatever | 13:38 |
| kanzure | otherwise i lose number four or five | 13:39 |
| fenn | your typing speed is probably a big advantage here | 13:39 |
| jrayhawk | "The present study investigated dream recall frequency and dream content of patients with insomnia in comparison to healthy controls. Patients' dream recall frequency was elevated [...]" "A decline in polysomnographic sleep quality was associated with a decline in reported dream or nightmare recall frequency." | 13:40 |
| jrayhawk | well, thanks, science, it's good to know that things are both correlated and reverse correlated | 13:41 |
| jrayhawk | that clears everything up | 13:41 |
| * kanzure looks through his dreams/ folder | 13:42 | |
| kanzure | there is one about being really mad at the zoo for not letting me into the underground secret zoo | 13:42 |
| fenn | those bastards | 13:42 |
| fenn | keeping the mutant turtles for themselves | 13:43 |
| fenn | appeared in Denver in 2006 with no memory of his name or where he was from. After his appearance on national television, to appeal for help identifying himself, his fiancée Penny called Denver police identifying him. The episode was diagnosed as dissociative fugue. | 13:47 |
| fenn | dear lazyweb who am i | 13:47 |
| fenn | On May 31, 2009, an Air France plane (Air France Flight 447) carrying 228 people from Brazil to France crashed into the Atlantic Ocean, killing everyone on board. The pilot of the plane reported "I didn’t sleep enough last night. One hour – it’s not enough," | 13:54 |
| fenn | there really ought to be some simple test where you strap a camera on someone's face and record an eeg while they zone out for a couple minutes | 13:57 |
| fenn | like a breathalyzer interlock but for sleepiness | 13:57 |
| nmz787 | fenn: that's an interesting idea | 14:05 |
| fenn | there are numerous systems for passenger cars but it seems like it would be more important for commercial drivers | 14:06 |
| fenn | supposedly chernobyl was caused by sleep deprivation | 14:11 |
| kanzure | well so was your mom | 14:13 |

| fenn | i'm utterly underwhelmed by the fukushima radiation doses received ... "Three workers were exposed to radiation and two were rushed to a hospital with up to 180 mSv" | 15:40 |

| fenn | "acute dose level estimated to increase cancer risk 0.8%" | 15:42 |
| fenn | rush them to the hospital! | 15:42 |
| kanzure | isn't cancer risk like 100% on a long enough timeline? | 15:43 |

It further explains that many respectable physicists wouldn't stand for that sort of thing, "partly because it was a debasement of science, but mostly | 15:47 |
