kanzureif i had to send someone 100 million years into the future, who the hell should it be06:53
JayDuggerooh! I have plenty of candidates. Just promise me you'll aim for hard vacuum.06:55
archelsmake sure you send them to an evening, maybe late afternoon06:55
archelsunless you hate them really hard, which I guess is implied here06:55
eudoxiakanzure: that depends on whether or not they can carry something to record what they find06:56
JayDuggerOh, yes. Plenty of empty space between the ears.06:58

JayDuggerYou ask as if you can do it. What did you expect?07:21
kanzurei am reasonably confident07:21
JayDuggerAt a rate of more than 1 year traveled per year experienced?07:22
kanzureno :-)07:22
JayDuggerWell, work on that, and I'll volunteer for the second trip.07:22
kanzureperhaps i'll just send someone forward far enough to find a backwards time machine07:23
JayDuggerFirst thing you should do with a time machine? Find a better one.07:23
JayDuggerSecond thing you should do with a time machine? Destroy all the other time machines.07:23
kanzureyou also have to fix all the causality faults07:24
JayDuggerNah, that's a myth. You can spend your time traveling keeping history on track through the rivers of tears of oceans of blood, sure. Plenty do that.07:25
JayDuggerIt's much more interesting in principle to fork history into what ever you please. I imagine that seductive idea provides the cobblestones for a lot of well-paved roads to various private hells.07:26
kanzureperhaps it will be an essay contest, k-pax style07:31
kanzure"i should get to go to the future because ...."07:31

JayDuggerUnless it's a one-way box.07:34
kanzureuh because i don't know how to go backwards07:34
kanzureit's one-way.07:34
JayDuggerOh, never mind.07:34
eudoxiawhy 100 million years? why not closer to the heat death? at that point whatever you send is likely to get picked up as people will be hoovering up any bits of energy they can find07:35

kanzureeudoxia: heat death is less useful in my opinion, what are you going to do, float around as a pile of leptrons?07:37
eudoxiakanzure: i said closer, just when posthumans are starting to hunker down in bunkers of protons for the long night07:38
eudoxiabut not when all protons have decayed07:39
kanzurei think it would be interesting to set the chronometer for sometime when the earth still exists07:39

kanzurealso the mechanism of travel requires a facility a few kilometers under the bottom of the ocean07:42
JayDuggerTwo FIXMEs before I volunteer for the second Janus mission.07:47
JayDugger1) faster rate, 2) secret underground base underwater07:47
kanzurecan't do #107:47
kanzurealthough the subjective time should be zero, does that count?07:48

kanzurethe problem with the "just get a data center of neural tissue cultures" approach is that the interface between remote regions of the brain is not merely electrical. and that sensing all the other factors is difficult and problematic to transfer over electrical-only interfaces to separate petri dishes.11:04

kanzuremay be pivotal to its function tho?11:12
@fennmy original idea was to literally have a tube sticking out of your head that connects to another brain (or brain-pod)11:12
kanzurepatch clamp experiments have shown neural networks to restructure in the presence of only electrical stimulation so perhaps you're right11:12

@fennbut packet switched networks are super awesome and many orders of magnitude faster11:13
kanzureyou're just trading squishy problems for iptable problems :P11:14
@fennthat's a deal i'd take any day11:14
@fennit might even be worth it to just add an internal optical network to the brain, to link up far-flung regions more effectively11:16
@fennlike the plan for silicon chips to use optical interconnects11:17
kanzurei wonder what the brain would route through that11:17
@fennoh the usual murmur11:17
@fennthe interface would be optogenetically enhanced neurons right? so it would be whatever is going through the specific neurons that are linked to the optical network11:18
-!- FourFire [~FourFire@145-48-11.connect.netcom.no] has joined ##hplusroadmap11:18
kanzureyes but the brain can restructure to some extent11:18
@fennba11:18
kanzureso through whatever learning it experiences the actual traffic might be different from whatever region you thought you originally wired up (but this isn't a /problem/)11:18
@fennyes that's the whole point11:19
@fenni don't really want to think about potato salad every time i see the color blue11:19
kanzurei don't believe you need optogenetics for that, only the interconnect needs to be optimal (actually, not even)11:19
kanzure*optical11:19
kanzurei believe a single wire can be faster than traveling through brain matter11:20

@fennof course, that's the whole point11:20
@fennit's like gaining an extra dimension11:20
@fenn3d chips vs 2d chips11:21
kanzure(the wire doesn't need to be optical fiber)11:21
@fennanyway i think optogenetics is less harmful to the brain tissue11:21
kanzureah11:21
@fennand it's more selective11:21
kanzuretodo: selective breeding of neurons and other brain cells that can withstand being wired up to electrodes forever11:22
@fennalso you could do some optical equivalent of "just a wire" where one cell emits photons and the photons travel down the fiber and stimulate another cell that is sensitive to that wavelength11:22
kanzuresounds like they would need to be very very optically sensitive11:23
@fennsure well it's dark so why not11:23
@fennit just needs to have a reasonably good signal to noise ratio11:24
kanzurehehe we could just attach photoreceptors to synapses :-)11:24
@fennthe thing i dont like about "just a wire" is that it's basically hard-coded and can't restructure11:25
@fennbut we don't really know the best way to hook everything together (or if it is even beneficial in the first place011:25
kanzureand you're worried that just a wire wouldn't be sufficient to see any sort of benefits?11:25
@fennwell it's extremely unlikely that you'd guess the best possible configuration on the first try through sheer luck11:26
kanzureperhaps interconnects are so advantageous that anything at all of that nature would confer obvious improvements..?11:26
kanzure</hoping> yeah ok11:26
@fennalso it would be beneficial to be able to change the wiring in order to get a different perspective or for different situations11:27

@fenn.wik neuromelanin11:32
yoleaux"Neuromelanin (NM) is a dark pigment found in the brain which is structurally related to melanin. It is a polymer of 5,6-dihydroxyindole monomers. Neuromelanin is expressed in large quantities in dopaminergic cells of the substantia nigra, giving dark color to the structure." — http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuromelanin11:32
kanzurei would expect more wavelengths to be more useful11:32
@fennof course11:33
kanzureespecially if the response curves are specific11:33
@fennit rapidly gets unfeasible when the wavelength is longer than cell body diameter11:33
kanzureobviously what the neurons need is giant antennae proteins so they can pick up satellite communications11:34
@fennhuh, "White people have lower amounts of neuromelanin. This is why Parkinson's disease and degenerative brain disorders such as dementia are more common among white-skinned populations."11:34

@fenn"DRD2 rs1800497 polymorphism increase the risk of mood disorder: Evidence from an update meta-analysis"11:48
@fennDRD2 is the dopamine receptor for positive reward?11:49
@fennso does this mutation increase the reward signal or decrease it?11:49
@fenn"Some researchers have previously associated the polymorphism Taq 1A (rs1800497) to the DRD2 gene. However, the polymorphism resides in exon 8 of the ANKK1 gene.[9] DRD2 TaqIA polymorphism has been reported to be associated with an increased risk for developing motor fluctuations in Parkinson's disease."11:50
@fenn"a single nucleotide polymorphism that causes an amino acid substitution within the 11th of 12 ankyrin repeats of ANKK1 (Glu713Lys of 765 residues). This polymorphism, which is commonly referred to Taq1A, was previously believed to be located in the promoter region of the DRD2 gene, since the polymorphism is proximal to the DRD2 gene and can influence DRD2 receptor expression.[1] It is now known11:51
@fennto be located in the coding region of the ANKK1 gene which controls the synthesis of dopamine in the brain.[2] The A1 allele is associated with increased activity of striatal L-amino acid decarboxylase."11:51
@fennso, in plain english, this mutation increases the synthesis of dopamine in the brain11:52
@fennthis whole page is worth reading actually https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANKK111:54
@fennso were you trying to give people the Taq1A+ or Taq1A- version of the gene?11:59
@fennthe Soderquist paper was not about the rs1800497 improving working memory directly, but rather that children with the mutation were "trained" better to perform other working memory tasks (like the dual n-back brain-exercise regiment)12:04
@fenner, i mean they got more benefit from "brain exercise" supposedly12:04
