archelsI like it when people use lines of code as a measure of complexity06:53
archelsjust asked my prof if he had some reference implementation. "I didn't write code ( I think it will take 10 lines to do most of it)"06:54
archelsmaybe that's the trick to writing an AGI. Just make sure it squeezes into 10 lines of code06:55
wrldpc1I’ll be in Frisco next month 22-26 any cool science/technology-related things worth doing?  I’m planning on the Computer Museum?  ::shrug:: never really been to San Fran before.07:15

signo5i had a couple questions re: nootropics, but the channel for that seems pretty dead.  would this be an appropriate place to ask them?15:05
kanzureyep15:05
signo5cool15:06
signo5last night i was reading through the nootropics subreddit wiki and noticed that several items with notes saying that they can actually impair rather than improve function in individuals who are already high-performing15:07
signo5i was wondering if anyone knew of a list of items that show evidence of this effect, or an easy method of checking specific nootropics15:08
signo5also i was going to ask if anyone had recommendations for nootropics for improving processing speed or executive function.  my searches have turned up very little15:11

archelssigno5: it's quite well known, e.g. in dopamine levels15:14
archels#reddit-nootropics and ##nutrition are both active, by the way15:15
archelsyou could look into dopaminergics, cholinergics for the functions you mentioned15:15
signo5archels, was your first message re: my 1st or 2nd question?15:17
signo5maybe i just hit #reddit-nootropics at off times then, i've seen very little activity while in there15:18

signo5reading up on on dopaminergics and cholinergics now15:23
signo5archels, could you elaborate a bit on the first answer?  or possibly suggest some reading/search terms?15:24
archelssee e.g. http://static1.squarespace.com/static/52272295e4b03da9a53f8c7f/t/54624a07e4b08c4a3ae778ce/1415727623991/CoolsDEsposito_BiolPsychiat_2011.pdf15:25
signo5i just recently stopped taking adderall after 6-7 years because it felt like it was doing more harm than good15:26

kanzurethat's sort of happened on its own :-)18:15
kanzureall the wizards think that things like dying is not always a good idea18:15

justanotherusrkanzure: what do you think about the FDA being a label enforcement agency?18:18
justanotherusrNot informing about drugs may lead to another "non addictive heroin", but anything above labeling leads to a beurocratic process preventing people from getting medical care18:20

ryankarasonit is nonsensicle in my mind.. you should research what you put in your body..18:25
ryankarasonErowid's vault has plenty of research.. you shouldn't just look at a warning label and go by that anyway..18:25
justanotherusryeah, people are dumb though. I guess erowid didn't exist when heroin was the "non addictive opium alternative"18:30

kanzureDrethelin: i think even people with zero money can understand the importance of avoiding death19:20
kanzureDrethelin: money does not modulate your understanding of death19:20
jrayhawki dunno, i think there's some legitimacy to the idea that cryonics are pretty high up on maslow's hierarchy19:22
DrethelinKanzure: this is false19:23
Drethelinpeople who have less resources statistically act in riskier ways19:24
Drethelinimplicitly valuing their lives less19:24

jrayhawkprobably19:24
jrayhawki am a contrarian asshole19:24
kanzurefucker19:24
jrayhawkhee19:24
kanzureDrethelin: so you specifically think that death does not impact the poor...?19:24
kanzurewhy would the number of monies in your pocket modulate how much you die when you die? wtf19:25
kanzurethis is infuriating19:25
Drethelinkanzure: you're thinking in a black and white way rather than a probablistic way19:26
kanzurewhy would i care how much they value their lives?19:27
kanzurewhy would i expect them to have accurate valuations19:27
kanzureor anyone for that matter19:27
Drethelinyou seem to care enough to call nonsense about me making a statement about how people value their lives19:27
jrayhawkkanzure: stress drops IQ19:28
jrayhawkwhile rich people generally work up to their tolerable level of stress, poor people have no choice but to exceed it19:29

kanzurei don't understand any of your arguments19:30

kanzurealso, why would someone have to value their own life in any particular way in order to think that death is dumnb19:47
kanzure*dumb19:47
Drethelinso, plenty of people don't want die, some do, but there is a clear variation in how much effort people are willing to put into not dying19:49
Drethelina lot of this is related to whether people think they're going to die anyway, whether they think they can or have achieved something with their lives, whether they feel safe/happy etc.19:50
Drethelinif you expect the rest of your life to be miserable, you don't neccesarily want more of it19:53
Drethelinso the newly rich went from expecting their continued life to be one way, to expecting it to be way better19:54
Drethelinthus incentivizing them to put more energy into finding ways to prolong that life19:54
kanzureokay, well you don't have to want a good life for yourself to recognize that death is dumb19:54
kanzureyour own life can be shit, who cares?19:54
Drethelinmost people don't dedicated their lives to helping everyone else19:56
Drethelinso clearly they care19:56
kanzureyou don't have to "dedicate a life" to know that death is dumb19:56
Drethelinok but19:58
Drethelinso what?19:58
Drethelinso you recognize death is dumb19:58
Drethelinwhat do you do next?19:59
DrethelinNOTHING19:59
Drethelinthen it might as well have not been recognized19:59
Drethelinactually nevermind19:59
Drethelinthis conversation sucks19:59
jrayhawkthis is a true fact20:00
kanzurehave you read up on my cryonics plans20:00
kanzureor are you legitimely interested in death20:00
kanzure*legitmately20:00
kanzureeven if i knew with absoulte certainty that everyone i have ever known is going to die, i still do not think this should modulate whether i think this is good, or whether i think others should find it good or whether i should think others accept it or don't even think about it; i wouldn't want to make sweeping statements like that at all.20:05
kanzurei'm also amused by your pessimism. isn't the phrase around here "immortality or bust" or something?20:08
