fennthat's more like "parametric extrusions" than tubing; i was expecting something like the BRL-CAD "pipe" object http://www.abclinuxu.cz/images/clanky/jansa/brlcad3-pipe1.png http://brlcad.org/~starseeker/vol3/book/tutorial_series/volume_III.xhtml#id90799705:10

fennthe merchant shouldn't have expected to get his bank notes back after being stolen!05:14
fennhe should have taken out an insurance policy against theft05:14

kanzureperhaps insurance wasn't invented yet05:30
fennanyway i don't think the answer to his problem is "make money untraceable" instead it should be "don't have stupid expectations that the bank will take care of your mistakes"05:31
fennalso, a point that seems to never be adequately addressed in these untraceable money proposals is that most people don't want to support criminal enterprises and would like to know if they are receiving stolen/extorted/bloody money05:33
fennnot only for the reason that they don't want the police to seize their money, but because they don't want to do business with criminals05:34
kanzurehaving the ability to filter money (for political or criminal reasons) means that you are essentially bifurcating the money and making it not fungible05:35
kanzureit would be trivial to pass every dollar through that taint function.. oops your whole money supply is now tainted.05:35
fenndon't use a boolean taint value05:35
fennsome people would be fine doing business with drug dealers but not murderers, or would be ok with doing business with people who do business with murderers, etc.05:36
kanzureover time your money will touch the hands of everyone, with enough circulation, so ... things are just going to stop moving..05:37
fenni don't know how to actually implement this05:37
fennbut for example intel doesn't buy "blood tantalum"05:37
fennit seems like it should be possible to make reasonable assumptions and observations without actually being legally compelled to05:38
fennit's probably better for each participant in the economy to have their own "taint function" so as to not enable someone from gaming a fixed set of rules05:38
kanzureand what would the input data be?05:40
fenni think what would happen is "clean money" would become more valuable and only be spent where it is required, and "dirty money" would be circulated in the dirty money economy, but there would still be significant overlap05:40
fennyou couldn't trade clean money for dirty money because mumble mumble05:41
kanzureas you increase the number of economy participants that will reject transactions because of some taint function output, you decrease the number of transactions that anyone is going to be able to make05:41
kanzurealso because the whole thing is a push system and not a pull system05:41
kanzurealso what's so bad about threaded screw leads? CaptHindsight was complaining.05:41
fennyeah he seemed stuck on the build quality thing even though nobody said anything about it05:42
fenni dont know what you mean "push system"05:43
kanzureanyone can make a bitcoin transaction to any known bitcoin address05:43
fennoh05:43
fennwell then they just gave you some money05:43
kanzureand now your balance is tainted05:44
fennno, those particular bitcoins are tainted05:44
kanzureyou taint everything that appears in the transaction's outputs, and possibly all past/future transactions from that address even if those other transactions are unrelated to that utxo05:45
fennok well you shouldnt reuse addresses05:46
kanzuretrue dat05:46
fenni mean, this is a quirk of how bitcoin handles transcations, there are no actual bitcoins05:46
fennlike there are no serial numbers05:46
kanzurestill, there is a utxo taint spreading factor there, if oytu are a hapless user and happen to make a transaction with multiple inputs (including at least one tainted) and multiple outputs, those outputs are now tainted.05:46
fennok so imagine you decreased the taint factor by 0.1 each transaction, then people would just make pointless transactions back and forth until their money is clean again... but simple analysis of the transaction graph would show that somethign fishy is going on, so you hire a company to do analytics on the graph to tell you if the money is being laundered and if so how long ago, but then you have05:49
fennto trust this company not to be a pawn of $badguy05:49
kanzureyou cannot guarantee that others will ever include a taint reduction factor in their personal taint calculations05:49
fenneventually it will all have a nonzero taint value05:50
fennbut that value will be different for every observer05:50
kanzureright05:50
fennand i'm fine with that05:51
kanzureso you don't think that will slow things down or destroy your ability to spend?05:51
kanzureand what about users that don't run a taint function initially? are they now left out of your economy?05:51
fennusers that don't filter their money would be expected to have an average taint score until criminals figure out they can take advantage of them to launder their tainted money05:52
fennif you take money from criminals you're the sort of person being filtered anyway05:53
kanzurewhat if you (correctly!) believe that some law is unjust and the person is not really a criminal05:53
fennthen you're (correctly?) taking a political stand by putting your money where your beliefs are05:54
fennit'd be more productive to try to convince others that the law is unjust and to set their taint filters accordingly05:54
kanzuresomething something then only outlaws will.. er.. only criminals believe in.. uh.. well, i'll just wait for maaku to fix this.05:54
kanzuremaaku: halp05:54
fennthere's something similar in the legal system called jury nullification... the jury can just say "meh we don't believe in this law so the defendant is considered innocent"05:55
fennsomeone who has their taint filter set too high won't be able to accept money from anyone05:56
fenni never liked marc fawzi's "energy accounting" because it reduced everything to one dimension05:57
kanzureand then satoshi strolls through and is like "that's an excellent idea, marc" aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa05:57
fenni want to know what the web of inputs to this transaction looks like so i can decide if i want to participate in {rainforest clearcutting, strip mining, patent trolling, etc}05:58
fennnot just "150GJ were wasted in this production process"05:58
fennso i don't think the system would ever completely lock up or converge to a specific value because people have different ideas about what is right and wrong06:00
kanzurei wonder if i could blame marc fawzi for turning me off from those topics or something, thus why in january 2009 i was like "bitcoin is shit"06:00
fennyes, you certainly could06:00
fennsue, sue!06:01

fennin minecraft there is an emergent concept of "semantic compression" where you can make dirt out of composted tree leaves and then sift the dirt to get iron or silicon or grass seeds because it's all just "dirt" and not "dirt made from compost"06:04
kanzurethat's not fair06:05
-!- ebowden [~ebowden@128.250.233.154] has joined ##hplusroadmap06:06
fenni think maybe it's impossible to get anything done in the real world without semantic compression because it's too hard to operate if you never decide if X is a chair or not06:06
fennthere's just an explosion of simulations and lower level decision making06:07
fennif you never put X in a category with extreme prejudice06:07
kanzureheh apparently i sent marc fawzi some private emails where i attempted to convince him to give up his economics and instead focus on building tech06:08
fennwell he was just posting to the wrong mailing list like a fucktard06:09

archelshere's a new one along the range of "biologically inspired", "biologically plausible", "biologically realistic" and so on: "[...] a spike-timing-dependent learning rule which is reminiscent of experimental results"06:12

yoleaux[p2p-research] Sustainable Abundance: Distributed vs Decentralized06:12
fennweird he lives in oakland and is tweeting about michael o church and lisp06:13
fenni don't get what this has to do with manufacturing or why he thinks it does06:16
kanzure"manufacturing uses energy"?06:17
fennwell i guess it's related in that manufacturing is part of the economy... but so is everything else06:17
kanzure"Hello all, I was invited to this group by a friend just recently and I've been listening to the discussions with a good deal of curiosity and interest."06:18
-!- JayDugger [~jwdugger@108.19.186.58] has joined ##hplusroadmap06:18
fennthe openmanufacturing list did have a lot of discussions about decentralized manufacturing, like the "3d printer in every garage" manifesto06:18
fenni don't remember if there was an actual manifesto or not06:19
fennwhy does gmaxwell spell it "decenteralized"?06:19
kanzurehe has a spelling problem in general06:19
midnightmagicit's a very, very good way to recognise it's actually him, fwiw06:19
kanzurehe spells "mechanism" like "mechenism"06:19
kanzureand he does this weird grammar thing where he forgets to decompress an entire part of his sentences06:20
midnightmagicand it's contagious.06:20
fennyeah that's common with thinking ahead of your typing speed ability06:20
kanzurelike: "but the constants its useless as a concrete explanation for things" -> "but the constants it uses are useless as a concrete explanation for things"06:20
midnightmagicsometimes it won't be a compression-like thing but more like switching sentences midstream.06:21
kanzure"you see what you have to do while reading my text is switch into the universe where i had already said the other sentence i thought i had been saying"06:21
midnightmagiclike he wrote half of it but because IRC input fields are short, he forgot what he wrote fifteen words ago and doesn't check it again (since he's composing partial responses in multiple windows, is my guess)06:21
fennok i was just wondering if it was some political statement about geometry or something06:22
kanzurenot to my knowledge06:23
midnightmagiclol06:23
midnightmagiche would be amused i think, on some level, to discover people are assuming he's doing it on purpose because $smart_person_thing06:24
kanzuremidnightmagic: have you ever read the marc fawzi stuff that satoshi nakamoto was referencing?06:24
kanzuremidnightmagic: the backstory here is that i had banned marc fawzi because i hated him and his ideas :-)06:24

fenni do wonder how you're supposed to get the dot size to be exactly the same every time. if not the same size, how are side reactions prevented07:37
kanzurethere are wash cycles07:38
kanzureor.. something..07:38
kanzurei believe that answer is for both of you07:38
eleitlPiezo has repeatable droplet size, but it will be likely different for different reagents.07:38
fennhmm probably not repeatable on a molecular scale07:38
CaptHindsighteleitl: well define repeatable07:39
eleitlProbably 1%, or thereabouts. I would need to search to know for sure.07:39
kanzureyou could use a microarray with wells (indentations) so that liquids are more likely to collect in the same location07:39
fennbut i could see for example adding a 1.1mm diameter circle of A-base reactant and then adding a 0.9mm diameter circle of make-it-so reactant07:40
kanzurealso with wells you could use beads which could survive wash cycles07:40

CaptHindsightobe/one07:45
CaptHindsightthe inkjet industry is really paranoid and controlling07:46
CaptHindsightprintheads specs are always under tight NDA's07:47
CaptHindsightthe Epsons are cheap and they sort of worked for the application07:47
CaptHindsightthats why it was used in that design07:47
eleitlhow long did your Epson piezos live?07:48
CaptHindsightdepends on what you run through them and how you treat them (how often you flush them)07:48
eleitlwhat liquids are especially corrosive for Epsons?07:49
CaptHindsightthey don't circulate fluid in the reservoir, what goes in is tough to get back out the way it came in, thats the main problem with Epson heads07:49
fennthe posam thing used rather expensive (~$5k) danaher motion control components, so i doubt print head cost was a big concern07:50
fennoops it was parker, not danaher07:50
fenn"The three-axis positioning system utilizes Parker-Daedal 506-series ball screw linear actuators driven by servo motors"07:50
CaptHindsightyou can get a Epson head for the cost of the printer, they start at under $100 and most of the heads are very similar07:50
eleitlso you consider them disposables07:51

fenni'd expect a glass microscope slide or a 96 well plate07:55
fenn(96 well plates are usually styrene but come in a variety of materials)07:56
kanzurenah this was like 10k drops/slide, i also think it would be annoying to calibrate with multiple microarray plates07:56
fennarray plates are good for detecting the presence/absence of one specific sequence out of thousands of targets, but it's a pain to combine 10,000 oligos into one test tube for gene synthesis07:58

fenni think they are just flat plates but i could be wrong08:01
fennthere are "microcapillary array plates" too, but i'm not sure what they are used for08:01
kanzurethose 1 million pixel array plates usually have (micro) beads inside each well, and then you use a micropipette to extract each bead from each well08:02

fenn96 well plates are pretty standard for doing synthetic biology reactions in, so i'd suggest that to be a good target to aim for. however there is a distance of about 4mm between the top of each well and the bottom that you'd have to shoot through08:08
fennsome of these microarray plates being advertised look like they use a flat plate with a set of 96 wells that can be attached on top08:09

CaptHindsightkanzure: if they still have the chemical properties required08:29
CaptHindsightinkjet heads are happy in a very narrow range of operating conditions08:30
CaptHindsighti consider them failed lab experiments since you can just look and then wrong and they clog or act up08:30
fennsplattering could be mitigated by adding forests of pillars to gradually slow the droplet down and increase the wetted surface area so that it doesn't want to leave the surface as esily08:31
CaptHindsightbut if I know what we want to jet and what it's going to hit I'll figure out what makes the most sense to use08:31
fenninstead of a sharp impediance transition from empty space to solid glass you'd have a low density of pillars in the center of the well gradually increasing to a high density near the edges of the well08:32
CaptHindsightthe next thing is the environment that the samples need to be in until they are done being processed?08:32
kanzureCaptHindsight: if there are 15 micron diameter holes (wells) on a plate under the inkjet head, can you get an inkjet to reliably deposit liquid into the correct holes?08:32
kanzurealso do you think an inkjet could deposit 10 micron diameter (glass/gold/plastic) beads by any chance08:33
CaptHindsightkanzure: that printer in the pic I posted looks for <10um valleys and puts fluid into them08:33
CaptHindsightkanzure: yes, but it would not use an Epson head08:34
kanzureif the system uses beads then you gotta prep it by inserting beads- this can be aciheved by washing the surface with a liquid + beads, but you have no guarantees about the beads getting into every hole08:34

fennExcluding waterfrom solvents.09:45
fennThe most critical factorin any synthesis is how the reagents are handled to excluded water fromthe system. From the moment a bottle is opened, it is in contact with waterin the air, and all the solvents used are hygroscopic and will absorb watervapor, which reduces yields. This problem is so severe that it is advisableto avoid large-scale, lengthy, or important runs on rainy or high humiditydays.09:45

fennaround 1m25s would seem to suggest it's a violent blow dry10:02
kanzurebut you'll just blow everything away :/10:03
fennno, the dna is covalently bound to the substrate10:03
kanzureperhaps it's synthesized on to a linker attached to the glass10:03
kanzureand removal?10:03
kanzureoh perhaps no removal, just pcr10:04
kanzureno, wait...10:04
fenn"To cleave the DNA fromthe support matrix and remove protecting groups completely, the supportbound product must be treated with concentrated ammonia at 55° to 60°Covernight"10:04

fennPOSAM is designed for hybridization with mRNA extracted from cells, so they never remove the DNA from the slide anyway10:05
kanzureah so perhaps we should put some design thought into this. wells would be a good start.10:06
kanzureso conflicted. who has time to wait for manually handling a few million beads?10:06
CaptHindsightgive me the list of problems vs possible solutions10:06
fennso i like the 96 well plate format, but it's a long distance from the top of the plate to the bottom of the well. however you can just add the sides of the well later on, after you've synthesized the DNA stuck to the bottom of the well10:06
fennso i'd say synthesize dna in 96 circular spots on a flat plate10:07
fennor however many wells you want10:07
fenni think 384 is the other common number10:08
kanzurethat's not enough to do anything interesting10:08
kanzure96 or 384 is enough for making some primers i guess10:08
fennyou could make 384 sets of primers :P10:09
kanzurewith a million wells you could possibly assemble multi-million bp molecules, including multiple separate genes10:09
kanzureor permutations on various genes10:09
fennno dumbass you do self-assembly in each well10:09
kanzureyou said synthesize in the 96 well format10:09
kanzureor.. something10:10
fennyes so you have 96 sets of 1000 oligos10:10
fennthe parallel assembly is tricky and will probably fail though10:10
fennso maybe 1000 is optimistic. it doesn't seem too bad; with 40bp overlap that's 4^40 possible strand combinations which is way more than 100010:11
fenni don't really know why gibson assembly fails in practice10:11
fennkanzure: cambrian genomics is using a million beads per slide because 99% of their beads are completely empty in order to ensure that each bead only has one dna molecule on it10:14
fennyou don't actually have to move a million beads one by one10:14
fennyou only have to move 1%*1million = 10,000 beads10:14
fennanyway i don't know why we're even talking about beads10:16
fennat some point you clone a single molecule of DNA and either it has errors or it doesn't10:18
fennif it has errors you throw it away10:19
fennif it doesn't have errors you keep it10:19
fennyou'd like to do this as soon as possible in the assembly process, but you also don't want to move around a million beads10:20
fennso i say self-assemble a large number of short strands that are not likely to contain errors, because they are short. do this in the same well you synthesized them in10:21
fennthen you only have to deal with 96 "things" instead of 10,000 "things"10:22
fenni'd rather throw away 91 "things" with a 95% fail rate than throw away 500 "things" with a 5% fail rate10:24
fenni need some help with the math regarding the expected error rate vs a given oligo length10:25
CaptHindsightmaking slides with small wells is not a problem10:26
kanzurebeads because it is easier to move beads10:26
fennszostak says: P (n,m,x)= [m!/(m - n)!n!][x]n[1 - x]m-n10:26
fenn 10:26
kanzurenot sure i understand why they had so many unused beads...?10:26
fennwhere P is theprobability of finding n errors in an oligonucleotide m inlength with x level of misincorporation (fraction "wrong" nucleotides delivered)10:26
kanzureoh, one dna molecule per bead. not sure we have that requirement though.10:26
CaptHindsightwhats in the well after it's done printing and reacting? what is that bit called?10:29
CaptHindsighta short strand?10:29

yoleaux"In chemistry, an oligomer (i/əˈlɪɡəmər/) (oligo-, "a few" + -mer, "parts") is a molecular complex that consists of a few monomer units, in contrast to a polymer, where the number of monomers is, in principle, not limited. Dimers, trimers, and tetramers are, for instance, oligomers composed of two, three and four monomers, respectively." — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oligomer10:31

CaptHindsightdepositing ACGT and some catalysts layer by layer is a no brainer10:50
fennif you want an 80mer and each step is 99% efficient your probability of success is .99^80 = 44%10:50
fenner, overall efficiency10:51
fenn56% of the molecules will have one or more errors10:51
CaptHindsighthow long is the reaction time per step? does it vary based on the volume of the material?10:51

fennOligonucleotide impurities originate from:11:06
fennx incomplete addition of nucleotides forming so-called truncated fragments, whose synthesis has been prematurely terminated by a subsequent capping step;11:07
fennx inefficient capping of sequences that have failed to incorporate a nucleotide forming oligonucleotides with internal deletion11:07
fenns known as (n – x) fragments11:07
fennx inefficient detritylation, also resulting in (n – x) fragments11:07
fennx premature detritylation during coupling resulting in so-called (n + x) fragments which have duplicated nucleotides in the sequence11:07
fennx depurination during the detritylation step, forming oligonucleotides with abasic sites which are cleaved later by ammonia during the deprotection stage11:08
fennx incomplete deprotection;11:08
fennx oligonucleotide derivatization with reagents used or formed in the synthesis and deprotection steps11:08

fenn(x's above are bullet points)11:09
kanzurespecifically, which step if any is *not* listed in that list heh11:09
fennwell that's the point, every step introduces error11:11
CaptHindsightso theoretically if you had a nano-dispenser of each monomer you could cut down on those errors11:13
fennum, no?11:13
fennwhat do you mean nano-dispenser?11:13
kanzurehe probably means single molecule dispenser11:14
CaptHindsightlets say you could dispense ACTG a molecule at a time11:14
kanzureand the answer is no; you can't shoot molecules that precisely, really.11:14
fenneven polymerases make errors when they are guaranteed to have a dNTP ready11:14
CaptHindsightlets just say that you could11:14
CaptHindsightI'm trying to understand what causes the errors11:15
kanzuremore theoretically the origin of errors is that even with a 99.9% error rate you can't get perfect results because if you have 500 steps each at 99.9% yield rate then you end up with a bunch of contamination and wrong results11:16

fennkanzure that doesn't close the loop11:20

fennhmmm bc.i claims transaction fees were 26.5BTC which doesn't make sense if the minimum fee is 10 uBTC and there are a maximum of 1800 transactions per block13:26
fennoh that's per day13:27
kanzurefenn: some people are concerned that there hasn't been enough time to get enough users, e.g. such that if you continue to allow zero-fee transactions for a while longer that when people do start paying fees that there will be far more transactoins and fees available, or something....13:28
kanzurefenn: and then there's an entirely different set of people that seem to think that fees should never be mandatory, or that the network should self-hard-fork in the event that only transactions with fees get into the blockchain or something13:29
kanzure(thankfully nobody has made an actual "official" proposal about that self-hard-forking concept, heh)13:29
fennthey are perfectly free to include zero-fee transactions in their blocks13:29
fennmine away13:29
kanzurealso, there's some chance that average transaction fee will increase to some absurdly high level if there's lots of transaction competition, such that the minimum transaction fee likely to get int othe blockchain is greater than the value of anyone's savings on the blockchain13:31
kanzurehowever, for that to be true there would have to be a massive increase in transaction volume, a massive increase in average or median transaction fees, full blocks, transaction competition around fees, and also the exchange rate of bitcoin would have to go down(?) because otherwise if it went up then your transaction fees would actually be lower not greater13:32
fenn.title https://gist.github.com/gavinandresen/504448213:33
yoleauxBack-of-the-envelope calculations for marginal cost of transactions13:33
fenn"Andresen calculated that a miner should demand a fee of at least 0.0008 BTC, which at the time was worth $0.41, to include an average-sized transaction."13:34
fennoh this was based on the price of the block subsidy, not the cost of cpu time to validate blocks13:39
fenni guess it's a really complicated question13:40

eleitlEmail is a dying medium, and the new kids just don't care.15:46
kanzurethat doesn't explain why the old people aren't writing email (not that i want them to write email--- i want them to take neuroscience classes, and stuff)15:46
eleitlAssuming, there are any new kids at all.15:46
eleitlOld people are now mostly offline, or just exchange catty emails in clandestine mailservs.15:47
eleitlSee silent-tristero.15:47
kanzureperhaps a better question would be why there seemed to be a high signal-noise ratio15:47

eleitlHigh bareer to entry. If you were online in the 1980s, there was a very good reason.15:47
kanzuredid they have to cull lots of people out of the group...? was there someone editing everyone's emails to make them look better?15:47
kanzurehmm.15:48

eleitlManual digests was all there was to it.15:48
kanzureah, did everything start as digest mode?15:48
kanzureor was it always transactional..?15:48
eleitlI was always feeling like an impostor on s-t.15:49
kanzureperhaps long delays are beneficial for convincing people to write worthy content15:49
eleitlThey had interactions, and digest was extra. I might misremember.15:49
kanzureok15:49

kanzure"if you have something worth saying, then it is worth saying it slowly"15:49
eleitlIn any case, email is dead. Usenet probably, too.15:49

eleitlAsynchronous global communications is really neat.15:51
kanzureon the other hand, i hate the "let's just write lots of emails and pretend we're transhumanists" model of doing things :-)15:52
eleitlThere always was action. It was just not mirrored in emails.15:52
eleitlMutuall exclusive, in fact.15:52
eleitlBut, look up Steven B. Harris on Usenet.15:52
kanzurei see some cryonet posts..?15:53
eleitlCryoNet was at times good, but the laissez-faire approach has killed it15:53
eleitlCryoNet too, for obvious reasons15:54

eleitlAubrey has a very good story, but it is a lot of money down the drain.16:09

kanzurei am good at the "remembering why we are talking about a certain thing, and the thing before this and up the stack, so as to convince others to get back to the original topic". this is one of my specialties.16:12
eleitlIn general, we have a number of people who know things, and won't talk, and about one person who knows things and is willing to talk.16:12
eleitlWe should actually do it as a team, but do it in person. And that is prohibitive.16:13

eleitlWe're clearly SOL here.16:15
archelsall this talk about fast burning, one shot—what about persistence? Might not get your KickStarter funded, but more likely to actually fundamentally get you places16:16
eleitlThe one-shot is about burning the Switzerland brand.16:16
eleitlDanila is also poaching there at the moment, though I don't know anything about it.16:17
eleitlThe people who are involved are competent and well-meaning, but they're not aware about the one-time shot brand.16:17
eleitlSee talking to press, and shutdown.16:17
eleitlBoth no-no.16:18
kanzurewhat is danila medvedev poaching for?16:18
eleitlKrauts have a bad history of talking to press. They seem to think that no publicicity can be bad publicity.16:18
archelsnod, it would need to be a pretty tight group of individuals16:18
eleitlDanila is trying to set up something in Switzerland for wealthy clients. I have no idea what, and whether it's still ongoing.16:19
eleitlThe problem with Switzerland and wealthy Russians is that it just doesn't mix.16:19
eleitlarchels: exactly right16:20
eleitlVery small group, figuring out everything in advance before going public (for very small values of public)16:20
eleitlI don't feel this is a given here. So high probability of failure.16:21
eleitlThe first rule of assistend suicide club...16:21
eleitlThe natives *hate* it. See Sir Terry.16:22
eleitlAnd unlike elsewhere, the native can change the laws easily enough.16:22
eleitlthe natives16:22
eleitlSo keep it quiet, talk FOAF.16:23
kanzurei'm also pretty sure that money would resolve a bunch of your pessimism16:23
kanzureeasy to be pessimistic when there's very few resources :-)16:24
eleitlMoney by itself is useless. Cryonics has a great history of burning multiple MUSD with literally nothing to show for it.16:24
eleitlWhich is why I probably sound like a nazi when talking about control.16:25
kanzurecontrol is good.. for certain project types. cryonics is probably one of those.16:25
eleitlThe problem is getting people with clue with money, and that has been a very rare occurance so far.16:25
kanzureif you had no clue, what stpes could have been taken to avoid burning millions on cryofail?16:26
eleitlAll the successes involve self-bootstrap. All the people with money coming in were no effect.16:26
eleitlThe problem with non-experts is that you don't know who the experts are. Unless you're an expert. It's a very harsh filter.16:27
eleitlYou don't know who to listen to. And all the people with money have own ideas. Very strong ideas.16:27
eleitlWhich happen to be wrong, but remember the Golden Rule.16:27
eleitlThe man with the gold makes the rules.16:27
eleitlI've had 3 data points personally which were all negative.16:28

eleitlWhere do you think you can murder dogs for fun an profit? Asia, probably.16:32
kanzurei wouldn't call it murder, that's a misrepresentation16:33
eleitlI was just being dramatic, for argumentative reasons.16:33
kanzurei'm also surprised that you would go straight to dog ? any reason?16:33
eleitlDogs are docile and have human-assessable personalities.16:34
eleitlThey're also larger than rabbits.16:34
kanzureyou mean like.... because you see a benefit regarding... personality assay?16:34
eleitlBecause if you want to assess survivors, you need to know them before, and have a relationship with them.16:34
kanzureso i have been anticipating <10% survival rate initially, per just *one* organ type16:35
eleitlPigs are not trusting, and very hard to work with if uncooperative. Sheep are just too fucking stupid.16:35
kanzurebut i suppose it's possible there might be >1% whole animal survival initially ?16:35
eleitlStandard run with dogs is just arrest, then resuscitation after delay.16:35
kanzureincluding vitrification?16:35
eleitlIt is surprisingly hard, if you start from scratch.16:35
eleitlNo, just arrest, then resuscitation. Normothermic ischemia, at first.16:36
kanzureyes i suppose that's important too :-)16:36
eleitlThen you progress to premedication, hypothermia, the whole works.16:36
kanzureyep16:36
eleitlWhen I left we were still killing dogs.16:36
kanzurealso: there is already some % cell survival for vitrification and thaw.16:37
eleitlMedicine is hard, let's go shopping.16:37
kanzurepositive % cell survival16:37
eleitlOrgan viabilit or tissue viability is different from resuscitated animal.16:37
kanzuretrue, but it's necessary16:37
eleitlYou have to look at reversible stages to assess what you're doing, or your're flying blind.16:37
eleitlYou can't get into orbit if you're flying blind.16:38
eleitlIt is very hard to come back where you used to be if you're starting from scratch.16:38

eleitlIf anything, it's closer to greefielding a cutting-edge gab.16:39
eleitlfab16:39
eleitlYou document everything and you replicate everything documented, and you've still got 100% dead wafers.16:39
eleitlOr 100% dead dogs.16:40
kanzureyes, lots of people should be working on reducing the differences between different lab configurations, reducing the costs of lab setup, and increasing the repeatability and reliability of complex procedures16:40
eleitlThe easiest way to contain the magic is not trying to replicate the magic.16:40
eleitlA lot of suggestions I hear is that you mothball the facility, and use hirelings for on-demand cases.16:40
eleitlThis Just Doesn't Work(tm).16:41
kanzurethat does not seem like a good strategy for containing magic16:41
kanzuremagic must be thoroughly destroyed at every opportunity16:41
eleitlAdvanced technology is based on magic, unfortunately.16:41
eleitlAnd that makes it a very fickle beast.16:41
kanzurethe transhumanist approach to dealing with 100s of millions of pages of documentation is not to consider it all magic; it should be to automate as much as possible16:42
eleitlThe procedures are contained in people. You can't replicate people, at least not yet.16:42
eleitlYour magic is not documented in the first place.16:42
eleitlthat's your problem16:42
kanzurehm16:42
kanzurehmm16:42
eleitlYou should work in the area for a year or two.16:43
eleitlThen you will believe me. Or not.16:43
kanzureno, i believe you that it is hard to get repeatability16:43
kanzurei have read the alcor patient reports-- it's insane16:43
eleitlOr, talk to a competent intensive care team. Tell them what it takes to greenfield a competent Intensive Care unit.16:43
kanzureon the other hand, checklists seem to have helped many surgery teams16:44
kanzureeven just basic things on a checklist- like washing hands- seems to help16:44
eleitlyou should look at patient report team trend over time, starting with BPI tech briefs16:44

eleitlNow look at CI "patient reports".16:44
eleitlNow that's not much to report, innit.16:45
eudoxiathis backlog is quality stuff, keep it up16:45
eleitlThe problem is I know I can talk to you that way, because you're likely getting it, and there's nothing at stake here.16:46
eleitlWhen you have a working, living process already in place you no longer have a chance with rants like these.16:46

kanzurei think that this data would be better represented by a list of "path" values sorted that way. e.g. yaml file of {path: {name: name, func: func}} or something16:51
dingoi'd like to make the "run order" matter more than it does, the number inside []16:51
dingoin its rendered output, to order as a time-series, as that's what it is16:51
dingoi have 'duration' in millesconds float to use16:51
dingoit would be nice to place start-time with a duration width horizontally16:52

eleitlAnother analogy, your team are practiced musicians, who're tuned in to each other.16:55
eleitlYou need time to get even a practiced team to work with each other.16:55
eleitlIt is muscle memory, coordination, nonverbal stuff. Can't document that.16:56
kanzureeleitl: what do you estimate the complexity would be of robotic-only cryo surgery16:56
eleitlWant to see it watch a surgical team during a complex procedure, be part of it.16:56
eleitlCan't be done. Not for many decades.16:56
kanzureyes, i have seen large choreographed surgery teams >20 people16:56
eleitlSirgical robots are assclowns.16:56
eleitlSurgical.16:56
eleitlkanzure, try being on the team while in a procedure16:57
eleitlJust look what happens.16:57
eleitlVery instructive.16:57
kanzurewatching? sure16:57
eleitlYeah, just gown up, and be a good observer.16:57
eleitlIf you don't interfere they'll tolerate you there.16:58
eleitlDon't get me wrong, you can reduce manpower with simple automation.16:58
eleitlJust logging can reduce the team by maybe 2-5 people.16:58
eleitlIf you can do intubation manually, you can use the cooldown machinery do the rest. No need to control each valve.16:59
eleitlYou can't, in any case.16:59
kanzureand each valve is usually... manually controlled?16:59
eleitlBut please don't try a robot try an intubation. At least just yet.16:59
kanzureagreed16:59
eleitlWe killed enough dogs by just being people.17:00
kanzurelearn anything?17:00
eleitlI've tried telling what I learned.17:00
eleitlCertainly, a lot of humility.17:00
kanzureyou missed a great opportunity for "I've learned that we're all doomed"17:01
eleitlNo, it's just hard.17:01
eleitlHarder than what most people are used to, but that's not that big of a problem.17:01
eleitlMedicine is doing it, so why can't we?17:01
eleitlBut if you ever hear someone, just train the morticians, and let the embalmer handle the perfusion.17:02
eleitlJust do me a favor, and shoot them dead while you have a chance?17:02
kanzureuh, what about anesthesia?17:02
eleitlIn case of animal experiments, sure, you obviously need an anaesthesiologist. And a licencense veterinarian. And an ethics board.17:03
cluckj"tacit knowledge" is what you're looking for17:03
eleitlIn case of a normal patient, there are drugs that make sure you don't pull a Lazarus in the ice bath17:04
eleitlFor active shutdown, you need the whole monty, because you're starting with a fully conscious human patient17:04
eleitlI'm not aware that such a procedure has been done.17:05
eudoxiayou know, alcor might not be perfect, but at least they fought the legal battle for the right to cryopreserve17:05
eudoxiaCI was like "morticians? sure, whatever"17:05
eudoxia"an embalming pump will do"17:05
eleitlThis is not to say it has not been done, but I'm not aware of anyone ever talking about that. It's just what makes most sense technically.17:05
eleitlExactly, eudoxia.17:06
eleitlAnd most cryonics is that way.17:06
eudoxiamhm17:06
eleitlWhich is why I'm not part of any of that.17:06
eleitlPeople who have tried to compromise initially just were stuck there.17:07
eleitlYou shouldn't go intere in the assumption that you can cut corners, and improve later on.17:07
eleitlBecause there is never a later on.17:07
eleitlThe best way to know is your experimental animals stop dying.17:08
kanzurei wonder whether alcor had excellent surgeons from th ebeginning17:08
-!- Guest8333 is now known as vivi17:08
eleitlHow do you know you're still doing well?17:08
eleitlNo cryonics patient have ever sued.17:08
eleitlDead men tell no tales, and all that.17:08
eleitlTell me what you think about this tirade.17:10
eleitlIf you think I'm full of shit, I want to hear it.17:10
kanzureshort-term you have never been full of shit :-)17:11
kanzurelong-term, we need to get our act together :-)17:11
-!- Viper168 [~Viper@unaffiliated/viper168] has joined ##hplusroadmap17:11
kanzurei have been thinking of a "backup plan" in case nobody succeeds in the next 10-20 years17:11
kanzurei think that some projects can begin now that in 200 years will see results, maximum17:11
eudoxiakanzure: what are you success criteria for that timeframe?17:12
kanzureblowing up the galaxy17:12
eudoxiathe speed of light forbids17:12
kanzurewell, i'm exaggerating...... slightly.17:12
eleitlPity be on the fools that are in our light cone.17:12
kanzuremany of these important problems could have been solved >100 years ago with the right constraints and right approach17:13
kanzurei don't want to leave shit at the same state for the next hapless idiots that show up17:13
eleitlNo, modern medicine is barely there 1970s. And cryogenics is also about a century old.17:13
eleitlAnd any patient would not have survived WWII, because supply disruption.17:14
eleitlThis thing is barely 50 years old, and it might not well last another 50 years old.17:14
eleitlA single month of LN supply missed: total patient loss.17:15
kanzureactive supply is a dumb idea17:15
kanzureif you are on a 500k year cryoship journey then you don't have no active supply17:15
eleitlA patient fund is not based on a steady state nevermind contractiving economy: total patient losss.17:15
eleitlI agree with you on need to make cryogens on site, but this not done by anyone17:15
eleitlBecause, no need, and too expensive, and it has worked since the 1970s, so why should it break now?17:16
eleitlDitto financials.17:16
kanzureheh not a particularly long-term perspective, but whatever17:16
eleitlHad zero success there.17:16
eleitlA century would do. But you won't get a century.17:16
eudoxiait's funny how a project started by libertarians depends on the continued existence of fractional-reserve banking17:17
eleitlOr just a constantly growing economy.17:17
eudoxiamike darwin said, "a cryonics org should be able to weather a war that last centuries". so far none come close.17:17
kanzurethe *org*? hah17:17
eleitlBuilding institutions that last while the world changes is very hard.17:18
kanzurewhat good would an org do when you are 100 kilolightyears out?17:18
eleitlStorage is irrelevant if you can't be resuscitated.17:18
kanzureyes, i'm aware17:18
eudoxiakanzure: well, organizations are hard, but so are autonomous eternal cryobunkers / space vehicles17:19
eleitlSo just barely hangin on wouldn't do.17:19
kanzureeudoxia: eternal organizations seem harder :-)17:19
eudoxiaprobably17:19
eleitlIf after a century you're still hanging on, then probably you have no chances.17:20
kanzureeleitl: i was commenting in here the other day that all cryo trips into distant future should always involve a female and either a male or fertilization material, because it would suck in 10 million years to find a human coming out of storage but it's the last of its kind17:20
eleitlIf the world hasn't largely shrugged off our current problems by 2080, the patients are fucked.17:20
eleitlThe resuscitation procedure doesn't involve a warmup, so it doesn't matter what kind of primat in which shape is in there.17:21
eleitlprimate17:21
kanzureperhaps17:22
eleitlIf cryonicists knew what kind of world awaits them in case of successful resuscitation, they likely be scared shitless.17:22
eleitlAnything less can't possibly "revive" them.17:23
eleitlI don't mind, I like to be scared.17:23
kanzurehmm, i would rather have something that works on its own, rather than relying on future entities17:24
eleitlToo bad. We currently can barely make you fit to take that journey.17:24
eleitlIt sucks to rely on future people, but if you fail it won't hurt one bit.17:24
kanzuremy plans are slightly different17:24
eleitlNot dying?17:25
kanzureno, i mean my plans regarding whether i want to rely on future magic people to fix my mistakes17:26
eleitlThere is a tendency to be arbitrarily sloppy today, because our friends in the future17:27
eleitlBut a low-tech society of the future is entirely useless, even if your environment is self-contained.17:28
eleitlSo you have to do due diligence, but also rely on people on the future to be there, and having enough clue.17:28
eleitlIf not, you can just stick with embalming. Or mummification.17:29
eleitlRight now I think the people of the future will suck, but what do I know.17:29
eudoxiaregarding embalming, some years ago darwin wrote a new cryonet post about embalming, and said he was working on a longer blog post about the embalming process used on eva peron. that didn't happen though.17:29
eleitlLast time he worked on sugar-based preservation, I think.17:31
eleitlIn case anything came out of it it has been lost in the fire.17:31
eudoxiai didn't know his place caught fire17:31
eudoxiathat's terrible17:32
eleitlI have problems with alternative to cryopreservation, though it kinda works for desiccation-resistant anhydrobiosis.17:32
eudoxiafrom the few pictures i saw of the inside of his home it was like a cryonics museum17:32
eleitlPretty much total loss.17:32
eleitlYes, very terrible.17:32
eleitlHe worked on digitizing, but it wasn't much.17:33
eleitlIf ever you think you're too paranoid in regards to backups: you're probably not paranoid enough.17:33
eleitlAnyways, time to hit the matress.17:34
eleitlGood night, you bright shiny people.17:34
* eudoxia has been slacking on his backups17:34
eudoxiagood nihgt17:34

dingoahh i can sole the time-series easily, just a variable-gradient legend of the same color hues, with markers indicating time17:39
