| mcleodx | Hi Archels, this is the first time I've used IRC, just checking I'd connected properly | 04:57 |
| archels | everything seems to be working | 04:58 |
| archels | what client are you using? | 04:58 |
| mcleodx | Good News, Freenode | 04:58 |
| archels | no, that's the IRC network that you are connected to | 04:58 |
| mcleodx | Oh the client, Limechat | 04:58 |
| mcleodx | IOS | 04:58 |
| archels | alright, I don't know it | 04:58 |
| archels | logs for this channel are in the topic by the way—if you were to use a shell account to connect you would always get backlogs of past conversation | 04:59 |
| mcleodx | No worries seems good. | 04:59 |
| archels | kanzure: what did you mean by this? < kanzure> it doesn't make sense to directly work with your main processes | 05:00 |
| mcleodx | @archels I'd actually been directed here from a guy in a slack.com group for Transhumanism chat | 05:01 |
| mcleodx | I was looking for a group that are a bit more pragmatic in their approach to h+ | 05:03 |
| mcleodx | There's a lot of chat that happens there which is very random/trivial | 05:03 |

| kanzure | archels: i mean that if you were a working software emulation of human brain matter, there's no reason to have a "single threaded" persona that is interacting with virtual environments. "location" isn't an entirely relevant concept (although caching and load times and processing times are relevant concepts). | 08:54 |
| archels | you're always going to be interacting with *some* simulated environment | 08:56 |
| archels | I don't think it's such a clear-cut case | 08:56 |
| archels | if I'm Bob's mindclone from 2 minutes ago, having solved some problem and having committed my results, maybe I wouldn't like to be terminated | 08:57 |
| kanzure | right, so about that.... "mindclones" are going to be computationally infeasible due to resource requirements at first. i mean, we are still taking multiple days to run simulations of a few microseconds of neural firing. | 08:58 |
| kanzure | all of this is going to be extremely resource constrained | 08:58 |
| kanzure | i also suspect there will be lots of competition for computing resources, probably going to the highest payers | 08:59 |
| kanzure | oops i shouldn't say "computationally infeasible" i should say "economically infeasible" | 09:00 |
| kanzure | even with continued reductions in computing prices, i think that there is almost always going to be high demand to run certain more economically profitable algorithms. | 09:02 |
| kanzure | i'm not entirely convinced that people are going to spin up entire auditory cortex simulations to appreciate millions of hours of robo-mozart or whatever. | 09:02 |

| maaku | kanzure: while you speak the truth, it is a hard sell. what do we appreciate in mozart in the first place? other than abstract respect, the enjoyment itself is a result of our inefficient, bizarre sensory apparatus | 09:34 |
| maaku | we'll have to emulate those sense to appreciate historical human works of art, or to engage in the still-living subculture of retro art | 09:36 |
| maaku | but i'm sure that most people and artists wlil have moved on to using and appreciating less wasteful senses | 09:36 |
| maaku | people will see that as losing humanity though, hence the hard sell | 09:37 |

| kanzure | maaku: they invited me under the pretense of bitcoin stuff but they seem OK with me using the opportunity to let fenn harass neil gershenfeld and ed boyden and the other nutjobs there | 09:45 |
| nmz787_i | is there a artificial general intelligence thing on the internet that I could ask something like: what is a unique descriptive word for each of the following wordlists [ohm, farad, volt] [kilo, mega, pico, nano] | 09:45 |
| kanzure | uh... wordnet? but it's not agi. | 09:45 |
| nmz787_i | (I called the former scientific units, the latter SI units... but I'm not sure that's right) | 09:45 |
| nmz787_i | how does wordnet work? | 09:47 |
| nmz787_i | I searched kilo and it gave some uninteresting result | 09:47 |
| nmz787_i | oh, wrong search page | 09:48 |
| kanzure | wordnet works by converting thousands of hours of grad student life force into finely grinded pellets of language knowledge for general consumption | 09:48 |
| maaku | nmz787_i: google had something similar http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2011/08/google-sets-will-be-shut-down.html | 09:48 |
| maaku | that's not an agi problem | 09:48 |
| archels | kanzure: I'm really glad to hear you say that, everyone seems to think that resources (and in particular, computation) will just come for free | 09:51 |
| kanzure | perhaps if emulation algorithm stuff turns out to be costless to implement....... but i see no evidence to believe tihs. | 09:51 |
| kanzure | *to run | 09:51 |
| maaku | kanzure: it would be much less costly with quantum computaiton | 09:52 |
| archels | apparently if you're running on a reversible computer, you cost almost no power to run | 09:53 |
| maaku | archels: as long as you're not doing anything interesting | 09:53 |
| archels | aren't reversible computers Turing complete though? | 09:55 |
| maaku | opentrons demoed at YC yesterday http://opentrons.com/ | 09:55 |
| archels | https://www.weizmann.ac.il/complex/tlusty/courses/InfoInBio/Papers/Bennett1973.pdf | 09:56 |
| archels | "The biosynthesis of messenger RNA is discussed as a physical example of reversible computation." | 09:56 |
| maaku | archels: memory isn't infintie. if you're doing anything adaptive or responsive to different environments then you need to be doing memory erasure, which is not reversible | 09:57 |
| archels | it might tradeoff storage complexity for reversibility though | 09:57 |

| kanzure | yep they have been around for a while now... delinquentme did his own version a few years ago. | 09:58 |
| kanzure | and before that, jcline did some silly reverse engineering work to get some tecan equipment to work | 09:59 |

| kanzure | nmz787_i: there's no way that "cloning and sequencing" is the bottleneck of dna synthesis :) | 10:59 |
| kanzure | anyway, having an alternative to yeast-based cloning is nice | 11:00 |
| kanzure | "Divide and Conquer (D&C), the quintessential recursive problem solving technique, is used in silico to divide the target DNA sequence to be constructed into fragments short enough to be synthesized by conventional oligo synthesis, albeit with errors (15); these oligos are synthesized and are recursively combined in vitro, forming target DNA molecules with roughly the same error rate as the source oligos; error-free parts of these ... | 11:00 |
| kanzure | ... molecules identified by cloning and sequencing are extracted and used as new, typically longer and more accurate inputs to another iteration of the recursive synthesis procedure" | 11:01 |
| kanzure | so... they are just using traditional oligonucleotide synthesis. yawn. | 11:01 |
| kanzure | i'm not convinced that biologists know what a bottleneck is supposed to be :) | 11:01 |
| nmz787_i | ah, hmm, thanks... when the abstract didn't sound interesting, and scanning briefly didn't yield anything seemingly interesting... I had my doubts there was anything interesting there | 11:13 |
| nmz787_i | (especially because I am thinking about coding stuff at the moment) | 11:13 |

| nmz787_i | hmm, so the small cells are about 200nm diameter... so 100nm radius... plugging that into volume of sphere, I get 4.19 million cubic nanometers | 14:59 |
| nmz787_i | so 473 genes, that's 8858 nm^3 per gene | 14:59 |

| kanzure | easy to select for cells with larger cell membrane volume | 15:00 |
| nmz787_i | i guess you could start peel a nanometer or two from the cell diameter, if you assume the membrane is 1nm thick | 15:01 |
| kanzure | and it is plausible that minor amounts of mutation over 473 genes can cause larger cell bodies to be constructed | 15:01 |

Samples from the prior over these sentence representations remarkably produce diverse and well-formed sentences through simple deterministic decoding. By examining paths through this latent space, we are able to generate coherent novel sentences that interpolate between known sentences. We present techniques for solving the difficult learning problem presented by this model, demonstrate ... | 19:19 |
