06:19 < hprmbridge> kanzure> "FRONT’s commitment to ethics and responsible development is paramount. The program will rely exclusively on adult-derived dedifferentiated stem cells." failed
06:20 < hprmbridge> kanzure> adhering to ethics means serving the customer, not complainers
06:20 < hprmbridge> kanzure> dedifferentiated stem cells are not pluripotent in the same way pluripotent stem cells are
06:20 < L29Ah> > beating the drum very loudly
06:20 < L29Ah> that is expensive
06:22 < L29Ah> so fenn did you buy a plane ticket to somalia yet
06:22 < fenn> are you gonna make me grep the logs
06:23 < L29Ah> or maybe to SDFland? those seem more decent
06:25 < fenn> you don't want pluripotent stem cells for brain regeneration; that's how you get balls of hair and teeth in your brain
06:27 < fenn> L29Ah: ok i give up. if you want to communicate you'll have to say plainly what you mean

06:31 < AugustaAva> ​twitter: <drmichaellevin> I'm constantly irritated that I don't have time to read the torrent of cool papers coming faster and faster from amazing people in relevant fields.  Other scientists have the same issue and have no time to read most of my lengthy conceptual papers either.  So whom are we writing
06:33 < L29Ah> fenn: kanzure said you needed to do illegal frontier things, i used my technological knowledge and my magic meatball and it said you need a plane ticket
06:33 < L29Ah> don't make me grep them logs!!
06:35 < hprmbridge> kanzure> are you able to actually conduct commerce and have private property in Somalia? I don't know either way.
06:36 < fenn> yes but the opportunities are limited and the infrastructure is inadequate
06:36 < L29Ah> i'm not, but in general there's marget economy according to a couple of brave russian explorers
06:36 < hprmbridge> kanzure> the frontier has always been illegal

10:20 < kanzure> hmph
10:51 < hprmbridge> alonzoc> I'm considering doing some tinkering with compliant mechanisms,  anyone got any advice in choosing a 3D printer these days? I'd probably want one with an enclosure for fumes given my small flat with low ventilation, and  hackability would be another desirable feature.
10:52 < L29Ah> grab a prusa clone or voron
11:07 < hprmbridge> alonzoc> Oof the voron 2.4 is a tad pricy, some of the less impressive models seem doable tho
11:27 < hprmbridge> Katylase> hi friends! how are you doing?

14:57 < hprmbridge> kanzure> a discussion about lack of bioweapons development https://www.reddit.com/r/labrats/s/p31euki41Q mostly it seems to be people making excuses for why it's not done, instead of trying to make bioweapons
15:02 < L29Ah> is this some sort of prompt hacking on meatbags?
15:11 < L29Ah> my favorite is "people who want lots of people dead indiscriminately are poor enough social predictors that they don't end up with enough capabilities to do things, and the technology is beyond the capability of a lone caveman or a petty criminal"

17:19 < fenn> this is all very sus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Edwards_Ivins
17:27 < fenn> clearly the anthrax came from a flask that Ivins had access to, and maybe he was involved somehow, but this doesn't mean he actually was the one to create and distribute the spores
17:28 < fenn> waking up fully clothed and with memory loss sounds like a classic CIA encounter trope

17:57 < fenn> April 3, 2000. "Occasionally I get this tingling that goes down both arms. At the same time I get a bit dizzy and get this undefinable "metallic" taste in my mouth. (I'm not trying to be funny ... it actually scares me a bit.) Other times it's like I'm not only sitting at my desk doing work, I'm also a few feet away watching me do it. There's nothing like living in both the first person singular
17:57 < fenn> AND the third person singular!"
18:18 < hprmbridge> Eli> Yeah, one of his coworkers said it would literally have been impossible for him to do the terrorism. It’s an interesting case. The fbi was using him as a consultant on how to track down whoever sent the letters. Then they said he was the letter sender. The DOJ also killed 70 people at Waco on international tv, investigated themselves, and found nothing wrong. Their track record is spotty. We may
18:18 < hprmbridge> Eli> never know the full story.
18:52 < fenn> "investigators recovered from his trash a piece of paper in Dr. Ivins's handwriting containing two previously unknown email addressess along with their passwords" how very convenient
19:02 < fenn> his alleged obsession with killing "the mole" is also very interesting
19:25 < fenn> oh shit this is related to angela atwood, patty hearst, symbionese liberation army which is also possibly a CIA mind control op

19:26 < fenn> "jimmyflathead" is allegedly one of ivins' handles https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk%3AKappa_Kappa_Gamma/Archive_2

22:51 < fenn> is there a version of this where you just type like using a qwerty keyboard?
