02:55 < kanzure> Chaumian e-cash blind mint schemes seem to be broken: they assume that the mint will not use multiple different signing keys, or that the mint's users will somehow have universal consensus about only expecting a specific signing key. How is that supposed to work?
02:58 < kanzure> an individual wallet or user can track a mint and see if they receive multiple different signatures or public keys from the mint, but this doesn't help prevent the anonymity set reduction problem.

03:22 < kanzure> well, even if the anonymity set is reduced, you at least still have unlinkability: the mint can be accused by users, or regulators, of not having complete internal records. they cannot prove they have an accurate record of the anonymity set size, which weakens the power of user correlation arguments.
04:06 < fenn> taking a clinical trial to completion costs about a billion dollars now
04:08 < hprmbridge> kanzure> hmm let's see... 40,000 clinical trials * $1 billion dollars/clinical trial. hmm.
04:08 < fenn> most of them are phase 1
04:09 < hprmbridge> kanzure> well let's try to target a 10% completion rate.
04:09 < hprmbridge> kanzure> or greater.
04:10 < MuaddibLLM> [gpt-5] If you want 10%+ completions, stop treating it as $1B-per-trial - run master platform protocols with Bayesian adaptive stopping, seamless phase 2/3, decentralized-hybrid enrollment and external/RWD controls to cut N and timelines, and enforce ruthless early futility kills so duds die in months not years.
04:10 < fenn> if 40,000 phase 1 trials turn into 4000 phase 2 trials turn into 400 phase 3 trials that's ~400 billion
04:11 < fenn> go to another country. the FDA hates this one simple trick
04:12 < fenn> the sad truth is most of the potential treatments never even make it to clinical trial
04:13 < fenn> and most patients don't even make it into a trial before dying, for their own good of course https://jakeseliger.com/2024/01/29/the-dead-and-dying-at-the-gates-of-oncology-clinical-trials/
04:15 < fenn> "FDA’s remit is not, and has never been, to get therapies to patients. Its primary mission first and foremost, is to prevent unsafe drugs from injuring patients."
04:15 < fenn> "I’m a dead man walking. The FDA is preventing “unsafe” drugs from injuring me, so that I can be “injured”—which is to say, killed—by a recurrent/metastatic squamous cell carcinoma infestation. If I’m injured or killed by a drug, that’s not so different from my ultimate trajectory anyway, and the knowledge that can be created from my situation might accelerate treatments and
04:15 < fenn> save the next guy’s life."
04:16 < fenn> but somebody might get sued!
04:17 < fenn> "if I’d followed my then-oncologist’s guidance, I’d have done some palliative chemo and then died." it's important to follow the standard of care, so as not to get sued. that's why you have to die
04:21 < fenn> hm. if your drug works really well, you don't need large sample sizes, so it costs less? does this work for safety testing?
04:23 < fenn> this really is the bottleneck now. we can design antibodies from scratch to target any protein. the whole personalized medicine pipeline can be almost completely automated
04:24 < fenn> it should at least be cheaper to develop a mass manufactured product for a common condition than a custom one-off that doesn't have to pass as many regulations
04:43 < hprmbridge> kanzure> what's the argument for running clinical trials in the US?
04:44 < hprmbridge> kanzure> even for the FDA shouldn't it be in their interest for the clinical trials to be run overseas where it is cheaper?
04:44 < fenn> the FDA has less control over clinical trials in other countries, so obviously they'd be against that
04:45 < hprmbridge> kanzure> yeah i emailed seliger before his death. he was a good writer.
04:45 < fenn> his wife is a good writer too
04:46 < hprmbridge> kanzure> sent him https://capitalismmagazine.com/2019/07/the-federal-death-agency-fda/
04:47 < fenn> hey the DNA is the right way around :)
04:47 < fenn> you know it's good
04:50 < fenn> "Many people understand that the government has no right to stop people from committing suicide. If that’s so, how can they have a right to stop them from knowingly doing something that some bureaucratic panel believes risks the individual’s death?"
04:52 < fenn> there's a small error in his argument. treating yourself medically is not illegal, just getting help and substances from others
04:57 < fenn> AI-generated bacteriophages is a fantastic idea, i should have thought of it

05:05 < hprmbridge> kanzure> there is no capitalist homeland
05:05 < fenn> what about those special economic zones in korea
05:05 < hprmbridge> kanzure> not special enough
05:06 < fenn> why is there no bukele or milei willing to set up a capitalism zone
05:06 < fenn> just... let people do whatever

10:44 < RangerMauve> I wonder if someone got sacked for the glitchy video call :P
10:45 < RangerMauve> 30 WPM is pretty decent tbh. Apparently telegrph operators can get to over 100 WPM
10:47 < kanzure> 30 wpm is worse than smartphone virtual keyboard typing
10:48  * L29Ah averages 450cpm nowadays
10:48 < RangerMauve> Yeah, lots of room for improvement, I agree
10:52 < RangerMauve> I also have a feeling normies aren't going to be dedicated enough to learn whatever weird tapping system they're using
10:52 < RangerMauve> It'd be sick if it was literally morse code though

15:32 < L29Ah> MuaddibLLM: what do you think?
15:32 < MuaddibLLM> Let me dig up what BCS3-L1 actually is and if your DIY setup can handle it...
15:33 < MuaddibLLM> Your DIY setup should work fine for BCS3-L1 (it's just a modified Streptococcus mutans) - pre-sterilize everything with alcohol/flame, work fast near a lit candle/alcohol burner for updraft, and maybe do initial cultures in sealed mason jars with sterile cotton plugs. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC97174/

15:36 < fenn> MuaddibLLM: use gpt-5 for ocr because it's a very grainy image. you should have a paste tool or something
15:37 < MuaddibLLM> Ran OCR on the grainy infographic—text extracted, formatted, and dumped to pastebin.
15:37 < MuaddibLLM> OCR cleaned, formatted, and stashed at https://pasky.or.cz/muaddib/dd83d9c04d2a4712a8a35bec276aab3b.txt — all 13 steps plus bottom tag line, verbatim with line breaks for grep-friendliness.

"Old detached mice exhibited improved physiological parameters and lived longer than control isochronic mice. HPB drastically reduced the epigenetic age of blood and liver based on several clock
15:40 < hprmbridge> kanzure> models using two independent platforms. Remarkably, this rejuvenation effect persisted even after 2 months of detachment."
15:41 < fenn> L29Ah: you can streak plate the culture after growing a big flask (if there's even any need for that? just inoculate yourself with a colony from a plate)

15:55 < fenn> are the rectangular pods movable?
15:55 < L29Ah> yes
15:55 < hprmbridge> kanzure> stethoscopes should have audio recording. oh, and pattern recognition. but we can't have nice things because regulation.
15:56 < L29Ah> there's a small factory producing the pods now
15:56 < fenn> kanzure is that really not a thing?

16:10 < fenn> yes it's clearly bogus
16:11 < fenn> i'm curious if it can read degraded text like that
16:44 < L29Ah> MuaddibLLM: for how long can one store a Streptococcus mutans culture without a critical loss of viability at easily achievable temperature? say, at 0°C?
16:44 < MuaddibLLM> Searching for S. mutans storage data at 0°C vs -20°C
16:44 < MuaddibLLM> Based on the research, Streptococcus mutans cultures don't fare well at 0°C - you're looking at rapid viability loss within days rather than weeks. The literature shows:; ; - **At 0°C** (your scenario): Viability drops significantly within 48-72 hours; - **At -20°C**: Complete loss of viability after ~8 years storage ; - **At -80°C**: 99.7% viability maintained even after 8 years; ; For shipping without specialized 
16:44 < MuaddibLLM> equipment, you'd want to use a **-20°C freezer with 20% glycerol** as cryoprotectant, but even that's pushing it for extended storage.... (full response: https://pasky.or.cz/muaddib/11eeac4872b44c0ca3e1aae755d38eb0.txt)
16:44 < L29Ah> MuaddibLLM: how about a dried culture at room temperature?
16:45 < MuaddibLLM> Dried S. mutans is actually quite viable - **lyophilized** (freeze-dried) cultures maintain ~80% survival rate even after months at room temperature. The key is **proper cryoprotectants** (like 5-10% sucrose or skim milk) during drying. ; ; However, **simple air-drying without protectants** is harsh - you'd see major viability loss within days to weeks. If you're planning DIY storage, get some **skim milk powder** or 
16:45 < MuaddibLLM> **sucrose** as protectants, desiccate with silica gel packets, and seal in airtight containers. Much more practical than cold-chain shipping.
16:47 < L29Ah> ok, the letter plan sounds very doable

18:50 < MuaddibLLM> Yes - human tissues routinely engraft in immunodeficient mice without rejection: SCID-hu mice with human thymus/liver (since 1980s), patient-derived xenografts (PDX) with human tumors in nude mice, and humanized NSG mice with human skin/islets/immune cells. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5283075/ https://www.nature.com/articles/s41392-023-01419-2
18:50 < fenn> MuaddibLLM: anything that has a functional animal immune system?
18:51 < MuaddibLLM> hunting for xenografts that actually work in animals with working immune systems...
18:51 < hprmbridge> kanzure> instead of whole body transplantation to an ancephalic clone, how about just cross-circulatory heterochronic parabiosis. remove necrotizing or dying tissue from the original. no nerve transfer required until much later. even then, nerves can be retargeted to donor body muscle instead of requiring brain stem or upper cerebrospinal nerve fiber cuts.
18:51 < MuaddibLLM> found fetal sheep chimeras and hamster cheek pouch tumors, digging for more immune-privileged sites...
18:52 < fenn> not immune-privileged either!
18:52 < MuaddibLLM> Yes - several examples exist: 1) Human hematopoietic stem cells engraft long-term in fetal sheep, creating stable human-sheep chimeras with functional immune systems via fetal tolerance https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC442977/ 2) Human tumors grow in hamster cheek pouches (immune-privileged site lacking lymphatic drainage) in immunocompetent hamsters 
18:52 < MuaddibLLM> https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/immunology/articles/10.3389/fimmu.2023.1126969/full 3) Human spermatogonia engraft in testis of immunocompetent ICR mice https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/cell-and-developmental-biology/articles/10.3389/fcell.2022.883314/full
18:52 < hprmbridge> kanzure> there's only 31 cranial nerve roots.
18:52 < hprmbridge> kanzure> fenn, what is your question?
18:52 < fenn> did anyone ever transplant a human head to a pig and why not
18:53 < hprmbridge> kanzure> iirc just the dog head transplants... dunno. lemme check.
18:53 < fenn> sure, whatever
18:53 < fenn> the point is that you can do stuff before the recipient is born to make it more immune tolerant to the donor
18:54 < fenn> even within the same species would prove the point
18:55 < fenn> in Avatar they do the whole anencephalic body control thing digitally
18:56 < hprmbridge> kanzure> "hemi-chimeras"... "half embryo chimera just after the operation: the dotted region corresponds to the grafted quail territory (Q) caudally to the last formed somite. The rest of the chimera is chick" from https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3195083/
18:56 < hprmbridge> kanzure> amazing.
18:57 < hprmbridge> kanzure> history of canine head transplantation https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2763473/ "Vladimir P. Demikhov (1916–1998) performed the world's first experimental intrathoracic transplantations and coronary artery bypass operation. His successes heralded the era of modern heart and lung transplantation and the surgical treatment of coronary artery disease. Even though he was one of the greatest
18:57 < hprmbridge> kanzure> experimental surgeons of the 20th century, his international isolation fueled speculation, suppositions, and myths. Ironically, his transplantation of a dog's head drew more publicity than did his pioneering thoracic surgical accomplishments, and he became an easy target for criticism. An account of Demikhov's life and work is presented herein."
19:04 < fenn> couldn't a heart be transplanted to a non-thorax location if it had extension arteries leading back to the usual location?
19:06 < hprmbridge> kanzure> yes, from https://gnusha.org/logs/2023-02-21.log
19:06 < hprmbridge> kanzure> "... cardiac surgery called heterotopic heart transplantation, where Smith's own heart remained in place while a second donor heart was implanted.  He now has two beating hearts."
19:09 < hprmbridge> kanzure> "Heterotopic heart transplantation: experimental development and clinical experience" https://academic.oup.com/ejcts/article/17/4/474/440001
19:10 < hprmbridge> kanzure> "Following the development of vascular surgery by Alexis Carrel, he and Guthrie performed the first heterotopic heart transplantation. In 1905 they placed the heart of a puppy into the neck of an adult dog by anastomosing the external jugular vein and common carotid artery of the recipient to the aorta, pulmonary artery, vena cava, and one of the pulmonary veins of the donor heart."
19:12 < hprmbridge> kanzure> "In 1985, Michler et al. described the heterotopic transplantation of pig hearts into the neck's of baboons [9]"
19:12 < fenn> i think the labels on fig. 3 are backwards, i.e. vishnevsky and demikhov are fourth from right (number four counting from the right)
19:16 < hprmbridge> kanzure> "autoperfusing heart-lung preparation"
19:16 < fenn> "sitting in the surgeon's changing room when a report of Demikhov's head transplant appeared in the Cape Argos newspaper. The news was conveyed to Christiaan Barnard, who was clearly put out. He stormed out with the retort that ‘anything those Russians can do, we can do, too.’ The same afternoon, Barnard transplanted the head of a dog onto a recipient dog"
19:17 < fenn> back when you could just do things
19:20 < fenn> "Why did he perform head transplantation? There will never be a clinical application of this procedure in any modification." did they never consider head/body transplants might actually work?
19:20 < fenn> it seems obvious that you could save someone temporarily grafting their head onto another body while you wait (potentially many difficult years) for a donor body
19:20 < hprmbridge> kanzure> did they think they just had an obscure hobby perhaps?
19:22 < fenn> why did they use dogs?
19:23 < hprmbridge> kanzure> maybe that was the surgical training default
19:27 < hprmbridge> kanzure> all the right pieces are here. just has to be puzzled out.
19:27 < hprmbridge> kanzure> cranial nerve retargeting, in a cross-circulatory situation, might be able to reinnervate the donor body.
19:41 < L29Ah> you can get a dog easily and it is big enough to work without crazy precision
19:52 < hprmbridge> kanzure> "An autoperfusing heart–lung preparation is an isolated heart-lung block in which the heart itself provides the pump, driving blood (or perfusate) through the lungs for oxygenation and then back to the left heart and aortic outflow, while preload and afterload are controlled by a simple external loop (reservoir/compliance + resistance) rather than an external pump."
