asciilifeform | one of the reasons why the 'DIY' bio instrumentation stuff is obscure is that ebay exists | [00:00] |
asciilifeform | and very serviceable surplus tech can be had by anyone | [00:00] |
asciilifeform | for pennies on the dollar | [00:00] |
asciilifeform | it is interesting to see the 'market' price of various things vs. the 'we buy it with u.s. tax dollars' price | [00:00] |
kanzure | last i looked the synthesizers bottom out on ebay at $400-$700 "maybe working" | [00:01] |
asciilifeform | much easier to fix a dead merrifield or whatnot than build all of civilization from raw materials | [00:01] |
kanzure | and ~$2k for "probably working" and $50k for "sorta new, or exactly new, except we know that nobody is building this crap anymore so we're not going to lie to you" | [00:01] |
asciilifeform | granted, 'fix' sometimes involves tearing out the electronics | [00:02] |
kanzure | do you know of any synthesizer manufacturers that still exist? i'm aware of the refurb shops | [00:02] |
* | dirt_ has quit (Ping timeout: 255 seconds) | [00:02] |
kanzure | ABI etc got swallowed up and cancelled their manufacturing | [00:02] |
asciilifeform | i've been out of the business for some years, unfortunately. | [00:02] |
kanzure | nah it's good to get out of that uh.. industry. | [00:03] |
mircea_popescu | kasa32 you must have missed the part where i told you this is a civil matter. | [00:03] |
Jezzz | .r | [00:03] |
ozbot | Bitstamp | Buy: $500.00 | [00:03] |
ozbot | Coinbase | Buy: $503.41 | [00:03] |
kanzure | asciilifeform: so if you know mike then how do you know me | [00:03] |
mircea_popescu | kanzure so what are you actually trying to make ? | [00:04] |
asciilifeform | kanzure: he introduced me to some of your works. | [00:04] |
asciilifeform | long ago. | [00:04] |
kanzure | asciilifeform: what is he doing? | [00:04] |
kanzure | mircea_popescu: trouble? mostly software at the moment https://github.com/kanzure | [00:04] |
asciilifeform | kanzure: last i spoke with him, he burned out and became a programmer! | [00:04] |
kanzure | oh good, yeah he was okay at that | [00:04] |
asciilifeform | doing some sort of dreary web crap | [00:04] |
kanzure | oh | [00:04] |
asciilifeform | to eat. | [00:05] |
kasa32 | [00:05] | |
mircea_popescu | kanzure no no, with the 10micron channels and other stupid hard problems | [00:05] |
kanzure | mircea_popescu: i had a colleague on that project and he's still convinced that microfluidics is the way to go, so he's still working on that in portland | [00:05] |
* | kermit has quit (Quit: Leaving.) | [00:05] |
benkay | is he involved in the low-g stuff as well? | [00:06] |
asciilifeform | kanzure: ever work with 'tecan corp.' xyz robot? | [00:06] |
mircea_popescu | kasa32 you have many distinct categories all confused up here. | [00:06] |
kanzure | asciilifeform: i've poked at tecan things. in particular i was playing with jcline's perl library for tecan control. | [00:06] |
mircea_popescu | kanzure ok, but the way to go WHERE | [00:06] |
kanzure | benkay: not that i know of | [00:06] |
kasa32 | [00:06] | |
* | kermit (unknown@pdpc/supporter/bronze/kermit) has joined #bitcoin-assets | [00:07] |
kanzure | mircea_popescu: dna synthesis | [00:07] |
asciilifeform | kanzure: i actually spent 2 yrs. writing a total replacement for the idiot software stack those things came with. | [00:07] |
mircea_popescu | kasa32 i mean because there's no such thing as an arrest in civil proceedings, and i never heard of an arrested witness yet and so on and so forth. | [00:07] |
mircea_popescu | kanzure ok but to make what ? | [00:07] |
kanzure | asciilifeform: to sell back to tecan? | [00:07] |
tg2 | mircea_popescu: what is mpex's SEC analogue | [00:07] |
asciilifeform | kanzure: tried to! even landed a conference with them. guess how it went. | [00:07] |
mircea_popescu | tg2 exact analogue does not exist. | [00:07] |
kanzure | mircea_popescu: all sorts of things. it's a basic requirement for conducting almost any interesting molecular biology project ever. | [00:08] |
asciilifeform | kanzure: 'what do you mean it doesn't run on top of our winblows stack' | [00:08] |
bounce | nor should it, probably | [00:08] |
mircea_popescu | kanzure which is why i am trying to get a specific out of you. | [00:08] |
tg2 | You should create mpsec | [00:08] |
mircea_popescu | bounce i guess not. | [00:08] |
tg2 | And issue requests for information to the SEC | [00:08] |
tg2 | Lol | [00:08] |
kasa32 | [00:08] | |
kanzure | mircea_popescu: i don't have a specific project in mind, and if i did, i would just buy the dna from a synthesis company. | [00:08] |
* | velacreations (432fc495@gateway/web/freenode/ip.67.47.196.149) has joined #bitcoin-assets | [00:08] |
mircea_popescu | tg2 i'd rather build organically on proved-to-work infrastructure developed in small steps | [00:08] |
mircea_popescu | than go all out with idiocy that'll never work a la us congress. | [00:08] |
kasa32 | to testify | [00:08] |
bounce | they're chasing an idea of "fairness" that's a poor fit to fiat, possibly worse for bitcoin | [00:08] |
asciilifeform | kanzure: it's still theoretically for sale. number of takers: zero. | [00:08] |
kanzure | asciilifeform: well, you could always sell it to someone else i guess | [00:09] |
kanzure | asciilifeform: or open source it | [00:09] |
asciilifeform | kanzure: mandatory spam: http://www.molboxllc.com/products.html | [00:09] |
mircea_popescu | bounce i don't think that discussion is yet ripe. so far they've prosecuted one guy. | [00:09] |
mircea_popescu | there's a thousand to go that i and anyone else with a shred of sanity left would readily agree are prosecutable | [00:09] |
mircea_popescu | once done with that pile it may be sensible to examine wtf is what. | [00:09] |
kanzure | asciilifeform: cool. let me bounce some ideas around in my head. i might be aware of some opportunities (nobody that would want to outright buy this, but.. stuff that is happening.) | [00:10] |
asciilifeform | kanzure: what's interesting is that virtually everyone who owns one of those machines has a grad student wretch supervising it's stumblings in perso | [00:10] |
asciilifeform | n | [00:10] |
bounce | possibly. there's also them being wilfully ignorant, even impotent, in eg. the flash crash thing | [00:10] |
kanzure | asciilifeform: do you know the transcriptic.com people? | [00:10] |
mircea_popescu | bounce the curse of regulators, in all times and places, is that they can't afford to hire the sort of brainpower they need. | [00:10] |
asciilifeform | kanzure: nope | [00:10] |
mircea_popescu | which is why mpex is really such manna from heavens. | [00:10] |
kasa32 | [00:10] | |
kasa32 | it's not like they haven't done this before | [00:11] |
mircea_popescu | kasa32 are we trying to write a block buster movie script here ? | [00:11] |
asciilifeform | amazing how $300K machine comes with visual basic turd that often physically destroys the enclosure when the thing boots (carriages get sent to the axis limits, because $300K apparently doesn't buy you limit switches...) | [00:11] |
assbot | AMAZING COMPANY! | [00:11] |
kasa32 | I'm just saying you need to be careful and prepare yourself | [00:11] |
mircea_popescu | asciilifeform just add a bit of plastic foam!!! | [00:11] |
kasa32 | it might happen | [00:11] |
mircea_popescu | asciilifeform do you know the story of the irradiation accidents with medical equipment cause of this problem ? | [00:12] |
mircea_popescu | (comp took out some plastic stoppers to save on costs) | [00:12] |
asciilifeform | mircea_popescu: 'therac-25' | [00:12] |
mircea_popescu | aye | [00:12] |
bounce | well, though this is a dangerous suggestion, might look at some sort of theoretical underpinning of why regulating, with what overarching goal if you will. I don't really see them do more than plug holes that may or may not exist | [00:12] |
kasa32 | take all precautions and such | [00:12] |
asciilifeform | mircea_popescu: in our case it was a gurl holding a fist over 'big red button' | [00:12] |
asciilifeform | rather than foam | [00:12] |
mircea_popescu | kasa32 your sentiment is appreciated, but had you heard of me before last week ? | [00:12] |
kanzure | asciilifeform: so did you reverse engineer the tecan protocol or did you just buy their sdk or what? | [00:12] |
asciilifeform | reversed 100%. | [00:12] |
kanzure | ok | [00:12] |
bounce | though an environment where a lot of what's being done in fiat is flat out impossible is a good dampener already | [00:12] |
asciilifeform | and all of the other instruments that were to be used with the damn thing | [00:13] |
mircea_popescu | bounce a lot more thought will have to be poured into those things | [00:13] |
asciilifeform | idea was to get rid of the wretches hand-carrying samples to/from instruments | [00:13] |
assbot | [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 6932 @ 0.00095519 = 6.6214 BTC [+] {2} | [00:13] |
asciilifeform | because wtf is the point of a robot then | [00:13] |
mircea_popescu | kanzure clearly stan has too much time on his hands. | [00:13] |
asciilifeform | had. | [00:13] |
bounce | by people with suitable detachment as ooposed to the usual driven to do good type | [00:13] |
kanzure | you're talking to the guy who reverse engineered pokemon red and crystal | [00:13] |
mircea_popescu | had. | [00:13] |
kanzure | so.. if anything, don't talk to me about time. | [00:13] |
bounce | s/oop/opp/ | [00:13] |
mircea_popescu | bounce in general it's been my experiences that only committees that include at least one asshole yield anything usable. | [00:14] |
asciilifeform | kanzure: in my spam flick, you can see the bugger stuff a plate in a non-bot-enabled plate reader | [00:14] |
asciilifeform | etc | [00:14] |
bounce | heh | [00:14] |
kanzure | "oh a few hundred thousand lines of terrible, shitty z80 asm? why of course i'll reverse engineer that!" https://github.com/kanzure/pokecrystal | [00:14] |
benkay | without assholes on the committee, how can you even know the members are human? | [00:14] |
bounce | you've been training for that, haven't you? | [00:15] |
kanzure | without assholes, how would you know we're human? | [00:15] |
benkay | no asshole, not human. | [00:15] |
bounce | apropos therac-25, that was that thing that only pooped out cryptic numbers to be looked up into large books of errors? | [00:15] |

asciilifeform | 'you are what you pretend to be, so be careful what you pretend to be.' | [00:16] |
mircea_popescu | asciilifeform if that worked bitcoin would be full of ceos, venture capitalists and other peaks of intellectual achievement. | [00:16] |
kanzure | asciilifeform: every time venter announces another $40M genome i just laugh | [00:16] |
bounce | in a way the habitually ignored overly verbose blatter found in intrusive popups on desktops today is the other extreme... with the same effect | [00:17] |
kasa32 | [00:17] | |
bounce | s/tt/th/ | [00:17] |
asciilifeform | funny how my father actually spent a good deal of life doing the same (reversing western consumer junk for the soviet market) | [00:17] |
kanzure | asciilifeform: if i had to pay $40M for every completely custom genome, pfft | [00:17] |
kanzure | asciilifeform: are you the p90 guy | [00:17] |
andyfletcher | looks like the pdf was wrong in the SEC assertion that handing over the data wasn't against EU data protection regs. MEMO/13/923 and MEMO/14/60 which were approved by the EU Parliament on 2014/03/14 refer to 'all natural persons'. Not just EU citizens. | [00:17] |
asciilifeform | p90? | [00:17] |
mircea_popescu | kasa32 yeah. well... i've been here preparing things for many years so far. | [00:17] |

asciilifeform | kanzure: we're still just as far from a 'human price' svga ocular as we were in 1990. | [00:20] |
kanzure | asciilifeform: (this was a few years ago, so no glass comments etc) | [00:20] |
Apocalyptic | [00:20] | |
asciilifeform | 'glass' is barely vga. | [00:20] |
kanzure | Apocalyptic: at least 100 hours | [00:20] |

Apocalyptic | that's not much | [00:21] |
kanzure | i guess not, no | [00:21] |
kanzure | but the upper bound is probably 2000 | [00:21] |
mircea_popescu | andyfletcher anyway, you should get a cookie for being the first commentator of the matter to have spotted it. somehow the press covered it extensively but failed to notice stuff like that. | [00:21] |
mircea_popescu | perhaps because the press isn't very well equipped to report these days. | [00:21] |

asciilifeform | if you want an ocular for something other than viewing porn on airplanes | [00:22] |
andyfletcher | /me is happy to wave a finger in the direction of the SEC and say "Not allowed" | [00:22] |
asciilifeform | razor-sharp monochrome, with square pixels | [00:22] |
mircea_popescu | who the fuck wants to view porn on airplanes. so you get yourself all good and ready and then what ? ask the stewardess to draw the curtain and the girls to drop the tops ? | [00:22] |
asciilifeform | (the 'movie'-grade displays have staggered rgb, like the cheap camera viewfinders which... they are) | [00:22] |

mike_c | asciilifeform: new oculus is 960x1080 per eye. that beats svga :) | [00:24] |
asciilifeform | square pixel grid? | [00:24] |
asciilifeform | because if not, go and try reading text | [00:24] |

asciilifeform | so, patent trolls. | [00:25] |
mike_c | well, i assume not square pixels since there's a lens right in front of your eye. | [00:25] |
decimation | That 'therac-25' incident is interesting, thanks for the tip. If you are making a 'firmware interlock' for a radiation machine, I would think you would at least make it in TTL or on an FPGA or something. | [00:25] |
mircea_popescu | mike_c he knows what he's asking. you can't really read on the things | [00:25] |
kanzure | asciilifeform: does yours still work? | [00:25] |
asciilifeform | square in the sense of not being staggered rows (optimized for film) | [00:26] |

mircea_popescu | me | [00:28] |
mircea_popescu | for instance, i'd like a measurement overlay. | [00:28] |
asciilifeform | me. | [00:28] |
asciilifeform | but not 100M wankers. | [00:28] |
asciilifeform | not yet. | [00:28] |
mike_c | well, overlays would be more of a see-through augmentation thing, not a closed off VR experience, no? | [00:28] |
mircea_popescu | decimation the insulting part is they're dropping the optical viewfinder ;/ | [00:28] |
asciilifeform | think of what a terrific waste a non-ocular display is, for a fellow working alone | [00:29] |

mircea_popescu | i save on heat! | [00:30] |
asciilifeform | personally i'm less concerned with wattage than space | [00:30] |
asciilifeform | living in a flat | [00:30] |
mircea_popescu | so move out of the sticks. | [00:30] |
mircea_popescu | do you know what 5k sq feet of floor space + garages cost in a SANE PART of the world ? | [00:30] |
kanzure | no? | [00:30] |
decimation | I think a competent driver with a good measurement overlay coupled with a radar/laser rangefinder would be more safe in a variety of conditions | [00:30] |

mircea_popescu | decimation absolutely. | [00:31] |
kanzure | i've never paid for a speeding ticket | [00:31] |
mircea_popescu | good laser you can drive in fog. | [00:31] |
decimation | that's clearly an application for high resolution optic viewers | [00:31] |
mircea_popescu | kanzure stop sucking and go get a speeding ticket. | [00:31] |
kanzure | mircea_popescu: yeah, i should | [00:31] |
decimation | ideally you have car-mounted sensors without any blockage from the columns in the vehicle | [00:31] |
mircea_popescu | decimation obviously, lasers in the lights. | [00:31] |

mircea_popescu | people would be all over your shit. 100mn of them too, because nothing gets a guy off quite like having the girl that's about to give him a blowjob think he's batman | [00:33] |

mircea_popescu | JERRY: I don't even want to talk about it anymore. What were you thinking? What was going on in your mind? Artistic integrity? Where, where did you come up with that? You're not artistic and you have no integrity. You know you really need some help. A regular psychiatrist couldn't even help you. You need to go to like Vienna or something. You know what I mean? You need to get involved at the University level. Like wher | [00:55] |
mircea_popescu | e Freud studied and have all those people looking at you and checking up on you. That's the kind of help you need. Not the once a week for eighty bucks. No. You need a team. A team of psychiatrists working round the clock thinking about you, having conferences, observing you, like the way they did with the Elephant Man. That's what I'm talking about because that's the only way you're going to get better. | [00:55] |

asciilifeform | one could make an arbitrarily hardware-unfriendly 'hash' using automata, merely by demanding a large and well-entropic (crypto hash of payload, bit-spread) playing field | [04:01] |

asciilifeform | output is an integer, N | [04:12] |
mircea_popescu | ;;later tell benkay "One cannot issue ratings until one is rated oneself. This is a useful feature that prevents a lot of misuse of the system. If scammers cannot stuff the WoT database with their sockpuppets, they cannot artificially inflate their ratings. Granted, the mechanism is weak and easily gamed, but the simple presence of a barrier reduces much malfeasance." this made no sense. you know it made no sense. why | [04:12] |

mircea_popescu | in fact! | [04:13] |
mircea_popescu | you can have difficulty scale as... the size of the field. | [04:13] |

asciilifeform | well yes. | [04:14] |

mircea_popescu | yeah, i think the lowest would be 3 ? or 5 ? | [04:16] |

asciilifeform | so long as you use an automaton that has been proven turing-complete, and use a reasonably entropic starting field state, you're pretty much safe from shortcuts | [04:22] |
asciilifeform | and people are stuck having to compute the state transitions for the whole field, as many times as specified | [04:22] |
asciilifeform | unless p == np, rocks fall, crypto dies | [04:23] |

asciilifeform | 'Current/Next gen bitcoin/sha256 asics are already at the forefront of manufacturing process, they cannot get more power efficient without waiting for a new manufacturing process to be available (14nm)' << nah | [04:38] |
mircea_popescu | tg2 you realise people wouldn't build the ram as part of the asic do you ? | [04:38] |
asciilifeform | why brute force. it's like nobody gives a rat's arse enough to even try | [04:38] |
tg2 | They went for the "less ram faster latency" approach | [04:38] |
asciilifeform | hence 'lifecoin'. you're stuck with the RAM | [04:39] |
tg2 | I stand by my analysis though that it won't be near as prolific as sha256 | [04:39] |
mircea_popescu | nearly as prolific as bitcoin miners they will never be | [04:39] |
tg2 | Although knc sure is trying to prove me wrong lol | [04:39] |
MisterE | and won't depreciate so quickly like sha-256 2nd gen | [04:39] |
mircea_popescu | the reason, of course, is that bitcoin is worth three to four degrees of magnitude more. | [04:39] |

mircea_popescu | asciilifeform how about the people who "invest" despite negative roi ? | [04:41] |
tg2 | Don't forget gpu's hold some value | [04:41] |

pankkake | wait there are non-annoying women?! | [15:26] |
mircea_popescu | yeah! | [15:26] |
pankkake | that didn't use to be a man? | [15:26] |
mircea_popescu | see, if you dump them when they get 20 you're stuck with a bunch of annoying teens | [15:26] |

mircea_popescu | ThickAsThieves that's simple, "have your girls recommend" | [15:27] |
ThickAsThieves | my girls? | [15:28] |
ThickAsThieves | like exes? | [15:28] |

mircea_popescu | now to fully establish the other extreme, since nobody seems inclined, we return to scriptae : | [15:40] |
mircea_popescu | It's unfair to quote a 5 year old article but if Alone still believes _that_ analysis has validity...he's missed the forest of leeching for the victimized and disinterested trees. Many women invest their entire lives in what amounts to brazen fraud conducted and perfected to "catch" a guy who is then trapped with no idea how cruelly he's been setup. | [15:41] |
mircea_popescu | Guys lose interest. And women, who hated sex remember (they're not that type of girl), suddenly give the con away. It boils down to this; what are they bringing to the party? | [15:41] |
mircea_popescu | Emotional poison, lies, some shitty repetitive sex (I'll be more romantic when those who believe in the lie that is exclusivity eat the same meal for the rest of their lives), surrogate services, shitty cooking...It doesn't matter that I'm grossly making crude generalizations. I'm right. | [15:41] |
mircea_popescu | And the market agrees with me. Alone missed it. Porn is a better product. If girls want to compete maybe they should get real? Virtual honesty v Virtual Deceit? This is economics. No need for hysterics or water works or expressed feelings. Awwh. | [15:41] |
mircea_popescu | now THIS is self loathing. | [15:41] |

mircea_popescu | it's rare now. | [15:44] |
mircea_popescu | so rare that extant examples are almost fascinating for reason of that rarity. | [15:44] |
