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 civil matter? Kim Dotcom was civil matter also and US managed to get him arrested so... [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 you mean cos of megauploads a legal entity? [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 yes but if you are called as a witness in a trial, they might bring you there by force [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]

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 they can also charge you of conspiring to help US citizens avoid taxes and such and whatever charges or charge you with money laundry [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]

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]

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 I've seen some tweets about the letter you received [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]

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]

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]

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]

asciilifeform me. [00:28]

asciilifeform not yet. [00:28]

mircea_popescu decimation obviously, lasers in the lights. [00:31]
mircea_popescu actually... you don't really need oculars for this [00:32]
mircea_popescu you could make a decent window. [00:32]
mircea_popescu this i think is a start-up idea right here, sell window + sensor kids for the aftermarket. [00:33]
pankkake I want sensor kids [00:33]
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]
kanzure sensor kids [00:33]
mircea_popescu kits omg [00:33]
decimation I think the angle here is that the "my startup life" folks in california want to jump directly to full automation. Why not mine the more easily achievable sensor augmentation market? [00:33]
mircea_popescu decimation what do they know. [00:34]

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.

mircea_popescu "Go search deep for code (for sale) for online gambling sites. [02:36]
mircea_popescu The most expensive code packages for gambling sites have the most deceit and advanced algorithms to rip-off the gambling fool and protect the investment of the operator.

These algorithms always sit on top of whatever "edge" the operator decides to take (the "edge" is the part of the tilted table some sites even openly advertise nowadays). [02:36]

mircea_popescu anything can be taxed. [02:49]

mircea_popescu no. [02:50]

mircea_popescu it's roughly the coating in the pill, various people sprout it because you know, the slavegirl that aesthetically loves her collar isn't really as much of a slavegirl or something. [02:51]
ThickAsThieves do you have an argument against the IRS rulings or you think they are sensible? [02:51]
mircea_popescu but taxes have exactly zero to do with roads. [02:51]
mircea_popescu the irs can tax anything the fuck it pleases. the reaction to taxation you dislike is leaving the jurisdiction, not arguing the point. [02:51]

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]
MisterE I heard knc was not reliable and they have had a lot of delivery misses int he past? [04:40]
midnightmagic mikaeldi1e MiningBuddy mircea_popescu MisterE mixdio_ [04:40]
mircea_popescu MisterE not as bad as all that. [04:40]
MisterE ok [04:40]
tg2 They are probably one of the best right now [04:40]
MisterE they also mine so there is a conflict of interest iirc? [04:40]
tg2 Hashfast are clowns [04:40]
MisterE oh, perhaps I'm confused with another 3 letter mfgr? [04:40]
tg2 They assemble them out of house [04:40]
tg2 at a workshop 5 minutes from my office [04:41]
asciilifeform i've always wondered if folks interested in mining despite the negative ROI are really just looking to convert fiat to btc by whatever means possible. [04:41]
tg2 Yeah I think that's a way to look at it [04:41]
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]
tg2 shit even shoddy first gen sha fpga's are still being sold lol [04:42]
MisterE and generate transactions that help keep the network healthy [04:42]
mircea_popescu rational behaviour isn't exactly the rule. [04:42]
MisterE BTC still has a gold rush mentality that personally I dont think is doing speculators any favors [04:42]
asciilifeform think of it this way - some people are prepared to pay double, triple, the 'usual' cost for btc, so long as they aren't using an exchange [04:42]
asciilifeform esp. americans [04:42]
MisterE smart ones supply the miners and speculators [04:43]

mircea_popescu "large concerns" that thought they had access to the latest widgets expected to come out... november 2012 are mostly bankrupt today [04:45]

asciilifeform some people will spend 2K usd to get 1 btc, if it means they don't have to bend over for 'aml' crapola or trust someone [04:46]
mircea_popescu ahh, remember the days when am was derping about "having 30% of all hashing for a year" [04:46]

mircea_popescu unless they're taking a microscope to the box, who's to say what's in there ? [04:47]
asciilifeform think 'silk road' and 'why didn't they just go to the dark alley to buy the coke' [04:47]

asciilifeform from this crackpot theory, mining doesn't need to have much +EV so long as it isn't too far in the minus. [04:48]

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 so rare that extant examples are almost fascinating for reason of that rarity. [15:44]
ThickAsThieves i imagine dating in your 30s in 40s these days is pretty much all online websites now? [15:45]
chetty huh? Looks like more of those schools out there, just different rules [15:45]

mircea_popescu inching along towards the "putin doesn't give a shit about the way i think the world should work" [15:46]
