[cybaea] *write
[O_RLY] this is like an infomercial
[davidcrow] research release = beta 2.0
[gregbiggers] O_RLY-- i think its the other way around
[KevinMarks] Chris Locke used to work on Monkey brains
[BigD] they did all their research on Abby Normal's brain
[cybaea] O_RLY: They are a sponsor
[davidcrow] "I think so, Brain, but pants with horizontal stripes make me look chubby."
[O_RLY] ... and a bamboo steamer!
[cybaea] They need their pound of flesh
[laughing_squid] so when is he doing to do a card trick?
[schemish_] do I smell ponzi?
[O_RLY] pimp my brain
[cybaea] (our flesh)
[schemish_] ... ponzi scheme here?
[O_RLY] I'm pretty confident about it - understamenent of the conference
[--sborsch has quit ()
[jameshome] make the monkey do a card trick
[BigD] there's a guy here wearing horizontal corduroy pants
[ryanmcminn] where]
[jgoldman] chris locke has responded to kathy sierra's comments: http://www.rageboy.com/2007/03/re-kathy-sierras-allegations.html
[RemyDWD] Can HTM do support for itself?
[BigD] and he's a librarian
[gregbiggers] why didn't he do a real demo?
[leftist] @laughing_squid - i want to photograph you for lookingrealgood.com
[hcatlin] Is Chris Locke related to John Locke?
[O_RLY] because it can only recognize coffee ugs?
[jameshome] BUY MY BOOK
[O_RLY] does your software do anything useful?
[O_RLY] anything? bueller?
[cybaea] selling his book and his support?
[O_RLY] duh
[O_RLY] I feel dumber for attending this
[seanbonner] definitely time to go find coffee
[--tpierce has quit ()
[mediaserf] is this lunch now?
[--laughing_squid has quit ()
[O_RLY] i'm much easier to model now
[Endora] This was great! I'm looking forward to this afternoon's session from Jack Nicolson talking about his new fusion reactor.
*cybaea applauds that this is over
[gregbiggers] oh geez questions
[leftist] YAY
[KevinMarks] what about the amygdala?
[cybaea] One short presentation and then luch
[jscott] 6 layes at least
[jgoldman] Endora++
[jscott] maybe 7
[O_RLY] Endora++
[davidcrow] I want 39 layers
[schemish_] Endora ++
[cybaea] Amazon Lunch Services?
[jscott] flavors
[mediaserf] "The lines on my brain diagram say "DEFECTIVE" do I return it to you or the manufacturer?"
[seanbonner] "cock monkey"???
[gregbiggers] endora++
[tengi] endora++
[KevinMarks] a cortex without an amygdala never decides anything
[cybaea] dear God: Please no more questions. Please. I'll be good....
[RemyDWD] I double click my anygdala.

[leftist] Hello hell restaurant? I need a reservation for 300!
[jameshome] I'm glad it wasn't just me
[O_RLY] this talk is to brain science what my pants are to fashion
[davidcrow] I heard my cock monkey
[seanbonner] Someone ask him to do square root jokes

[O_RLY] "convergence factor" drink!
[seanbonner] Yes - coffee ] Zimba infomercial
[schemish_] this talk is to [ANY] science what ...
[leftist] I would not want to follow this blowhard
[ryanmcminn] I am gonna get some fresh air
[O_RLY] ok, so we can't do hierarchies or dynamic info

[leftist] everyone's brains are oxygen starved due to vapour
[O_RLY] someone please halt this problem
[cybaea] is it just me, or is the light here sleep-inducing?
[seanbonner] you know what I think is a good idea? Coffee.
[mediaserf] I'd cue the music but its stored on Amazon S3
[schemish_] NOOOOO more questions!!

[O_RLY] question: how do I get these bees out of my head?
[tengi] shiny happy neurons?
[tengi] not at the moment....
[davidcrow] ahhh, in episode 37 kirk asked the computer this, but you're saying that you're 4 layers is enough to make the warp field work, is that really possible?
[RemyDWD] Oh man
[KevinMarks] http://accordionguy.blogware.com/blog/_archives/2007/3/27/2839254.html
[Ewan_] Can these layers multitask as well as Palm OS?
[cybaea] shiny happy midget neurons
[O_RLY] artificial neural networks don't work. answer? baysian modeling! IT JUST WORKS, ASK ME HOW!!!1!!!
[RemyDWD] davidcrow's comment makes me want to go up and ask if HTM can understand love

[seanbonner] I think some coffee would help manufacture hapiness
[O_RLY] computer: compute ... to the last digit ... the value of pi!
[Ewan_] We don;t model nerons, but I can tell where they are - quantum mechanics anyone?
[huslage] ?help forget
[huslage] ?forget
[jibot] I need at least 3 words with an 'is' in the middle
[BigD] PLASTICS!
[O_RLY] question: how can I completely erase the experience of this talk from my memory?
[huslage] ?forget huslage is Director of Technology at http://www.platial.com

[schemish_] so that's the plan for new handheld: when (idle) { run HTM }
[--Aaron__F has quit (Connection timed out)
[cybaea] my brain is dying ....
[O_RLY] which step is this between 1) underpants and 3) profit?
[tengi] imagine a beowulf cluster of handhelds running HTM
[Ewan_] 2) Google Neural AdSense?
[davidcrow] O_RLY: 1. q-tip 2. Insert until there is pressure 3. Jam it in further 4. Giggle until complete
[cybaea] O_RLY: Her name is Melissa
[RemyDWD] O_RLY: Can HTM model what step 2 is?
[RemyDWD] That's the NP-completeness problem of our time
[O_RLY] double wedgie!
[KevinMarks] how many microLenats is he rating?

[gregbiggers] duh. its a neurological turk.
[tengi] cybea: ditto
[seanbonner] self awareness? Hasn't anyone ever heard of skynet??
[O_RLY] question: have you ever seen a grown man naked?
[tengi] s/cybea/cybaea/
[davidcrow] wet ware kernel panic
[Endora] I believe Turing used that test often.
[ikisai] gladiator movies are good, if done well, like any movie i guess
[jscott] better weapons
[BigD] i got here on the 163 South
[davidcrow] profits++
[O_RLY] 1) invent new theory of brain, 2) ??? 3) profit - except they skipped (1)
*cybaea likes profits
[Ewan_] It's going to go to the mystery third palm product!!!
[seanbonner] me would like to know more about these "profits"
[jameshome] I have a pretty good idea of where it's going to go
[cspurgeon] heh
