What body Improvements are already availible to us?
So far I found
————-
1. Magnet in your finger
Insert a neodimuium magnet under you skin.
You will be able to feel magnetuc fields.
Costs: 200$ if you go to a professional doctor, 20$ and a bottle of vodka if you do it yourself at home.
Pros: You can easily percieve if a wire alternate current is cicrulating.
Cons: If you screw up the operation or it get infected AND you don't go to medic soon you can loose a finger. A MRI scan will tear the magnet from inside you.
—————
2. The North Paw
put a belt on your leg that vibrates towards north.
You will be able to insitnctively percieve that direction after soem time
http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/f358/Cost: 150$
Pros: You laways know where North is
Cons: The battery runs out eventualy. You have to wear it to have effect.
——–
3. Infrared Vision
https://experiment.com/projects/can-we-biologically-extend-the-range-of-human-vision-into-the-near-infraredYou eat for a month a diet vitamin A1 repalced with vitamin A2. ANd you begin te be abel to see near infrared.
Cost: estrapolating form the project around 100$ for a month diet.
Pros: you see better in dark palces.
Cons: to mantain the effects you have to stay on the diet (results about it are not yet publsihed)
——–
Any more similar hacks I missed?

Different MRIs + different settings make for different results. As a best practice they should be avoided regardless.
The magnet thing isn't really an issue from my understanding. Typically in scenarios where somebody has shrapnel imbedded in them they would just cover it with some sort of lead blanket.
The thing I would be worried about is if an impact would chip off a small piece of the magnet or if it ever downright shattered. Image that shit entering your bloodstream or if a piece you didn't know you had left in you came flying out during an MRI.

Assuming you could set up a perfect turbine in the bloodstream, you're putting significantly increased strain on the heart. That power isn't coming from nowhere. That means you're dropping years off your life, and putting yourself at risk of a heart attack - and what if you have a replacement heart?
And even then, you won't get shit for power compared to what you'd get solar. Not a fraction of what you'd actually need, ESPECIALLY for any kind of mechanical/moving implant.
And with that specific (fake) bit of jewelry, you're running into an incredible number of medical issues. Even Lepht, the fucked-in-the-head tranny biohacker, knows how bad transdermal stuff is - and not only is that shit transdermal, but it's taking blood out and passing it through a dangerously exposed environment where it will cool and come in contact with metal.

In the Soviet Ogonek, Georgi Blok describes a sensational exhibit at a recent meeting of the Moscow Surgical Society. On the platform close to the guests of honor stood a large white dog, wagging its tail. From one side of its neck protruded the head of a small brown puppy. As the surgeons watched, the puppy's head bit the nearest white ear. The white head snarled.
The two-headed dog, no freak of nature, was the latest product of Surgeon Vladimir Petrovich Demikhov, chief of the organ-transplanting laboratory of the Soviet Academy of Medical Sciences

>>19209I did say that having them outside the body is stupid. At the rate science is progressing in a few years increasing the power output of the heart shouldn't be a problem, we can already grow muscle fibers in a lab environment it's only a matter of time before we can successfully use those extra fibers to make the heart stronger. Sure one turbine is not enough, but many working together can surely at least charge a flashlight battery. And I never said that the turbines should be the only source of power, the biomechanical force form the movement of the legs and arms can be harvested as well. They dont have to actively supply power to the augs, just charge the battery.

let me put it to you this way:
- Neodymium is poisonous to the human body, and magnets are prone to breakage, or lining tears. You stand a high chance of post-surgery complications.
- Magnets weaken over time. You need to surgically replace your magnets periodically to maintain sensitivity. Thus, your implants are going to become useless and are not future-proof in the slightest.
- The only surgeries that you can get to implant these are done by back-alley body-modders with no anesthesia. Thus, good tech won't be produced for grinders, because it won't catch on compared to wearables.
If looking like an autist was something we really cared about as a society, we wouldn't have people pressing glass panes against their faces to make phone calls like we do now. These things change.
Wearables are the future, and you know it.

totally agree about the North Paw. A good analogy for it would be math: a compass is like a calculator, I'ts obviously the best option as it gives you exact results, but requires you to take it out and divert your attention to it. finding north by looking at the sun or moss is like the pen and paper method. You need extra knowledge and experience to use it, but the results aren't always accurate and it too requires your full attention. The North paw would be like doing mental math. you can get a rough estimate almost instantly, but also have the ability to expand upon it depending on how much of your attention you are willing to sacrifice.

The whole concept of "transcending humanity" is a bunch of bullshit that promotes social stratification and division of the classes. Social stratification IS pretty cyberpunk, but it's on the opposite side of the spectrum from the "punk" portion.

Lets humor the idea that there comes along a body modification that has a functional purpose that would improve quality of life similar to driving vehicles. And lets put public adoption and social stigma aside too, because who cares? (I don't.) Lets say it's not networked in any way as well so we can avoid talking about HIPAA or other types of compliance that would regulate distribution and creation of any implanted devices or the like.
So, with all of that out of the way, how the fuck are you going to afford it? How are you going to maintain it? How are you going to make sure your "mechanic" isn't ripping you off when you go to get your shit repaired? All of this shit requires brouzouf unless you are doing it yourself.
If you actually think this is something you will be able to just have done for you in the future then you need to get that golden spoon out of your mouth or your head out of your ass.

pro tip: we don't have to guess what happens when you put a finger magnet in an MRI because it's been done. And it's fucking nothing. Maybe some bruising but it won't rip it out of your skin.

It twinges a little bit if I push in a certain direction. Not sure if that's permanent or because it's not fully healed. With normal use it's not noticeable.
>Could you go rock climbing or whatever with it in?
I think so. The ideal placement is to the side so when you put weight on it it doesn't get pinched against the bone. Still there is always a chance it will break and I'll have to remove it.
>don't lose sensation or capability
For me sensation is completely normal, although I suppose there is a chance you could fuck something up digging around in there. For capability I'll have to wait a few months before passing judgment.

NFC locks can be bypassed with a simple radio sweep. It's a known trick to get into apartment buildings that use those fobs to open the door. When you get your locks set up make sure you have a defense against stuff like that. Maybe some kind of limit on failed attempts before locking down for a period of time. Also keep in mind that people can walk past you and copy the value stored on your tag, so you should have some kind of keypad or password lock paired with the RFID lock so people can't do that.

good link, but trying to get alien genes to "take hold" in your cells, even though an article says he did it, I think the way easier approach will be to take genes for some compound you want, like whatever that fatty omega acid is in fish, and shove that into yogurt microbes for example, so as they grow they put out that compound and you get better nutrition. Or, the show Mr Robot has a character growing yeast that fart out THC.

Of course, that'd mean either having a tumor inside you by choice, or having it outside your body for ease of control, which isn't much of a benefit over insulin pump therapy.

It would be very difficult to do that in the gut. You would need the microbes to produce just the right amount of insulin at the right time. A better idea might be an insulin pump with a bioreactor attached to it.

Anyone know where I could get an erythropoietin gene doping kit?
