katsmeow-afkit's an island, no? : http://www.wired.com/images/article/magazine/1702/mf_seasteading_f.jpg07:41
fennlooks like a guy in a trench coat07:42
fenni kid. don't they specify the dimensions and number of floors of the hotel thingy?07:43
katsmeow-afkwhat hotel ?07:43
fennthe one they are trying to build07:43
katsmeow-afkwhat are you talking about?07:44
katsmeow-afkoh,, the Seasteading Institute?07:45
katsmeow-afki dunno, i wasn't paying them any attention07:45
katsmeow-afkthat's not an island, and i was on the topic of islands07:45
fennthe picture is of patri friedman07:45
katsmeow-afkcorrect07:46
katsmeow-afkhttp://www.wired.com/techbiz/startups/magazine/17-02/mf_seasteading?currentPage=all07:46
katsmeow-afkmy research into ships tells me it's unlikely a mile sized floating platform can be built which will last 10 years07:47
katsmeow-afkin fact, building past 1000ft in any direction makes it quite fragile in the open ocean07:48
fenni can't seem to find a decent image of the hotel concept.. they had one that was professionally CAD'ed up07:48
fennanyway, what's this about islands?07:49
katsmeow-afkand, solidly tying a deck to the top of more than one spar, without a huge system of connections below the water, seems to be suicide07:49
fennhave you looked into the pneumatically stabilized platform concept?07:49
katsmeow-afk"island" is not well defined, there's loopholes07:50
katsmeow-afkyeas, i have07:50
fenni don't care about definitions so long as it works07:50
fennso why the 1000 ft limit?07:50
katsmeow-afkunless it's unreasonably flexable, it will break07:50
fennfirst of all, things become unreasonably flexible on 1000 ft length scales07:51
fennsecond, are there even waves of that wavelength?07:51
katsmeow-afkmodern ocean going cargo ships are so tightly designed, moving a bulkhead 2 inches in any direction is pretty much guaranteed to sink the ship07:51
fennthat's just stupidity07:52
katsmeow-afksometimes, it's not a single wave that causes the breakup, but fatigue07:52
fenni don't pretend to know the fatigue limit of reinforced concrete but i know it's greater than zero07:53
kanzurecan you get a ref on that 2 inch thing?07:54
kanzure2 inch tolerance I mean07:54
katsmeow-afksometimes stupidity,, a ship sank a few yrs ago, it had recently been lengthened 15 meters, but when reassembled, all the welds were in one line around the boat, and that's where it broke in two07:54
katsmeow-afkkanzure, yeas07:54
kanzurethanks :)07:54
katsmeow-afkmight take 10 minutes...........07:55
* kanzure doesn't think boats are designed to be lengthened07:55

katsmeow-afkhttp://www.shipstructure.org/case_studies/carla/07:58
fennwhy would you design a boat to sink even if it did break in half?07:58
fenni mean seriously, how hard is it to keep storage cells from flooding07:58
katsmeow-afkthey didn't put me in charge, i dunno07:58
kanzurearen't ship designers usually "architectural engineers" ?07:59
katsmeow-afki hope not,, but that wold explain why so many ships break upand sink08:00
fennhuh i guess it stayed afloat for five days08:00
katsmeow-afkthe Prestige oil tanker also stayed afloat days, but sank lower and lower, and hogging effects eventually broke it up and sank it08:01
kanzurefenn: minsky says it wants a system restart08:01
fennbecuase i installed a new kernel08:01
kanzurehm why didn't you install OCC.GEOMImpl ?08:01
fenneh?08:02
katsmeow-afkthat was in 200208:02
fennis that salome?08:02
kanzuretrying to run /home/fenn/local/pythonOCC/samples/Level2/PAF/test_gears_sympy.py08:02
fennbecause i was trying to make the simplest possible install script before mucking it up08:02
kanzureyou have a new install script?08:02
fennisn't it SGEOM anyway?08:02
kanzureno, OCC.GEOMImpl means it is in the OCC  module08:02
kanzurekanzure@pikachu:~/local/sgeom/src/GEOMImpl08:03
fennthis multiple places to store 'how to compile stuff' really chaps my ass08:03
kanzurewell fuck that theory I guess08:03
fennwhy can't the devs just make it work properly out of the box? is really nobody else using debian?08:04
kanzurethe devs are jerks08:04

fennanyway where should i put my half-tested compile script?08:04

kanzureno, I don't know what I'm asking09:14

fennholy crap09:15
fennGeorges Buffon found that if you drew a grid of parallel lines, each 1 unit apart, and dropped a pin on it that was also 1 unit in length, then the probability that the pin would fall across a line was 2/π. In 1901, someone dropped a pin 34080 times and got an average of 3.1415929.09:15
kanzuregeorge didn't drop the pin?09:16

kanzure"drawing is for the servants" ?09:17

fennsimple math based on the randomness of the pin's angle09:18
fennthe pin sweeps an angle of 2pi09:19
fennsomething like that09:19
fennif you care http://www.mste.uiuc.edu/reese/buffon/buffon.html09:20
kanzuregeometry_demos.py has "points_from_intersection" but it seems to only work on objects like gp_Pln, gp_Cylinder, gp_Sphere, etc.09:32
katsmeow-afk[off topic] how important is it to be able to stand up in  a boat cabin that's only 8ft wide, if going above 5.5ft inside height begins making relocating the boat on land extraordinarily difficult? really, it's not like i'll be running laps inside09:34
katsmeow-afkit's the inside-the-hull , "below decks", sleeping, weathertight, desk-workshop cabin i speak of09:39
fennnot being able to stand in a workshop would suck, but i guess you're used to it09:39
katsmeow-afktrue, but standing at a spining lathe on a boat would seem to have a huge disadvantage: the boat roll tossing a standing person into the work09:41
fenni was more thinking about wrestling with something in a vise, (wrench, hammer, hacksaw, etc)09:41
katsmeow-afkoh, well, dirty poundy work is prolly best done upstairs09:42
fennyou can do a lot in an office chair if the space is set up for it09:43
katsmeow-afkthe main hull will require land transport, there's the heigth restriction,, but the above-hull cabin is built onthe boat after launching and has no such restriction09:43
fenni see. you could also just make it removable09:43
katsmeow-afkthe lower cabin will have environment controls to keep humidity and salt to a minimum, the top cabin may have open windows09:44
katsmeow-afkeven if removeable, i cannot build it here without a very tall barn to build it in09:44
katsmeow-afkand a crane to move it about09:45
katsmeow-afkbuilding it here is contraindicated09:45
katsmeow-afki'd rather build a kit of a top cabin here, if needed, and stillassemble it onthe hull after launching09:45
katsmeow-afkanyhow, given the presence of the top cabin, the sit-down lower internal cabin is less of a problem?09:46
fennyah09:47
* katsmeow-afk thanks fenn for his input09:48

kanzurefenn: how much trouble would it be to turn occ_class into a list in the OCC_triple classes in geom/geom.py?10:33
kanzurei added Point.from_vertex because I don't want to get into that at the moment10:34
kanzurebut basically there's a way to turn a TopoDS_Vertex into a gp_Pnt (and thus a Point)10:34
kanzurebut it requires that Point() be able to take a TopoDS_Vertex as the parameter, and OCC_triple currently doesn't allow for anything but whatever the occ_class says10:34
kanzurealso, BRep_Tool is hidden in OCC.BRep, not in OCC.BRepTools10:35
fennOCC_Triple can do gp_*, list, tuple, or subclass of OCC_Triple.. what's so hard about adding another case to the __init__?10:37
kanzurehuh? should TopoDS_Vertex work for anything that inherits from OCC_Triple?10:38
fennwrapped_classes = gp_Pnt, gp_Vec, gp_Dir, gp_XYZ10:38
kanzureI guess so10:39
kanzurebut it becomes kinda meaningless to go from gp_Vec to TopoDS_Vertex10:39
fennmeh10:39
fenn"dont do that"10:40
fennanyway TopoDS doesn't have all the same methods as the wrapped_classes do, so you'd have to write a method to cast it to OCC_tripe anyway10:42
kanzure"A box approximation of an object used for collision detection. An axis-aligned bounding box (AABB) is defined by the minimum and maximum 'x', 'y', and 'z' values. An oriented bounding box (OBB), however, generally gives a closer fit, because it is always aligned with the object."11:08

diraalthough we talk about collision which is good thing in one point of view12:44
kanzure"gnu network object model object environment" == gnome? really?12:45
kanzuredira: it's because we're all working on projects for h+ stuff12:45
kanzureso instead of talking about philosophy, we just go do it12:45
kanzureor act like we're doing it12:45
kanzurenot sure which is which yet12:45
diraand I'm interested to know of such projects , at list topics?12:46
kanzure"The Free Software Foundation and Net Community started a fund drive to raise $14,175 to fund the completion of Display Ghostscript--that is, extending Ghostscript to support the Display Postscript features. We have succeeded in raising the full amount, and the work is being done."12:48
kanzuredira: http://adl.serveftp.org/dokuwiki/skdb12:48
diraand you cannot cut the philosophy outa things , if you do it , that contradicts with your own philosophy , evolution and improvements need interaction, iteration and reviewing what you've achieved so far although with less concentration12:48

kanzureprojects in the pipeline for transhuman technology:12:49
kanzurehttp://adl.serveftp.org/skdb/doc/proposals/trans-tech.yaml12:50
kanzurethere was this opportunity a few months ago that presented itself where we might have got a large warehouse to go work in and make stuff12:50
kanzureit hasn't exactly come through yet, but that's a file that describes some of the projects we were thinking of implementing12:50
kanzureit's listed in a way that describes what we need in order to do what we want to do..12:50
kanzureso for instance, to do muscle enhancement you would need myostatin inhibitors (if you want that option), which would require maybe a bioreactor (for the method I've been thinking of)12:51
kanzureand to do microelectrode arrays you need to be able to do electrode etching12:51
diraalthough I'm on your camp, but I'm eager to know why http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Fukuyama calls H+ as one of the world's most dangerous ideas ?12:52
kanzuredunno, he seems like he just likes to write and talk a lot12:52
kanzureI'd ignore him. nothing useful has ever come from him as far as I can tell.12:52

dirathat he thinks of H+ as the world's most dangerous ideas?12:53
kanzureis that somehow important?12:54
dirasince that is the only critic around , it is to me ...12:54
kanzuredira: in the popular media there is a different idea of transhumanism than what we're talking about in here12:55
diraand that's big acquisition 12:55
kanzurein here, we mean transhuman in the sense of transexualism-but-more12:55
kanzurefrancis likes to talk about the idea of 'democratic transhumanism' which has been the basis of WTA for a while, the concept of "improving humanity for them" or something12:56
kanzurethis is what you'll find transhumanism defined as if you go read the wikipedia article, for instance12:56

kanzure'RMG is an automatic chemical reaction mechanism generator that constructs kinetic models composed of elementary chemical reaction steps using a general understanding of how molecules react (currently limited to C, H and O atoms). '19:47

QuantumGis it remotely predictive? :)19:48
* bkero considers redoing the template of his resume.19:49
kanzureQuantumG: I'm looking for a chemical reaction mechanisms database, preferably in SMILES or something that's not in english.19:57
kanzuresuperkuh: Know anything for that?19:58
superkuhNo.19:58

kanzure"Reaction SMILES is the language used for describing specific, single-step reactions. Reaction SMILES are a strict superset of molecule SMILES. Any valid molecule SMILES can be a component of a reaction SMILES."20:01
kanzureIIRC, this might be related to SMIRKS.20:01

kanzurewhere's my metadata?20:03
kanzurehttp://www.daylight.com/meetings/emug98/Delany/rxn-tree.html20:03
kanzureaha. http://www.daylight.com/meetings/emug98/Delany/rxn-db.html20:04
kanzure'# Database from Infochem. Includes 2.5 million reactions, with citation, keywords, yield, conditions. '20:04
kanzuredoes anyone have access to Current Chemical Reactions? I may have access, but the database doesn't seem to accessibly exidst.20:23
kanzure*exit20:23
kanzure*exist20:23
QuantumGis it possible to have a database of chemical reactions and do stuff like hillclimbing on it to work out, say, chemical synthesis procedures?20:24
kanzureyes that's called retrosynthesis20:29
kanzureit's what I'm doing actually20:29
kanzureyou can break up a target molecule and work your way back to common elements20:29
kanzureso I want to do that, but hook it into skdb20:29
kanzureso that it generates the machinery that you need as well20:29
kanzurei.e. hardware for performing certain chemical reactions20:29
QuantumGin Peter F. Hamilton's book "Misspent Youth" he talks about the War On Drugs basically being ended by the creation of general home chemical synthesis devices.20:31
QuantumGwhich had lots of "legal" uses before people figured out how to hack them to get around the anti-illicit-drug protections20:32

kanzureHey glytch.21:58
QuantumGI've yet to find anyone who is working on a truly innovative virtual environment.. it's all very derivative.. no-one really trying for the hard problems :)21:59
QuantumGfor example, in second life I would have expected someone to have done some mocap data streaming by now.21:59
QuantumGfacial expression streaming... lip synching at least21:59
kanzureDon't look at the faces.21:59
kanzureThey steal attention.21:59
QuantumGbe nice if there was at least a premier place for that kinda research22:01
QuantumGyou'd think those internet 2 bozos would be all over it22:01
