kanzureoh09:48

kanzurefenn: if a "function" in a function structure is compared to a part that has a greater or smaller range on acceptable units for activity on a port, what should happen?10:32
kanzurei think i may prefer to call a "function from a function structure" a "ghost" because it's kinda like having an actual part except you don't, it's more like the outlines of a part10:32
kanzureif the ranges on acceptable units are exactly the same, then a part may replace that ghost10:33
kanzurebut in many cases that will not be so10:33

kanzureguess there could be an extra attribute that says in which direction changes are allowed (if any) on the magnitude10:39
genehackerheheheh10:39
kanzurei.e., "this pipe accepts 40..50psi, locked"10:39
kanzureer, I guess you can say "the minimum is locked, the maximum is locked"10:40
genehackeryou might put safety factor too10:40
kanzureif you don't have these "locks", you could end up with drift.. because there may be "overlapping ranges" between mating parts10:41
genehackermakes sense10:42
kanzurei.e., if you say "this part will output 50 to 60 psi, " you might connect it to something that takes input of 20 to 100 psi. but the output of this second part might be "20 to 100 psi" too (or something totally different), so you end up with these values that are "drifting"10:42
genehackerok10:43
kanzurehas this ever happened to you when you were designing something?10:44
genehackerI don't see what you mean10:44
-!- branstrom [n=branstro@85.224.28.15] has quit ["Leaving..."]10:44
genehackerbut generally if something outputs 50 psi, it doesn't hook up to 20 psi pipe10:44
kanzurewell there are some devices that operate over a range of acceptable units right?10:45
genehackergenerally you design the whole thing to be 50 psi if it outputs 50 psi10:45
kanzureoh?10:46
kanzuredoes anyone ever design it to do otherwise?10:46
kanzurelike, have it internally operate at 100 psi10:46
kanzureeven though the input to the whole system is 5010:46
kanzureand the output is 50?10:46
genehackeryeah if it's a pressure amplifier10:46
genehackerwhere you're hooking up a pump to a pump to pump a pump10:47
genehackerthen again I haven't designed that much10:47
kanzurefenn: i guess this is more of a question of whether or not two Range objects are equal. Range(1,20)==Range(5,15) should be False, but that doesn't mean that an item within the first range is necessarily incompatible in the second range10:47

kanzurehere are the possibilities i can imagine:11:17
kanzurehttp://adl.serveftp.org/~bryan/range-combos.txt11:17
kanzurei guess you can specify ranges like this: >50..<70psi. this means, "a compatible range will be greater than 50 and less than 70 psi". 11:37
kanzureor does compatibility of ranges change depending on context?11:37

fennwith some data like "typical" and "feasible" range, typical = width of asymmetric gaussian distribution at 1 std deviation; feasible = width at n(=2?) std deviations12:42
fenna lot of machined geometrical precision distributions take the form of a trapezoid12:43
kardanjep saw that, is that for me? (I see no connection)12:44
ybitfirst day results of 600mg of adrafanil, kicks in slowly but when it does, surprise, it's just like modafinil12:44
fennwhat is modafinil like?12:46
bkeroIt's like caffeine, but without all the shakes.12:47
fennplease humor me, i don't know what caffeine does12:49
ybitit makes you work faster12:51

kanzurehm maybe redefining MAX_INT as 0 is a bad idea15:50
ybiti still can't really stand my boss, but i did get to operate a drill press and miller today16:05
ybitand apparently we are going to convert to pick-up trucks to electric16:06
ybit</brag>16:06
bkeroHooray16:11
bkeroHeavy things work great as electric16:11
ybit:P16:11
ybitthey are small pick-up trucks16:11
bkeroJust ask all those brilliant Ohio State University students that made a hybrid hummer16:11
ybitbtw bkero, i've taken your suggestion up, one of the welding projects is an electric bike now16:11
ybitdiff in adrafanil and modafanil, at leat in day one, adrafanil wears off and you have to take a higher dosage16:14
ybiti'm taken 600mg of adrafanil today and it has worn off ~8 hours later16:14

kanzureso i've got the system generating solutions to "pddl" problems but now i'm not sure what i'm supposed to do with this "solution"16:17
kanzurehmph. there are a lot of 'sentence planners' out there, it turns out,16:24
kanzureand when i look at pddl definition files it doesn't look that far off from PAR16:24
kanzureso anyway, the trick now is figuring out how to get at least one of these to run16:24
