fennkanzure: do you happen to know the voltages required for the big motors on the puma? was it 78V? do you remember the link to the manuals?16:53
genehackerwow, that's pretty high16:54
genehackereven the largest stepper driver in the robotics trailer can't provide that much16:54
genehackerthough it is an industrial robot16:55
fenn78V is not that high17:01
fenna lot of industrial stuff runs at 170V because that's what you get from a rectified isolation transformer17:02
genehackerwell in terms of what I'm used to it's high17:42

InkBloboooooooooooooo20:23
kanzure?20:23
InkBlobphilosophical.20:23
kanzurewhat?20:23
kanzurei just don't understand wtf you're trying to say20:23
InkBlobit's deep. 20:23
InkBlobwuw wuw wtf with wtf..20:24
kanzure?20:24
InkBlobnevermind yo...20:24
genehackerperhaps we should discuss the feasibility of various movie scenarios20:25
InkBlobthat's a great idea.20:25
InkBlobi'll start.20:25
kanzurethat's a terrible idea20:25
kanzurego away20:25
genehackeror we could do something useful20:25
InkBlobanybody watched the movie: "The island" 20:25
kanzure*sigh*20:25
InkBlobwith scarlette johansson-20:25
genehackerwhat's a scarlette johansson?20:26
InkBlobfeasibility of cloned organs replacing our own body20:26
InkBlobin say.... 20 years?20:26
kanzurewell, since an organ isn't a body, that's unlikely20:26
genehackerwell the cloning process seems wasteful and expensive to me20:26
genehackerdo you know how expensive it would be to maintain lots of clones like that?20:27
genehackervery20:27
genehackerbesides organ printing's cooler20:27
InkBlobsuppose you can replace/renew cells with "younger" ones. what kind of method is there in20:27
InkBlobdistribution of these cells inside the body?20:27
InkBlobi mean introducing and spreading these cells20:28

kanzureInkBlob: you should do some reading (also some practice improving your english skills, fyi)20:28
InkBlobsure your right.20:29
kanzurehttp://designfiles.org/papers/longevity/ might be some good reading for the distribution of stem cells throughout the body20:29
kanzuresorry, what's to my right?20:29
kanzureblah20:29
InkBlobwow great stuff. thanks20:29
InkBlobyou are right.20:29
InkBlobdon't tell me you read all these kanzure.20:30
InkBlobmust have taken you ages.20:30
InkBlobif you know how to force feed-in info to the brain like in the matrix, let me know.20:32
InkBlobif these info are true, i wonder why people aren't doing it already.20:33
kanzurebecause nobody reads the literature20:33
InkBlobi wonder if there is a person out there who is already guaranteed to live 300 years.20:33
genehackeroh we do, it just doesn't work very 20:34
kanzure"guaranteed" ?20:34
kanzuregenehacker: aubrey has stated on multiple occassions that he doesn't read much any more20:34
genehackerWHAT?20:34
InkBlobyeah like, they already know their cells are "vigor" full of life (as compared to before.) and they know they will live unnaturally long.20:34
kanzurehe spends all his time writing! and speaking at conferences. :)20:34
genehackerno lab work, no reading papers, just speaking and writing? 20:35
kanzurehe definitely does not do any lab work20:35
kanzurehe's totally a non-wet-work guy, he's definitely made that clear20:35
InkBlobbut i saw in a documentary aubrey has couple labs... 20:35
InkBlobhe doesn't work anymore? is he just a preacher now?20:35
genehackernow tell me at least venter does wet stuff?20:35
genehackerlooks like...20:36
kanzureventer funds jcvi with a few hundred million dollars20:36
kanzureand it's the people that work at jcvi that work in the labs20:36
kanzureaubrey has students and various grants for labs, which do the work20:36
InkBlobi wonder if venter is looking forward to reversing aging. 20:36
InkBloboh. aubrey probably needs money/funding.20:37
InkBlobbut venter...20:37
InkBlobwow, if he get that bio-fuel thing working,20:37
genehackerso venter funds and just slaps his name on papers?20:37
InkBlobhe'll get hundreds of billions.20:37
kanzurei'm not sure genehacker- i haven't heard or looked into it20:37
kanzurebut jcvi is a big organization (at least 10+ people)20:37
InkBloband imagine he works on regenerative medicine with that much cash.20:37
kanzureback in the 90s, venter was writing papers and stuff, maybe he was doing lab work20:37
kanzurei mean, technically even professors in bio labs don't "do" the actual manual labor20:38
kanzurethat's what undergrads are for20:38
kanzureand grad students20:38
kanzureDIY, remember?20:38
genehackerthat's right we're expendable monkeys20:38
kanzureyou might be, but i'm not ;-)20:38
genehackerI might be a CAD monkey soon...20:38
genehackerany progress on the hackerspace?20:39
genehackerI'll have to look at my schedule, but I might be able to stop by this week20:39
InkBlobkanzure, remember that log file you showed me on how much you chat/phone people online and you keep stats on it?20:40
InkBlobis that a stand-alone program? can i have it?20:40
InkBlobcan i download it somewhere?20:41
InkBlobventer tried to kill himself in the open sea.20:42
InkBlobwith a surf board.20:42
InkBlobthen he decided not to. and came back on shore.20:42
InkBlobit's a good thing he did.20:42
genehackerwho knows maybe Venter's research will cause the ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE!20:43
genehacker*this is what some people actually believe20:44
InkBlobi am just *hoping venter will engage in longevity research. reversing aging.20:44
InkBlobi'm pretty sure he can. if he wanted to.20:44
InkBlobit'd be nice if there were a zombie apocalypse. I'd steal stuff from shopping malls.20:45
InkBloband jewerly shops.20:45
InkBlob...or the bank.20:46
genehackeroh well reversing aging research is like cancer research, we need to do a lot of basic research first to understand the problem20:46
InkBlobI keep thinking this line from pirates of the caribbean.20:46
InkBlob"Gentlemen, there is more than one way to live forever."20:46
InkBlobI'm pretty darn sure there's thousands of ways to extend one's lifespan unnaturally.20:47
genehackerwhy? jewerly can't defend you from zombies, and other people will go there too20:47
kanzureInkBlob: http://designfiles.org/~bryan/meetlog/meetlog.txt20:47
InkBlobno for money man.20:47
kanzureInkBlob: http://designfiles.org/~bryan/meetlog/tag_extractor.py20:47
InkBlobKanzure: yeah that's it. how can i do the same?20:48
genehackerwhy? post zombie apocalypse, food and staying alive is going to be more valuable than jewerly20:48
InkBlobis that.. python?20:48
kanzuregenehacker: we already understand the problem, and even have various avenues of research that we're pursuing20:48
kanzureInkBlob: yes20:48
InkBlobaubrey predicted in youtube that, in 10 years, people will start believing in ending aging and they will know they can. I think lot of people know it now. I know, and i'm just an imagineer.20:49
genehackerthen it seems I don't understand the problem...20:49
kanzureare you seriously employed by disney as an imagineer?20:49
genehackerI need to read moar20:49
genehackertime to leave20:49
InkBlobKanzure: thanks, I will download python executer and try out the script.20:49
InkBlobkanzure: No. But I do watch a lot of disney movies. 20:50
InkBlobI'm just an web designer, i majored in design arts and fine arts.20:51
InkBlobBut i can have my interests elsewhere.20:51
InkBlobBeing employeed by disney, now there is a good idea.20:52
InkBlobHappiest place on earth!20:52
InkBlobwow these files you sent me about stem cell therapy. it's beyond me. It's way too complicated with complex, professional terms.20:53
InkBlobWhat can i do to understand all this?20:53
InkBlobdo i need to learn biochemistry and stuff?20:54
kanzureyou need to learn how to use a dictionary20:54
InkBloboh.20:54
InkBloband wikipedia.20:54
InkBlobwell, i can probably understand "of it." but not enough to experiment something or create something...20:54
kanzurebut if you want stem cell therapy papers in particular, you should try the stem cells folder: 20:54

InkBlobthhaaaangks.20:55
InkBlobwhat kind of archive is this? Is this online library of some university?20:55
InkBlobinteresting index.20:56

InkBloboh. you must be dedicated.20:56
InkBlobinto this.20:56
InkBloball this.20:56
* kanzure nods20:56
InkBlobany reason in particular why you decided to take this "waivering" road?20:56
InkBlobwaiver (in faith) for most people.20:57
kanzure"waver: uncertain in purpose or action"20:57
kanzurethis doesn't seem uncertain to me20:57
