MatveyHey Bryan09:48
Matveyand everyone09:48
kanzurecan you remind me what your specific issues were?09:51
dbolser /nick dr_dbolser09:52
kanzureMatvey: what were the issues you were trying to solve?09:58
Matveysorry was a little afk09:59
Matveythe issue was with the script that estanlishes NE1 environment09:59
Matveyapperantly some packages it refers to are out of repositories, at least ubuntu's10:00
Matveybut I can install them manually, no prob10:00
kanzurewhat were the problems from before?10:01
Matveyfrom what before?10:01
kanzurewhat were the problems with running NE1 that you needed to use compile_nanoengineer?10:03
Matveynone, I made a clean linux box as you suggested10:06
Matveyfrom the very before is irrelevant - this was on another linux instance10:06
Utopiahhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_ExaP41tR810:07
kanzureMatvey: ok. then cd into nanoengineer/cad/src/ and type: python main.py10:12
MatveyI've not set up the environment in the box yet, so, it'll report PyQt missing. I will try it again later this evening10:13
kanzuresudo apt-get install python-qt10:15
Matveyyup :) new version will it be?10:15

Lukas_Nanoengineer, I think12:15
kanzuretheirix's git repo was fixed http://diyhpl.us/cgit/nanoengineer-theirix12:15
Lukas_Nice12:16
Lukas_I would ask what the problem was, but I wouldn't understand the answer12:16
kanzurehttp://diyhpl.us/~bryan/screenshots/2011-01-19-1356-nanoengineer.png12:17
kanzurewell,12:17
kanzurethe git daemon he was using was horrendously old and couldn't really deal with the massive size of nanoengineer.git12:17
kanzureso pulling even a 100kb git object from him was taking more than 20min.. when it should take something like 5sec12:17
Lukas_ah12:18
Lukas_well, I was incorrect, I actually understood that  :P12:18
kanzureLukas_: you're into youtube, right? technologiclee did a video of nanoengineer in action, a tutorial or something12:19

MatveyBryan: your pulled from Eugene into the separate rep?12:23
kanzureMatvey: no, eugene pushed into the separate repo, then i pulled into nanoengineer.git12:24
Matveylooks like they're copies12:24
Matveyok got it12:24
kanzurethat's because i updated nanoengineer.git with his changes12:24

Lukas_This is amazing12:38
kanzureyeah, did you catch the image gallery of previous things made in NE? http://nanoengineer-1.com/content/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=40&Itemid=5012:39
Lukas_O_O ... how expensive would it be to actually construct those molecules?12:41
Matveygiven required state of art in assembling techniques - yes12:45
Matveyyou could design some with today's technologies in mind -- then you'll be able to assemble it right away12:45
kanzurerobert freitas published something the other day that estimated $1 billion12:45
kanzurebut i think he's over-estimating because that's roughly the price if you go through typical tech development means.. intellectual property, buying patents, all that proper stuff12:46
Matveythat's a good question - if you're able to make the whole nanoassembler as a single directed engineer project, or is it require some kind of free scientific search?12:47
kanzuresingle directed engineering project12:48
kanzurefor scientific research, he has a list of things that need to get done:12:48
kanzurehttp://www.molecularassembler.com/Nanofactory/Challenges.htm12:48
kanzurehttp://www.acceleratingfuture.com/michael/blog/2011/01/what-would-it-cost-to-develop-a-nanofactory/12:50
Matveywe're going to wheedle some petrobillions out of Russian government for that :)12:50
kanzure"What will it cost to develop a nanofactory? Let’s assume research funds are spent in a completely focused manner toward the goal of a primitive diamondoid nanofactory that could assemble rigid diamondoid structures involving carbon, hydrogen, and perhaps a few other elements."12:50
kanzure"In this case, we estimate that an ideal research effort paced to make optimum use of available computational, experimental, and human resources would probably run at a $1–5 M/yr level for the first 5 years of the program, ramp up to $20–50 M/yr for the next 6 years, then finish off at a ~$100 M/yr rate culminating in a simple working desktop nanofactory appliance in year 16 of a ~$900 M effort."12:50
kanzure"Of course the bulk of this work, after the initial 5 year period, would be performed by people, companies, and university groups recruited from outside the Nanofactory Collaboration."12:50
kanzure"The key early milestone is to demonstrate positionally-controlled carbon placement on a diamond surface by the end of the initial 5 year period."12:50
kanzure"We believe that successful completion of this key experimental milestone would make it easier to recruit significant additional financial and human resources to undertake the more costly later phases of the nanofactory development work."12:50
kanzurei have no idea how he came up with those numbers though12:51
kanzurethe quote is from http://www.nanomedicine.com/Papers/Aging.pdf12:51
Matvey1b is a nice round number :)12:51
Matveywill be back in 5 minutes12:52

kanzurehttp://quantumg.blogspot.com/2010/12/new-sputnik-moment.html13:00
kanzure"Suppose some manufacturing backwater suddenly started turning out superb jet engines, or even a whole new fighter plane. Just as a matter of competitive interest, other manufacturers would no doubt arrange to get their hands on a few samples and check out their quality."13:00
kanzure"I expect that more than a few "national security" inquiries would also be made. What they discover blows their mind: the fan blades, the compressor, the combustion chambers, even the cowling, are all made from materials they've never seen before. Parts of the combustion chambers even appear to be made of perfectly shaped diamond."13:00
kanzure"By releasing these products onto the market, the protagonist has demonstrated a highly functional molecular nanotechnology manufacturing system. This is a massive breakthrough, and it would be completely unexpected."13:00
kanzure"You don't think a functioning molecular nanotechnology manufacturing system would be a blow to national pride (the US has been funding nanotechnology research for *decades*), or have massive military implications (they can make *anything*, including weapons no-one else can make)?"13:01

kanzureespecially if you or danila was heading it up13:48

Matveyyou might be interested in meeting her, she is very DIY13:51
kanzurecool13:52
Matveyalso we have a bunch of conventional academic and industry biotech guys, with labs and stuff13:52
Matveybut they're not DIY as far as I understand13:52
Matveysay, what useful biotech things we can manufacture today DIY-style?13:54
kanzurein terms of lab equipment.. here's a list: http://diyhpl.us/cgit/skdb/plain/doc/BOMs/diybio-equipment.yaml13:55
kanzurei dunno how to give a good overview of wetware experiments that have been carried out though13:56
TwerplingYou can pretty much make a lab capable of doing reasonable science using DIYBio equipment13:57
kanzurepeople are slowly working up to genetic engineering but right now we need to make open source hardware infrastructure for basic lab equipment.. instead of paying $50,000 for lab equipment, we can build it for $500, etc.13:57
TwerplingBy reasonable I mean nothing spectacular but rather cool things13:57
kanzurelab-on-a-chip devices are definitely DIYable13:59
kanzurehere's a list of diy transhuman tech projects:14:00
kanzurehttp://diyhpl.us/~bryan/papers/diytranshuman_projects.v3.txt14:00
QuantumGLukas_: I disagree.. just a small amount of funding in the *right* direction (whatever that is) would lead to a molecular nanotechnology breakthrough.14:00

kanzureQuantumG: what do you think about freitas' $1B estimate?14:01
kanzurehe has a rather thorough outline of TODO things that need to get done before he has a working molecular nanofactory but.. that doesn't mean he knows the cheapest ways or market rates14:01
QuantumGI haven't heard it, but I'm sure Freitas could do something with that much money.14:02
kanzureQuantumG: scroll up- it's in your backlog (before i quoted your blog post)14:02
QuantumGahh ok.  Well that's a little too much money to raise privately.. so he's doomed to writing funding requests14:03
QuantumG$15M/year I mean14:03
QuantumG$15M for the first 5 years and then $15M/year might be doable privately14:04
kanzuretons of pharma companies raise hundreds of millions for drugs even before they are through FDA testing14:04
QuantumGthey have a history of success14:04
kanzureyes but in proportion to the returns that nanotechnology could bring, blah blah blah14:05
kanzurei'm assuming my argument there is obvious14:05
kanzure(brb)14:05
QuantumGyou'd have to start smaller I think.. really prove you can do interesting work under non-academic conditions14:06

TwerplingLegislation in what manner?14:14

kanzure"No initiationRedPlease do not initiate any interaction with me."14:21
TwerplingI'm sorry, I'm not familiar with what is going on in Russia. Are they legislating on moral grounds, i.e. "We should not play god" or what have you?14:21
TwerplingIP?14:21
Lukas_To be honest, I have no idea what grounds they are basing their legislation on.  I am not to familiar with Russian politics or society14:22

kanzurejrayhawk: i'm confused; cleaning up the bad commits in skdb.git looks relatively easy to me, especially if i apply the same changes to my local skdb.git, revert ikiwiki's working directory, then revert /srv/git/skdb.git.. am i missing the hard part?18:23

jrayhawks/revert/reset/, yes18:33
jrayhawkIt'd probably be easiest to git config receive.denyNonFastForwards false on everything, push +master:master to ikiwiki, push +master:master to the bare repo, then turn denyNonFastForwards back on18:35
kanzurethat seems deceptively easy..18:35
kanzurebtw what's the +master:master syntax for? obviously something about branch master.. but?18:36
jrayhawkthat's to force an update to a non-child ref18:36
jrayhawk+master:master is disrespectful to your ancestors!18:37
kanzureby 'reset' the ikiwiki repo, what do you mean? i was going to do 'git reset --hard HEAD^something'18:37
jrayhawkYeah, 'reset' and not 'revert'18:38
jrayhawkyou kept using the word 'revert' like it meant 'reset'18:38
kanzureand revert should only be used to refer to situations where you change the working directory but not the git object store?18:38
kanzure*'revert'18:39
jrayhawkuh, reset doesn't modify the object store18:39
jrayhawka committed revert will presumably create one more object18:39
kanzureoh right, reverts get committed. i remember seeing those. i don't use them often, so that's probably why i didn't realize what i was saying18:40
jrayhawk--force master is a slightly more obvious form of +master:master18:40
kanzureyour jedi mind tricks have no effect on me18:41
delinquentmewhat form of git are you guys using ?? never seen +master:18:41
kanzurejedi git18:41
delinquentmeha guess so18:42
delinquentmeive just started using git rebase -i18:42
delinquentmethats a sweet tool18:42
jrayhawkyour sad devotion to an ancient command line flag has not helped conjure up clean refs, nor given you clairvoyance enough to remember the distinction between revert and reset18:42
kanzure-i is for wimps, real men memorize which hashes they want18:43
kanzurejrayhawk: i used to recite the star wars episode iv script during gym class as a way to overcome boredom :(18:44
delinquentmeHA18:44
delinquentmejrayhawk, you're the one who said "git revert --hard HEAD18:45
jrayhawkwhere?18:45
kanzurejrayhawk: are we sure these spurious merges won't show up again? i can test with some extra stuff to commit18:47
jrayhawkWell, I rebuiltrepo, so no, not unless you go screwing around with the hooks again.18:48
kanzureso no we're not sure?18:48
jrayhawkoh, sorry, yes I am sure they won't happen again provided yadda yadda yadda18:49
kanzurecool18:49
kanzurethe merges are pretty weird too18:49
jrayhawkI think they happened during the time you were rewriting post-update in various incomplete ways.18:49
kanzureda5ab4f1260637998f02e3bdc417a4ed20177ff7 merges f5d0b4f (ikiwiki initial commit) and c446 a commit from march 2010 from me18:49
jrayhawkOh ,that was probably from back when you deleted that git hook18:50
kanzureda5ab is from 2011-01-0718:50
kanzurelol how can f1b4c merge 48821c4 and a7d69 when a7d69 was committed 30sec in the future (after f1b4c)18:53
jrayhawksomebody's clock is drifting18:54
kanzuredo'h.. you're right. when my keyboard spasms my clock gets screwed up, sometimes i have to reset it once a month18:55
kanzureforgot about that.18:55
jrayhawkthat's... interesting.18:55
kanzurei'm a magnet for all kinds of problems18:55
kanzurei'm what you would call a "trouble user"18:55
jrayhawkyou might try booting with nohpet18:56
jrayhawklaptop makers fuck up hpet a lot for some reason :(18:56
kanzureubuntu users agree with your nohpet recommendation for my specific laptop model http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=140043218:57
kanzureuh i guess it's on the next page or something. doesn't matter that much.18:57
jrayhawkMy laptop also has hpet issues, though I guess I haven't tried it since upgrading the BIOS18:58
jrayhawkAnd my last laptop from a completely different manufacturer also also had hpet issues18:59
jrayhawkand my old nforce2 system was so bad that the NTP project called it unusable19:00
jrayhawkhttp://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Support/KnownHardwareIssues#Section_9.1.7.19:00
jrayhawkit had the funny property that it would attempt to switch ACPI sleep states multiple times in the same clock cycle and doublefault the system19:01

jrayhawkAssuming there's nothing inbetween those that you care about, that seems fine.19:08
kanzureso ikiwiki was merging my commits each time, and wasn't complaining that i wasn't using its HEAD?19:09
kanzuremaybe i had receive.denyNonFastForwards off..19:09
jrayhawkMost likely it was unable to push due to some permissions issue, so it was just pulling in and merging stuff until I rebuiltrepo19:09
jrayhawkOr that. I don't remember exactly what you did a year ago.19:09

ybiter, you having access beyond paywall...20:42
kanzurenot quite :) i have access.20:42
kanzurewhat i would prefer to do is an irc bot for fetching papers20:42
ybitphreedom and i discussed a p2p torrent like underground community where we continually fetch the latest papers..20:43
ybitdiyhpl.us/papers/ but for only people with a password?20:43
ybit..just to avoid dummies complaining20:44
kanzurei don't think the software infrastructure is there quite yet20:44
ybitof course20:44
kanzurepaperleaks should really be about journal leaks20:45
ybitbtw... i'm going ahead with genebay20:45
jrayhawkI can set up a client cert system for that pretty quick.20:45
kanzurepeople should run pyscholar/irc-bot gateways on their local network; torrenting results and publishing it to a private tracker network seems ok to me20:45
kanzureybit: did you figure out how to smooth over the kinks in the business model?20:46
ybiti don't imagine it will make much money, the only kink i noticed was not building the site and following up with the businesses20:46
ybitto that end, no and no, but i'm working on it20:47
kanzure*shrug* you might be able to get igem teams on board but really their synthesis requirements are low since they are shipped lots of biobricks20:47
kanzureybit: there just didn't seem to be a reason for synthesis companies to be involved at all..20:48
ybitoh, yeah, fuck biobasic20:48
kanzures/reason/incentive/20:48
ybityeah yeah, i don't think the other companies care so much20:49
ybitthe incentive is more visibility20:50
kanzurethe way to do that.. would be to say genebay is a marketer, show that it can bring in customers, and then threaten to take away their business unless they can offer a better deal :P20:51
ybitthe snag is that people can jump the middle-man, us, and go straight to a company. i have a feeling this is going to happen often, but oh well. i'm not in it to make money20:52
kanzurewhat are you in it for?20:52
ybiti have no experience on my resume in building sites, i'm going to fix this20:53
kanzureybit: how about http://diyhpl.us:9000/random20:53
ybitthat's certainly something i want to develop. i will probably develop my own personal site first, genebay second, then move on to humcie20:55
ybitat which point, i'm free for other projects20:55
kanzurei don't see the point in doing genebay if it's not to make it a business and not only that, it's lame and nobody wants to use it if it's not actually giving you multiple pennies off per basepair..20:56
ybitya know... humcie and gitduino are very similar in ideas, i wouldn't mind combining efforts20:56
kanzurewhat?20:57
ybitthe idea behind humcie is all about project management for the diy science community20:58
