@kanzuremaybe the NSA version of yourself did it07:40
eleitlI'm trying to use my own mail server while on the road07:42
eleitlfrom Android, to boot07:42
@kanzurei was looking into running virtual servers on android the other day07:42
@kanzureit turns out the nexus4 chip is capable of running kvm07:42
@kanzurebut nobody has compiled an android kernel with the linux-arm-kvm branch07:43
@kanzurein the mean time i recommend a chroot07:43
@kanzurei've used lildebi in the past for a debian chroot on android but i'm sure there's a better way to do it07:43
eleitlwhen I have a spare life, I will look into that07:44
@kanzurenow excuse me while i puke some text up...07:45
@kanzure"Sorry for being late myself with following up to our kick-off meeting and your questions. I merged both of your e-mails because with respect to the idea of using FPGAs as the hardware substrate my answer may address them equally. FPGAs can be configured/programmed to become almost any (foremost) digital electrical circuitry you want, be it a simple counter or a microprocessor. You can furthermore place several circuits on one FPGA. And these ...07:45
@kanzure... easily reconfigurable circuits can be operated in parallel. Furthermore, most FPGAs have a high count of I/O pins (up to 1200 in most recent models like Xilinx Virtex 7), that can be addressed in parallel. That makes them attractive for emulating parallelly operating systems like nervous systems."07:45
@kanzure"One of our hypotheses is that proper nervous system function is highly dependent on the precise timing of events, which is difficult to realize with computer simulations or serial chip-to-chip communication schemes. So the idea is as follows: An entire FPGA chip will represent a single neuron (neuron ‘n’) and will carry a circuit that represents the response model of a neuron (e.g., integrate and fire in the simplest case). Each I/O pin ...07:45
@kanzure... on the FPGA will be a particular synaptic input or gap junction that some other “sending” FPGA neuron ‘m’ (!=’n’) connects to. So the number of required I/O pins equals the number of receiving synaptic connections that this FPGA ‘n’ is involved in."07:45
@kanzure"A separate I/O pin will represent its axonal output. Every time one of the synaptic inputs goes high, the response model will process it. In the worst case, all synaptic inputs go high simultaneously. For an FPGA it is not a problem to process them simultaneously; for any other type of microprocessor based on a  serial data processing architecture (like the Arduino or the Raspberry Pi that you mentioned) it is, though. As soon as the ...07:45
@kanzure... neuronal model circuit generates an output (e.g. because a threshold has been surpassed in the firing model), the FPGA will send a digital action potential out of its single “axonal” I/O output line, which will be distributed in parallel/simultaneously onto the respective synaptic I/O pins of those neurons with which this FPGA neuron ‘n’ forms synaptic connections, e.g. via a split-wire cable (one-to-many). And so on."07:46
@kanzure"So as extreme as it may sound to dedicate one FPGA for the operation of a single neuron, there is currently no alternative that we know of and that would allow us to a) realize a truly parallelly operating interconnection scheme (to ensure that arrival times of action potentials at their synaptic targets can be precisely timed) and b) to leave sufficient space for implementing intricately complex neural response models. While speed may be a ...07:46
@kanzure... welcome advantage, it was not a reason for choosing a hardware-based neural network emulation or FPGAs in particular. Real-time, super-real-time or sub-real-time operation will not be of concern as long as the timing of relative events will not be distorted. Unfortunately, FPGAs are still very expensive (and difficult to deal with); this is why we needed to apply for an EU grant to come up with the money and expertise that will hopefully ...07:46
eleitlis that from the Si elegans guys?07:46

eleitlYes, I know about them.07:46
eleitlBogus reasons.07:47
@kanzurei'm curious if i should be paying them a lot of attention07:47
@kanzureopenworm seems more in-the-game07:47
eleitlThe only valid reason is performance.07:47
eleitlBut it is very expensive performance.07:47
eleitlThe timing info is certainly preserved in a simulation much better than an emulation in hardware.07:48
eleitlWhere all kinds of dirt effects come into play.07:48
eleitlIf you want to make cognition from scratch, that's not a problem.07:48
eleitlBut if you want to simulate something correctly, it definitely is a big handicap.07:48
eleitlLess flexibility, much higher pricing.07:48
@kanzureyeah, timing does seem a little hard. the actual human brain doesn't care about timing that much, whereas as a researcher i assume you want to be able to interrogate the entire system's timing..07:49
@kanzuree.g. my front neurons don't care about the timing of my posterior neurons.07:49
eleitlthe timing is important if it's a time-based code, but it is much more easily inspectable by looking at your system trajectory07:50
eleitlcomputers suck07:53
eleitlwhy can't the NSA configure my goddamn server themselves?07:53

jonathan_any solid RTOS will do perfectly fine at timing precise events08:45
jonathan_total false presumption #n:  "FPGAs are still very expensive (and difficult to deal with);" ....08:46
jonathan_duh why not just write the entire simulation in an fpga sdk, no hardware needed duh08:46
eleitlyeah, these are bogus reasons08:47
@kanzureas far as i can tell there are a handful of cheap fpgas available08:47
eleitlhe's blowing massive smoke up your ass08:48
@kanzureanyway, rtos isn't going to help you because you still don't know what actual timing to make up08:48
jonathan_"please give us money to REINVENT THE WHEEL again and again"08:48
eleitlyou don't need rtos, just a numerical simulation with internal time steps08:48
jonathan_timing = sample rate08:48
jonathan_set it to whatever  you want08:49
eleitle.g. MD works with fs time steps08:49
eleitlno reason why you can't work with us in neural circuits08:49
jonathan_total false presumption bunch of b.s.: " In the worst case, all synaptic inputs go high simultaneously. For an FPGA it is not a problem to process them simultaneously; for any other type of microprocessor based on a  serial data processing architecture (like the Arduino or the Raspberry Pi that you mentioned) it is, though."08:49

eleitlyes, the guy is pretty hazy about these computer things08:49
jonathan_oh, it's hard to make memory go to all-1 at once?   not..   wth08:50
@kanzurejonathan_: this was forwarded to the openworm mailing list, http://openworm.org/ they were considering a collaboration with the si-elegans.eu people (who wrote that text you're looking at)08:50
jonathan_well if they want to collaborate with a bunch of dorks that's their choice.   "oh lets just use raspberry pi which is a lame platform and then let's complain about how it can't do what we need to do"08:53
jonathan_"oh obviously we need an fpga"  .. what08:53
eleitlyes, you're repeating my frustrations08:53
jonathan_"what we need are more complex words in our proposal so people think we are smart. Oh I heard about this FPGA thing that sounds complex right, lets talk about that"08:54

jonathan_wait biology is technology so animals are technology and that means...     something09:22
@kanzurethat means you've been reading too much rob carlson09:22
jonathan_wait that means rob carlson is technology which means...  something09:24

@kanzureyashgaroth: sup dawggy dawg09:25
yashgarothwhee late shift09:25
eleitlah, I see09:25
jonathan_he is a perfect example09:25
@kanzurejonathan_: not really, rob might actually have an engineering background. doesn't count.09:25
jonathan_rather than work in bio, he's left bio, and rather than do work, he convinces others do try the hard work09:25

@kanzureagreed09:26
jonathan_actually my concern about the design is on the group...09:26
jonathan_that means, rob is a better man than me09:26
@kanzurethe desgin of what?09:27
jonathan_rob was wrong, but he got $$$.   i was right, I got nada09:27
gradstudentbotOh that's interesting, do you want to write a paper together?09:27

nmz787kanzure: youtube requires you to send video metadata first, then if it's OK, it responds with an upload token and unique URL which you then send the video data to... when that finishes youtube responds with a 302, pointing to a URL you provided with the PUT (the next URL) along with the youtube ID appended... so it expects the nextURL to be on your site and your server to parse the ID from the args09:28
@kanzurethat's sorta dumb. it should pre-allocate the video id for you. that way when the upload is done it responds with HTTP 200 OK.09:29
jonathan_in fact i got worse than nada since I spent free time investigating the data I could get on it and giving my opinion, so in fact I lost $$$09:29

nmz787ParahSai1in: a spatially awesome laser is TEM00 which still has a gaussian falloff09:30
nmz787delinquentme: not sure you check the logs, but gaussian falloff is just how radiation works, the only way to smooth it out is to make the beam wider09:32
nmz787but the edges will still falloff09:32

@kanzurewhy?13:38

@kanzurethere is a 'private' mode13:44
