ParahSailinhuh, something in the php standard library is actually better than the equivalent in python15:30
chris_99what's that?15:30
ParahSailinin python, its really hard to do the equivalent of $ derp <fd0.txt 3<fd3.txt15:31
ParahSailinPopen does not easily support more thant stdin, stdout, stderr15:31
ParahSailinin php, its fairly trivial to open a subprocess with arbitrary file descriptors15:31
kanzurehave you tried the subprocess module15:38
ParahSailinyes, subprocess.Popen15:42
ParahSailinthis is actually kinda sad that php accidentally did something right that python can't do easily15:43

welesI wonder if I'm the only one who finds videos by @JasonSilva annoying... Is he on crack or something?16:51
kanzurewhy are you watching them16:52
welessome ppl keep linking to them:)16:53
weleslike @planetaryresources16:53
kanzureplanetary resources is peter diamandis and therefore not worth watching closely. they will probably do some things, but i wouldn't be too concerned about them.16:54
kanzurefor the most part it is okay to ignore them16:55
kanzurealso you should hang out with better people if that's the sorta links you get16:55
weleslol, that's why I'm here16:55

Burninatewhat led you from PR to here?16:57
welesfrom pr to here nothing. i just follow a lot of "science and technology" stuff.  to here led me kanzure, after i saw him on the openworm list16:58
BurninatePlanetary Resources appears, to my eye, to have very little to do with asteroids.16:58
kanzureoh you saw me from openworm? that's cool.16:59
kanzurei was expecting something much worse16:59

Burninateit's *possible* the people pushing it are not-so-secretly space enthusiasts, but the play they are making is for a low-latency, low-resolution Earth observation platform16:59

kanzureBurninate: that's only their recent project. they had other things they were pitching earlier.17:00
kanzureBurninate: which is how they raised a few million dollars prior to their stupid-ass kickstarter project.17:00
Burninatethe Arkyd 100 project doesn't make *any* sense as an actual tool17:00
Burninatefor finding asteroids17:00
Burninatethe physics and economics don't allow it to17:01
welesi think pr,diamandis and few others are just cashing in on h+ crowd17:01
Burninatean 8" telescope with those specs isn't limited by anything that being in space solves, not to the extent that anyone would pay to put it in space17:01
kanzureit's not really the hplus crowd. the hplus crowd is extremely small.17:03
kanzurei have seen the numbers.17:03
Burninate8" is the conventional size scale, roughly speaking, where the effect of the atmosphere is equal to the effect of the telescope's diffraction limit17:03
welesi stopped listening to their bullshit after I found out that they want to communicate with lasers on these small ass telescopes17:03
Burninatemeaning being in space buys *nothing*17:03
eudoxiaweles: if you can stand silva you don't belong here17:03
weleswhy is this his fun club17:04
weles?17:04
welesfan17:04
eudoxiacan not cant17:04
welesoh shit, sorry17:04
weles:)17:04
BurninateIf you look at it as the introductory product, an exercise for an organization to get familiar with space telescopy, that makes *a bit* more sense I suppose17:04
kanzureit's mostly promotion17:05
Burninatelasers are actually a bit deal weles17:05
Burninate*big17:05
welesBurninate, but they are inefficient17:06
BurninateHow?17:06
welesthey convert only 10-20% of power to light17:06
welesthe rest is wasted17:06
Burninate?17:06
BurninateI thought they were more like 1%17:06
welesdepends on type17:06
welesco2 are 10-2017:06
Burninatehow about stronger diode?17:07
Burninatein the NIR17:07
welesthey are less than 10, i belive 1%17:07
BurninateAnd how about radio emitters?17:07
welesthat's why i don't think it makes sense to put something like that on a device powered by solar panels17:08
eudoxiathey want to use LIDAR to find asteroids?17:08
welesdepends on the frequency and antenna17:08
welesthey want to communicate between arkyds with lasers17:09
Burninateexpect a powerful NIR diode laser rather than CO2, much more convenient17:09
Burninatelow temperature tolerant, no pressure, etc17:09
welesbut also lower power, less efficient17:09
Burninatehave you run the numbers on the radio option though?17:10
welesnot, but from I learned while getting my ham license they are pretty efficient:)17:11
welesi just know little more about lasers as i have to program software for them everyday:)17:11
BurninateKu-band amplifier - "High power added efficiency of 30%, 10 points greater than the ..."17:11
Burninateso let's assume 30%17:12
Burninatenow what is the gain on a reasonable Ku-band dish17:12
Burninateor... too small for a dish17:13
gradstudentbotWell, that paper was actually retracted.17:14
Burninatemeh, I retreat from the socratic method17:15
welesi will do some calculations little later:)17:15
BurninateThe benefit of a laser is the extremely high gain.17:15
Burninateon both ends of the transmission17:15
welesbut i believe radio is better17:15
Burninate*extremely* high.17:15
welesi guess i could be wrong but.. need to run some numbers first:)17:17
Burninateyou can find more detail in the Optical SETI papers17:17
welesi will check that, but don't forget we're talking about a very small device17:18
gradstudentbotWhen is he back from sabbatical?17:18
Burninatelasers are the future as far as space telescopy - presently missions like Gaia are extremely data-bottlenecked17:18
Burninateand cancelled missions like the Mars Telecommunications Orbiter, the sister ship that was supposed to talk with the Curiosity rover, are sorely missed17:19
welesyeah, but we need to learn how to aim them from huge distances17:19
Burninate(and link back to Earth with a laser)17:19
weleslasers are the future but not for arkyds17:20

Burninatehttp://www.roithner-laser.com/lasersystems/laser_system1550.html  shows 3 mrad (10 arc minutes) divergence on a 1550nm product without any further optics17:26
Burninate3 mrad side to side ~= 10 mrad^2 solid angle17:28
Burninateerm17:31
Burninate3 mrad = 0.171887339 degrees.  (3.14 * 0.17 degrees / 2)^2 = 0.071 square degrees.  41253 square degrees in a sphere / 0.071 = 581028x, or 57.6 decibels of intensity gain17:37
ParaSa1linso you mean like 2.25 usr17:38
Burninatecouple it to modest optics to smooth out that divergence, and you can add another few tens of decibels17:39
ParaSa1linhow much is one of those 3mrad divergence lasers17:39
BurninateThe detector side is less constrained  - you can get some pretty huge dishes - but still a pretty considerable advantage I think in using telescopes instead17:40
Burninatedunno17:42

Burninate1550 would be the eyesafe-for-pointing-anywhere one of those - 850 and to a lesser extent 1300 would be dangerous because of where in the eye they're absorbed17:48
ParaSa1linyeah i know fiber, but how cost-effective could you make free space optical meshnet17:50
Burninatevery... if you were willing to deal with perfect line of sight, and suffer weather-related problems17:51
Burninatewell17:51
Burninate"very" relative to laying cable17:51
Burninatenot relative to buying a few antennas17:52
weleswell calculate beam diameter for 3mrad divergance over 250mil km17:52
weles:)17:52
Burninatedoesn't matter, the figure of merit is decibel gain17:52
ParaSa1linantennas and radio?17:52
Burninatetimes power, against background17:52
ParaSa1linisnt the FCC the major constraint in radio comms?17:53
-!- ivan`_ is now known as ivan`17:53
Burninateyes.17:53
Burninateantennas are un-fragile though.17:53
Burninateand cheap for point to point connections17:53
ParaSa1linis there an easy way to avoid fcc attacks for point to point radio links?17:54
Burninateeven weak consumer wifi boxes, hooked up to moderate-sized dishes, are capable of tens of miles range.17:54
Burninatethe important bit is that both sender and reciever are hooked up to parabolic dishes and pointed at each other with +25-35db gain each17:55
Burninate'fcc attacks'?17:56
ParaSa1linthe part where the fcc sends goons to seize/destroy equipment/put you in a cage17:57
Burninatethe problem with the FCC would be any restriction that uses 'effective radiated power'17:57
Burninaterather than 'power'17:57
BurninateERP theoretically limits, eg, the size of the antenna17:57
ParaSa1linso the existing bands the fcc will not send goons at you for are adequately non-congested for backbone links?17:59
BurninateI don't know too much about the FCC's policies on unlicensed bands.17:59

BurninateI'm not a ham - I have no amateur radio license to use the restricted bands, but the 5ghz, 2.4ghz, 900mhz are open to devices that respect certain rules about interference18:02
Burninatemy notes are here - http://dronepedia.com/index.php?title=Radio_bands#Ham_bands18:05
Burninatechoppy as they are18:05
Burninatefor the purposes of UAV data transmission & control18:05
ParaSa1linthe main problem with radio is that existing RF ICs are limited to bluetooth, cell, wifi etc18:06
ParaSa1lini should estimate how much an ASIC for custom RF modulation would come out to18:07
Burninatewhy?18:07
welesParahSailin, you can now buy sofware defined radios that will do whatever you want18:07
BurninateSDR is a big thing now18:07
ParaSa1linis there much SDR for the Tx side?18:09
ParaSa1lini thought most of it was Rx only18:09
BurninateAnything too low frequency and both the gain from a reasonable-sized antenna, and the bandwidth, will be shit.  Anything too high frequency and weather, leaves, etc will cause problems.18:09
welesBurninate, there are really not 'unlicensed' bands as in "free for all". they still have power limits18:09
Burninateon ERP or RP?18:10
heathkanzure: have we discussed node.io previously?18:10
heathif you're looking at switching the scraping framework to js, this might be what you are looking for18:10
welesParahSailin, you can have sdr that does both tx and rx for a few 100's18:12
welesBurninate, http://www.afar.net/tutorials/fcc-rules/18:12
BurninateThanks!18:13
BurninateSo still very large numbers, sufficient for a reasonable-distance meshnet18:14

welesyeap, especially with a good antenna18:15
Burninatepoint is, most people seem to think their omnidirectional antennas aren't limiting, but they are actually *extraordinarily wasteful* as far as signal is concerned, and exponential increases in distance are easily practical as soon as you decide on fixed point to point connections18:15
Burninateand attach the right sort of antenna18:16
welesyeap18:16
Burninatewithout even increasing transmitter power18:16
welescan't argue with that18:16
BurninateCan non-diode lasers do rapid digital signal modulation?18:20
kanzureheath: it seems to use nodejs. it doesn't seem to use embedded webkit. so it's probably just using jsdom. which is insufficient for many of my purposes. even paperbot.18:21
Burninateflash on and off in non-cyclical patterns at extremely high frequency?18:21
