superkuhIs that a joke?03:37
fennno. i am interested in using radio interferometry to measure angles to satellites and other sources. also learning about phased array limitations i.e. angular resolution and resolving ambiguities03:39

kanzurehttp://kentonv.github.io/capnproto/ (instead of using straight up protobufs)05:15
fenninstead of a rigid circuit board for transducer electrode connections, it probably makes sense to make a custom flat pack cable (etched copper film on polyimide or PETE) that folds over to connect both sides of the transducers. i can make a sketch if that is confusing05:23
fennfor row/column it would rotate 90 degrees05:24
kanzurei'll take a sketch05:32

fennhttp://fennetic.net/irc/transducer_flat_cable.jpg06:00
fennif you you use row/column addressing you only need sqrt(n) wires, but you only get 1/n^2 of the signal per element. if you connect two wires to each element you need 2n wires, but can monitor them completely. i'm probably missing something stupid like common ground06:02
fenncommon ground is n+1 wires06:03
fennit amounts to 3/4 of the area if you have a constant wire/space pitch distance06:04
fennsomething something common mode noise rejection06:05
kanzurewhat does the folding achieve? why connect both sides06:05
fennto use both sides of the cable.. you can squeeze more wires in that way06:07
fenninstead of wasting space on vias (and vias break with vibration and probably also with ultrasound vibration)06:07
kanzureoh. hm.06:07
fennoh, also you have to connect electrically to both sides of the chunk of piezo material06:08
fennthink of them as capacitors06:08
kanzurewhat about sandwhiching pcb boards for top/bottom of te elements?06:09
fennpcb boards are rigid and anisotropic, i'd expect they would scatter a lot of ultrasound06:09
kanzurein general what annoyance factor should i assign to etched copper films06:09
fennsame as pcb, but less vendor availability06:10
fennthey're pretty handy, i might just switch to using flex cables exclusively06:10
fennit's common to receive the plastic backing film and the copper foil separately, and you have to laminate them together06:11
fenni dont know why they do that06:12
fennwow so ultrasound signals are in the megahertz, that means they are pretty much radio waves when traveling in wires06:13
fennand wires carrying signals are vulnerable to RF interference and capacitive crosstalk etc06:13
kanzurei think there's a ribbon cable with alternating insulation and wiring06:14
fennbut why use a cable and a connector and a pcb when you can just use the cable itself06:14
fennis it possible to just buy this06:15
kanzurefully assembled ultrasound transducers are a bit pricey compared to what i think they could be built for06:16
fennoh the thing i haven't thought about is that piezos usually run at high voltage and that might not work with my tight spacing06:17
fenn"our engineers provide you with an acoustic 'sandwich' that includes ceramic and backing with face layers or a lens that would your requirements. multi-element assemblies can include flex circuitry terminated in a connector of your choice" and there is a picture of a ceramic grid next to a brown/orange flex cable like i am talking about06:21
fennthat would match your requirements*06:21
fennhere's a sucky version of the image from the pdf http://www.blatek.com/images/home_feature3.jpg06:22
fenni wonder if it's typical to use a common ground electrode as the "face layer"06:23
fenn"B mode ocular ultrasound transducers typically operate at the 10MHz to 50MHz frequency range. Popular general imaging B-scans can range from 2.0MHz through 10MHz."06:26
fennwhy are b-scan transducers round if they produce a 2D image06:27

dcaryfenn: "high voltage ... tight spacing" I see that IPC2221, section 6.3.1, "Internal conductors", says that internal conductors with 0.1 mm spacing are good up to 100 V.07:06
FourFirefenn,  military laser weapons are a thing now07:07

FourFiresoon we might have space based laser weapons07:07

fennthat's probably why it looks like a big gun07:14
FourFiremosasaur, forget it.07:14
kanzureFourFire: i am very hostile to crap. just don't do it. instead, make statements based on what others are saying.07:15
FourFireYou mean, that I am consistently dropping no-context lines, and it annoys you?07:16
fennkanzure: i mean it would be cool to see a historical progression of the list, formatted as json. each commit would be the list from each year07:17
kanzureno, you are dropping vaguely contextually relevant lines, but they are boring and your line of thought is backtracking07:17
FourFirebacktracking... for who exactly?07:17
kanzurefor example, did you really think that fenn didn't know about military laser weapons. that's sort of a weird statement to make after he linked to something about military laser weapons!07:18
FourFireYou, or is there some sort of channel consensus on what may and may not be discussed after a certain pre-specified unit of time, which I am not aware of?07:18
mosasaurFourFire: So you didn't get I was making a joke by giving a gwerny response to your question?07:18
FourFiremosasaur, yes, sorry.07:18
kanzurethere is definitely a channel consensus of sorts07:18
kanzureor, rather, baseline reasonableness07:19
kanzurefenn: well, any xml2json recommendations? :\07:19

fennpolyus was an orbital weapons platform containing a 1 megawatt CO2 laser, launched in 1987 for the purpose of shooting down US SDI satellites. it was "man tended" and the design eventually became the first pieces of the international space station (says "MIR-2" on the side): http://www.buran-energia.com/polious/polious-desc.php07:20

kanzure06:59 < FourFire> "<kanzure> i am highly skeptical of anyone who tries to claim that people who disgree with them are unfeeling monsters" I'm a mostly unfeeling monster, does that mean I'm addicted to porn?07:21

kanzureno, i don't have good enough microphones07:24

fenncan they mimic lyre birds?07:26
dcaryfenn: Yes, keep the internal conductor spacing at least 0.1 mm, and the external conductors and component lead spacing at least 0.13 mm, and conformal coat everything, and IPC says that 90 V or 100 V is fine.07:27
fenni'm sure the conformal coat helps a lot07:27
fenn0.1mm is tiny07:27

fenni have no opinions on xml to json conversion. maybe parse it into a tree with your favorite parser and dump with your favorite dumper?07:37
FourFirekanzure, my point is asking being, that depending on the type of dog noise, it could very well be normal for crows to make it07:37
dcaryfenn: Yeah, even though almost all my circuits run at 5 V or less, I don't think I've ever used less than 6 mil spacing (about 0.15 mm spacing).07:37
dcaryfenn: Yeah, it's pretty linear -- see p. 39 of http://www.the-bao.de/divers/ipc2221.pdf for details.07:37
fenninteresting document07:41
fenna common problem i have is determining the name of a particular common connector07:43
fennthere are a relatively small number of IC packages, but it seems like an almost infinite number of connectors and very easy to order the wrong one07:45
dcaryfenn: It seems that most PCB fabs now claim they can make boards with 4 mil trace / 4 mil space (which is 0.1 mm trace / 0.1 mm space). Picking a random manufacturer from my list, Cirexx claims they can do flex circuits with 0.003 inch trace/gap.07:49

gradstudentbotHis lab is so awkward.07:51
fennif the speed of sound in water is 1484m/s then one wavelength at 10MHz is 0.1484mm so i guess it's possible that we'll need that level of spacing07:53
fenni say "if" because it changes07:54
fenn"In salt water that is free of air bubbles or suspended sediment, sound travels at about 1560 m/s."07:55
cluckjif you're using a small enough tank size, the wavelength changes at (maybe) insignificant digits07:58

dcaryYeah, I heard that all the early designs for the international space station used 20 kilohertz power distribution because it is technically superior to other alternatives considered -- DC, 50 Hz, 60 Hz, 400 Hz.

kanzureyou can do graphs with tables09:57
fenndatabases are all set up for the computer, not for humans. so if you need to go in and fix something, or add an entry, all of a sudden you're editing 15 different tables and saying "is this a unique key" and looking up your object relational model09:57

xmjpeople talking past each other happens so frequently and is sooo expensive.10:51
d3vz3r0yep10:51
fennas i said earlier, i'm not a database expert10:51
fenn"denormalizing" is a stretch10:51
d3vz3r0fenn: I think you are getting terms confused10:51
fenn"denormalization is the process of attempting to optimize the read performance of a database by adding redundant data or by grouping data10:52
xmjdenormalizing is when you take a normalized data model with next to no redundancy and reduce the amount of tables, adding redundant parts.10:52
xmjexactly10:52
fennpresumably this is so you don't have to do a join across tables across database servers10:52
d3vz3r0typically for perforamnce rasons10:52
d3vz3r0no10:52
d3vz3r0well, yes, but not always10:52
xmjwhy would you join across database servers ?10:53
xmjapart from using a foreigh table sorta import?10:53
fenni dont know10:53
xmjfenn: i'd keep a few masters and a few readonly slaves10:53
xmjbut then again I'm no DBA and i'd be better off letting someone do that who really knows.10:53
kanzureor redis replication sets/groups where they figure that out on their own10:53
d3vz3r0he means distributed joins within a sharded SQL engine I think10:53
fennthat centralization is your bottleneck10:53
xmjahh ok10:53
xmji dont know much about sharding10:54
xmjhavent worked with a level of data that made it necessary. our "big data" wasn't so big back then10:54
d3vz3r0butyou know how sets work :)10:54
xmjwell, yes10:54
d3vz3r0it's all just set theory10:54
fennhow is denormalizing not a cache10:55
d3vz3r0simple :)10:55
d3vz3r0haha10:55
xmjeven with a sharded db, it should be invisible to the querying client, no?10:55
dingod3vz3r0 makes shit up all the time don't listen to him10:55
xmjwell maybe in slightly slower read speeds10:55
d3vz3r0in theory, yes10:55
d3vz3r0fuck you dingo10:55
d3vz3r0:)10:55
d3vz3r0just kidding buddy ;)10:55
dingothats mr. fucker to you10:55
dingohey look forward to seeing you later today right10:56
d3vz3r0I think you got promoted to Dr. right?10:56
d3vz3r0yep, I'll be there tonight10:56
dingowho, me? naw10:56
kanzuregoing away party?10:56
gradstudentbotWho got mustard on my cell culture?10:57
d3vz3r0something like that10:57
xmjd3vz3r0: whats your trade?10:57
d3vz3r0hookers10:57
kanzureapproximately true10:57
d3vz3r0:)10:57
xmja pimp that idles on freenode.10:57
xmjnice!10:57
d3vz3r0my trade is computers10:58
kanzurehis trade is models.10:58
xmjthats good, i enjoy the View of a good Model.10:58
d3vz3r0yea, that's probably more accurate10:58
xmjI really want to Control them.10:58
d3vz3r0oh god10:58
xmjbad jokes are sometimes fun10:59
d3vz3r0sometimes10:59
kanzurefenn: what about a strain of bamboo that requires less water10:59
fennkanzure: back to the original question you asked, "do you really want all of your tagged data to be based on ikiwiki's compiler" the user would add the tag data to the file itself10:59
kanzurei don't think that opening up each file and looking through the wiki syntax for tags is a good idea10:59
fennthe compiler only uses the tag data to build a list of pages with that tag10:59
kanzurethere can be thousands or millions of tags attached to an object10:59
gradstudentbotSomeone's sitting at my bench space.10:59
kanzureprobably the mustard fiend11:00
fennwhen you add a tag to a file and save it, the compiler adds the tag to the index for that tag11:00
fennor at least that's how i would do it11:00
kanzurebut then what's my querying interface for 2, 3, 500 tags?11:00
fenndon't do that, asshole!11:01
fennwhy do you need to query for 500 tags11:01
kanzurewhy shouldn't i query tagged data?11:01
d3vz3r0fenn: please don't write software with that approach...11:01
d3vz3r0people will always do things you've never thought of11:01
d3vz3r0and would consider 'dumb', but they have very good reasons for doing what they are doing...11:02
fennthat doesn't mean i have to indulge them11:02
d3vz3r0no, but just don't make your software fall apart because they did something you didn't plan for11:02
fennit wouldn't fall apart11:02
d3vz3r0ok11:02
d3vz3r0I'll believe you:)11:03
fennthis is all hypothetical anyway11:03
kanzuretagging isn't11:03
kanzurei have >50,000 bookmarks11:03
fennhow many tags per bookmark, on average11:03
fennwhat's the median number of tags per bookmark11:03
kanzurenone, because my bookmarks suck11:03
fennoh. that's suboptimal11:03
fennare they in a tree?11:04
kanzuresometimes11:04
fennis it just a list of 50k bookmarks?11:04
xmj21:02:19 < d3vz3r0> no, but just don't make your software fall apart because they did something you didn't plan for11:05
xmjd3vz3r0: you know that joke right? "ATTENTION ATTENTION, User actually uses software for the purpose the developer intended it to be used!!!!"11:05
d3vz3r0tea11:05
d3vz3r0tea11:05
d3vz3r0yea11:05
d3vz3r0fucking typing..11:05
d3vz3r0I've been at this since like 1994, software is *never* used for its intended purpose11:06
fennwhat was the xanadu grid system called...11:06
fenngeneralized search tree? it was some kind of cartesian row/column interface for data of arbitrary and nonuniform number of dimensions11:08
dingohttp://spectrum.ieee.org/img/BASIC-1398952320593.jpg11:08
d3vz3r0Enfilades?11:09
d3vz3r0dingo, that girl is prolly dead now11:09
d3vz3r0fenn: used redis before?11:10
fennno11:10
dingo! use it11:10
d3vz3r0^^^11:10
d3vz3r0use it11:11
fennwhat does it do11:11
d3vz3r0seriously11:11
d3vz3r0and learn how zsets work11:11
dingoit changes the way you write software11:11
d3vz3r0http://redis.io/11:11
fennit's a hash table i can save to disk?11:11
d3vz3r0dingo is right11:11
d3vz3r0no, read the fucking website11:11
d3vz3r0it's a data structure server11:11
dingohttp://redis.io/topics/data-types11:11
d3vz3r0don't hold his hand11:12
d3vz3r0his/her11:12
d3vz3r0its11:12
fennokay set operations are useful11:12
fennit looks like it was designed to be a database for people who realized how bad databases are but couldn't turn their minds back outside in11:18
fennis a sorted set an index of other keys (a list of pointers) or does it actually contain all the data?11:20
dingoits about data structures and alogorithms11:20
dingoit offloads the issue to a "database"11:20
dingoits not about storing data, its about how its stored and retrieved11:20
dingobtree's and all that shit11:20
dingoits malloc() connected to tcp/ip or unix sockets11:21
dingoand then all those silly data structures is just the pudding11:21
fenn"you can use a sorted set with elements having the age of the user as the score and the ID of the user as the value" this sounds like it's just a table11:21
fenni never want to have to dereference a pointer (lookup an ID)11:22
d3vz3r0seriously?11:23
fennis that too much to ask11:23
d3vz3r0yes11:23
juri_absolutely.11:23
fenni'm being oppressed! help!11:24
d3vz3r0I don't know how else to answer that... the concept of a pointer is probably the most fundamental thing in computers11:24
d3vz3r0in CS11:24
-!- dcary [46b171ae@gateway/web/freenode/ip.70.177.113.174] has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]11:26
caternyou could eliminate pointers with laziness maybe?11:28
d3vz3r0magic11:28
d3vz3r0I tried once, but I ended up creating a whole new universe that I ended up having to destroy11:28
d3vz3r0total waste11:28
-!- delinquentme [~dingo@74.61.157.78] has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]11:29
xentracd3vz3r0: you may not be aware of this but people were programming computers for more than a decade before they started making linked lists11:29
fenni thought there was a function to get the pointer of an object in python, but i guess not11:29
xentrac1945-195511:29
xentracfenn: id11:29
d3vz3r0yes, I'm aware11:30
d3vz3r0but they still used symbols and pointers11:30
xentracin a way, yeah: jump addresses and subroutine return addresses, for example11:30
d3vz3r0fenn: you never want that, that's why you  can't get it11:30
d3vz3r0and you can, btw, it's the 'id(..)' method11:30
xentracsubroutines date from about 194511:30
kanzure.py id(object())11:31
yoleaux372169054158952008811:31
kanzureokay then11:31

kanzureah.11:31
kanzurei also would have accepted hex(id(object()))11:32
xentracI forget about hex()11:32
xentracd3vz3r0: and certainly the program counter and addresses of variables inside your program were pointers11:32
d3vz3r0yea, you want to hex it11:32
d3vz3r0exactly11:32
d3vz3r0*we* are symbollic computers11:33
d3vz3r0we are most certainly going to create symbolic computers11:33
d3vz3r0which is what a pointer is11:33
xentraca pointer is a symbolic computer?11:33
d3vz3r0no, a symbol11:33
d3vz3r0sorry11:33
d3vz3r0a symbol that is usedwithin the symbollic computer11:33
d3vz3r0a symbol to another symble11:33
d3vz3r0symbol11:33
d3vz3r0btw, I just started re-reading Godel, Escher, Bach11:34
d3vz3r0so yea11:34
fenngo read some neuroscience :P11:34
d3vz3r0suggestions11:34
d3vz3r0?11:34
d3vz3r0I'd love to11:34
kanzurehm, thinking11:34
fenn"on intelligence" by jef hawkins is a nonstandard but helpful intro11:35
kanzureit is not very neurosciencey, that's more "hierarchical bayesian networks and other obvious things"11:35
fennit shows how the system works though11:35
kanzurealthough he does talk about the visual cortex layers11:35
d3vz3r0ah, cool11:37
fennspeaking of which my brain feels pretty swollen11:37
kanzurewhat about something more specific, like http://diyhpl.us/~bryan/papers2/neuro/Role%20of%20layer%206%20of%20V2%20visual%20cortex%20in%20object-recognition%20memory.pdf11:37
kanzurei guess that one doesn't talk about other possible models of brain matter11:37
pyotrad3vz3r0  You should familiarize yourself with Gerald Edelman11:38
xentracso I think "*we* are symbolic computers" is kind of a narrow view11:38
xentraccertainly we are capable, poorly, of symbolic computation11:38
kanzurexentrac: i'm sure ruldolf steiner would like that view11:38
d3vz3r0sure, I'll accept that11:38
kanzurexentrac: (obscure waldorf reference) http://wn.rsarchive.org/Lectures/OccSigns/OccSgn_index.html11:39
xentracbut I think the failure of 1960s AI shows that most of the cognitive things we do are not done through our symbolic computation abilities11:39
fennthe brain is such a noisy stochastic system that symbolic computation instantly evaporates without supporting infrastructure for the symbolic data11:39
xentracI've been worried about brain swelling a lot lately, fenn11:40
xentracnot my brain11:40
fennarchetypes are the built-in infrastructure, it's why people all believe in dragons and god and straight lines11:41
* kanzure squints11:41
fennbut not very useful for doing math (maybe lines are)11:41
cluckj...11:41
xentracrather the brain of the drunk guy over whose head I smashed a bottle Sunday night11:41
kanzureuh11:41
kanzureso, i don't think we have neurophysiological evidence of archetype whatever11:41
cluckjhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_anthropology11:41
xentracbut I'm pretty sure that the police would have contacted me if anything bad had happened to him11:42
fennmaybe not, but it's too common to overlook these similarities between widely differing cultures11:42
kanzure"essentially that all cultures are equatable" pls not now11:42
kanzurefenn: communication is a thing that happens11:42
xentracyou could call his plan to threaten me and then fight with the police "hminusroadmap"11:42
cluckjkanzure, relatable is a better word11:42
kanzureoh i read it as equitable11:43
fenncluckj: can you say why you linked that page (it's not what i thought it would be)11:43
cluckj<fenn> archetypes are the built-in infrastructure, it's why people all believe in dragons and god and straight lines11:43
pyotralool <xentrac> you could call his plan to threaten me and then fight with the police "hminusroadmap"11:43
xentrackanzure: we don't have much neurophysiological evidence of most cognitive phenomena11:43
fennthat's what _i_ said11:43
cluckjyes11:43
pyotraJeff Hawkins annoys me; and here's why,11:44
-!- superkuh [~superkuh@unaffiliated/superkuh] has quit [Quit: the neuronal action potential is an electrical manipulation of reversible abrupt phase changes in the lipid bilayer]11:44
kanzurexentrac: yes, which is why so many suggestions ("well, clearly the brain is computing based on archetypes") are boring11:44
cluckjI linked it because that's a scientific explanation of what you're talking about11:44
gradstudentbotYeah, it's significant.11:44
xentracgradstudentbot++11:44
gradstudentbotWho the hell stole my pipette?11:44
cluckjhahaha11:44
fenncluckj: that wasn't science, it was baseless philosophical rambling11:45
gradstudentbotYeah, I'm familiar with the technique. Sort of.11:45
pyotraSo crows will bend a wire into a J-shape in order to lift a stopper out of a tube with the "hook" they fashioned.    Crows are birds (not mammals) and hence do not have a cortex at all.   And yet neuroscience has not the foggiest clue how their brains do this.11:46
kanzureunfortunately, neuroanatomy people are universally awful11:46
kanzureso there are things called cortexes that are not what you think11:46
kanzurei'm sure crows have at least one cortex somewhere11:46
pyotraJeff Hawkins  pretension that he has discovered the key to "intelligence" as  a whole must be taken as the snake oil that it is.11:46
xentraclike doctors in 1700 or chemists in 1200, kanzure?11:47
cluckjfenn, it's based on anthropological fieldwork11:47
xentracI have a cortex in each kidney I think11:47
fenni thought it would be something like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Form_constants  a universal human experience11:47
cluckjthe wiki article is kinda trashy (it's wikipedia)11:47
kanzurefenn: it's an alternative explanation other than "neurons are causing this directly"11:47
cluckjyes11:47
gradstudentbotOh, that's problematic.11:47
cluckjinstead of looking down to the neuro level, it's a theory that goes up in the other direction, to bigger things11:47
kanzurexentrac: yes, i'm complaining about how we still don't have a good naming system or way of talking about brain matter parts11:47
kanzurecluckj: human conversation/gossip is bigger?11:48
kanzurexentrac: neuron naming is much better, for some reason11:48
cluckjyes, it's not at a micro-level of analysis11:48
fenncluckj: "Lévi-Strauss' approach arose in large part from dialectics expounded on by Marx and Hegel, though dialectics (as a concept) dates back to Ancient Greek philosophy."  how is this not philosophical rambling again?11:49
cluckjlol, form constants11:49
-!- superkuh [~superkuh@unaffiliated/superkuh] has joined ##hplusroadmap11:49
fennform constants exist11:49
xentrac Log in or create an account to start the Avian neuroscience article, alternatively use the Article Wizard, or add a request for it.11:50
kanzure_archels: is there a good neuroanatomy-specific wiki?11:50
kanzurearticle wizard?11:50
cluckjfenn, in his book on structural anthropology there are actual examples of what he's talking about, not just a philosophical distillation of what he's talking about11:50
cluckjform constants are not the same thing as structural anthropology11:50
kanzurewow what an awful book http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Neuroscience/Neuroanatomy/The_Brain11:50
xentrachowever there is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_consciousness#Birds and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bird_intelligence11:51
cluckjstructural anthropology is about the form and structure that beliefs take, and that those structures of sense and meaning-making are the similar things between cultures11:51
cluckjnot merely the symbols themselves11:51
kanzurepyotra: i haven't been able to convince fenn about the reasons why hawkins is annoying in that sense11:51
xentracand in particular https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bird_intelligence#Brain_anatomy11:51
kanzurehuh, i didn't know the CLARITY method had a longer video published:11:52
kanzure.title https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-NMfp13Uug11:52
yoleauxSee-through brains11:52
fenncluckj: form constants are a genetically encoded geometric pattern that is part of the subjective experience. there are probably others that are harder to demonstrate, but we get them confused with "culture"11:52
xentrac"The basal ganglia only occupy a small part of the avian brain. Instead, it seems that birds use a different part of their brain, the medio-rostral neostriatum/hyperstriatum ventrale (see also nidopallium), as the seat of their intelligence,"11:52
fenncluckj: they might take the form of "dragon" or "line" or "god"11:53
xentrac" The region was renamed to nidopallium in 2002 during the Avian Brain Nomenclature Consortium because the prior name, neostriatum, suggested that the region was used for more primitive functions as the neostriatum in mammalian brains is sub-cortical."11:53
kanzureavian brain.. nomenclature.. consortium.11:53
cluckjfenn, the shapes and symbols that you might see in form constants are a different thing than what structural anthropology addresses11:53
fenni'm saying they shouldn't be11:53
fennif "immutable deep structures exist in all cultures"  aren't genetic, then where did they come from?11:54
cluckjthe particular shapes/sizes/forms of symbols are irrelevant to *how* those shapes/sizes/forms are arranged in a system of meaning-making11:54
xentrachttp://avianbrain.org/atlases.html11:54
cluckj(e.g. culture)11:54
cluckjculture is the system, symbols are the bits that carry meaning inside the system11:55
fennthe form of symbols is irrelevant. in any good coding system your simple symbols are used most often or when they need to be communicated quickly and with minimal ambiguity11:55
fennfuck.11:55
cluckjlol11:55
fennthe form of symbols is NOT irrelevant11:55
cluckjit's irrelevant to how the forms are arranged in a structure11:56
cluckjsomething can look like a dragon in many cultures, but what that form-of-dragon means in many cultures is different11:57
fennyeah because dragons went extinct and we reused the symbol for something else11:57
xentracfenn: ASCII or UCS-4 may not be good coding systems, but nevertheless they work11:57
fennxentrac: why is ASCII not a good coding system?11:59
kanzure"ontological framework for neuroanatomy" http://trac.biostr.washington.edu/trac/raw-attachment/wiki/minutes_6-29-07/OMtalk.6.29.07.pdf11:59
kanzurecc fenn11:59
fennbored already11:59
cluckjalright :P11:59
xentracfenn: by your definition; in ASCII all 128 symbols are equally simple11:59
xentracit's true that symbolic processing of a system that doesn't fulfill your desideratum is more expensive12:00
xentracbut in most cases that doesn't stop it from being workable12:01
xentracso in that sense the form of symbols is of limited, though nonzero, relevance12:01
fennhint to powerpoint users: don't use cyan or yellow text on a white background12:02
fennso kanzure is there a thing that will circle the relevant part of the brain for me when i click on its entry in the tree?12:03
fennxentrac: i think you're confusing symbols with bits? or maybe i am confused12:04
xentracwell, a bit is a symbol, but I was talking about the 7-bit symbols of ASCII12:05
fenna bit doesn't represent anything, so it's not a symbol12:05
kanzurefenn: i think you should be asking that to _archels12:06
cluckjo_O12:06
xentracfenn: I thought about that point of view, but I rejected it12:06
xentracbecause when a bit doesn't represent anything, it's not even a bit either12:06
cluckja bit represents something because of its relation to other bits12:06
cluckj1 means 1 because it's not 012:06
xentracinstead it's some arbitrary analog voltage or RF signal or bias of magnetization12:07
xentracit's at the point that we decide to interpret that voltage or whatever as meaning something that it becomes a bit12:07
cluckj^12:07
xentracand, by the same token, a symbol12:07
cluckjinterpret == assign meaning12:07
fennok a bit is a binary digit12:08
fennascii is mapping binary digits to letters and punctuation12:09
xentracwell, 7-vectors of them, but yes12:09
fennin that mapping it exhibits poor efficiency12:09
xentracyes12:09
fennthe poor efficiency is _because_ it uses 7-vectors for all letters and punctuation12:09
xentracyes12:10
fennbut at mapping bytes to letters, it couldn't be any more efficient12:10
xentracwhy not?  huffman can get you down to about two letters per byte on average12:11
xentrachttp://worldpowersystems.com/J/codes/ talks about some other codes that achieve slightly over 5 bits per letter12:11
xentraclike ITA212:11
fennsure there are only 26 letters and 2^5 is 32 so that's plenty12:12
fenni am just playing dumb12:12
cluckjlol12:12
xentracthat was the reasoning behind ITA2, yes12:12
fennit doesn't explain why huffman codes are efficient though (or arithmetic coding)12:13
cluckjbut it doesn't matter if the letters you're encoding are greek or cyrillic, you're going to be able to do them using the same structure12:13
xentracthat's because, as you said, in any good coding system your simple symbols are used most often12:14
xentracwhich is why the relevance of the form of the symbols is nonzero12:14
fennonly two letters per byte?12:15
fennmost internet traffic is just "lol" and "narf"12:16
ThomasEgimost internet traffic is video data.12:16
fennand <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org12:16
xentracbzip2 can usually get almost three letters per byte12:17
fennThomasEgi: depends whether you count the backbone or the leaf branches12:18
fenni really hope there isn't a lot of video being sent over the backbone12:18
ThomasEgithat's splitting hairs ;). biggest shares go to web and video (with video still growing fast), then there's a bit of file transfering.. the rest is peanuts12:19
cluckjthe rest is lol and narf12:19
cluckjand cat pictures...12:20
fennwhy doent netflix and youtube put their highest viewed videos of the day on local nodes?12:20
fennguh what am i trying to say12:20
fennwhat's the code for "code switch"12:21
cluckjtranslate?12:21
kanzurethey do cdn/caching stuff12:21
fennwhy is video traffic a large part of internet traffic?12:21
kanzuresometimes you have to block your isp's ip addresses so that you can get to the actual youtube servers instead of the cached content12:21
cluckjcat videos > cat pics12:22
gradstudentbotI'm glad you brought that up, I'm going to do that right now.12:22
fennso comcast actually caches youtube videos?12:23
kanzurei'm not sure if it's the isp itself, or if youtbe struck up deals, or if youtube is just using some geographically-distributed cdn service like akamai or what12:23

cluckjfenn, that doesn't tell you about the structure of the system though12:35
cluckjsorry, I had to let some bees off my porch before my cat decided to eat them12:36
fennxentrac: morse code makes so much more sense as a tree than as a table12:37
fennhttp://www.learnmorsecode.com/12:37
cluckjyou might have a nice, neat, biological explanation for why that one particular thing is so popular12:39
kanzure.wik neuronames12:39
cluckjbut that biological explanation is predicated on having already decided that babies are important12:39
yoleaux"NeuroNames is an integrated nomenclature for structures in the brain and spinal cord of the four species most studied by neuroscientists: human, macaque, rat and mouse. It offers a standard, controlled vocabulary of common names for structures, which is suitable for unambiguous neuroanatomical indexing of information in digital databases." — http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NeuroNames12:39
kanzure"BrainInfo helps one identify structures in the brain. One can either search by a structure name or locate the structure in a brain atlas and get information such as its location in the classical brain hierarchy, images of the structure, what cells it has, its connections and genes expressed there. Information can be accessed by any of some 16,000 synonyms in eight languages."12:39
cluckjso cats == babies == reproduction12:39
fenni think it's messier than that12:40
cluckjwhat that can show you is the connections between those different symbols, which is the structure that we were talking about earlier12:40
cluckjoh it's waaaaaay messier than that12:40
cluckjstructural anthro is saying that the connections between those concepts are the structures that make up culture, not the concepts/signs/symbols themselves12:41

kanzurehere is a terrible semantic mediawiki for neuroanatomy: http://neurolex.org/wiki/Category:Hippocampal_formation12:43
@_archelskanzure: wikis do not seem the ideal data structure for describing neuroanatomy12:43

fennyeah, like the butchers diagram of the pig12:47
kanzurethere are actually a number of such lines12:47
cluckjyeah12:47
kanzurebut now you have to apply that line map against the other existing name datasets ;)12:47
kanzureand their names alone don't tell me about which neurons are projecting inwards or outwards12:47
kanzure(and from where or to where)12:47
fennthat's not important for chopping it into pieces12:47
fennjust tell me where to cut12:47
kanzureeverywhere. in 1 micron intervals.12:48
* fenn sharpens furiously12:48
kanzurewhy is it still a mess12:49
fennis there a schematic of the brain? instead of just a circuit layout12:49
kanzuresuperkuh had one..12:49
fenni mean there's no circuit layout either12:49
kanzureit had giant arrows and rectangles12:49
fennbut a description of functions and pathways12:50
@_archelsthe problem is that there are too many "schematics of the brain" and we don't know how to integrate them12:50
cluckjooo rectangles12:50
kanzureyeah, a circuit graph would be much nicer12:50
kanzureand then you can just do clustering or whatever12:50
fennit's common to have multiple schematics of a complex circuit12:50
cluckjso a map of the connections would be much better than a map of names12:50
cluckjhmmmmmm12:50
fennolaf sporns did some stuff based on white matter tracts (diffusion tensor imaging)12:52
fennbut that's like, data12:52
kanzurewhy is data bad?12:52
fennit's expensive to communicate verbally12:53

cluckjthank you youtube for archiving those valuable insights12:55
kanzurehuh, ok "could wearable technology that counts words heard (a key indicator of cognitive development) be used to improve quality of early childhood education?"12:56
kanzureyes i guess word counting would be a nice metric to have12:56
fennwords heard?12:57
fennyou mean words spoken?12:58
kanzureclearly there might be problems if no words are heard or spoken12:58
kanzureoops i mean "and"12:58
fennotherwise your wearable device has to dig into the brain to see if the words were perceived or not12:58
kanzurei'm okay with someone not talking, but how can they hear if nobody speaks to them?12:58
fennright12:59
kanzure(fuck talking)12:59
cluckjirc 4 lyfe12:59
fennbut they could be as dumb as a rock and have lots of words be spoken to them (this counts as words heard)12:59
kanzurefenn: i think that's fine13:00
fennor they could be deaf and the metric is useless13:00
@_archelskanzure: those lift videos are hilarious13:00
cluckjor you could be mute and the metric is useless13:00
kanzure"number of words spoken, in plain sight of eyes"13:00
fennok i shouldn't have used "dumb" to mean "low cognitive development"13:01
fennfuck english13:01
