kanzurehuh. method of calculating system availability: http://www.eventhelix.com/RealtimeMantra/FaultHandling/system_reliability_availability.htm (not surprising, but interesting.)12:02
kanzurehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fault_tree "In the technique known as "fault tree analysis", an undesired effect is taken as the root ('top event') of a tree of logic. There should be only one Top Event and all concerns must tree down from it. "12:04
kanzure"The Tree is usually written out using conventional logic gate symbols. The route through a tree between an event and an initiator in the tree is called a Cut Set. The shortest credible way through the tree from fault to initiating event is called a Minimal Cut Set."12:05

kanzurehm, so SME is having someone from Freescale to come and talk17:05
kanzuredon't know if that's a good idea.. freescale nearly killed my dad :)17:05
xp_prgkanzure do you like patents and copyrights on dna/cells etc.. ?17:12
kanzureno17:21
* kanzure is reading over the liquid thin film papers17:21
kanzureliquid thin film motor papers17:21
kanzurehttp://heybryan.org/books/Manufacturing/Liquid%20Film%20Motor.pdf17:21
xp_prgkanzure do you know what dna/cells are not patented?17:21
kanzure https://fossbazaar.org/content/david-rowe-open-hardware-business-models17:21
kanzurewtf bad paste sorry. 17:21
kanzureno, but I'd just ignore those types of patents and legal bullshit17:22
xp_prgthat is how I feel too17:22
kanzurehttp://heybryan.org/books/Manufacturing/Liquid%20Film%20Motor%20-%20part%202%20-%20Rotating%20Electrohydrodynamic%20Flow%20in%20a%20Suspended%20Liquid%20Film.pdf17:22
kanzureso in this effect, water undergoes rotational motion due to tangental velocities at the edges of the rectangular box in which it is placed17:23
kanzureI'm wondering though to what extent it would be possible to control the shape or pattern of the rotational motion by switching multiple electrical fields, or something17:23
kanzure"17:25
kanzure- the theoretical work leads to at most one steady vortex in a container, but the experimental results show both one and two. The two vortex results may, of course, be transient."17:25
kanzure"17:25
kanzure- the theoretical results have flow speeds largest at the outer boundary. The experimental results have it increasing towards the center. This may be explainable by other effects, such as surface tension, but it is a discrepancy."17:25
kanzure"That device sounds like a parietal accelerator [mhdprospects.com] wound into a loop. French scientist Jean-Pierre Petit suggested it would make an ideal submarine propulsion method."17:26

fennlol xp_prg just doesn't learn19:21
xp_prgwhat you talking about fenn?19:21
fennyour repeated requests for a list of "safe" cells and dna19:22
fenngive it a couple days between repeat postings at least19:23
xp_prgwhy does it take so long?19:24
xp_prghow can people not know this?19:24
fennbecause most people don't sit at their computers constantly waiting for email from DIYbio19:28
fennand there are millions and millions of "safe" organisms.. so you are putting the burden of deciding what you want on their shoulders19:28
kanzurefenn: how should I deal with these recent Nathan issues?19:33
kanzureI am thinking of replying with this:19:35
kanzure"In particular, most of the programming and engineering work has gone into the construction of the pipeline and toolchain tools (yay for verbal redundancy). In particular, this is so that engineering doesn't take place on wikis, or in videos, or in crazy-ass weird places where it doesn't really belong. So, that's partly why I have been having such a negative reaction to your recent links to wiki articles and requests for us to do all of the legwork for you re: googling up tutorials related to development toolchain technologies."19:35

fennhe's not trying to do engineering on a wiki, it's documentation19:43
fennit's "why should we care about these projects you're working on"19:43
fennbut in a persistent format, not a mailing list19:43
fennreally he should be copying old posts from OM or openvirgle to his wiki page19:43

kanzureman how I hate to think about money. should I go ask andrew hessel for money?22:22
kanzureor something?22:22
kanzureI'm so confused, my mom called to yell at me today about bad grades, and fearmongering about being out on my own over the summer22:22
kanzureso should I go say "Please give me money" ?22:23
kanzureor something?22:23

fennthe great thing about bootstrapping is you get to do it over and over again!22:37
kanzurehm, it's 6 months out from PA's side of things.22:40

kanzureWhat's up?23:32
kanzureDo we know you? :)23:32
katmeow1no, fenn does tho23:32
katmeow1he invited me a couple days ago,, Monday nite, i think it was23:32
katmeow1but i can go if i shouldn't be here23:33
kanzureneat23:33
kanzurenah, just wondering23:33
kanzurealways nice to poke at a new person.23:33
katmeow1so what happens here? fenn was vague23:33
kanzurethat depends, what context was he vague in?23:34
kanzureheh23:34
katmeow1the context was "what happens in here"23:35
kanzureI guess that's what I get for asking a vague question about a vague issue.23:35
kanzureAnyway, we do engineering, programming, pissing and moaning, all sorts of fun stuff.23:35
katmeow1ah23:36
kanzureit's kind of hard to summarize23:36
katmeow1well, i was welding earlier, and doing a lil lite coding, does that count?23:36
kanzurehm, was it good code?23:36
katmeow1it did as it was told, i spose so23:37
kanzurethat'll do.23:37
katmeow1and i fed the cat spagetti23:37
kanzureyeah, I was playing around with construqtor earlier today for instance23:37
kanzureas a way to do some automated design involving joints and bars/linkages.23:37
katmeow1that sounds nix-y23:37
kanzureI'm a very *nix person23:37
kanzurehttp://code.google.com/p/construqtor/23:38
katmeow1i have never gotten a working nix instal :-(23:38
kanzureare you local?23:38
kanzurethat's something that can be fixed.23:38
katmeow1depends on how "local" is defined23:38
kanzureaustin23:38
kanzureI'm trying to figure out if he was out and about on Monday night23:39
katmeow1not too far, i guess, a day's drive23:39
kanzureblah, I'm not responsible for keeping track of fenn. that's ybit's job this month.23:39

kanzuresomewhat, but also just because of beginning to obsessively keep a log.23:42
UtopiahGHMLsoon we'll need to keep a metalog, a log of what you log, and see how effective each were and how globaly it affected us :-#23:43
