| kanzure | I'm only up to page 13, but so far its' nice | 11:04 |
| kanzure | *it's | 11:04 |
| kanzure | not sure how the long action names given on page 11 work .. I guess they are expecting only humans to be doing the maintenance and thus an action with a name like "grasp-a-steering-wheel" or "sit-with-foot-on-the-accelerator-pedal" isn't completely crazy. | 11:05 |
| kanzure | they have this "parameterized action representation" that they are using. each par has some tests to determine whether or not the action is applicable in a certain 'scene' or situation. | 11:06 |

| kanzure | gimme a sec | 11:34 |
| kanzure | pg 40 has "figure 23" .. I think the "trees" thingy (last line) is how they are able to determine whether or not that user's capability (from a capability list) match what the instruction generator intended | 11:35 |
| kanzure | the meaning of that snytax was explained earlier in the document however | 11:35 |
| kanzure | not sure why they chose to be so cryptic about it (everything else is clear, so why not the lexical stuff?) | 11:35 |
| kanzure | fenn: seems to. | 11:35 |

| kanzure | "IronPython is ".NET-native" -- so it will be preferable if you want to fully integrate your Python code with .NET all the way; Python.NET works with Classic Python, so it lets you keep your Python code's "arm's length" away from .NET proper.

| fenn | ok apparently that wasn't the right keyword | 19:49 |
| ybit | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carboxy | 19:50 |
| fenn | no, this is a mix of CO2 and O2 | 19:50 |
| ybit | this was one of the first acids i studied in some chem clas | 19:51 |
| ybit | ah, i see | 19:51 |
| fenn | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbogen | 19:51 |
| ybit | Carbogen was once used in psychology and psychedelic psychotherapy to determine how a patient would react to an altered state of consciousness or to a sensation of loss of control.[4] | 19:52 |
| ybit | i react terribly in this scenario | 19:53 |
| ybit | well, i get used to it though i don't like it | 19:53 |
| fenn | maybe you should go skydiving instead | 19:53 |
| ybit | that i wouldn't mind | 19:53 |
| ybit | minus the fee which could be used more wisely | 19:53 |
| ybit | fenn, didn't you say you were going to upload 5-7 + Metal Cutting Bandsaw.pdf? :) | 19:56 |
| ybit | o.O Build a Coil Winding Machine.pdf | 19:56 |
| ybit | so cool | 19:56 |
| fenn | did I? well ok.. | 19:56 |
| fenn | Bandsaw is messed up btw | 19:56 |
| ybit | yeah you did and you said there would be a special surprise which i wouldn't expect (Build a Coil Winding Machine.pdf | 19:57 |
| * ybit wonders how one would go into business for him/herself | 19:59 | |

| ybit | the editor(s) in the book from today said there was enough money to be made for paying the bills and some | 20:00 |
| * ybit wonders if some diyers would like custom fabricated microfluidics devices to toy around with | 20:01 | |
| * ybit wants to work for himself or possibly with friends | 20:01 | |
| ybit | any38051773: you mentioning that you mostly use 1/8 rods awhile back helped me today | 20:02 |
| genehacker | well of course we do ybit | 20:05 |
| ybit | not necessarily always the case, most people prefer not to be bothered with running their own business, it's a little time consuming | 20:06 |
| fenn | ybit ETA 2 hours, will be at ybit2.tgz | 20:09 |
| genehacker | so do you have a microfluidics machine that I can download plans for? | 20:09 |
| ybit | i have a photlith + other machines, you provide the design, i can fabricate the device | 20:11 |
| genehacker | you have a photolithography machine? | 20:12 |
| genehacker | where'd you get it? | 20:12 |
| genehacker | do you have borosilicate plates? and a machine for fusing them together? | 20:13 |
| fenn | i have a self replicating nanoassembler, just send the designs and i'll get right on it | 20:13 |
| genehacker | what file format? | 20:15 |
| genehacker | will .pdb work? | 20:15 |
| genehacker | got a frictionless bearing I'd like to test | 20:16 |
| fenn | STEP-XML plz | 20:16 |
| genehacker | ok | 20:16 |
| fenn | oops i mean STEP-NC-XML | 20:16 |

| genehacker | so ybit do you have borosilicate plates or not? | 20:17 |
| genehacker | and can you do greyscale lithography? | 20:18 |
| genehacker | all I care about is borosilicate | 20:21 |
| ybit | huh, seems i'll be doing some castin in about two weeks since we have those capabilities at the junkyard, w00t | 20:28 |
| ybit | sorry, genehacker, was on the phone.. not sure if we have borosilicate glass or not, will check tomorrow | 20:29 |
| ybit | i'm 90% certain we can do grayscale lith | 20:30 |
| ybit | black and white, sure, grayscale, i'm a hesitant to say for sure | 20:31 |
| ybit | -a | 20:31 |
| ybit | fenn: humor wasn't lost :) | 20:32 |
| fenn | ybit: step-nc is supposed to be able to run any kind of machine tool | 20:32 |
| ybit | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STEP-NC that i didn't know about | 20:33 |
| genehacker | so what are you using for masks? | 20:34 |
| genehacker | if you are using masks then this may not work out | 20:34 |
| genehacker | the cost may end up being prohibitive | 20:35 |
| fenn | ybit before you go off making lots of patterns and kneading sand, take a look at http://buildyouridea.com/foundry/lost_foam_howto/lost_foam_howto.html and uh, not fennetic.net | 20:35 |

| ybit | genehacker: it's a plastic transparency film | 20:37 |
| genehacker | uh... | 20:38 |
| genehacker | are you using any optics | 20:38 |
| ybit | yeah | 20:38 |
| genehacker | to reduce it? | 20:38 |
| genehacker | and do you align the film? | 20:38 |
| ybit | yes | 20:38 |
| ybit | don't know | 20:38 |
| ybit | haven't used it | 20:39 |
| ybit | let me get back with you tomorrow when i'm not mostly using my male intuition which tends to get me in trouble :) | 20:39 |
| genehacker | well if you can etch borosilicate it might be useful | 20:39 |
| genehacker | might make an NPPOC-Cl production reactor | 20:40 |

| katsmeow | heh | 20:41 |
| ybit | :P | 20:41 |
| ybit | nice link fenn | 20:41 |
| ybit | we have quite a bit of aluminum to work with, my dad was saying something purifying the alluminum, the more pure, the higher you can charge | 20:42 |
| ybit | din't quite catch it all, my mind was wondering | 20:43 |
| ybit | he knows quite a bit about this kind of stuff | 20:43 |
| ybit | katsmeow: do you have the plans for your boat already? | 20:44 |
| katsmeow | prolly good histrength scrap from "used" rocket engines up there? | 20:44 |
| katsmeow | the plans? | 20:44 |
| ybit | we have tons of scrap, whatcha need? | 20:44 |
| katsmeow | nono,, you need scrap aluminum | 20:44 |
| katsmeow | i thinked | 20:45 |
| ybit | oh yeah, that's what i'll be starting with | 20:45 |
| * katsmeow ponders dinner | 20:45 | |
| genehacker | casting? | 20:45 |
| ybit | may i suggest friskies fine cuts tuna in sauce? | 20:45 |
| genehacker | you know you can calculate solidification time with Chvorinov's rule? | 20:46 |
| ybit | genehacker: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casting | 20:46 |
| ybit | okay, just making sure | 20:46 |
| genehacker | I'm learning about casting | 20:46 |
| * katsmeow wipes up the drool | 20:46 | |
| ybit | :P | 20:46 |
| ybit | genehacker: in the intro to manufacturing class? | 20:47 |
| genehacker | yup | 20:47 |
| * ybit is jealous | 20:47 | |
| ybit | mostly that you have a book that i don't have ;) | 20:48 |
| ybit | feel free to send it my way when the class is over | 20:48 |
| fenn | <- not impressed by dead dudes' names | 20:49 |
| fenn | "The mold constant B depends on the properties of the metal, such as density, heat capacity, heat of fusion and superheat, and the mold, such as initial temperature, density, thermal conductivity, heat capacity and wall thickness." none of which we're going to tell you how to actually calculate | 20:52 |
| genehacker | NO I WILL NOT GIVE YOU MY BOOK | 20:52 |
| genehacker | it's large and massy | 20:53 |
| fenn | i don't want your dead matter anyway | 20:53 |
| fenn | how the hell do you pronounce "chvorinov"? | 20:53 |
| ybit | Phreedom ? | 20:54 |
| genehacker | ch vor i nov | 20:54 |
| ybit | works for me | 20:55 |
| genehacker | t_s=C(V/A)^2 | 20:55 |
| genehacker | is the rule | 20:55 |
| genehacker | V= volume of the casting | 20:55 |
| genehacker | A=exposed surface area | 20:55 |
| genehacker | C is a constant | 20:55 |
| genehacker | just wiki it | 20:56 |
| fenn | yar. so as i was saying earlier about casting, i wrote up some crap here http://fennetic.net/machines/lostfoam | 21:05 |
| ybit | 20:51 < fenn> "The mold constant B depends on the properties of the metal, such as density, heat capacity, heat of fusion and superheat, and the mold, such as initial temperature, density, thermal conductivity, heat capacity and wall thickness." was from the wiki entry | 21:05 |
| fenn | genehacker: it's the "just a constant" part that bugs me | 21:05 |
| fenn | what good is calculating something if it varies unpredictably? | 21:06 |

| bkero | You awnt a project to practice welding? | 21:59 |
| katsmeow | weld up a better wheeled cart for your new welder ;-) | 21:59 |
| ybit | katsmeow: that's already on the list :) | 22:01 |
| ybit | http://www.metalwebnews.com/howto/cart/cart.html and there are some on miller's site | 22:02 |
| ybit | http://www.millerwelds.com/interests/projects/ideagallery/in-the-shop/ | 22:02 |

| genehacker | speaking of electric bikes | 22:29 |
| bkero | Electric cars do need battery racks | 22:29 |
| bkero | and they're often the toughest part | 22:29 |
| genehacker | I need a way to get from point A to point B(distance: ???) in less than 10 minutes | 22:30 |
| genehacker | distance= <0.5 miles | 22:30 |
| bkero | Standard bicycle is easiest | 22:30 |
| bkero | and can easily do that | 22:31 |
| genehacker | bicycles need to be locked up | 22:31 |
| bkero | so lock it up? | 22:31 |
| genehacker | this takes time | 22:31 |
| bkero | Locking up a bicycle will take under 30 seconds | 22:31 |
| genehacker | I have to secure both wheels | 22:32 |
| bkero | Is theft a problem on your campus? | 22:32 |
| genehacker | I think so | 22:32 |
| bkero | Even with locking it up a bicycle is easily the fastest and most accessible | 22:32 |
| bkero | It takes less time to lock up a bike than it does to walk to your destination from a parking lot. | 22:33 |
| genehacker | I'm considering powerskates | 22:33 |
| bkero | and carrying them into class with you? | 22:34 |
| genehacker | why not? | 22:34 |
| bkero | Because I'd rather not carry wet muddy skates into class with me | 22:34 |
| bkero | and my bag is 3lb 2oz | 22:34 |
| bkero | The skates would be quadrouple that | 22:34 |
| genehacker | mud isn't a problem where I am | 22:34 |
| bkero | It never rains where you are? | 22:34 |
| genehacker | nope almost every surface is concrete | 22:35 |
| bkero | Even with concrete, mud will still come from somewhere | 22:35 |
| genehacker | plus I just want some way to get around besides walking | 22:35 |
| bkero | Seems much more inconveient than a bike | 22:35 |
| genehacker | point taken | 22:36 |
| bkero | Motorized skateboard, scooter, bicycle, jetpack | 22:36 |
| genehacker | I tried the scooter option | 22:37 |
| genehacker | it was impractical | 22:37 |
| bkero | Scooters are pretty awkawrd | 22:37 |
| bkero | I'd only recommend an oversized one powered by an electic motor | 22:37 |
| bkero | Electric motor | 22:37 |
| genehacker | nearly impossible to ride a scooter with a backpack | 22:37 |

| bkero | I have a gas bicycle kit and an electrical bike kit I've pieced together. | 22:37 |
| genehacker | jet packs are impractical because of fuel requirements | 22:38 |
| genehacker | perhaps I could make a magnetic harpoon and latch onto cars and use that to pull me a long | 22:39 |
| genehacker | just like in snowcrash | 22:39 |
| genehacker | oh wait | 22:39 |
