ybitpicture of the house from google, can get a decent view of the sideyard where a mad scientist garage can be placed :) 00:59

ybitcan't decide if i want in neighborhood or on the land recently purchased from grandfather01:00
ybitoh right, ZZzzz01:02
ybitproblem with that house is that it isn't in my name, so i would have to follow the owner's rules (mum), and it's in neighborhood. the land i have now is ~ 3.3x that size and it's in my name, but it's just land.. and i'm guessing a min. of $40k will have to be put in it. Right now, I'm having a tough time figuring out how to get that kind of money to plunk down from my own pocket01:05
ybitstock, savings, it's all ~0 at this time :\01:08
ybitconvincing 5 people to put in $70/month for 5 years gets me about $21k, enough to build a mudhut.01:08
ybitor about 10 shipping containers.01:09
ybitbut getting 4 other people to do so is the hard part01:09
* ybit wouldn't mind living in that junky house for 5 years and storing stuff in the garage in the meantime01:10
ybitkatsmeow-afk: if you don't mind me asking, how did you pay for your house?01:11

bkeroGirl flashed the mob01:39
bkeroTHen police came01:39
ybitoh, b00bs, why didn't you say so? :P01:39

katsmeow-afkso i thought a desc of a dimm was a maistake, but i got the stuff,and it says 2.6v, i wanted 2.5v, and if ddr = 2.5v , ddr2 = 1.8v, and ddr3 = 1.5v , what's 2.6v?13:39
ybitddr413:42
ybitkatsmeow-afk: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDR_SDRAM#Chips_and_modules13:42
katsmeow-afkit says DDR, not DDR413:42
* ybit was paid to play around with linux for the second time in his life-time today13:42
ybithmm13:43
ybitwell it's wrong13:43
ybitor else it really doesn't do 2.6v13:43
katsmeow-afkbut which is wrong, the 2.6 or the DDR ?13:43
* katsmeow-afk looks for a hammer13:43
ybitkatsmeow-afk: i'm guessimating the minimum cost for a house is going to be near 35k, from your experience building, how close am i?13:45
katsmeow-afki dunno, i built as i had money, and didn't keep track, but $10/sqft at least13:45
bkeroIf you're building a domicile I'd recommend a dome or yurt. :)13:45
katsmeow-afkdepends on layout and material types13:45
bkeroMuch cheaper13:45
bkeroAlso can use less dead trees13:46
katsmeow-afkor A frame13:46
katsmeow-afkin western culture tho, anything other than square tends to waste space13:46
bkeroIf you're wasting the space though, you're not doing it right :/13:47
katsmeow-afki agree13:47
katsmeow-afkwestern culture does not do everything right13:47
bkeroI don't think I'll ever be able to afford a house around here13:47
ybitbkero: thanks, i forgot about the hexayurt, that's something to consider13:48
bkeroSo I'm getting a plot of land with some friends.  Some of us are doing concrete-spray domes, some of us are doing earthbags, and some of us are erecting yurts.13:48
bkeroybit: Most yurts aren't perfectly round.  Many look like low-poly cylinders13:48
katsmeow-afkspray isn't costing a small fortune?13:49
bkeroNah13:49
bkeroOnce you get a frame up with chicken wire, spraying costs a few thousand13:49
bkero< $4k13:49
katsmeow-afkanotehr option is a bubble house, you lay a slab on a large balloon, and before the contrete hardens you inflate the balloon13:50
bkeroThat sounds difficult13:50
katsmeow-afki would feel beter with more than chicken wire, at least real concrete 6inch mesh wire, and preferably with at least 1/2 inch rebar13:50
bkeroI was just going to dig a giant hole, toss the remaining dirt in bags with a 10% concrete mixture, then stack them dome-shaped, then stucco over it.13:51
katsmeow-afknot as difficult as spray, if you don't have the spray equipment13:51
katsmeow-afkeww, i tried that for chinking, the 10% + dirt, it was a waste of cement, it makes for a water soluable house13:51
genehacker2well they got a bunch down here13:52
bkeroThe only equipment I'd need is a bagger13:52
genehacker2or at least in the general locus of the place that sells em13:52
bkerokatsmeow-afk: It really depends on the kind of dirt you're bagging, some is good for it, some isn't.13:52
katsmeow-afkok13:52
katsmeow-afksave on bags, use rammed earth?13:52
bkeroNot really as resilient13:52
katsmeow-afkor rammed bricks?13:52
katsmeow-afkok13:52
bkeroRammed bricks work, but you need to seriously waterproof the outside13:53
genehacker2how about those foam brick concrete composite things that are people are starting to use13:53
katsmeow-afki meant rammed bricks with cement, and you already said stucco13:53
bkeroYea, the stucco with bags is so it doesn't look like ass though, not so much the insulation or waterproofing13:53
bkeroIf you have the proper soil you don't even need any cement mixture13:54
genehacker2make walls out of these foam block things with steel between em and stack em to make molds for concrete walls13:54
bkeroand if you like squares you can do stuff like http://www.motherearthnews.com/uploadedImages/articles/online_articles/2005-12-01/Earthbags21.gif13:54
bkero...that actually looks pretty nice13:54
genehacker2I think curved forms are available13:55
bkeroFriday chowdah!!!13:57
bkero<313:57
katsmeow-afki used stone-look mobile home underskirting as poured cement molds, and topped with vertical slab pours i cut (before it set up fully) with abrasive disk to resemble cut stone13:58
ybithttp://hexayurt.com/ these aren't so bad, in one video, the guy says it's a 12 ft diameter yurt, and it looks plenty tall. could toss up several of these, each having a specific purpose13:58

katsmeow-afkhmm, Tiggr has the http://www.motherearthnews.com/uploadedImages/articles/online_articles/2005-12-01/  but not that gif ,, damned fatal memory allocation errors13:59
ybityou would spend about 13k for ~4k sq ft if you were to go the hexayurt route.14:00
ybitwhat concerns me is the insulation14:00
ybitand how well is it bound to the foundation, is there a foundation, etc.14:00
katsmeow-afkinsulation could be your most expensive item,, vs energy for hvac will be your most expensive operating cost14:01
katsmeow-afkbkero, what are tose bags made of, and how do the bags tie themselves together as the cement hardens in them?14:02
ybithere http://www.motherearthnews.com/Do-It-Yourself/Earthbag-Building-Garden-Shed.aspx?page=614:04
katsmeow-afkybit, if you plan on heavy equipment, you will have a slab at least14:04
ybithere's page 1 http://www.motherearthnews.com/Do-It-Yourself/Earthbag-Building-Garden-Shed.aspx14:05
katsmeow-afkthe bags are not in the building materials list14:12

genehacker2WOOHOO FOR PATENTS14:13
katsmeow-afk are woven?14:13
katsmeow-afkbtw, ybit, HomeDepot orange buckets are great for mixing cement, you can make a holder with a 2x2 plywood with 2 1ft cleats in a V shape to hold the bottom of the bucket into with a toe of a foot, as you mix with a stucco/plaster paddle mixer in a 1/2 double-reduction drill14:15
katsmeow-afkbest use 2x4ft 3/4 ply, so you have space to stand on the ply too14:16

katsmeow-afkoh14:27
katsmeow-afki used  my idea up on scaffolding, it didn't weigh anything14:28
ybitwish i was told this before mixing over a 1000lbs of concrete in january though :P14:28
katsmeow-afkouch, winter is hard on cement14:28
katsmeow-afkand hands14:28
ybitit built muscle, i felt like a man's man, more so than i typically that is, because we all know how manly i am, right?... :)14:34
ybiti i i i grrr14:34
katsmeow-afkyea yea14:34
ybit16ft diameter earthdome or yurt is about the right size14:52
katsmeow-afkfor a home or a shop?14:54
ybitshop14:54
katsmeow-afkwhere do you put a 12ft lathe in a 16ft circle and still use the space around it?14:55
ybitthat's a massive lathe14:55
katsmeow-afkok, anything 12ft long14:55
ybityou put it in a clearspan hangar14:55
katsmeow-afkor 10ft14:55
ybitspeaking of, i need to call before they close14:56
katsmeow-afkbut you don't have a clearspan hangar, you built a 16ft yurt14:56
ybitthen you weren't thinking very straight when you built it14:56
katsmeow-afkof course not, a yurt is round!14:57
genehacker2wait a second14:59
genehacker2do you have the lathe?14:59
katsmeow-afka) it's motorless atm b) tableless too14:59
katsmeow-afkoh, and not 12ft long15:00
genehacker212 ft lathe for real?15:00
genehacker212 ft wide?15:00
katsmeow-afki did say no,, but i know a place that has several15:00
katsmeow-afkthey do truck driveshafts in them15:01
genehacker2oh15:01
genehacker2why are you going to do with a 12 ft lathe?15:01
katsmeow-afkbig boat places have them too, for prop shafts15:01
genehacker2make propellor drive shafts I presume15:01
genehacker2you might want a friction welding machine15:02
genehacker2the shipbuilding industry uses those a lot15:02
katsmeow-afki might? because i saw or know of places, i might want one?15:03
genehacker2friction welding makes nice long welds15:03
genehacker2and can also be used to weld dissimilar metals15:06
katsmeow-afkok15:07
ybit21.3k for a 55ft width, 90ft length clearspan construction15:09
katsmeow-afkkool, a 32Mbyte x 374bit memory module15:09
ybitthe guy on the phone had a neat idea, put the clearspan.struct. on top of shipping containers to give a little more clearance15:10
ybit$21.315:11
katsmeow-afkybit, in a hurricane, i think you'd wished you'd not done the shipping containers15:11
ybitluckily we only have to deal with those every other year ;015:11
ybit;) **15:11
bkerokatsmeow-afk: The bags can be made of a few things, let me look that up.  THey're sewn together at the top.15:11
bkeroand then laminated closed15:11
katsmeow-afkhowever, you could bolt it to the tops of 2ft thick stub walls 5ft tall15:11
ybitbut yeah, you're right15:11
katsmeow-afk2ft thick stub walls will keep humans from driving thru them with a forklift to stealstuff for scrapmetal recycling15:12
ybitheh, good luck getting to them with a forklift15:13
katsmeow-afkand hold them down,, a 55ft wide span will make for a huge sail15:13
ybitsecurity is #1 priority before anything goes there15:13
katsmeow-afkgood luck? you will need a worklift or heavy overhead traveling crane to get stuff in and out15:14
* ybit will have to rent those15:14
katsmeow-afki need to go outside and do things irl :-((15:14
katsmeow-afkan overhead traveling crane can be made cheap enough, and can go places the forklift cannot15:15
katsmeow-afkbbl15:15
ybitwhen you get back, katsmeow-afk, if i haven't posted links to diy cranes, i want details :)15:16
genehacker2now what are you guys trying to do?15:16
genehacker2set up a manufacturing center in the country?15:16
* ybit is still on this weeks' kick: building a lab15:17
ybitgenehacker2: yeah, no building codes or neighborhood rules15:17

katsmeow-afka Intel Pentium 4 EE 3.72 GHz Prescott,3724/266,925XE,DDR2-533 is 10x faster than a AMD K6-2+ 550 Chompers,550/100,MVP3,SDR100 16:50
bkeroHehe16:59
katsmeow-afk10x faster in 10 yrs, that means they get 1x faster per year,,,, which means 10mips x 1 = 10mips the 2nd year, and 10mips x1 = 10mips the 3rd year,, math doesn't lie?17:01
Utopiah1x faster , smart Intel 17:01
katsmeow-afksouthwest coast of .nz is getting 50ft waves atm17:02
bkeroAnd pumps out about 10x as much heat17:04
katsmeow-afkimagine if they did!17:05
katsmeow-afkfor the same thruput17:05
katsmeow-afka new P4 doing 5x the work, putting out 250 watts of heat (5x 50w of a P1)17:05
bkeroPentium 3's were introduced in 1999.  If we compare them with Core i7s, they're a hell of a lot faster than 10x.17:06
* katsmeow-afk nods17:06
katsmeow-afki gave the url for 2004 tests because i was interested in the single core benches17:06
katsmeow-afkeither browse the site for new benches, or replace 2004  in the urlwith 2008 or 200917:07
bkeroK6/K6-2's kind of sucked17:07
* katsmeow-afk needs to go back outside a while17:07
bkeroK7's are where athlons started handing intel their pants17:07
katsmeow-afkbut then the P4 hands the pants back? wait, does that means the Athlons wears the pants in this race?17:08
bkeroP4's never really performed that well against athlons :P17:09
bkeroEspecially not if you factored price into it17:09
katsmeow-afkthey do on that bench17:09

katsmeow-afkwell, i am up to buying 5 yr old puters atm,, or i was, till some guy came along and is offering $120 for these things17:10

bkeroFor modern performance17:10
bkero$100 quad core 2.6GHz Athlon 64, $60 motherboard, $20 case, $20 RAM17:11
katsmeow-afkbut what software uses 4 cores?17:27
bkeroYour operating system17:27
bkeroFirefox is going to start very soon, it already uses 217:28
katsmeow-afkwinxp is single threaded, i thought17:28
bkeroAn OS can't be really17:28
bkeroIt can block on certain things, but still execute things in parallel17:28
katsmeow-afkso what good are multiple cores?17:28
bkeroFor instance, svchost handles services, that's a process that can run on one core, explorer.exe can run on another, firefox can run on a third, etc17:28
katsmeow-afkoh17:29
bkeroThere's just a big pool of processes17:29
bkeroIt's ordered in a queue17:29
bkeroand when a process needs to do something, there's a handler at the end of the queue that tells the process to "go to the freest core"17:29

ybitseems no friends are willing to contribute captial to the project, just sigs :-\17:38
ybitfor some reason, i receive awkward reactions when i mention a garden, well, and solar panels17:39
katsmeow-afksolar panels barely pay for themselves, and some won't17:39
ybitgo on17:40
ybiti realize they are expensive 17:40
katsmeow-afkbuying them now makes sense only in terms of future price hikes in electricity and devaluation of the dollar17:40
katsmeow-afkand scarcity of silicon cell ingredients17:40
katsmeow-afkand with the EPA yesterday saying they will start clamping down on pollution from large point sources (read: coal power plants) electricity costs WILL go up again soon17:41
katsmeow-afkso far AlaPwrCo has gotten out of improving power plants built 60 yrs ago17:42
genehacker2what about nanoantenna solar cells?17:42
katsmeow-afkwhat about them?17:43
katsmeow-afkthe 2009 cpu charts don't show Atoms or ARMs17:44
bkeroTomshardware is too stupid to know ARM exists17:45
bkeroand no idea why they don't show Atoms17:45
bkeroOh yea, and all of their tests are closed source and cost money, which means you can't compile them for ARM17:45
genehacker290% efficient(over a narrow range of frequencies), could work at night(they work in the infrared spectrum especially the the range which stuff heated up in the day emits), are made of metal patterned how hologram stickers are made17:45
ybitbtw katsmeow-afk, how are you planning on powering your boat? small turbines in the bottom?17:45
ybit(just a guess)17:45
katsmeow-afkgenehacker2, kool, where can we get them?17:45
genehacker2but they only produce unusuable high frequency AC at the frequency of infrared light17:46
genehacker2ohio national laboratories17:46
katsmeow-afkybit, i have 10 solar panels, a couple car engines, and i wanna try turbines (i have a couple plain turbine wheel disks), and otec,, sails, wind17:46
katsmeow-afkwhy is it unuseable?17:47
genehacker2it's high frequency AC current that's oscillating at the frequency of infrared radiation17:47
genehacker2it's unrectifiable17:47
katsmeow-afkso? will it go down a wire?17:48
genehacker2yeah17:48
genehacker2I think so17:48
katsmeow-afkthen it can make light and heat?17:48
genehacker2yeah but what good is a solar powered light bulb?17:48
katsmeow-afk[17:46] <genehacker2> 90% efficient(over a narrow range of frequencies), could work at night17:49
genehacker2oh yeah17:49
katsmeow-afkbesides, "inside" is not "outside in the sun"17:49
katsmeow-afkand if the power will go down a wire, then it can go into and be concentrated in a convertor tomake a easier-to-use form17:50
genehacker2how do you rectify something oscillating at the frequency of light?17:50
katsmeow-afkyou don't, i think17:50
katsmeow-afkwhy do you wanna keep doing that?17:50
genehacker2I don't know if it can go down a wire17:51
genehacker2I want DC current 17:51
katsmeow-afk[17:49] <katsmeow-afk> so? will it go down a wire?17:51
katsmeow-afk[17:49] <genehacker2> yeah17:51
katsmeow-afki know you want dc, but if it's 98% effcient in collection, can you waste 10% to convert it to dc and still come out ahead?17:52
katsmeow-afksay "yeas"17:53
genehacker2ok17:54
katsmeow-afkThe nanoantennas consist of tiny gold squares or spirals set in a specially treated layer of polyethylene, a common plastic. <<== poly won't last one year outside in the sun17:56
genehacker2well yeah17:57
genehacker2at a dollar per square foot, you can't go wrong17:57
genehacker2but it looks like the cooler applications are cooling stuff with these things17:57
katsmeow-afkyeas, you can, labor to replace the entire array17:57
genehacker2convert the radiated heat from your computer chip to electricity and have a laptop that runs a long time17:58
katsmeow-afkwon't work, the cpu hasto have the heat sucked from it into something cooler, not radiated into the air17:58
genehacker2the CPU emits infrared radiation18:00
genehacker2if the radiation is turned into electricity then the net heat flow is to the solar cell18:00
katsmeow-afkif the cpu can do without the heatsink with forced air, then why do we have all cpu with heatsinks and forced air?18:02
genehacker2unfortunately you still can't convert all the heat into electricity though18:02
genehacker2heh guess so18:02
genehacker2I guess one could use some sort of heat pump to pump the heat to a thermal accumulator18:03
genehacker2to increase it's temperature so that it incandesces18:03

fennwill it cure me?20:43
genehacker2no20:44
genehacker2I think I found a problem with lunar replicators 20:44
fennnot enough chlorine i hear20:44
genehacker2the only practical way to weld large dissimilar metal plates for chemical pressure vessels and other pressure vessels is explosion welding20:45
fennwhy dissimilar?20:46
genehacker2corrosion resistance 20:46
genehacker2extreme environment resistance20:46
fenni dont get it20:46
fennwhy would you weld dissimilar metals20:46
genehacker2to make clad20:46
genehacker2which is necessary for some extreme environment applications20:47
genehacker2particulary in oil refineries and chemical plants and cryogenics plants20:47

kanzurealter ben and i were walking around in new york 20:52
kanzurewe had just left the 2600 meetupo20:52
kanzure*meetup20:52
kanzureand michael anissimov recognized me on the streets20:52
kanzurehe was hailing a cab20:52
kanzureand i asked where he was going, and he said the VIP meeting20:52
kanzurehe was dressed in a suit and tie20:53
kanzureso i called ben goartzel and said that i had lost my baggage and thus didn't know the address20:53
kanzureso he kindly explained how to get there20:53
kanzureand then i showed up in jeans and a t-shirt20:53
genehacker2sounds like a social hack20:53
kanzureyep that's exactly what it was20:53
kanzureanna saw me there and her brain blew up20:54
genehacker2anna who?20:54
kanzureshe and i lived together for a few weeks in 200820:54
kanzureanyway20:54
genehacker2sounds like you're having fun20:54
kanzurethey were handing out "speaker packets" to every one20:54
kanzureand some poor kid was handing them out, he didn't know anything20:54
kanzureso i asked him, very loudly, where mine was20:54
kanzurethen i asked eliezer directly where my speaker-packet was20:54
kanzuresince i was supposed to deliver a talk20:54
kanzure(of course, i wasn't)20:54
kanzurebut now i think if i just start talking tomorrow maybe someone will listen20:55

kanzurenow i have all these business cards stuffed in my pocket20:56
genehacker2nice20:56
kanzure"give me an email and i will give you money. this is not the martini talking."20:56
kanzurehere's my theory about these social parties20:56
genehacker2for real?20:56
kanzurethey are all crammed into very tiny apartments/pads20:56
kanzureso you have to yell at the top of your lungs to get anybody to hear it20:56
kanzurepoor anders sandberg could barely hear me20:56
kanzureand when you yell, you sound smarter or something20:56
kanzurebecause of all of the background noise20:57
