| genehacker | So I'm wondering something about sensory nerves, is there a sensory nerve that goes straight to the spine from a mechanoreceptor(1 nerve per mechanoreceptor) | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| genehacker | or is the sensory information encoded and then sent along the nerve(several mechanoreceptors per nerve)? | 00:00 |
| katsmeow-afk | afaik, they aren't that long, and they do combine near the skin,, ie they tree out from the spine | 00:01 |
| katsmeow-afk | it's been shown that as your body enlarges from birth, you have fewer c-afferent unmylinated sheaths per inch | 00:02 |
| genehacker | so is there a dedicated path for sensory information from one mechanoreceptor to the spine? | 00:02 |
| katsmeow-afk | yeas | 00:02 |
| genehacker | many different paths | 00:02 |
| katsmeow-afk | there's 3 groupings, pain, non-pain, and motor | 00:02 |
| genehacker | dammit why don't I know this | 00:03 |
| genehacker | are they bundled together? | 00:03 |
| katsmeow-afk | well, a path per your personal unit of being able to distinguish pain sites in proximity to each otehr | 00:03 |
| katsmeow-afk | in some places they are bundled separately, iirc, the area of the ankle the motor ans sensory bundles take difefrent paths | 00:04 |
| genehacker | damn I was sort of hoping for some sort of preprocessing being done at the mechanoreceptor to cut down on the number of nerves | 00:04 |
| katsmeow-afk | iirc, the motor bundle runs down the front and over the foot, the sensory bundle runs behind the ankle and up under the foot | 00:04 |
| genehacker | now how do they send different signals down the same path? | 00:04 |
| katsmeow-afk | they don't | 00:05 |
| katsmeow-afk | [00:02] <katsmeow-afk> there's 3 groupings, pain, non-pain, and motor | 00:05 |
| katsmeow-afk | [00:03] <katsmeow-afk> well, a path per your personal unit of being able to distinguish pain sites in proximity to each otehr | 00:05 |
| genehacker | now that's interesting | 00:05 |
| genehacker | and useful | 00:05 |
| katsmeow-afk | it's why capscacin can target the pain nerves and not motor or non-pain nerves, for instance | 00:06 |
| katsmeow-afk | they are simply different | 00:06 |

| genehacker | cool so you can make a dextrous robot hand with simple touch sensors.... | 00:08 |
| katsmeow-afk | ok | 00:08 |
| genehacker | I really need to lurk moar | 00:09 |
| katsmeow-afk | would you learn more by lurking? | 00:12 |

| fenn | heh, on news right now: al qaeda plotting to use explosive breast implants | 01:14 |
| katsmeow-afk | that sounds a lot more painful than the vaginal/anal supositories the Irish used | 01:22 |
| katsmeow-afk | at least till they discovered the explosives detonated at 99F | 01:22 |
| katsmeow-afk | there was one survivor as far as i know | 01:22 |
| fenn | you'd think they would have figured it out after the first time | 01:23 |
| katsmeow-afk | well, they wrapped them to be ,, "material" tight, and tranfered them quickly, this one case tho she was held back for searching and questioning, passed, and exploded leaving the police area | 01:24 |
| katsmeow-afk | walks with a limp now | 01:24 |

| fenn | your lines are plotted wrt the wrong axis | 16:54 |
| kanzure | does your.flowingdata.com just look for words in your rss feed? | 16:55 |

| kanzure | oh man. nope | 16:57 |
| kanzure | not sure how to change the axis for the lines | 16:59 |
| fenn | try "with lines"? | 17:00 |
| kanzure | same result | 17:00 |
| fenn | it's plotting wrt some semi-random parameter (probably the order in the file) | 17:00 |
| kanzure | oh | 17:01 |
| kanzure | fooey | 17:01 |
| kanzure | the order in the file is all out of whack for some reason | 17:01 |

| kanzure | wonder if i can smooth it out with weekly averages | 17:05 |
| fenn | http://t16web.lanl.gov/Kawano/gnuplot/datafile3-e.html seems to imply that you have to just sort the file | 17:05 |
| fenn | hey that looks pretty good | 17:05 |
| fenn | there does seem to be a strong weekly periodicity | 17:06 |
| fenn | on the "learned of" category - weird | 17:07 |
| fenn | every 5 days | 17:07 |
| kanzure | wonder what's going on here | 17:07 |
| kanzure | every fifth day, people spontaneously come into my life? | 17:08 |
| fenn | a sure sign of a demonic pact | 17:08 |
| kanzure | heh | 17:08 |
| kanzure | i was expecting something more smooth like a sinusoid | 17:09 |
| kanzure | but a spiking diagram makes more sense i guess | 17:09 |
| kanzure | i am, practically, a big fat neuron | 17:09 |
| fenn | i wonder if i should suggest something or if it will slowly drive you insane three months from now | 17:10 |

| kanzure | hm? | 17:10 |
| fenn | well, maybe a day isnt short enough time resolution | 17:10 |
| fenn | i mean if you want to see what your action potential spike looks like | 17:11 |
| kanzure | there's a lot of other flaws with this too | 17:11 |
| kanzure | for instance, if i talk with the same people multiple times on the net in the same day in different instances, i don't capture that | 17:11 |
| kanzure | i also don't capture topic, word count, line count, time between messages | 17:11 |
| kanzure | although my chat logs *do* capture time between messages | 17:11 |
| kanzure | except my irc logs (minute-based resolution at the moment) | 17:12 |
| kanzure | my other chat logs have it down to the second, and usually show my responses are within 5 or 6 seconds | 17:12 |
| kanzure | dunno how to integrate that though | 17:12 |
| kanzure | if i was better with my email, i'd have it auto fed into it | 17:12 |
| kanzure | s/fed/feed/ | 17:12 |
| kanzure | sadly i can't seem to use smtp/ipop to grab the latest messages in my inbox. google insists on its own order or some such | 17:14 |
| kanzure | how do i grep and show the surrounding lines? | 17:21 |

| kanzure | a guy named jules is suggesting i trash openscad and just do everything in povray | 17:54 |
| kanzure | and use xembed to take povray input and convert to some other file format output | 17:54 |
| fenn | there really isnt much difference between openscad and pov-ray except pov-ray is a lot better :\ | 17:55 |
| fenn | (and openscad outputs stl) | 17:56 |
| fenn | but it doesnt seem unreasonable to expect pov-ray to output stl | 17:56 |
| fenn | i dont get the xembed reference | 17:57 |
| kanzure | now with code commits: http://designfiles.org/~bryan/meetlog/2009-01-01_to_2010-03-01-lines-code.png | 17:57 |
| kanzure | i only got "kanzure" not "bryan bishop" from the code commit logs | 17:58 |
| kanzure | so that's why it randomly starts in the middle of 2009 | 17:58 |
| fenn | i'm not sure number of commits really means anything | 17:58 |
| kanzure | it does not. :/ | 17:58 |
| kanzure | i could do lines.. but then i'm just a code monkey | 17:58 |
| kanzure | and deleted lines should count for something | 17:59 |
| fenn | heh | 17:59 |
| kanzure | commit timestamps is better than lines | 17:59 |
| fenn | every time you delete a line and it passes unit tests, you get 50 points | 17:59 |
| kanzure | yay | 17:59 |
| kanzure | ooh unit testing information | 17:59 |
| fenn | i think buildbot and friends save that sort of data | 18:00 |
| kanzure | i think it could also be done with filter-branch, if i have sufficient ninja power | 18:00 |
| fenn | no you just need to checkout | 18:00 |
| ybit | http://code.google.com/p/freerep/ :: "FreeREP is an opensource community project to build a free software CAD/CAM math library. " | 18:00 |
| kanzure | "GtkGlExt and Gtk are the only required dependencies, and even then, only for the test application. " that scared me for a second | 18:01 |
| kanzure | fenn: i'm tired of file format wars. wah | 18:03 |
| kanzure | why haven't you fixed this yet | 18:03 |
| fenn | sorry was i supposed to be paying attention to something? | 18:04 |
| kanzure | just the whole mesh vs. brep vs. csg stuff and how nobody on om seems to understand | 18:04 |
| kanzure | and then these new openscad people on the scene | 18:04 |
| kanzure | "oh openscad is wonderful! it converts to stl!" | 18:05 |
| kanzure | apparently there is no parametric CAD format other than solidworks' sldprt format according to.. uh. well not vitaly, but it might be leo dearden or thomas fledrich | 18:05 |
| fenn | i'm sorry that there's not an easy answer | 18:05 |
| kanzure | i'm annoyed and i'm having trouble justifying being annoyed, so this compounds my annoyance | 18:05 |
| fenn | maybe you should write a wiki page and point people at it every time this discussion comes up | 18:06 |
| kanzure | "oh why don't you just write a genetic algorithm to reconstruct the boundary representation of the STL mesh object" | 18:06 |
| fenn | oh its so fucking easy | 18:07 |

| fenn | lol | 18:27 |
| fenn | well at least his code's readable | 18:27 |
| kanzure | i guess if he makes it a service/daemon and drops it into /etc/init.d or something, i'd feel slightly better | 18:28 |
| kanzure | but still | 18:28 |
| fenn | nah that screams "cron job" | 18:28 |

| kanzure | holy crap that URL sucks | 18:41 |
| fenn | i bet todd huffman really does have a secret island somewhere | 18:42 |
| kanzure | maybe we can triangulate it by tracking where he appears in public | 18:44 |
| kanzure | and then focusing in on some center point | 18:44 |
| kanzure | knowing how awesome todd is, he's probably intentionally poisoning that data | 18:44 |
| fenn | hmm still cant tell if this is a fictional persona or not: http://squarehaven.com/people/Jeriaska/ | 18:47 |
| fenn | i see a belt-fed machine gun in one of those photos | 18:47 |
| fenn | a bit strange for a video game journalist | 18:48 |

| kanzure | bahaha updated http://designfiles.org/~bryan/okcupid/match.data | 19:23 |
| kanzure | hm maybe openscad+heekscad would get people excited enough to listen | 19:32 |
| fenn | okcupid matches you up with 100% enemy people? | 19:34 |

| kristianpaul | kanzure: http://www.k-3d.org/ | 19:40 |
| kanzure | looks like a mesher | 19:40 |
| kristianpaul | ahh you dint knew it? | 19:40 |
| fenn | k3d didnt actually work when i tried it | 19:42 |
| fenn | but that was like 6 years ago | 19:42 |
| kanzure | i'm trying to figure out if my hatred of openscad is my gag reaction to anything new | 19:43 |
| kanzure | or if it's genuine | 19:43 |
| kanzure | so far it seems genuine | 19:43 |
| kanzure | (the hatred seems genuine) | 19:44 |

| kanzure | maybe i should just avoid CAD from now on, for dependency resolution purposes there is no need for CAD | 19:59 |
| kanzure | but.. it does help for generating instructions "guhh this goes here" | 20:00 |
| kanzure | and for generating gcode | 20:01 |

| kanzure | STL feels like a compiled binary, and the implicit geometry feels like source code | 20:03 |
| kanzure | and all these damn stl enthusiasts are like programmers that don't know about source code, because they're too busy writing in damn-near-machine language to care | 20:04 |
| fenn | they dont care because it's all one-off art trash | 20:04 |
| fenn | nobody's reusing pieces in a meaningful way | 20:04 |
| kanzure | are they capable of reusing pieces even if they wanted to? | 20:05 |
| fenn | yes i think mso | 20:05 |
| fenn | not parametrically, more like cut and paste | 20:05 |
| kanzure | why isn't there a parametric solution out there yet | 20:05 |
| kanzure | i really thought STEP is parametric | 20:05 |
| kanzure | but it turns out the internal references don't make it parametric | 20:05 |
| fenn | yeah i am confused on that part | 20:05 |
| kanzure | ok so it's not just me | 20:05 |
| fenn | there sure are a lot of pointer-like data structures in the step format for it not to be parametric at all | 20:06 |

| kanzure | totem *is* the worst video player ever made, it's true | 20:13 |
| fenn | i can think of a few that are worse | 20:19 |
| kanzure | realplayer, helix, .. | 20:19 |
| fenn | i.e. just about every web flash player | 20:19 |
| kanzure | windows media player | 20:19 |
| kanzure | flash | 20:19 |
| QuantumG | as soon as you make a media player even slightly more complex than "play and stop" people have trouble using it. | 20:20 |
| fenn | we've just been spoiled with mplayer, that's all | 20:20 |
| kanzure | :) | 20:20 |
| QuantumG | I think Totem reflects that mindset. | 20:20 |
| fenn | nah i just want the damn thing to play without stuttering or fucking up in any obvious way | 20:20 |
| kanzure | also i want my ascii mode >:o | 20:20 |
| fenn | 1.75x speedup with pitch shift correction is a nice bonus too | 20:21 |
| fenn | i wish i could do halfway pitch corrected to take advantage of higher audio bandwidth at higher frequencies but havent figured out an easy way to do that | 20:21 |
| fenn | guess i can use the scale= option to scaletempo? | 20:22 |

| fenn | that is pretty cool | 21:02 |
| kanzure | i'm ok with one-off artsy bullshit being made as a mesh | 21:06 |
| kanzure | but the popularity with that method will make people think that's the way they should do everything | 21:06 |
| kanzure | heck even vitaly falled for it | 21:06 |

| kanzure | hell he used google fecken sketchup :( | 21:08 |
| kanzure | contraptor.org gets a lot right, sketchup and the format is the only thing that i see terribly wrong | 21:12 |
| fenn | more from the eyeseecam guy.. i thought this was pretty funny (mostly because of the bad acting) http://vimeo.com/1538086 | 21:13 |

| fenn | how to make some kind of gaze-tracking telescope with voice coils and mirrors | 21:14 |
| kanzure | how is it that we can't even convince vitaly | 21:16 |
| kanzure | they think it's just a roadblock that will eventually be overcome | 21:16 |
| kanzure | "oh it will get solved" | 21:16 |
| kanzure | but if everybody takes that attitude, nothing is going to get done | 21:16 |

| kanzure | if a girl did a graph like that, would she have to factor out mood swings? | 21:37 |
| fenn | i'm not sure i see the point | 21:38 |
| kanzure | some girls report significant emotional variation during their periods | 21:39 |
| fenn | yeah but, sorry to get all philosophical, are those emotions any less real than when not under the influence of naturally produced hormones? | 21:39 |
| ybit | 19:47 < fenn> ok hiccupping with broken/otherwise damaged ribs really sucks | 21:39 |
| ybit | ^ made me chuckle | 21:39 |
| fenn | a pox on your head | 21:40 |
| kanzure | fenn: i didn't say don't record the data | 21:40 |
| kanzure | fenn: it depends on what you're trying to figure out from the data | 21:40 |
| ybit | 20:20 < kanzure> also i want my ascii mode >:o | 21:41 |
| ybit | so did that | 21:41 |
| kanzure | so did what? | 21:42 |
| fenn | i delegate ybit to act as kanzure's backup in the mesh vs CSG/BREP/whatever argument (if it is even an argument) | 21:43 |
| ybit | kanzure: that too made me chuckle | 21:44 |
| kanzure | what? | 21:44 |
| kanzure | confusion | 21:44 |
| kanzure | i want to apply for that blue brain project position | 21:45 |
| kanzure | however, i do not seem to have a phd | 21:45 |
| ybit | whois jon pry? | 21:45 |
| fenn | i might be getting confused but i think he's an engineer at a pcb fab shop in midwest, hangs out in #cam | 21:46 |
| ybit | kanzure: you comment on wanting ascii mode | 21:46 |
| ybit | your* | 21:46 |
| ybit | well that works | 21:46 |
| kanzure | mplayer has an ascii mode is what i meant to imply. | 21:47 |
| ybit | it was implied | 21:47 |
| ybit | the joke was understood | 21:47 |
| fenn | i wouldnt mind ascii mode for other things | 21:47 |
| ybit | thus the ensued chuckling | 21:47 |
| kanzure | "so did that" meant "that made me chuckle" | 21:48 |
| kanzure | ok got it | 21:48 |
| kanzure | oh shit | 21:52 |
| kanzure | ben geortzel can give me a recommendation to markram | 21:52 |
| kanzure | apparently they know each other | 21:53 |
| fenn | what do you want to do on bluebrain exactly? | 21:54 |
| kanzure | they have a phd position opening | 21:54 |
| kanzure | or, postdoc actually | 21:54 |
| kanzure | but presumably i'd want to hang out with them for a few months at least | 21:54 |
| fenn | you should come up with something better than "hang out" | 21:55 |
| kanzure | hm you're probably right | 21:55 |
| kanzure | everybody and their dog is probably applying | 21:56 |
| fenn | yep | 21:56 |
| fenn | i dont think any scientific projects get more media attention | 21:57 |
| kanzure | LHC? | 21:57 |
| fenn | i said scientific projects :P | 21:58 |
| kanzure | *ouch* | 21:58 |
| fenn | odd how the more money something has thrown at it the less actual science they end up doing | 22:00 |
| kanzure | anyway i think it would be nice to have me involved in that, even if for a while | 22:03 |

| fenn | but apparently i have to answer an infinite number of questions | 23:48 |
| fenn | great it matched me up with a lesbian hacker from kansas :\ | 23:50 |
