kanzure"Vinay Gidwaney, research affiliate, synthetic neurobiology group of MIT00:04
kanzureMedia Lab and co-founder of Energy Inside, has found a way to make sad00:04
kanzurepeople feel ..."00:04
fennto make them feel what?00:04
kanzureEVEN SADDER00:04
fennJOY! i mean SAD!00:05
fenndelicious self pity00:05
kanzureskdb/web/web.py is bloaty and it sucks00:06
kanzurepiny would have been a good replacement but the target platform is a little off (wiki compiler, perl, etc.)00:06
fennpiny == ikiwiki?00:07
kanzureall i want is something that serves up content from /var/git/ (or some other directory)00:07
kanzurepiny is jrayhawk's crud on top of ikiwiki00:07
kanzurepresumably for a project management platform or something00:08
kanzurejrayhawk: ping00:08
kanzurei want a python-based ikiwiki without necessitating compiling or anything like that00:08
kanzureand then skdb tools can be thrown into a plugin dir or something00:08
kanzureuser accounts on this web environment should be linked to linux users on the system (none of this "custom user database" bullshit)00:09
jrayhawkso you'd just be serving up raw markdown?00:09
kanzurebut also allowing online anonymous wiki edits to the content (not impossible)00:09
jrayhawkthey have a tool for that, it's called "a web server"00:10
kanzureno, i'd probably throw it through a markdown parser before showing it to the user00:10
jrayhawkwhat? you just said you didn't want to do that00:10
kanzureGET and POST requests correspond to different scripts running on the server to spit out and pretty up content00:11
kanzure(ideally)00:11
jrayhawkokay in what way would your parser not be compiling something00:11
kanzurethis is stupid. i was talking about ikiwiki00:11
kanzurewhich compiles files through some parser (etc.) and then generates more static files00:12
kanzurewhich it then serves up00:12
fennseems like a pointless implementation detail00:12
kanzurei don't wanna anticipate every possible user request00:12
fennwho cares if it caches the output00:12
kanzurebecause the parameters will supposedly be unique each time?00:12
fennbut they won't00:13
kanzurereally? consider an inventory system for computing what hardware a user has and what hardware the user requires00:13
fennwhy would you use a wiki for that00:13
kanzureinventory.yaml would be under revision control and able to be edited from the web just like everything else, in this proposed setup00:14
jrayhawki am not really the person to help you code up anything and your desires are basically incoherent to me at this point so i am just going to say "have fun with that!" and move on00:14
kanzure(of course, inventory.yaml is specific to the user or to the server (i don't know which yet))00:14
kanzurejrayhawk: fair enough, buut i was hoping you could dump a few notes on what piny is in terms of project management00:15
kanzureyou did so in omg but not in here (i know, i should just go copy and paste)00:15
kanzurealso: i'd like to point out that i said "without necessitating compiling", which isn't the same as "nothing should be compiled"00:16

kanzurei imagine some wordpress and drupal plugins would be a good example of things more complicated than (templating language -> fancy html output)00:17
jrayhawkOh, most of the project management methodology involves aggregating tagged metadata inside the markdown on both pages and rss feeds such that it can be managed with rss2email (this i am already doing with ikiwiki elsewhere) and also shoving development email archives into the git repo such that they can also be processed by the compiler for publishing and metadata extraction.00:18
jrayhawkThe "shoving mailing list archives into ikiwiki" thing is something I only have plans for at this point.00:18
kanzureis there stuff in piny for managing multiple ikiwiki installations over the web?00:18
kanzure*or should there be stuf00:18
kanzure*stuff00:18
jrayhawkSorta. Everything I've planned out is in that page I linked you.00:19
kanzurehttp://piny.be/piny-code/architecture/needed_user_facing_infrastructure/00:19
jrayhawkYeah.00:19
jrayhawkThere already exists a web configuration frontend to Ikiwiki, but it looked dangerous for my mass-hosting purposes.00:20
jrayhawkI'd probably wind up reimplementing safe portions of it.00:20
jrayhawkOr thieving safe portions of it.00:20
kanzuremaybe i just have a bad case of NIH00:22
jrayhawki suspect that exists in you due to evolutionary pressures that drive creativity and exploration00:23
-!- klafka [~klafka@cpe-66-66-5-254.rochester.res.rr.com] has joined #hplusroadmap00:25
jrayhawkto be fair i basically consider ikiwiki to be unmaintainable by anyone but Joey, and that does worry me00:28
jrayhawk(the quick project management methodology summary above sorta assumes you're sufficiently familiar with DVCS to understand the immediate benefits of keeping everything inside of version control, including bugs and mail)00:30
kanzureno, i think bugseverywhere (and others) are pretty neat00:31
jrayhawk(and your public web content, of course)00:31
kanzurefenn: halp, what should i do00:35
jrayhawkcalendaring would be an interesting addition00:35
jrayhawkI guess that could be pulled off with with KathrynAnderson's plugins as is.00:37
jrayhawkI should give that a shot.00:37

fenni don't personally want to maintain a git-based wiki system, so uh, try to find someone else who is doing it already?01:27
fennsorry i dont have any good advice01:28
kanzurejacob wants to make a radio-sensitive promoter01:33
fenni dont think that's physically possible01:34
fennnot without serious molecular understanding of macrostructures and development01:35
fennwhat's wrong with optical frequencies?01:35
kanzureforrest was reporting to me from diybio-houston01:36
-!- Forrest [~F7@c-98-201-172-235.hsd1.tx.comcast.net] has joined #hplusroadmap01:38
ForrestHey Brian, I'm in.01:38
JayDuggerSpeak of the devil, welcome, Forrest.01:38
kanzurehello01:38
kanzureso, the meeting went well?01:38
ForrestVery, Two new bio majors came in, one active in her own research, also a CS student.01:39
ForrestWe mostly talked about what it might take to get a radio sensitive promoter01:39
kanzure01:35 < fenn> what's wrong with optical frequencies?01:40
ForrestThey're easily blocked01:40
ForrestTrying to go longer01:40
fennwhat are you trying to do exactly?01:40
ForrestJacob was talking about a HeLa study where the cells went apeshit in response to cell phone radiation01:41
klafkainteresting01:41
JayDuggerWhat does "apeshit" mean in this context?01:41
fennlink or it didnt happen01:41
ForrestThey thrived01:41
ForrestI'd call jacob but I don't think he's a night owl by any stretch01:42
fenntbh this sounds like conspiracy paranoia bullshit, just my opinion01:42
JayDuggerI'm less skeptical than fenn, but go on.01:42
ForrestHe was just going to look at expression and see if any particular MRNAs popped out01:43
Forrest if so, that's something to go by01:43
Forrestif not, find a new project maybe01:44
JayDuggerCan he reproduce the effect?01:44
fenni would start by trying to replicate the experiment01:44
kanzuredo you mean he wants to use these dubious reports of cell phone radiation inducing effects in cells as a way to find radio-sensitive promoters?01:44
kanzureor is he trying to prove cell phone radiation propaganda stuff01:44
ForrestYeah.01:44
Forrestwait no01:44
kanzure;lkfdsjfads01:44
fenn-_-01:44
Forrestbut he thinks that something might be radio sensitive01:44
JayDuggerAnd does he still beat his wife? ;)01:44
fennand have you told your mom you're gay01:45
JayDuggerOkay.01:45
kanzureJayDugger: i was just trying to figure out what we're talking about01:45
JayDuggerHas anyone reproduced the effect?01:45
kanzureif jacob was fixating on cell phones, i'd be concerned01:45
kanzurebut honestly it wouldn't be far-fetched to be generally fixating on radio-sensitive promoters01:45
ForrestI don't know much about it, just a general plan of action 01:45
kanzurewhatevs01:45
kanzureanywho, what else?01:45
ForrestTalking about thermocycler designs01:46
fenni'm sure there are radio sensitive phenomena in biology, but why would it have anything to do with ovarian cancer cell culture?01:46
kanzurehave you read the threads on diybio re: thermocycler designs?01:46
kanzurethere's been a good 150+ posts on the topic in individual threads from time to time01:46
ForrestI'll get a look. I was just going on the stuff that was figured out when Merideth was over here01:47
ForrestI was thinking about casting some aluminum so that it'd take an epi tube01:48
ForrestAnything for an excuse to get a foundry burning at the hackerspace here01:49
fenni'd suggest making something like an idaho "glass capillary tubes arranged around a lightbulb"01:49
kanzurefenn: one of the things i was thinking of for opensciencefund.org was skdb packages in .git repositories with metadata pointing back to a "tracker server" (an installation of piny, skdb/web/web.py or something) which counts and tracks monetary pledges (like kickstarter except distributed)01:49
fennthey to a lot of fancy machining on the blocks to reduce its thermal mass01:49
ForrestI noticed, part of the reason I'd like a cast part01:50
kanzurethis way you don't have monetary pledges to .git repositories on random places across the web01:50
fenni dont think pledges should be kept in revision control01:50
kanzurethey won't be01:50
fennwe dont have a distributed money system with which to implement it01:51
kanzuremore like a line saying "main server is at: http://blah.org/"01:51
kanzureand then they can access that server to get back deets like how much has been pledged01:51
fennok fine01:51
kanzure(or at least this is the best that i have come up with so far)01:51
fennhow about oshwbank01:52
fenndoes it actually do anything yet?01:52
kanzureno, they just use a giant .ods file01:52
kanzurehttp://oshwbank.org/01:52
fennblah ok nevermind01:53
kanzure:(01:53
kanzurehow the *hell* does a spreadsheet make wired magazine?01:53
fennby misrepresenting what it actually is01:54
fenni mean it certainly looks like a functional website01:54
kanzureheh i like the recent xkcd re: geoip01:56
fennthey seem to have gotten rid of the page that explains wtf is going on01:56
kanzurethey're a front for liquidware01:57
kanzureJayDugger: star wars is still good for something http://xkcd.com/709/01:58
Utopiahbeside oshwbank and the upcoming OpenScienceFund.org , are there other "community funding" solution focusing on "open" projects? maybe for other domains?01:59
JayDuggerI have a standing New Year's Resolution from 2006: never discuss religion with co-workers.01:59
kanzureJayDugger: here's a challenge: only discuss religion with co-workers when the religion is neither yours nor theirs01:59
kanzuremost people can't seem to discuss sufficiently diverse religions though02:00
JayDuggerNot only does it prevent arguments, it conceals gaps in the corpus from which this chatbot draws responses. :)02:00
kanzureUtopiah: awesomefund maybe02:00
JayDuggerI save that for my sister, with her Theology degree from a Jesuit school.02:00
UtopiahJayDugger: I made my own "chatbot draws responses" http://fabien.benetou.fr/AutoDebate/ReligionVsScience02:00
fennsupposedly fundscience but i think they are barking madly in all directions02:01
fenns/barking/galloping/02:02
fennbarking in a forest?02:02
kanzurei'm not convinced about crowdfunding in general02:02
kanzurewho cares what the crowd thinks02:02
kanzurei have some robot armies to make02:02
fennyeah whatever happened to the good old days when radicals just robbed banks02:02
kanzuresrsly02:02
Utopiahok, thanks02:02
ForrestIt works sometimes.02:03
kanzurethe joker never had to open up a kickstarter.com account02:03
kanzurehe just robbed the god damned bank02:03
kanzureand got to work ASAP on his robot toy armies02:03
JayDuggerUtopiah, in my experience, arguing rationally about faith constitutes an error of the Porcine Music Lesson class.02:03
ForrestJacob got his funds to make that gumball machine reactor02:04
JayDuggerAs in, teaching a pig sing annoys the pig and wastes your time.02:04
fennthe joker wasn't real. i was thinking more like the symbionese liberation army02:04
Forresthe hasn't gotten around to it yet..02:04
kanzureForrest: but it doesn't matter if "it works sometimes"02:04
JayDuggerArguing from fictional evidence, anyone? :)02:04
kanzurewhat?02:04
kanzuresymbionese liberation army wasn't fictional IIRC02:05
fenngo back and read what i just said02:05
JayDuggerYou can't seriously cite the Joker (or your imaginary character of choice). SLA existed02:05
JayDuggerSLA existed, yes.02:05
kanzureok so your comment was specifically aimed at me?02:05
fennyes02:05
kanzuremakes sense now02:05
JayDuggerMine aimed at you and those who cite faith or revelation in an argument.02:06
JayDuggerI meant it to tie together the thread with Utopiah and the thread of your remarks.02:07
JayDuggerI usually fail in those attempts, generating non sequiturs instead of insights.02:07
fenni wonder if i should just not talk to people at all unless they're agnostic or atheist02:08
fennotherwise they haven't demonstrated a basic level of cluefulness02:08
fennand what's the point?02:08
kanzurei don't think you should start by asking if they meet basic qualifications before you talk with them02:09
kanzurei tried that02:09
JayDuggerI suggest you avoid that, Fenn. 02:09
fenn"hey, believe in god?"02:09
fenn"are you a god-botherer?"02:09
fennplease provide rationale for shooting down my idea02:10
fenni think the world needs more militant atheists02:10
UtopiahJayDugger: I dont expect "believers" to actually read and agree with it but at least it feels less frustrated that completly avoiding the dicussion because I talked about it so many times before (but with other persons)02:10
Utopiah\less frustrating than02:10
JayDuggerMany people react badly to militant atheism.02:10
fennmany people react badly to anything they disagree with02:11
ForrestMany people react horribly to militant theists02:11
JayDuggerYes, and you've better things to do with your time than argue with fools?02:11
fennJayDugger: that's the whole point02:11
Utopiahyes, but I still want to be able to improve my arguments in an organized fashion if I can02:11
fennyes, i have better things to do with my time02:11
kanzurego back to work02:12
fenni was thinking about drugging myself to sleep02:12
JayDuggerUtopiah, that's a good goal--but I don't think it'll ever convince anyone. I misunderstood your aims.02:12
kanzuredoes melatonin work on you?02:12
JayDuggerMelatonin, GABA, tryptophan, theanine.02:12
fennnot enough data to say02:12
fenni stayed up to 5am yesterday02:12
JayDuggerVicodin in extreme need.02:12
kanzureyes but what time was that on your internal clock02:13
fennit does seem to do something about a half hour after i take it, but wears off an hour after that02:13
fennkanzure: i can show you what i've got so far if you really care02:13
kanzurewhat data are you recording and why do you think it's sufficient02:13
UtopiahJayDugger: as you suggested before, try to convince somebody who feels safe thanks to faith with rational argument is a lost cause, so I don't even hope to do so, I just think that this way I can stay coherent without wasting time02:13
JayDuggerI have that problem too. The time-release formulas help, a little. Try setting out another dose by your bed for when you wake.02:13
fennkanzure: time i took melatonin, dosage, time i woke up and slept, and everything else02:16
fennnot sure what else i could record without sensors02:16
fennJayDugger: i've read that the time release just fucks everything up and makes it impossible to schedule your dosage02:17
Utopiah(speaking of beliefs The Singularity: An Appraisal with Alastair Reynolds/Vernor Vinge/Charles Stross/Karl Schroeder http://vimeo.com/9445223 ;)02:17
JayDuggerfenn, which do you want more: good data or good rest?02:19
fennJayDugger: a demonstrated solution, not just "i think it might be working"02:20
JayDuggerPoint taken.02:20
katsmeowgrab some GNC Natrasleep, take 4 caps an hr before bed, it beats melatonin02:20
fennwhatever, i know what valerian does02:20
Forrestelectrodes and mess stuck all over might be uncomfortable, but I wonder what kind of information could be gleaned from a time lapse camera?02:20
katsmeowwell, try mistletoe?02:21
fennmistletoe? i didnt know that was used for treating sleep disorders02:22
fennanyway i'm going to continue with melatonin for at least a month and not muck around with 50 different things at once02:23
fennthanks for the suggestion but i doubt i'll start using a proprietary blend02:23

ForrestHas anyone here ever played cooking mama?02:27
katsmeowfenn, it was in Sleeptime tea till some fda meddling said it was dangerously effective02:27
JayDuggerI've never heard of it.02:27
ForrestYou play a bunch of minigames representing steps in a recipe02:28
Forrestcracking eggs, stirring batter02:28
ForrestUsually involves either a wiimote or a touch screen02:28
JayDuggerAh...why not just cook?02:28
katsmeowthat was in the 80's, and the company was sold and resold several times, each selling making the owners more paranoid about the sleeping cutomers not waking up to buy more tea02:28
JayDuggerDoes the game aim at young children?02:28
ForrestAll ages, but yeah02:29
ForrestThere are a few reasons why someone might play the game instead of cook02:29
JayDuggerI dislike cooking, and happily eat rather nasty food, so I am not the target market.02:29
ForrestIt's like an interactive version of the food network02:29
JayDuggers/nasty/unpalatable02:30
JayDuggerMy sister might like that, though.02:30
kanzurewe have something like that in the plans in skdb.git02:30
JayDugger?02:30
ForrestThat's what I was getting at02:30
kanzurebut not targeted at the gaming market02:30
JayDuggerCooking in skdb? I hadn't thought of that...02:30
kanzureJayDugger: well he's talking about the general idea of instructions02:31
kanzurebut yes cooking is one application02:31
-!- katsmeow is now known as katsmeow-afk02:31
JayDugger`sudo skdb-get bread` First, buy some land...02:31
ForrestI was in class and my professor was explaining steps for prepping chickpea DNA for sequence02:31
kanzureyep, lab protocols too02:31
JayDuggerSecond, apply for USDA subsidies...02:31
Forrestand I was thinking about how tedious it sounded02:31
kanzureForrest: you'll shit bricks when i get my microfluidics package working- it converts biology protocols into microfluidic lab-on-a-chip devices02:31
Forrestand I thought of how fun it might be to dial a virtual pipette with a wiimote and various other things02:32
ForrestHoly shit02:32
kanzureJayDugger: i was previously working on a way to order parts from suppliers via skdb for those things that you do not want to make yourself02:32
kanzureuntil the seasteading institute gets their shit together, you'll have to either (1) already have land or (2) buy land02:32
kanzureor (3) buy bread02:33
JayDuggerI've already developed a taste for spirulina and a low-glycemic index diet. :)02:33
kanzuremost people already have some land available, even if they are just renting an apartment (in which case they have floor space available, which isn't the same thing as land)02:33
ForrestAnyway, I told the "biotech mama idea to a friend of mine and he told me that SKDB wanted the same thing02:33
kanzurei wonder if fischerprice could get behind "my little biotech lab"02:34
JayDuggerForrest, has anyone done simulations of lab techniques? I imagine something like the surgical simulators for endoscopy and the like...02:34
kanzurebut yeah02:34
kanzureJayDugger: yes02:34

ForrestI've seen good surgery simulators made like flash games02:34
ForrestThey're more for learning protocols02:35
JayDuggerDo you know if the FDA has to approve surgery simulators?02:35
JayDuggerFAA tests flight simulators before pilots train with them, for example.02:35
kanzureJayDugger: i have some notes in skdb.git on instruction generation and "biotech mamma" stuff if you want to learn more02:35
* kanzure sleeps02:35
ForrestNo they don't have to approve them, there are several popular video games similar to cooking mama focused around surgery02:37
Forresthttp://www.edheads.org/activities/knee/knee1/index.htm02:37
ForrestThat's simple02:37
JayDuggerContinuing the parallel, pilots practice difficult procedures in flight simulators. Engine loss + bird strike on takeoff in bad weather, etc...02:37
JayDuggerThank you for the link.02:37
JayDuggerEww...yuck. That's worse than hydraulics.02:38
ForrestI do not know why surgery compares to hydraulics02:46
JayDuggerBoth involve liquids I dislike.02:46

JayDuggerYes, and my nuclear pulse drive spaceship, too. 02:52

JayDuggerPurely for exploration.02:53
Forrestlol MoO03:01
ForrestThe whole bit where you just give them a paralytic and an amnestic is hilarious to me03:11
Forrest"You're going to hate me for a little while, but what I gave you should prevent you from forming any long term memories, so I don't care."03:12
Forrest"You will be paralyzed for the duration of the operation, you can attempt to scream if something I'm doing feels more excruciating than you think I intend it to be"03:14
ForrestI was learning to brew mead a few years back. I read about how older recipes call for henbane instead of hops03:16
JayDugger?03:17
Forresthenbane is hallucinogenic and can have a side effect that makes you overheat and die03:17
JayDuggerYes. Why have that in mead?03:17
ForrestIt probably accounted for a lot of the punch of the drink.03:17
ForrestFor obvious reasons it went out of style03:18
Forrestbut it returned as medicine03:18
ForrestIt was used as a sort of amnestic03:19

JayDuggerNeat. Have you a set of links dropped in #hplusroadmap?10:50
kanzurehundred-ideas: yeah but do you want something like: word,count\nword,count or count,word\ncount,word or count<deliberate space here>word or wut?10:51
kanzureJayDugger: yes10:51
kanzureJayDugger: http://designfiles.org/~bryan/hplusroadmap-urls.2010-01-25.txt10:51
JayDuggerThank you.10:51
kanzurethat was in late january. here's one from october: http://designfiles.org/~bryan/hplusroadmap-urls.txt10:51
kanzureobviously the january one is more complete10:52
kanzurei'm going to limit this first cloud to words that have been mentioned 4 or more times10:57
kanzurethe frequency list is 1.1MB in size and has about a million lines, so doing anything else will take more time than i have patience to give10:57
JayDuggerDo you know the TextArc visualization?10:58

kanzurehttp://designfiles.org/~bryan/hplusroadmap_tag_cloud.2010-03-13.4-to-300-only.html11:33
JayDuggerWhat does the step parameter mean?11:36
kanzurefont size is an integer11:36
kanzurestep size is multiplied by the frequency or count of the tag to determine which font size it should have11:37
kanzureor something like that11:37
JayDuggerWhat software did you use to make this?11:37
JayDuggerHeh. My name has only slighter greater size than "useless".11:38
JayDugger:)11:38
