genehackerhow much and what for?15:23
genehacker25 watts?15:23
genehackerand an engraver?15:24
fenncan you "engrave" microfluidic circuits with a laser?15:26
genehackererrr...15:27
genehackerone of my fluidics papers said15:27
genehackerinsufficient surface quality15:29
genehackerfor fluidics, which operate at high RE15:29
ybitRE?15:31
ybitshould tell me in http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/iel5/10951/34490/01645733.pdf 15:33
ybit_ electrode15:33
fennyou could do some kind of surface modification later, like spray a coating or flame polish15:38
kanzurefenn: yes i think so15:39
fennor solvent polish15:39
kanzuredefinitely worth testing15:39
kanzurebasic test is a fucking line (engraved) plus an inlet, maybe with holes for two screws15:41
kanzureplus a complementary piece of whatever material it is15:41
kanzureand some food coloring dyes15:41
kanzurei am disappointed that you have to press print on a computer (or issue the command) and then also press the "START" (yes the one with all caps) button on the machine itself15:42
fenntape down the "START" button :P15:42
fennbasic test for laminar flow would need two inlets for different dyes15:43
kanzurewhy is this?15:43
fennto see if they mix or not15:43
kanzurewithout a pump it's not only lamniar but also surface tension15:44
kanzure*laminar15:44
kanzurei guess i should mentally prep myself to use a pumping system anyway15:45
QuantumGIf you want to intern for @mastenspace  this summer you have one week to get your app in - April 4 deadline! http://bit.ly/bMRdxF15:46

kanzureturns out he's an extropian15:47
fenn"Thorium Energy Alliance Conference" this week in mountain view15:48
kanzureis this important?15:49
kanzurehey don't you hate conferences or something15:49

kanzureQuantumG: http://www.maxmore.com/extprn3.htm see the numbered list15:50
kanzuresupertranshumanists on steroids15:50
QuantumGand if you wanna talk to someone about Thorium, talk to Kirk Sorenson15:50
kanzureexcept most of them don't actually do anything15:50
kanzureso i guess they aren't that super15:50
kanzureum, nevermind15:50
QuantumGheh15:51
QuantumGMasten and most the people he's hired are hardcore libertarians15:51
kanzurecrud it's been 30+ days since i've been meaning to reply to isabelle hakala's email?15:52
kanzureman, when i forget to reply to an email, i really really forget15:52
kanzurei found another one today from 20 days ago from someone wanting to build an open source waterjet cutter with me15:52
kanzure"oops"15:52
kanzurewilliam mook too.. blah15:53
kanzurefor some reason february 15th to march 10th was some sort of social deadspot for me where i forgot to follow-up with anyone15:54
QuantumGI said to someone yesterday "hey, I'd love to discuss this further with you if you're interested"  .. he replied to me with a telephone number.  sigh, fucking old people.15:54
fenndon't get burned out15:54
genehackerRE= reynolds number15:55
genehackersolvent polish?15:55
genehackerinteresting15:55
genehackernever thought of that15:55
kanzurewell i think i am just counting the failures, the number of successes is way more and wasn't evident on the view i was looking at15:55
fennare you keeping score? :)15:55
genehackeroh and kanzure the the ion beam lithography machines here supposedly take some non-proprietary fileformat like .dxf too...15:56
fenndxf isn't really "non-proprietary"15:56
genehackerif it's low RE the dyes won't mix15:56
kanzurefenn: i am, surprisingly, not tracking my follow-ups-needed at the moment. wtf is up with that15:57
genehackeras there is no turbulence15:57
genehackerbecause there is no turbulence the process is isentropic and reversible15:58
kanzureyou can add in some mixing chambers15:58
* genehacker digs up a cool video showing this15:58
kanzureright now i am primarily interested in flow15:58
kanzurefenn: did microsoft ever get a patent on the .doc format, or anyone else on a proprietary file format for that matter?15:59
genehackerhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhsmOc7Hb8Q15:59
kanzureoh, png15:59
kanzurenevermind15:59
genehackerfast forward to 3:0016:00
genehackerfor something neat16:00
fenni wonder how the google streetview works on bike trails16:09
kanzurei don't think the google van does bike trains16:10
kanzure*trails16:10
kanzurecool les is giving me a key16:11
fennbut they have photos on the trail16:11
kanzureit's been only, what, 14mo?16:11
genehackerthey have bikes them with a street view omnicam setup16:12
fennhttp://tinyurl.com/y9pzzrp16:12
kanzure"warning: google is not responsible for any lions and/or cougars on bike trail"16:12
kanzureactually, if anyone can radio tag all of the wild animals in the u.s., it'd be google16:13
fennwell here's my answer http://technology.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/tech_and_web/article6702161.ece16:14
genehackerhahaha16:15
genehackernow that'd be neat16:15
fenni'm going to make a helmet setup for recording omnidirectional images, but not with the spherical reflection thing16:16
genehackerwill you do omnidirectional stereo imaging?16:17
fennthat trike looks awful heavy and clunky16:18
genehackerso you can put on some shutter glasses and see things in 3D16:18
fenni dont think stereo would work very well with the limited resolution16:18
fennand small spacing distance16:18
fennyou can do 3d in some directions based on the fact that you moved x meters16:19
genehackeromnidirection stereo uses mirror balls from what I know16:19
genehackerif you took lots of pictures and had lots of computational power you could build up a 3d point cloud then do that for 3d16:20
fennjeezus.. this from a country that has the most security cameras per capita: "Villagers in Broughton, Buckinghamshire, even formed a human chain to stop the Street View car entering its quiet roads, forcing the driver to make an abrupt U-turn, leaving the village off the mapping service."16:22
genehackerwell I guess they have so many cameras they don't need it16:24
fennUK military using designs from US video games: http://technology.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/tech_and_web/article7078725.ece16:24
fennactually i dont really see what the link to video games is16:24
genehackersee what your friends see after you've been killed, but before that16:26
fennhopefully realtime streaming video doesn't get restricted under ITAR16:26
genehackerhopefully opencv doesn't fall under ITAR16:27
kanzureis the military using big dog from boston dynamics yet?16:28
kanzure*bigdog16:28
genehackerhttp://gadgets.boingboing.net/2007/09/06/samsung-files-patent.html16:29
genehackeruses heuristics of human movement16:29
genehackeroh wait that's right opencv sucks16:29
genehackerhow could I forget16:29
genehackerso kanzure that microfluidics stuff you're trying to do relies on marangoni convection?16:30
fennwhy does opencv suck?16:30
kanzureno, this is not marangoni convection16:31
kanzuremarangoni is where you use either applied force on a surface or use heat on a surface to make fluids move16:31
genehackerI don't know, apparently according to the software people on the IGVC team it's code is not optimized so it's not fast or something16:31
kanzureacademics sfucking suck at programming16:32
kanzureno exceptions, ever16:32
genehackerwe're not even academics16:32
kanzureyou're students.16:32
genehackerok16:33
kanzurehave you read their source code?16:33
fenni figure igvc would have plenty of processing power available16:33
genehackerI haven't16:33
genehackerI'm on the mechanical team16:34
kanzureyou probably have svn access to the source 16:34
kanzurei think it's on igvc.ras.ece.utexas.edu16:35
kanzure.. maybe.16:35
genehackerI suck at programming, so what's an svn again?16:36
genehackercode repository?16:36
kanzuresvn is short for "subversion", a centralized revision control system 16:36
kanzureprogrammers download the svn repository with svn tools, make their changes to the code until it does what they want16:37
kanzurethen they have svn send it back to the original server16:37
kanzureand then everyone else can play with the changes, and revert things if that guy screwed it all up16:37
genehackerthat's what I figured16:37
kanzureRAS uses svn everywhere16:37
fennthis is fun.. remote control reprap cam http://shop.metrixcreatespace.com:8821/16:38
genehackerit's not really remote control16:38
genehackerso it's more like just reprap cam16:38
fenni can control it from here16:38
genehackeryou can?16:38
fennpan and tilt16:38
fennit actually has decent response too, unlike most webcams16:39
kanzurehow are they solving race conditions?16:39
genehackeroh neat16:39
kanzurei.e. two people trying to tilt in the wrong ways16:39
genehackerthat's amazing response time16:40
fenn"That's because we have fast tubes (50mbps/10mpbs). We have a managed Cisco switch rather than a linksys hub. Our WiFi gear is from our 'other store', which primarily sells WiFi gear to people building WiFi businesses. We give you a publicly routeable IPV6 address."16:40
fennkanzure: you get a 30 second guaranteed lock16:41
kanzureheh 16:41
genehackerso telerobots don't suck now16:41
kanzurei can't remember where i played with someone's house robot before16:42
kanzurebut it was a telerobo16:42
genehackerback in the day you'd have to wait seconds for a robot response16:42
kanzure thing in a java applet, you could make it bump into his walls for him! :P16:42
genehackerwas it a kit robot he was selling?16:43
kanzureno16:43
kanzurejust something custom he built16:43
kanzurei think a lot of people have done this16:43
kanzurebut it's nice to have a shop-cam exposed over the web, that's kinda new in comparison16:43
genehackerwell a lot of people, but not the average joe16:43
kanzurejrayhawk: is genehacker talking about you?16:44
genehackerwell now the thing to do now that laptop cams are ubiquitous is have a telerobot people can be at a hackerspace16:44
genehackerI don't think so16:44
genehackerit's just something I found on a list of webtoys16:44
genehackernow I wonder if the response time is good enough for a manipulator setup16:46
genehackerafter all, surgeons are able to do operations over the web(no priority bandwidth, from a couple miles away though...)16:47
kanzurepwm over the internet!!!11one it's the next best thing in CAM tech! cloud machining16:47
kanzurehahaha sadly people are probably pouring money into it :(16:47
fenni think they are using http://www.fastpath.it/products/palantir/16:47
genehackercloud machining would be cool16:47
kanzureno it wouldn't16:48
genehackerbut first you need to put mills in everyones house16:48
kanzurewtf is wrong with you16:48
kanzurethat's not cloud16:48
genehackeroh then I'm confused about the cloud16:48
kanzureit's this thing that only companies can own and that you don't.16:48
fennwhat is the point of telerobotic surgery from a couple miles away16:48
fennyou can just drive to the operating room instead16:48
genehackerI guess that would be something like a big lights out machining center16:48
genehackerso the doctor can do a surgery in his beach luxury home without driving16:49
kanzurei was about to ask bill today if he has ever tried nrn on ec216:49
kanzureand then i realized he's buying a 240-node supercomputer16:50
kanzurei don't want to stop that :)(16:50
genehackerdid you hear they're upgrading the RANGER here?16:50
kanzurewhat are the upgrades?16:50
genehackerthey're going to cool it with fluorinert16:50

fennand in austin17:00

kanzureoh per minute?17:22
fennhow did he come up with that number?17:23
kanzureeveryone else in austin charges $75/hour to $100/hour17:24
