| kanzure | and yeah, the ambiguity needs to be accounted for | 07:13 |
| Yocttar | Well, the question is - if I live in Africa, will it be faster for me to build a chemical synthesizer and synthesize a specific _known_ DNA strand or make all the usual stuff (electrophoresis, PCR) to extract the same strand ? | 07:35 |
| Utopiah | would probably be faster to move to Europe :-# | 07:35 |

| kanzure | hi hundred-ideas | 10:41 |
| hundred-ideas | yo | 10:41 |
| kanzure | thanks for taking me up on the scheme | 10:41 |
| * Alystair renames self hundred-ideas^aleph | 10:41 | |
| hundred-ideas | I think it's a good idea | 10:42 |
| Alystair | what are you up to now kanzure | 10:42 |
| kanzure | Alystair: planning for boston | 10:42 |
| kanzure | trying to get everyone in roughly the same spot | 10:42 |
| kanzure | so that i can actually meet everyone :) | 10:42 |
| kanzure | it's been like.. three years | 10:42 |
| hundred-ideas | so could we get endorsement for the meetup from the h+ organizers | 10:43 |
| kanzure | yeah i sent them an email asking | 10:43 |
| hundred-ideas | and what's a catchy name? | 10:43 |
| kanzure | the organizers are likely to agree | 10:43 |
| hundred-ideas | h+ | 10:43 |
| hundred-ideas | H= | 10:44 |
| hundred-ideas | h++ | 10:44 |
| hundred-ideas | unh+ | 10:44 |
| hundred-ideas | hahaha | 10:44 |
| kanzure | but they probably won't attend (busy kissing ass that has more money than they do) | 10:44 |
| kanzure | hmm | 10:44 |
| kanzure | H+ Plummet | 10:44 |
| hundred-ideas | HPlummet | 10:44 |
| kanzure | hah | 10:44 |
| kanzure | hplu + plummet / summit / met | 10:44 |
| kanzure | has everything necessary | 10:44 |
| hundred-ideas | ok ship it | 10:44 |
| kanzure | hah | 10:45 |
| hundred-ideas | its perfect. | 10:45 |
| hundred-ideas | so are you rocking a beard in that photo? | 10:45 |
| kanzure | nah that's not me | 10:45 |
| Alystair | H+ Summit | 10:45 |
| fenn | so here's an idea, put craistlist ads on a friggin map! | 10:45 |
| kanzure | i'm on the right here: http://designfiles.org/~bryan/photos/2010-05-21_hurricane-party.jpg | 10:45 |
| kanzure | context: hundred-ideas is talking about http://designfiles.org/~bryan/photos/puma560/2010-05-28_puma500.jpg | 10:46 |
| hundred-ideas | fenn: http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=craigslist+apartment+map+mashup | 10:48 |
| hundred-ideas | so should we try and get some light snacks / drinks for the h+beer meetup thing? | 10:49 |
| kanzure | hundred-ideas: can you update the google invite invitation to have the hplummet name and a short one line description | 10:49 |
| kanzure | i guess. how much money should i drop on it? | 10:50 |
| hundred-ideas | well we could take donations | 10:50 |
| hundred-ideas | it depends | 10:50 |
| hundred-ideas | will anyone there want to drink beer or skip dinner? | 10:50 |
| kanzure | dunno | 10:50 |
| kanzure | some of the organizers have dinners with stephen wolfram and ray kurzweil, so they will definitely not be skipping out on dinner | 10:51 |
| kanzure | as for the others.. who knows | 10:51 |
| kanzure | sometimes there's an after party that is pre-scheduled, but i haven't seen anything about that yet | 10:51 |
| kanzure | cool, alex lightman is showing up too | 10:54 |
| kanzure | so there you go, organizer endorsement | 10:54 |
| hundred-ideas | great | 11:06 |
| hundred-ideas | I propose we get light snacks and some beers & soda | 11:06 |
| kanzure | i'm only 20, am i allowed to purchase/consume beer in MA? | 11:06 |
| hundred-ideas | I'm sure we could work something out depending on the space hosting | 11:07 |
| kanzure | can you change the google calendar invite deets? | 11:09 |
| kanzure | i wonder why i don't know anyone at harvard | 11:10 |
| hundred-ideas | hplummet is sort of negative sounding.... | 11:14 |
| kanzure | hplus discuss? | 11:16 |
| kanzure | we could just go with a generic "diyh+" to emphasize the citizen science aspect | 11:17 |
| hundred-ideas | that's a good idea | 11:17 |
| Alystair | everyone's distracted by iphone 4 announcement | 11:17 |
| hundred-ideas | and it touches on the unofficial nature of the event | 11:17 |
| hundred-ideas | haha | 11:17 |
| hundred-ideas | yeah | 11:17 |
| Alystair | I do not enjoy apple stuff normally but it's a nice piece of kit so far ;/ | 11:17 |
| Alystair | that pixel density is insane | 11:18 |
| hundred-ideas | I like h+beer personally | 11:18 |
| hundred-ideas | or h+talk | 11:18 |
| hundred-ideas | but whatever | 11:18 |
| hundred-ideas | the name is just aname | 11:18 |
| kanzure | h+talk sounds fine to me.. | 11:18 |
| hundred-ideas | ok | 11:18 |
| kanzure | hmm i need to tell you about my "adopt a lab rat" schemes | 11:19 |
| kanzure | one of these days. | 11:19 |
| hundred-ideas | h+us | 11:20 |
| kanzure | heh :) | 11:20 |

| kanzure | that's ok with me, but where is the beer coming from | 11:25 |
| hundred-ideas | which name is more attractive to the demographic we are inviting? h+us or h+beer? | 11:25 |
| kanzure | i have no idea | 11:26 |
| hundred-ideas | we can get $100 of beer and just put a little donation jar out | 11:26 |
| kanzure | okay | 11:26 |
| hundred-ideas | btw is the puma5000 made of lasercut wood? | 11:32 |
| kanzure | no, it's metal | 11:32 |
| kanzure | but i'm considering doing a laser cutter kit down here in austin | 11:33 |
| kanzure | i hae someone with a machine shop who wants to build it with me | 11:33 |
| kanzure | something like <$1k price tag | 11:33 |
| kanzure | we figure we can do the co2 laser for $600, the rest is just some extra electronics and acrylic parts | 11:33 |
| kanzure | *have | 11:33 |
| kanzure | also i might redo the parts of the arm in acrylic so that it will be "see through" (somewhat) | 11:34 |
| -!- superkuh [hukrepus@unaffiliated/superkuh] has joined #hplusroadmap | 11:39 | |

| hundred-ideas | so are you going to present some progress on minifluidics at h+? | 11:43 |
| kanzure | a little bit. not primarily | 11:43 |
| kanzure | that's not the primary topic, i mean | 11:44 |
| kanzure | i was hoping to have something i could demo, but that didn't happen in time | 11:44 |
| hundred-ideas | ah bummer | 11:49 |
| hundred-ideas | well I still haven't tried anything yet | 11:50 |
| hundred-ideas | with minifluidics I mean | 11:50 |
| kanzure | actually.. maybe i will have time to cut something out real fast | 11:53 |
| kanzure | everything has been working lately, i should be able to give it a e to give it a go | 11:53 |
| fenn | hum the new iphone is really only $200? or is that $200 + your soul | 11:58 |
| fenn | ah, soul not included | 11:59 |
| fenn | (needs 2 year contract) | 11:59 |
| kanzure | the 2 year contract is like $2k in total or something | 12:05 |

| kanzure | fenn: let's talk in here about the cgal/opencsg stuff | 13:28 |
| fenn | ok | 13:29 |
| kanzure | reimplementing opencsg is probably a bad idea, yes | 13:29 |
| kanzure | but some wrappers might be hawt | 13:29 |
| kanzure | i think STEP supports breps, btw | 13:30 |
| fenn | so, to recap you wanted someone to write a plugin for openscad to export STEP | 13:30 |
| kanzure | so instead of exporting primitives you can export the bounded representations | 13:30 |
| kanzure | either the plugin for OpenSCAD->STEP or a python-based CSG library (like a wrapper for OpenCSG) that can export to STEP | 13:30 |
| fenn | ok but why not just do python bindings for opencsg? | 13:31 |
| kanzure | yeah that'd be okay too, given a STEP export | 13:31 |
| fenn | so, er, uh.. what does openscad do that opencsg doesn't do? | 13:31 |
| lepton__ | sorry for jumping in without context, but why use step files for input to OpenCSG, when STEP files drop any sort of parametric associations to geometric primitives? | 13:32 |
| fenn | i dont really know what it's capable of, apparently: http://rocklinux.net/pipermail/openscad/2010-February/000222.html | 13:32 |
| kanzure | why would i know that | 13:32 |
| kanzure | i don't want STEP for input to OpenCSG | 13:32 |
| fenn | step is for output | 13:32 |
| fenn | it's a less lossy data exchange than STL | 13:32 |
| kanzure | i want some easy way for doing CSG stuff in python, plus export to STEP | 13:32 |
| lepton__ | gotcha | 13:32 |
| lepton__ | and yeah, step >> STL | 13:33 |
| kanzure | diybio t-shirt order form http://www.etsy.com/listing/48631562/diybio-t-shirt-preorder?ref=em | 13:33 |
| fenn | btw i've changed my mind, your idea on using genetic algorithms or whatever to match primitives up to an STL actually might work | 13:34 |
| kanzure | if by work you mean "cause your eyes to bleed" then, yeah | 13:34 |
| fenn | after reading about k-means and expectation maximization i saw how it could work | 13:34 |
| fenn | EM is basically a special case of curve fitting | 13:35 |
| lepton__ | are you guys familier with hypervolume based multiobjective optimization alrogithms? | 13:35 |
| lepton__ | like HyPE? | 13:35 |
| fenn | no | 13:35 |
| lepton__ | Jelle from pythonOCC turned me on to it, good papers from Ziztler not too long ago | 13:35 |
| lepton__ | which would provide computing time bounds on primitive fitting of an STL | 13:35 |
| kanzure | hawt | 13:36 |
| lepton__ | http://www.tik.ethz.ch/sop/publications/?page=searchAlg.php | 13:36 |
| fenn | i dont care about time bounds, it just has to be reasonably tractable | 13:36 |
| lepton__ | yeah, but when you're dealing with geometric nonlinearity it's an order of magnitude game where computing time can really really mater | 13:36 |
| lepton__ | Optimization like that is why I need pythonOCC to work in Ubuntu ;) | 13:37 |
| lepton__ | or rather the PAF | 13:37 |
| fenn | dammit, i knew i should have taken a photo of that powerpoint slide | 13:39 |
| fenn | never believe someone when they say they'll have slides up eventually | 13:40 |
| kanzure | it's a lie | 13:40 |
| kanzure | especially when it's a video of their talk | 13:40 |
| fenn | oh i found something close enough | 13:40 |
| fenn | http://astrostatistics.psu.edu/su09/lecturenotes/image/kmall.png | 13:40 |
| fenn | ok see the red dot and blue dot, those are the means | 13:41 |
| kanzure | PA? | 13:41 |
| kanzure | *PCA | 13:41 |
| kanzure | *principal component analysis | 13:41 |
| fenn | the blue dot gets dragged to the right because most of the little blue dots are on the right | 13:41 |
| fenn | we'd do something similar but with triangles and surfaces instead of big dots and little dots | 13:41 |
| fenn | i guess i need to explain the diagram | 13:42 |
| fenn | the line between the red and blue dots is how you classify little dots | 13:42 |
| fenn | it's the line of equal distance between the means (big dots) | 13:42 |
| fenn | at each step in the algorithm you move the big dot to the center of the little dots and then reclassify the little dots | 13:43 |
| kanzure | i need to run around town real quick.. but i'm glad you like my idea finally :P | 13:43 |
| kanzure | (also, i've considered hiring cheap asian labor to just redo STL files in brep formats) | 13:43 |
| fenn | that's not scalable | 13:44 |
| fenn | or open source :P | 13:44 |
| hundred-ideas | kanzure: how many folks do you think will come to the h+beer? | 14:25 |

| hundred-ideas | One option is for me to reserve a bar in harvard square for 30 or so people | 14:45 |
| kanzure | what would be the deadline on that reservation? | 14:45 |
| hundred-ideas | I also live about 15 minutes away and so we could host at my house | 14:45 |
| kanzure | deadline on making hte reservation, i mean | 14:45 |
| hundred-ideas | but it has the downside of requiring a short ride on the T | 14:45 |
| hundred-ideas | Not sure about reservation deadline... probably pretty soon | 14:46 |
| kanzure | what's the minimum number of people to make the reservation? is there any? | 14:46 |
| hundred-ideas | I think it becomes flexible after you hit 20+ | 14:49 |
| hundred-ideas | or so | 14:49 |
| hundred-ideas | But if we go with a local bar, some of the crowd will be expected to buy drinks (ok with me), but they might not allow underage folks in | 14:49 |
| hundred-ideas | I'll call | 14:50 |

| hundred-ideas | nothing too promising there | 14:59 |

| hundred-ideas | If the organizers wanted to throw down $1000 we would be all set :) | 14:59 |
| hundred-ideas | I'll put that on the backburner and look for free spaces | 15:00 |
| kanzure | oh we'd have to put down money? that sucks | 15:00 |

| hundred-ideas | the other option is to reserve the whole bar | 15:01 |
| hundred-ideas | I'll look for other, cooler spaces | 15:01 |
| kanzure | i think just showing up makes sense to me.. "we're the geeks" | 15:01 |
| kanzure | okay | 15:01 |
| hundred-ideas | but gotta run | 15:01 |

| kanzure | hundred-ideas: ok looks like we might have the official ok from the event organizers | 15:25 |
| kanzure | they had some people trying to organize something but apparently that failed (?) | 15:25 |
| hundred-ideas | cool! | 15:28 |
| hundred-ideas | well | 15:28 |
| hundred-ideas | I will continue to look for a cool venue in Harvard Sq today and tomorrow | 15:28 |
| kanzure | so uh | 15:29 |
| kanzure | does diybio-boston have any lab space yet | 15:29 |
| kanzure | because that might be appropriate | 15:29 |
| hundred-ideas | yes it's at sprout | 15:30 |
| hundred-ideas | In Davis Sq, which is also where my house is | 15:30 |
| hundred-ideas | Sometimes sprout is booked up. It's a local hackerspace. But if not, that would be a fine place to do it | 15:31 |
| genehacker | make sure to tell them about the need for an agar factory and Thermophilus aquaticus restriction enzymes that can be grown in E.coli... | 15:31 |

| hundred-ideas | Is agarose that expensive? | 15:32 |
| genehacker | no | 15:32 |
| hundred-ideas | rather, is agarose very expensive relative to the cost of purifying it from agar? | 15:32 |
| genehacker | we want to make diybio seed | 15:33 |

| kanzure | do any of these sound like anything to you | 15:33 |
| kanzure | oh she was looking for private dining | 15:34 |
| hundred-ideas | yeah those look like very nice upscale dining places | 15:36 |
| kanzure | let's try for something less expensive :P | 15:36 |
| hundred-ideas | how did she figure out no-go on the media lab? | 15:36 |
| hundred-ideas | I have some friends there... | 15:36 |
| hundred-ideas | but I bet it would take more than a weeks notice to get it sorted out | 15:37 |
| hundred-ideas | I'll still ask | 15:37 |
| hundred-ideas | do you know anything about possible demos and interactive art? | 15:38 |
| hundred-ideas | that would be really cool | 15:38 |
| hundred-ideas | are there folks interested in bringing that to the venue? | 15:39 |
| kanzure | dunno, i haven't heard anything about that until now | 15:39 |
| kanzure | she might have been talking about the art collective | 15:39 |
| kanzure | i don't know if there will be any demo stuff at the conference though | 15:39 |
| hundred-ideas | collision collective is cool. They are very dynamic as a group. | 15:40 |
| hundred-ideas | I don't think they exist between the semi-annual show they organize. | 15:40 |
| hundred-ideas | There is no collision collective, only collision collective 1, collision collective 2, ... collision collective 11, etc. | 15:41 |
| kanzure | huh | 15:41 |
| hundred-ideas | And the loosely-knit group of artists who do it | 15:43 |

| kanzure | david orban is asking for one | 15:58 |
| kanzure | can you do a blog post on diybio.org maybe? that way you can edit it | 15:58 |
| hundred-ideas | that might be best | 15:59 |
| hundred-ideas | or I can just throw up some static html at hplusbeer.com | 15:59 |
| kanzure | heh | 15:59 |
| hundred-ideas | or we could use http://www.mobaganda.com/hbeer | 16:00 |

| genehacker | well it's not a battleship cannon lathe, so we'll have to find something bigger | 18:36 |
| kanzure | cannon lathe? fire ahoy? | 18:36 |
| kanzure | like.. you fire the lathe out the cannon? | 18:36 |
| genehacker | no as in for making battleship cannons | 18:36 |
| genehacker | battleship cannons are obsolete technology | 18:37 |
| kanzure | aha | 18:37 |
| genehacker | they've been replaced by missiles | 18:37 |
| genehacker | or are they? | 18:37 |
| kanzure | honestly i think a cannon that fires lathes would be more effective | 18:37 |
| genehacker | the navy is working on railguns | 18:37 |
| kanzure | especially with a lathe that weighs 4 tons | 18:37 |
