timschmidt | ah | 10:48 |
kanzure | i'm up to IFSelect_ReturnStatus theReturnStat = TransferFinder in XSControl_Controller.cxx | 10:50 |
kanzure | it looks like they try to do this mapping from their internal representation of the model to whatever the target format is | 10:51 |
kanzure | and that's what the Transfer_Finder and Transfer_FinderProcess stuff is | 10:51 |
kanzure | but when i go down that rabbit hole, it never seems to lead to RWStepShape or STEP_Controller or anything like that (where the actual STEP definition is) | 10:51 |

pmetzger | but anyway, if you do cc -E you can look at preprocessor output. | 17:13 |

pmetzger | yes, -E | 17:13 |
kanzure | hrm i need to go digging through the make file | 17:14 |
kanzure | actually, this is through the configure file | 17:15 |
kanzure | for some reason they are compiling stuff in th configure script? | 17:15 |
kanzure | s/th/the/ | 17:15 |
pmetzger | configure always compiles stuff. | 17:15 |
pmetzger | to find out what features the OS supports. | 17:15 |
pmetzger | test programs of various kinds. | 17:15 |
kanzure | yeah but it's compiling project-specific files | 17:15 |
pmetzger | that's more unusual. | 17:15 |

kanzure | comparatively, this is way better than steptools.com | 17:16 |
kanzure | in terms of buzzword overload | 17:17 |
pmetzger | The only thing that gave me hope was seeing Don Libes' name mentioned halfway down. | 17:17 |
kanzure | you know the name? | 17:17 |
JayDugger | Heh...the laity of the cult of the amateur now loots government resources? ;P | 17:17 |
pmetzger | but it was only mentioned as the author of one small thing | 17:17 |
kanzure | nah he also did development on the project overall | 17:18 |
pmetzger | Don was quite famous in certain circles. | 17:18 |
kanzure | fenn apparently knows josh lubell (another one of the developers) | 17:18 |
kanzure | or doesn't know him, but hears of him a lot | 17:18 |
pmetzger | don created Expect. | 17:18 |
kanzure | yeah, the names on this project seem to be like that.. | 17:18 |
kanzure | a few emc2 developers too | 17:18 |
JayDugger | Oh? | 17:18 |
pmetzger | Expect is a tool of great power. | 17:18 |
kanzure | oh, the "expect this input" tool | 17:18 |
kanzure | i've used it :) | 17:18 |

kanzure | oh they want it as an environmental variable? wth kinda config script is this | 17:26 |
pmetzger | No. | 17:32 |
pmetzger | YACC is a variable to Make. | 17:32 |
pmetzger | and you don't want to run CFLAGS=-E in the makefile, that would clearly fail. | 17:32 |
pmetzger | what are you trying to do exactly? | 17:33 |
pmetzger | well, YACC is *probably* a make var in this context, but... | 17:33 |

QuantumG | we're stuck with the iconology of our time | 18:05 |
parolang | Hah, okay :) | 18:06 |
JayDugger | No. We've all of history too. Picking a set of icons communicates, just as the icons themselves signify certain things. | 18:06 |
JayDugger | Think of American evangelical Christians, who use the fish logo. Recycled from early Christians. | 18:07 |
JayDugger | You can pick anything you like. Picking the code drizzle from recent popular culture means something different from picking Monet's "Water Lilies." | 18:08 |
parolang | Well, The Matrix's "digital rain" was actually a neat idea; it was meant to represent the combination of nature with technology. | 18:10 |
parolang | You see this theme all the time in The Matrix trilogy. | 18:10 |
parolang | But I don't think everyone who splashes the matrix code gets this. | 18:12 |
JayDugger | A false signified? | 18:12 |
parolang | Not sure, I suck as semiology :) | 18:12 |
parolang | *at | 18:13 |
JayDugger | No worries. It and semantics both matter where I work--not that most of my co-workers realize it. :) | 18:13 |
parolang | The odd thing, from a transhumanist perspective, is that science-fiction is generally hostile to h+--*especially* The Matrix movies. | 18:14 |
parolang | What do you do? | 18:14 |
JayDugger | I work on flight simulators: machines that simulate aircraft for the sake of training flight crew to handle emergencies. | 18:15 |
QuantumG | futuristic sci-fi is necessarily wrong | 18:15 |
parolang | Sci-fi is never meant to be prophecy. | 18:15 |
parolang | JayDugger: Yep...semioitics :) | 18:15 |
JayDugger | Exception: Lem, S. "One Human Minute." That borders on satire, however. | 18:16 |
parolang | I've read and am impressed with C.S. Peirce. Haven't read much Saussure(sp). | 18:16 |
QuantumG | one of the reasons why I'd love to see more alternate history sci-fi.. it's less likely to appear outdated after only a few years | 18:16 |
QuantumG | for example, I'd love to see a sci-fi series about what colonizing the oceans would be like if we had started in the 70s. Surface, not underwater.. screw you Seaquest. | 18:17 |
parolang | Dunno, here's Captain Picard's iPads: http://days.illuminous-avantgarde.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/picard-padds-513x366.jpg | 18:17 |
parolang | I liked SeaQuest :) | 18:18 |
QuantumG | and he has the facial expression of most iPad users | 18:18 |
parolang | What facial expression is that? | 18:18 |
QuantumG | forced smile | 18:19 |
parolang | I didn't see the smile :) | 18:19 |
parolang | But...I just hope that desktops and laptops won't be wiped out by the onrush of tablets. | 18:20 |
parolang | I don't think they will be though...tablets will just, finally, become a viable form factor, which is a net win I guess. | 18:21 |
parolang | QuantumG: Oh...sorry, I didn't realize that was your post/avatar. | 18:23 |
* parolang feels like a jerk. | 18:23 | |
parolang | Wow, I suck. | 18:24 |
QuantumG | hehe, no worries | 18:28 |
QuantumG | I know its cheezy | 18:29 |
parolang | For what it's worth, I think the post itself is interesting :) | 18:29 |
parolang | I didn't know you were part of OpenCog. | 18:29 |
QuantumG | I did some dev.. tried to get them going in a sensible direction.. gave up when the leadership was just completely absent and everyone was more interested in talking about how to optimise stuff when they hadn't even figured out how to make it work yet. | 18:30 |
JayDugger | QuantumG: Have you read Keith Cowen's "After the Software Wars"? | 18:31 |
parolang | Early optimization is the root of all evil. | 18:31 |
parolang | Or something like that :) | 18:31 |
QuantumG | Keith Curtis? | 18:31 |
JayDugger | http://keithcu.com/wordpress/?page_id=407 | 18:32 |
QuantumG | and no, I haven't read it | 18:32 |
QuantumG | looks interesting though | 18:32 |
JayDugger | If you've read it, or if you know of him, I'd like your opinion on its worth. | 18:32 |
JayDugger | I read fast, but that just means I have to limit what I read. | 18:33 |
JayDugger | The range of what I could read is larger than the range of what deserves reading--and great literature takes work. | 18:33 |
parolang | Okay...some stupid speculation about strong AI. | 18:34 |
-!- Noahj [~noa@24.38.189.39] has joined #hplusroadmap | 18:35 | |
parolang | But has anyone considered that one way of considering strong AI is as a program that modifies itself? Yeah, I know that sounds lame, but there's more to it. | 18:35 |
QuantumG | most everyone :) | 18:36 |
Noahj | I'm sure someone has | 18:36 |
Noahj | I'm assuming by "considered" you mean "attempted to implement"... um... ed. | 18:36 |
parolang | Yeah...I realize that everyone has thought it. | 18:36 |
Noahj | That one quine page had a self-modifying one, I think, my memory might be faulty though | 18:37 |
Noahj | *checks* | 18:37 |
parolang | But, what I'm trying to get to is that you consider the AI as a program that modifies itself, but you start with the human being modifying the program. | 18:37 |
parolang | The programmer develops better and better tools for automating, analyzing, and synthesizing the program. | 18:38 |
parolang | Until eventually the programmer takes his self out of the picture entirely, and leaves the program towork on itself. | 18:38 |
Noahj | I guess if program analysis were that far it'd be strong AI! | 18:38 |
Noahj | Programs are pretty bad at finding bugs in themselves though | 18:38 |
Noahj | And I bet bug-finding modules are even worse at finding bugs in themselves | 18:39 |
QuantumG | "strong AI" to me is just masturbation. Either it can do the tasks I want it to do or it can't. | 18:39 |
parolang | Noahj: Well...depends on what kind of bug. There are different kinds of bugs. | 18:39 |
Noahj | Rather, if there's a bug in your bug-finding module you've got to have a bug finding module bug finder to find that bug | 18:39 |
Noahj | I'm pretty sure masturbation isn't strong AI | 18:39 |
Noahj | But perhaps I'm mis-implementing it | 18:39 |
QuantumG | true, you can define masturbation | 18:40 |
Noahj | :-D | 18:40 |
parolang | Noahj: Which is why your referencing "quines" earlier hits the nail on the head. It's very much a quine-like difficulty, but since quines are possible, a bug-finding module is also possible. | 18:40 |
Noahj | I'd say if it doesn't do what you want | 18:40 |
Noahj | It's strong AI | 18:40 |
Noahj | Otherwise, it's weaker than you are, for submitting | 18:41 |
Noahj | http://www.nyx.net/~gthompso/quine.htm < this -the- quine page (apparently)... | 18:41 |
Noahj | *scans for self-modification* | 18:41 |
parolang | Noahj: Yeah, I've studies that, and other quine pages online. | 18:42 |
Noahj | The polyglots are arguably kinda similar... | 18:42 |
parolang | *studied | 18:42 |
Noahj | Except instead of languages A and B it's languages A with bugs and A without :-p | 18:42 |
parolang | There are a ton of ways of approaching the problem of AI, this is just one that I thought interesting. | 18:42 |
parolang | Noahj: Well...I think we would need to be more specific about the *kind* of bug. | 18:43 |
parolang | But generally, a program can be defined by what constitutes failure (defining the program negatively). | 18:44 |
parolang | A bug is when a program fails when it isn't supposed to fail, or succeeds when it isn't supposed to succeed. | 18:44 |
Noahj | So if you had a specific set of bugs which outputs a working program | 18:44 |
parolang | Like how a search program fails if it doesn't find what it is searching for. | 18:45 |
parolang | But...there's probably another layer of bugs, and that's when a program's definition doesn't meet it's intent. | 18:46 |
parolang | The program might work entirely in the way it is defined, but it doesn't perform the way the programmer intended the program to perform. | 18:47 |
QuantumG | Software Wars is about free software | 18:47 |
parolang | The program's definition is basically a concept, and the programmer is trying to find the appropriate concept to meet his requirements. | 18:48 |
parolang | It's conceptual analysis...something philosophers have been doing since Thales. | 18:48 |
parolang | But for strong AI, we need the program to do the conceptual analysis. | 18:49 |
QuantumG | the AI section of Software Wars amounts to: here's an example of something great that has been achieved in AI, where's the code? locked in a vault. | 18:50 |
kanzure | wow most boring backlog ever | 19:00 |

kanzure | huh? | 19:08 |
JayDugger | Don't search "NIST" on YouTube. You'll get a lot of 9/11 conspiracy theorists. | 19:09 |
kanzure | did nist.gov somehow plan/coordinate the attack? | 19:09 |
JayDugger | Sure. At the behest of Skull & Bones, Mossad, and to fulfill the ancient prophecies that were handed down by the survivors of the exploded planet through the ancient Egyptians through the Masons. | 19:11 |
JayDugger | I could tell you how, since that came up at my last union meeting--back when I worked for MAJESTIC. | 19:12 |
JayDugger | :-P | 19:12 |
JayDugger | Conspiracy theories make good entertainment, but that's about all. | 19:12 |
kanzure | yep | 19:13 |
kanzure | 40 MB but 29sec video showing an assembly line for a table saw http://www.nist.gov/msid/transfer/AVI_downloads/bdda.zip | 19:13 |
kanzure | but the assembly line is not actually shown, just parts flying around everywhere | 19:14 |
kanzure | for some reason it wouldn't run in mplayer | 19:14 |

JayDugger | wget or curl to get the videos, something like that commandlinefu to upload to YT? | 19:15 |
jrayhawk | cclive works pretty well for youtube | 19:15 |
jrayhawk | and vimeo | 19:16 |
JayDugger | Time to commute. I have a 23andMe report, plus H+ transcripts to read at $DAYJOB. | 19:18 |
JayDugger | Good night, everyone. | 19:18 |
-!- JayDugger [~duggerj@pool-173-74-76-197.dllstx.fios.verizon.net] has quit [Quit: Leaving.] | 19:18 | |
jrayhawk | oh, wrong operation, sorry | 19:23 |
kanzure | wtf how do you force wget to ignore robots.txt | 19:28 |
jrayhawk | there's a hidden option | 19:28 |
kanzure | it's not in the man pages | 19:28 |
jrayhawk | http://wget.addictivecode.org/FrequentlyAskedQuestions#head-badfdf9c2571452db5d048ff7e080a9247cf6b97 | 19:29 |
jrayhawk | thus the definition of "hidden" | 19:29 |
kanzure | i feel bad since i'm raping archive.org but it's for only a handful of files.. | 19:29 |
kanzure | each which are pretty small | 19:29 |
jrayhawk | archive.org didn't feel guilty about it when they did it | 19:29 |
kanzure | yes but i also don't have balls of steel (archive.org spidered those away from me too) | 19:30 |
jrayhawk | clever bastards | 19:30 |
kanzure | but i'm pretty happy about this | 19:30 |
kanzure | http://web.archive.org/web/20030216045110/www.nist.gov/sc4/step/parts/ | 19:30 |
kanzure | i <3 nist | 19:30 |
kanzure | each of these folders would cost me $300+ from ISO or ANSI | 19:31 |
jrayhawk | ba ha ha that's fantastic | 19:32 |
QuantumG | kanzure: "Thanks for your comments. I think we're getting closer to this every day. Keep tuned." and that's how you tell a crazy person to go away. Ask Andrew about this skill. :) | 19:33 |
kanzure | actually, a lot of his emails to me are like tha-- | 19:33 |
kanzure | wait | 19:33 |
jrayhawk | I guess the wget developers make it difficult to find that robots option in order to decrease the likelihood that wget gets specifically banned | 19:33 |
QuantumG | hehe | 19:33 |
kanzure | jrayhawk: you mean the user agent string? | 19:33 |
jrayhawk | yeah | 19:33 |
kanzure | who the hell uses the default user agent string | 19:33 |
jrayhawk | really they should just alter the user string when they're executing with -e robots=off | 19:34 |
jrayhawk | and then, you know, document that functionality instead of making you search mailing lists and FAQs and shit | 19:35 |
QuantumG | I was about to say, that's the option they don't advertise on the man page | 19:35 |
kanzure | is there a --suck-ass=off option? | 19:35 |
kanzure | the web needs a deragotory proxy for .deb packages | 19:36 |
QuantumG | what's annoying is how poorly documented the dont-download-the-shit-I-already-have option is. | 19:36 |
kanzure | replacing every option with terrible puns and phrases that make your grandma puke | 19:36 |
QuantumG | -N Turn on time-stamping. | 19:37 |
kanzure | hm | 19:37 |
kanzure | haven't heard of that one | 19:37 |
jrayhawk | basically every gnu utility needs a --suck-ass=off | 19:37 |
QuantumG | oh, thanks for that, what's that mean? I know, I'll search for -N on the man page | 19:37 |
QuantumG | When running Wget without -N, ... | 19:37 |
QuantumG | ok, no help there | 19:37 |
kanzure | have you tried reading the source | 19:38 |
QuantumG | When running Wget with -r, but without -N, ... | 19:38 |
QuantumG | ok | 19:38 |
QuantumG | When running Wget with -N, with or without -r, the decision as to | 19:38 |
QuantumG | whether or not to download a newer copy of a file depends on the | 19:38 |
QuantumG | local and remote timestamp and size of the file. -nc may not be | 19:38 |
QuantumG | specified at the same time as -N. | 19:38 |
kanzure | oh fooey | 19:38 |
QuantumG | hehe, I guess if you want to know *how* the decision is made, read the source. | 19:39 |
kanzure | this isn't going to work | 19:39 |
kanzure | wget -m -np http://web.archive.org/web/20030216045110/www.nist.gov/sc4/step/parts/ --user-agent="blah" -e robots=off | 19:39 |
kanzure | because the timestamp changes | 19:39 |
kanzure | i guess i could do /web/*/blah/blah/blah and hope all of the files are in the index (?) | 19:39 |
kanzure | but archive.org switches from /web/*/ to some other weird shit in that situation | 19:39 |
kanzure | (i.e. for pagination it changes from * to 1_tjoi3rj130_2) | 19:39 |
jrayhawk | every BSD utility needs a --punching-user-in-the-face=no | 19:39 |
kanzure | and a --also-get-me-booze | 19:40 |
QuantumG | since when do BSD utilities understand long style options? :) | 19:41 |
kanzure | since they stopped sucking butt | 19:41 |
kanzure | hm it occurs to me that QuantumG won't get that | 19:41 |
kanzure | any ideas on my wget dillema? | 19:42 |
jrayhawk | i think the concept of sucking butt transcends all cultural boundaries | 19:42 |
QuantumG | sorry, what are you trying to do? | 19:42 |
kanzure | QuantumG: i want to download all this shiz: http://web.archive.org/web/20030216045110/www.nist.gov/sc4/step/parts/ | 19:42 |
jrayhawk | using --continue is usually what i do to avoid all this timestampt-brokenness nonsense | 19:42 |
QuantumG | just wget -r it | 19:43 |
kanzure | yes but i don't want the parent directories | 19:43 |
kanzure | i do wget -m -np (mirror, no parent) | 19:43 |
QuantumG | I don't think wget will do the parent anyway | 19:43 |
kanzure | sadly, when the timestamp in the url changes, that qualifies as a parent | 19:43 |
jrayhawk | yes it will | 19:43 |
QuantumG | suckage | 19:43 |
QuantumG | so wget -r -np doesn't do what you want? | 19:44 |
kanzure | because of -np | 19:44 |
kanzure | i need a conditional -np i guess? | 19:44 |
QuantumG | sorry, why doesn't -r -np do what you want? | 19:45 |
jrayhawk | oh i see, you want some of the files from different timestamps | 19:45 |
kanzure | -np stops it from downloading the files | 19:45 |
kanzure | because archive.org has the files linked together in weird, weird ways | 19:45 |
kanzure | like sometimes it goes back into the future and downloads them | 19:45 |
kanzure | so it has a different timestamp | 19:45 |
kanzure | and thus it's a different parent directory to wget | 19:45 |
QuantumG | oh.. I see | 19:46 |
QuantumG | yeah, you're screwed | 19:46 |
QuantumG | ok, do an exclusion on the dir you don't want | 19:46 |
kanzure | er.. | 19:46 |
kanzure | which is /web/ ? | 19:46 |
kanzure | but all this stuff is technically on /web | 19:46 |
jrayhawk | alternatively, you can work out what timestamps you have to worry about, and symlink those to . | 19:47 |
QuantumG | wget -r -R 'http://web.archive.org/web/20030216045110/http://web.archive.org/sc4/step/' http://web.archive.org/web/20030216045110/www.nist.gov/sc4/step/parts/ | 19:47 |
jrayhawk | and then use --continue | 19:47 |
QuantumG | that should do something interesting | 19:47 |
kanzure | QuantumG: no, that doesn't account for the timestamp problem.. | 19:47 |
kanzure | lookie at the url | 19:47 |
QuantumG | yeah, you're not doing -np | 19:48 |
QuantumG | you're just rejecting that one url | 19:48 |
kanzure | yes but during all those downloads archive.org will link you to some stuff on web.archive.org/web/ anyway | 19:48 |
kanzure | and some other stuff | 19:48 |
kanzure | i think i'll have to write a little script in perl/python/ruby real quick | 19:48 |
kanzure | i have a list of timestamps that are relevent | 19:49 |
kanzure | "acceptable" timestamps i suppose | 19:50 |
kanzure | maybe this will be better? http://web.archive.org/web/*/www.nist.gov/sc4/step/parts/* | 19:50 |
kanzure | and each of the files have a link like this: http://web.archive.org/web/*hh_/www.nist.gov/sc4/step/parts/expressx/ | 19:50 |
kanzure | which is then the selection page for which timestamp you want | 19:50 |
* kanzure just tries -r and sees what happens.. | 19:53 | |

genehacker | it hardly looks like a shark | 21:18 |
kanzure | i was reading an infrared fluorescent protein paper the other day | 21:18 |
* kanzure wants a high-infrared fluorescent protein | 21:19 | |
genehacker | why high infrared? | 21:19 |
kanzure | to get information out of the skull | 21:19 |
kanzure | at about 10 micron wavelengths the skull starts acting as a waveguide | 21:19 |
genehacker | emit light in the infrared range? | 21:19 |
kanzure | there's one that is "low infrared" (less than 1 micron) | 21:19 |
genehacker | emit light when excited by infrared? | 21:20 |
genehacker | you'd need reverse fluorescence to do that | 21:20 |
kanzure | no, the excitation is something else | 21:20 |
kanzure | wait | 21:20 |
kanzure | uh | 21:20 |
kanzure | i should check this | 21:20 |
kanzure | http://designfiles.org/papers/Mammalian%20expression%20of%20infrared%20fluorescent%20proteins%20engineered%20from%20a%20bacterial%20phytochrome.pdf | 21:20 |
kanzure | 900nm | 21:20 |
kanzure | yeah, so it's not the excitation part | 21:21 |
kanzure | just hook up some calcium trigger or something | 21:21 |
genehacker | why do you want to go through the skull like that? | 21:22 |
genehacker | just pipe in an optical fiber | 21:22 |
kanzure | what was that optical fiber BCI name? it wasn't "EPOC" (that was the Emotiv crap) | 21:23 |
genehacker | never heard of anything commercial | 21:23 |
kanzure | it wasn't | 21:26 |

AJollyLife | this is totally tooting my own horn, but I really like some of my photos from h+ | 23:16 |
QuantumG | url? | 23:18 |
AJollyLife | not all posted yet | 23:18 |
AJollyLife | the ones from the first day are, i'm looking through the day2 photos now, and will upload them overnight :) | 23:18 |
AJollyLife | but they will be here - http://www.flickr.com/photos/ajolly/sets/72157624141398171/ | 23:19 |
QuantumG | thanks | 23:22 |
