kanzurei'm up to IFSelect_ReturnStatus theReturnStat = TransferFinder in XSControl_Controller.cxx10:50
kanzureit looks like they try to do this mapping from their internal representation of the model to whatever the target format is10:51
kanzureand that's what the Transfer_Finder and Transfer_FinderProcess stuff is10:51
kanzurebut 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

kanzurehrm i need to go digging through the make file17:14

pmetzgerconfigure always compiles stuff.17:15
pmetzgerto find out what features the OS supports.17:15

kanzurecomparatively, this is way better than steptools.com17:16
kanzurein terms of buzzword overload17:17
pmetzgerThe only thing that gave me hope was seeing Don Libes' name mentioned halfway down.17:17
kanzureyou know the name?17:17
JayDuggerHeh...the laity of the cult of the amateur now loots government resources? ;P17:17
pmetzgerbut it was only mentioned as the author of one small thing17:17
kanzurenah he also did development on the project overall17:18
pmetzgerDon was quite famous in certain circles.17:18
kanzurefenn apparently knows josh lubell (another one of the developers)17:18
kanzureor doesn't know him, but hears of him a lot17:18
pmetzgerdon created Expect.17:18
kanzureyeah, the names on this project seem to be like that..17:18
kanzurea few emc2 developers too17:18
JayDuggerOh?17:18
pmetzgerExpect is a tool of great power.17:18
kanzureoh, the "expect this input" tool17:18
kanzurei've used it :)17:18
JayDuggerYes, we used that at a former employer.17:19

kanzureoh they want it as an environmental variable? wth kinda config script is this17:26
pmetzgerNo.17:32
pmetzgerYACC is a variable to Make.17:32
pmetzgerand you don't want to run CFLAGS=-E in the makefile, that would clearly fail.17:32
pmetzgerwhat are you trying to do exactly?17:33
pmetzgerwell, YACC is *probably* a make var in this context, but...17:33
ybitkanzure: what is this 'taper' you mentioned as an insufficient hardware license in your talk?17:34
ybiti'm going to be giving a talk on the rise of citizen science @ a TEDx that i'm organizing and gave my aunt a preview this morning. her concern was licensing of some of this stuff, so i figure it makes sense to hit on licensing in the talk17:36

parolangSomehow I have a harder time taking people seriously when their avatar has a Matrix Code backdrop :)18:03
QuantumGwe're stuck with the iconology of our time18:05
parolangHah, okay :)18:06
JayDuggerNo. We've all of history too. Picking a set of icons communicates, just as the icons themselves signify certain things.18:06
JayDuggerThink of American evangelical Christians, who use the fish logo. Recycled from early Christians.18:07
JayDuggerYou can pick anything you like. Picking the code drizzle from recent popular culture means something different from picking Monet's "Water Lilies."18:08
parolangWell, The Matrix's "digital rain" was actually a neat idea; it was meant to represent the combination of nature with technology.18:10
parolangYou see this theme all the time in The Matrix trilogy.18:10
parolangBut I don't think everyone who splashes the matrix code gets this.18:12
JayDuggerA false signified? 18:12
parolangNot sure, I suck as semiology :)18:12
parolang*at18:13
JayDuggerNo worries. It and semantics both matter where I work--not that most of my co-workers realize it. :)18:13
parolangThe odd thing, from a transhumanist perspective, is that science-fiction is generally hostile to h+--*especially* The Matrix movies.18:14
parolangWhat do you do?18:14
JayDuggerI work on flight simulators: machines that simulate aircraft for the sake of training flight crew to handle emergencies.18:15
QuantumGfuturistic sci-fi is necessarily wrong18:15
parolangSci-fi is never meant to be prophecy.18:15
parolangJayDugger: Yep...semioitics :)18:15
JayDuggerException: Lem, S. "One Human Minute." That borders on satire, however.18:16
parolangI've read and am impressed with C.S. Peirce.  Haven't read much Saussure(sp).18:16
QuantumGone 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 years18:16
QuantumGfor 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
parolangDunno, here's Captain Picard's iPads: http://days.illuminous-avantgarde.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/picard-padds-513x366.jpg18:17
parolangI liked SeaQuest :)18:18
QuantumGand he has the facial expression of most iPad users18:18
parolangWhat facial expression is that?18:18
QuantumGforced smile18:19
parolangI didn't see the smile :)18:19
parolangBut...I just hope that desktops and laptops won't be wiped out by the onrush of tablets.18:20
parolangI 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
parolangQuantumG: Oh...sorry, I didn't realize that was your post/avatar.18:23
* parolang feels like a jerk.18:23
parolangWow, I suck.18:24
QuantumGhehe, no worries18:28
QuantumGI know its cheezy18:29
parolangFor what it's worth, I think the post itself is interesting :)18:29
parolangI didn't know you were part of OpenCog.18:29
QuantumGI 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
JayDuggerQuantumG: Have you read Keith Cowen's "After the Software Wars"?18:31
parolangEarly optimization is the root of all evil.18:31
parolangOr something like that :)18:31
QuantumGKeith Curtis?18:31

JayDuggerIf you've read it, or if you know of him, I'd like your opinion on its worth. 18:32
JayDuggerI read fast, but that just means I have to limit what I read.18:33
JayDuggerThe range of what I could read is larger than the range of what deserves reading--and great literature takes work.18:33
parolangOkay...some stupid speculation about strong AI.18:34
-!- Noahj [~noa@24.38.189.39] has joined #hplusroadmap18:35
parolangBut 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
QuantumGmost everyone :)18:36
NoahjI'm sure someone has 18:36
NoahjI'm assuming by "considered" you mean "attempted to implement"... um... ed.18:36
parolangYeah...I realize that everyone has thought it.18:36
NoahjThat one quine page had a self-modifying one, I think, my memory might be faulty though18:37
Noahj*checks*18:37
parolangBut, 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
parolangThe programmer develops better and better tools for automating, analyzing, and synthesizing the program.18:38
parolangUntil eventually the programmer takes his self out of the picture entirely, and leaves the program towork on itself.18:38
NoahjI guess if program analysis were that far it'd be strong AI! 18:38
NoahjPrograms are pretty bad at finding bugs in themselves though 18:38
NoahjAnd I bet bug-finding modules are even worse at finding bugs in themselves18:39
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
parolangNoahj: Well...depends on what kind of bug.  There are different kinds of bugs.18:39
NoahjRather, 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
NoahjI'm pretty sure masturbation isn't strong AI18:39
NoahjBut perhaps I'm mis-implementing it18:39
QuantumGtrue, you can define masturbation18:40
Noahj:-D18:40
parolangNoahj: 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
NoahjI'd say if it doesn't do what you want 18:40
NoahjIt's strong AI18:40
NoahjOtherwise, it's weaker than you are, for submitting18:41
Noahjhttp://www.nyx.net/~gthompso/quine.htm < this -the- quine page (apparently)... 18:41
Noahj*scans for self-modification*18:41
parolangNoahj: Yeah, I've studies that, and other quine pages online.18:42
NoahjThe polyglots are arguably kinda similar...18:42
parolang*studied18:42
NoahjExcept instead of languages A and B it's languages A with bugs and A without :-p18:42
parolangThere are a ton of ways of approaching the problem of AI, this is just one that I thought interesting.18:42
parolangNoahj: Well...I think we would need to be more specific about the *kind* of bug.18:43
parolangBut generally, a program can be defined by what constitutes failure (defining the program negatively).18:44
parolangA bug is when a program fails when it isn't supposed to fail, or succeeds when it isn't supposed to succeed.18:44
NoahjSo if you had a specific set of bugs which outputs a working program 18:44
parolangLike how a search program fails if it doesn't find what it is searching for.18:45
parolangBut...there's probably another layer of bugs, and that's when a program's definition doesn't meet it's intent.18:46
parolangThe 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
QuantumGSoftware Wars is about free software18:47
parolangThe program's definition is basically a concept, and the programmer is trying to find the appropriate concept to meet his requirements.18:48
parolangIt's conceptual analysis...something philosophers have been doing since Thales.18:48
parolangBut for strong AI, we need the program to do the conceptual analysis.18:49
QuantumGthe 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
kanzurewow most boring backlog ever 19:00
parolangWhatever.  Back to lurking.19:01

JayDuggerDon't search "NIST" on YouTube. You'll get a lot of 9/11 conspiracy theorists.19:09
kanzuredid nist.gov somehow plan/coordinate the attack?19:09
JayDuggerSure. 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
JayDuggerI could tell you how, since that came up at my last union meeting--back when I worked for MAJESTIC.19:12
JayDugger:-P19:12

jrayhawkoh, wrong operation, sorry19:23
kanzurewtf how do you force wget to ignore robots.txt19:28
jrayhawkthere's a hidden option19:28
kanzureit's not in the man pages19:28
jrayhawkhttp://wget.addictivecode.org/FrequentlyAskedQuestions#head-badfdf9c2571452db5d048ff7e080a9247cf6b9719:29
jrayhawkthus the definition of "hidden"19:29
kanzurei feel bad since i'm raping archive.org but it's for only a handful of files..19:29
kanzureeach which are pretty small19:29
jrayhawkarchive.org didn't feel guilty about it when they did it19:29
kanzureyes but i also don't have balls of steel (archive.org spidered those away from me too)19:30
jrayhawkclever bastards19:30
kanzurebut i'm pretty happy about this19:30
kanzurehttp://web.archive.org/web/20030216045110/www.nist.gov/sc4/step/parts/19:30
kanzurei <3 nist19:30
kanzureeach of these folders would cost me $300+ from ISO or ANSI19:31
jrayhawkba ha ha that's fantastic19:32
QuantumGkanzure: "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
kanzureactually, a lot of his emails to me are like tha--19:33
kanzurewait19:33
jrayhawkI guess the wget developers make it difficult to find that robots option in order to decrease the likelihood that wget gets specifically banned19:33
QuantumGhehe19:33
kanzurejrayhawk: you mean the user agent string?19:33
jrayhawkyeah19:33
kanzurewho the hell uses the default user agent string19:33
jrayhawkreally they should just alter the user string when they're executing with -e robots=off19:34
jrayhawkand then, you know, document that functionality instead of making you search mailing lists and FAQs and shit19:35
QuantumGI was about to say, that's the option they don't advertise on the man page19:35
kanzureis there a --suck-ass=off option?19:35
kanzurethe web needs a deragotory proxy for .deb packages19:36
QuantumGwhat's annoying is how poorly documented the dont-download-the-shit-I-already-have option is.19:36
kanzurereplacing every option with terrible puns and phrases that make your grandma puke19:36
QuantumG-N Turn on time-stamping.19:37
kanzurehm19:37
kanzurehaven't heard of that one19:37
jrayhawkbasically every gnu utility needs a --suck-ass=off19:37
QuantumGoh, thanks for that, what's that mean?  I know, I'll search for -N on the man page19:37
QuantumGWhen running Wget without -N, ...19:37
QuantumGok, no help there19:37
kanzurehave you tried reading the source19:38
QuantumGWhen running Wget with -r, but without -N, ...19:38
QuantumGok19:38
QuantumGWhen running Wget with -N, with or without -r, the decision as to19:38
QuantumG           whether or not to download a newer copy of a file depends on the19:38
QuantumG           local and remote timestamp and size of the file.  -nc may not be19:38
QuantumG           specified at the same time as -N.19:38
kanzureoh fooey19:38
QuantumGhehe, I guess if you want to know *how* the decision is made, read the source.19:39
kanzurethis isn't going to work19:39
kanzurewget -m -np http://web.archive.org/web/20030216045110/www.nist.gov/sc4/step/parts/ --user-agent="blah" -e robots=off19:39
kanzurebecause the timestamp changes19:39
kanzurei guess i could do /web/*/blah/blah/blah and hope all of the files are in the index (?)19:39
kanzurebut archive.org switches from /web/*/ to some other weird shit in that situation19:39
kanzure(i.e. for pagination it changes from * to 1_tjoi3rj130_2)19:39
jrayhawkevery BSD utility needs a --punching-user-in-the-face=no19:39
kanzureand a --also-get-me-booze19:40
QuantumGsince when do BSD utilities understand long style options? :)19:41
kanzuresince they stopped sucking butt19:41
kanzurehm it occurs to me that QuantumG won't get that19:41
kanzureany ideas on my wget dillema?19:42
jrayhawki think the concept of sucking butt transcends all cultural boundaries19:42
QuantumGsorry, what are you trying to do?19:42
kanzureQuantumG: i want to download all this shiz: http://web.archive.org/web/20030216045110/www.nist.gov/sc4/step/parts/19:42
jrayhawkusing --continue is usually what i do to avoid all this timestampt-brokenness nonsense19:42
QuantumGjust wget -r it19:43
kanzureyes but i don't want the parent directories19:43
kanzurei do wget -m -np (mirror, no parent)19:43
QuantumGI don't think wget will do the parent anyway19:43
kanzuresadly, when the timestamp in the url changes, that qualifies as a parent19:43
jrayhawkyes it will19:43
QuantumGsuckage19:43
QuantumGso wget -r -np doesn't do what you want?19:44
kanzurebecause of -np19:44
kanzurei need a conditional -np i guess?19:44
QuantumGsorry, why doesn't -r -np do what you want?  19:45
jrayhawkoh i see, you want some of the files from different timestamps19:45
kanzure-np stops it from downloading the files19:45
kanzurebecause archive.org has the files linked together in weird, weird ways19:45
kanzurelike sometimes it goes back into the future and downloads them19:45
kanzureso it has a different timestamp19:45
kanzureand thus it's a different parent directory to wget19:45
QuantumGoh.. I see19:46
QuantumGyeah, you're screwed19:46
QuantumGok, do an exclusion on the dir you don't want19:46
kanzureer..19:46
kanzurewhich is /web/ ?19:46
kanzurebut all this stuff is technically on /web19:46
jrayhawkalternatively, you can work out what timestamps you have to worry about, and symlink those to .19:47
QuantumGwget -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
jrayhawkand then use --continue19:47
QuantumGthat should do something interesting19:47
kanzureQuantumG: no, that doesn't account for the timestamp problem..19:47
kanzurelookie at the url19:47
QuantumGyeah, you're not doing -np19:48
QuantumGyou're just rejecting that one url19:48
kanzureyes but during all those downloads archive.org will link you to some stuff on web.archive.org/web/ anyway19:48
kanzureand some other stuff19:48
kanzurei think i'll have to write a little script in perl/python/ruby real quick19:48
kanzurei have a list of timestamps that are relevent19:49
kanzure"acceptable" timestamps i suppose19:50
kanzuremaybe this will be better? http://web.archive.org/web/*/www.nist.gov/sc4/step/parts/*19:50
kanzureand each of the files have a link like this: http://web.archive.org/web/*hh_/www.nist.gov/sc4/step/parts/expressx/19:50
kanzurewhich is then the selection page for which timestamp you want19:50
* kanzure just tries -r and sees what happens..19:53
