| fenn | well i can't figure out who "dick from openmanufacturing" is | 00:56 |
| fenn | apparently lives around bay area but went to MIT under hiroshi ishii | 00:56 |
| fenn | ok i should do my homework first... dick whitney.. i wonder if he and his twin are actually twins or if they're married or something | 00:57 |
| fenn | i'm getting too old for this shit :P | 00:58 |
| fenn | http://www.brotherswhitney.com/ so they're brothers.. well that would make sense, but why didn't they say "yes" when i asked about being twins | 01:00 |

| splicer | I balme religion for stupidity like the vagina tooth article. | 06:37 |
| kanzure | heh | 06:38 |
| kanzure | pmetzger: yes but the article was asking about the lack of an evolutionary pressure in that direction | 06:38 |
| pmetzger | pressure is meaningless. | 06:38 |
| pmetzger | If you are a human and your customers come to you and say "please sell me a widget in black in addition to white", you intelligently respond. | 06:39 |
| pmetzger | In evolution, even if two new arms with hands on them would give you a massive boost, if you don't get that set of mutations appearing in the real world, no one will ever find out that it gives you a big boost. | 06:40 |
| pmetzger | Evolution is not design. | 06:40 |
| kanzure | pmetzger: i think you fail | 06:40 |
| kanzure | i don't care that "evolution is not design", nobody is saying that it is | 06:40 |
| pmetzger | not all things that would enhance an organism's survival will actually appear | 06:40 |
| kanzure | that's true | 06:40 |
| pmetzger | many obvious improvements exist to the human form, but we don't have them. | 06:40 |
| kanzure | but there are other reasons- if you read the comments- besides the fact that it was chance | 06:40 |
| pmetzger | some of them are tiny. | 06:40 |
| pmetzger | tiny changes. | 06:41 |
| pmetzger | why don't we make our own vitamin C when we have almost all the right genes for it. most animals do. | 06:41 |
| kanzure | are we talking about something different now? | 06:41 |
| pmetzger | "because we don't" is the answer. it would help us survive, but we have a broken gene, and nature doesn't know to fix it. | 06:41 |
| kanzure | "know"? | 06:41 |
| kanzure | what the fuck man | 06:41 |
| pmetzger | nature has no mind. | 06:41 |
| pmetzger | it can't think. | 06:42 |
| kanzure | then why the hell are you talking about knowing and not knowing? | 06:42 |
| kanzure | i'm sorry, but i think you're trolling ;) | 06:42 |
| pmetzger | no I'm not. | 06:42 |
| pmetzger | I'm pointing out the difference between evolution and engineering. | 06:42 |
| Utopiah | there is no nature (see also ##philosophy ) | 06:42 |
| pmetzger | Scott can point out an obvious improvement... | 06:42 |
| kanzure | pmetzger: so? | 06:42 |
| pmetzger | ...but that doesn't mean evolution will hit on it. | 06:42 |
| kanzure | we weren't talking about that.. | 06:42 |
| pmetzger | He's looking for reasons the improvement would not be an improvement as the answer. | 06:42 |
| kanzure | not true | 06:43 |
| pmetzger | but the more obvious answer is simply that nature never got to that part of the form space. | 06:43 |
| JayDugger | Good morning, everyone. Time for grocery shopping. | 06:43 |

| kanzure | i don't want to argue about this, but your interpretation of the author's intentions seems to be what's wrong imho | 06:43 |
| pmetzger | I think I read the same blog post... | 06:44 |
| kanzure | and you honestly believe: < pmetzger> He's looking for reasons the improvement would not be an improvement as the answer. | 06:44 |
| pmetzger | well, yes. | 06:44 |
| pmetzger | observe answer 1 | 06:44 |
| pmetzger | and answer 2 | 06:45 |
| * kanzure observes | 06:45 | |
| pmetzger | and answer 3 | 06:45 |
| pmetzger | (he labels them hypotheses) | 06:45 |
| pmetzger | and answer 4 | 06:45 |
| pmetzger | and answer 5 | 06:45 |
| pmetzger | these are all variations on "why this would not actually improve the survival of the genetic line" | 06:45 |
| pmetzger | all five answers he proposes, in fact. | 06:46 |
| pmetzger | my simpler answer is perhaps nature just never tried it (using excess anthropomorphization of nature as a shorthand here) | 06:46 |
| kanzure | and you hold it impossible that if there was some mutation, or string of mutations, that led to a situation like he describes, that his thought experiment becomes .. what? mush? | 06:46 |
| kanzure | ok, so you're just proposing a simpler answer for him | 06:46 |
| pmetzger | yes. | 06:47 |
| pmetzger | the answer may simply be that it might indeed have a positive impact but that this part of the form space has never been explored by mutation + selection. | 06:47 |
| kanzure | honestly it sounded like you were criticising me for bringing up the link. i thought the thought experiment was mildly amusing. | 06:47 |
| pmetzger | no, I was not criticizing you. | 06:47 |
| pmetzger | and I think Scott is brilliant. | 06:48 |
| pmetzger | I love his blog. | 06:48 |
| pmetzger | I just think he wasn't looking at the most obvious possible answer. | 06:48 |
| kanzure | and that's what made you go into a spiell about basic evolution? | 06:49 |
| splicer | the obvious answer is that rape is an evolutionery feature | 06:49 |
| pmetzger | it is of course an evolutionary feature, but who's genes benefit? | 06:49 |
| splicer | the strongest males | 06:49 |
| pmetzger | presumably the fact that women resist rape would indicate theirs do not. | 06:49 |
| pmetzger | so we would presume they would develop strategies to avoid it. | 06:49 |
| pmetzger | kanzure: that's what made me go into the spiel, yes, to justify my answer. | 06:50 |
| splicer | to breed weaker males? | 06:50 |
| pmetzger | no, to allow better selection of males. | 06:51 |
| splicer | males who are more in touch with their feminine side? | 06:53 |
| splicer | Dawkins said it well when he said nature is tooth and claw | 06:54 |
| pmetzger | I think you might want to read more on sexual selection. | 06:55 |
| pmetzger | Females have an incentive not to mate with just any male, but rather with ones they have carefully selected. | 06:56 |
| pmetzger | Rape is an attempt by males to get around that. | 06:56 |
| pmetzger | but the females have no incentive to go along with it. | 06:56 |
| pmetzger | I can recommend good books on this if you wish. | 06:56 |
| pmetzger | And I think Dawkins would fully agree with me. | 06:56 |
| splicer | dawkins? why do you think that? | 06:56 |
| pmetzger | Because I've read his writing on this very subject. | 06:57 |
| pmetzger | I didn't invent these ideas. | 06:57 |
| splicer | I know that | 06:57 |
| splicer | I think it's common to see people try to inject contemorary morals into evolution and fail. Because they haven't really grasped what it actually is. | 06:57 |
| pmetzger | there is no question of morals here. | 06:57 |
| pmetzger | it is all a question of incentives. | 06:57 |
| pmetzger | selection pressure, etc. | 06:57 |
| pmetzger | Females resist attempts by unwanted males to mate with them. If the evolutionary pressure went the other way, they wouldn't do that. | 06:58 |

| kanzure | so, i'm writing step.py for my step export utility | 08:27 |
| kanzure | and the way i'm doing this is i have lots of little tiny classes that inherit from parent entities | 08:27 |
| kanzure | with two primary variables in each class: (1) step_keyword, which gives the all caps name that ISO 10303 calls for (like VECTOR_LOOP) | 08:27 |
| kanzure | and (2) parameters, a dictionary of the different parameters that this entity accepts | 08:28 |
| kanzure | in the case of #2, it sometimes looks like this: | 08:28 |
| kanzure | parameters = {"status": str, "application_interpreted_model_schema_name": str, "application_protocol_year": int, "application_context": ApplicationContext} | 08:28 |
| kanzure | where the key name is the name of the parameter (which is later added to the instance of the entity as an attribute) | 08:28 |
| kanzure | and where the value of the key in the 'parameters' dictionary is the expected type (string, integer, ApplicationContext, some other StepEntity, ...) | 08:29 |
| kanzure | what's tricky about this is that sometimes one of the values for the key is a "list" | 08:29 |
| kanzure | and in ISO 10303, sometimes a list must be a certain length and sometimes all of its members must be of a certain type | 08:30 |
| kanzure | not only that, but when a list has a length of one, it's apparently valid to no longer treat it like a list and instead just pass the StepEntity directly | 08:31 |
| kanzure | where i'm getting hung up on is how to specify-- in a systematic, pythonic way-- what types are allowed in the list (which is, uh, fundamentally unpythonic) | 08:32 |
| kanzure | here's one case in class ApplicationContextElement: parameters = {"name": str, "frame_of_reference": list} | 08:32 |
| kanzure | and frame_of_reference is defined in AP214 as: frame_of_reference : SET[1:?] OF application_context; | 08:32 |
| kanzure | my first inclination is to do something like parameters={"frame_of_reference": ApplicationContextList} and make up a new type that is a list of only ApplicationContext types :/ | 08:33 |
| kanzure | but that's terribly unpythonic | 08:33 |
| pmetzger | are you parsing or generating here? | 08:40 |
| pmetzger | generating, right? | 08:40 |
| kanzure | at the moment i'm using this to spit out STEP | 08:40 |
| -!- wolfspraul [~wolfsprau@lucia.q-ag.de] has quit [Quit: leaving] | 08:42 | |
| kanzure | maybe i'll do a "type" generator: "frame_of_reference": ListBuilder(ApplicationContext, max_length=5) .. but that's also pretty evil | 08:42 |
| pmetzger | and what are you converting into STEP? an internal data structure presumably, yes? | 08:42 |
| kanzure | yes | 08:42 |
| pmetzger | So I'd structure it as a method for every part of the data structure that stringifies itself into STEP | 08:43 |
| pmetzger | and you send the whole data structure that method | 08:43 |
| * kanzure nods | 08:43 | |
| pmetzger | and it sends that method to its subparts and puts them together and returns it. | 08:43 |
| kanzure | absolutely | 08:43 |
| kanzure | so, to save time, what i'm doing is a bit more systematic | 08:43 |
| kanzure | lemme show | 08:43 |
| kanzure | http://designfiles.org/~bryan/step_importer.py | 08:43 |
| kanzure | check out, say, class BrepWithVoids | 08:44 |
| kanzure | i'm defining all of these with primarily two variables so that i can just use inheritance | 08:44 |
| kanzure | and have a funky function in the parent class that looks at the "parameters" variable | 08:44 |
| kanzure | this way, i don't have to rewrite a thousand methods a thousand times for all of the STEP entities that i care about | 08:44 |
| pmetzger | I guess the problem is that I know nothing about the data structure you are marshalling into STEP. | 08:44 |
| kanzure | for now i am just directly creating objects by calling constructors of these python elements that you see in that file | 08:45 |
| kanzure | updated: http://designfiles.org/~bryan/step.py in particular look at the unit test at the very bottom of the file to see what i'm doing to test it | 08:47 |
| kanzure | ultimately the goal is to write a cleaner API around all this so that end users don't have to do that craziness | 08:47 |
| -!- r1776 [~LOL@li48-79.members.linode.com] has quit [Ping timeout: 265 seconds] | 08:55 | |
| pmetzger | I thought the ultimate goal was SKDB. :) | 08:58 |
| pmetzger | (the ultimate ultimate goal as it were.) | 08:58 |
| kanzure | semantics | 08:58 |
| kanzure | i used to be in this cult about "the ultimate goal", don't get me started ;) | 08:58 |
| pmetzger | The ultimate ultimate ultimate goal! :) | 09:00 |
| pmetzger | My highest level goal is to fetch myself a glass of water. Once I have molecular nanotechnology, I'll be able to do that finally! :) | 09:00 |
| pmetzger | :) :) :) | 09:00 |
| kanzure | we were using a modified pascal wager about the existence of an ultimate goal or set of ultimate goals or not | 09:00 |
| kanzure | somehow we were gearing up to move to the atacama desert :P | 09:01 |
| kanzure | ah to be young | 09:01 |
| kanzure | any ideas on the python dilemma? #python didn't know | 09:02 |
| kanzure | i guess for now i'll leave it as a generic list :'( | 09:03 |
| pmetzger | My usual policy is to do several cuts of anything. I don't really know what the correct API will be until I've used the API a bunch. | 09:09 |
| kanzure | sure. that's not the problem at the moment | 09:10 |
| pmetzger | So the most important thing is to write enough tests that refactoring constantly is easy. | 09:10 |
| kanzure | i think i'll go with embedded dictionaries | 09:10 |
| pmetzger | the first cut, I always do The Dumbest Thing That Will Work. | 09:10 |
| kanzure | parametesr = {"blah": int, "guh": str, "the_list_thing": {"types": [list of acceptable types], "max_length": 3}} | 09:10 |

| pmetzger | fenn: really? that's very cool. | 10:47 |
| pmetzger | no, I didn't. | 10:47 |
| fenn | http://fennetic.net/machines/hextatic | 10:48 |
| pmetzger | can it mill its own support tubes or is that beyond the current scope? | 10:48 |
| pmetzger | ah, I see, the initial version is stock parts | 10:49 |
| fenn | that was always beyond the scope | 10:49 |
| pmetzger | forever? | 10:49 |
| fenn | er. anyway, it wouldn't mill any tubing, but it would have a headstock attachment that would allow it to do lathe stuff like cutting threads and bearing mount surfaces into leadscrews | 10:50 |
| fenn | i didnt really think about how to make tubing from scratch, it just seemed to be a never ending chain of dependencies at the time | 10:51 |
| -!- eridu [debian-tor@gateway/tor-sasl/eridu] has joined #hplusroadmap | 10:51 | |
| pmetzger | The only reason I mention "self reproducing" is that reprap is kind of limited by the use of plastic when it needs metal parts... | 10:51 |
| pmetzger | you've seen that insane 5 axis machine video where it mills a motorcycle helmet from an aluminum block? | 10:51 |
| kanzure | reprap is not self-reproducing | 10:52 |
| fenn | yeah yeah. *twirls finger* | 10:52 |
| pmetzger | making tubing from scratch isn't needed, but being able to take raw tubing and cut it appropriately for a second machine would be very good. | 10:52 |
| fenn | throw a million dollars at a problem and you can make a dirtbike helmet | 10:52 |
| pmetzger | or anything else made of metal. :) | 10:52 |
| pmetzger | well, machinable metal. | 10:52 |
| kanzure | pmetzger: re: that video, have you seen my "machine porn" playlist? http://www.youtube.com/user/kanzure#grid/user/0EB93E6E02E5CF17 | 10:52 |
| kanzure | (it's the first video on the playlist) | 10:52 |
| pmetzger | that's the very video I was mentioning! very cool! | 10:53 |
| kanzure | anyway, fenn and i first met each other because we wanted to build a self-replicating machine | 10:53 |
| kanzure | sort of | 10:53 |
| fenn | bootstrapping | 10:54 |
| kanzure | we actually first met because we were arguing about aliens in #physics back in 2006, but then we ran into each other a few years later | 10:54 |
| kanzure | or, i was arguing (fenn wasn't) | 10:54 |
| kanzure | well, yes, bootstrapping | 10:55 |
| pmetzger | I wrote a horrible paper for a policy class on the topic of generalized manufacturing recently. | 10:55 |
| kanzure | pmetzger: you should read this: http://groups.google.com/group/openmanufacturing/msg/e4c375acce772250 | 10:55 |
| kanzure | i promise it's interesting :) | 10:55 |

| JayDugger | Long description of canfield joint: | 16:42 |
| JayDugger | http://selenianboondocks.com/2010/06/cjoint1/ | 16:42 |
| JayDugger | This reminds me of a stewart platform. | 16:44 |
| JayDugger | No link--I never uploaded the video I shot of one in action. :) | 16:45 |
| JayDugger | Does there exist a taxonomy that classifies and groups various mechanical joints and linkages? | 16:45 |
| JayDugger | Seems such a thing would exist, but I have zero formal education on that subject. | 16:46 |
| pmetzger | I've often wondered if there are better introductions to all these mechanical tricks than the mass of 19th century books I've seen... | 16:55 |
| -!- shepazu [~schepers@87-194-154-182.bethere.co.uk] has quit [Quit: shepazu] | 16:56 | |
| JayDugger | Yeah...scanning such book helps, but it makes only a small first step. | 17:03 |
| JayDugger | If I knew what sort of joint I wanted, I might well not need to look up the design. | 17:03 |
| pmetzger | At one time assumed there were mechanical engineering texts on this stuff but I haven't found any. Perhaps my not knowing what to look for. | 17:03 |
| JayDugger | It seems to me such would exist, but I don't know how that'd get organized. Number of linkages? Axes of rotation? Range of rotation? Invention date? | 17:04 |

| kive | catching up... kanzure: reprap, even mendel, is still immature. self-reproduction is a goal, but of course it isn't there yet. once exchangeable heads and pcb work is achieved, it'll pretty much be there. | 20:13 |
| kive | right now, though, toolchains are still being developed... plastic extrusion, cnc, laser cutting, etc... and by different groups | 20:14 |
| kive | once each has more maturity and something like a best of breed project in place, self-replication is childs play, imo | 20:15 |
| kanzure | pfft why is jata on the multimachine mailing list | 20:20 |
| kanzure | kive: self-reproduction doesn't really seem to be a goal, given their development strategy | 20:20 |
| kanzure | specifically i refer to reprap.org | 20:21 |
| kanzure | fuck man, they were in the ny times claiming they had achieved self-replication | 20:21 |
| kanzure | taking credit for what will undoubtedly be a community effort that hasn't even happened yet | 20:21 |
| QuantumG | anyone found anything useful to do with a reprap yet? other than printing out plastic pegs | 20:24 |
| kanzure | QuantumG: you mean other than printing out plastic pegs, and getting into the news? :) | 20:26 |
| QuantumG | oh true.. | 20:27 |
| kive | kanzure: obviously, reprap, nor anything else in use today, is what you or i would consider self-replicating. | 20:27 |
| kive | but pcb printing was a stated 2.0 (mendel) goal, albeit failed. | 20:27 |
| kanzure | kive: so, the idea that we developed in here was something a bit different | 20:27 |
| kanzure | instead of randomly hacking together stuff on to a plastic rapid prototyping machine, | 20:27 |
| kanzure | the concept was that we could identify manufacturing processes and which inputs they required | 20:28 |
| QuantumG | some people take a "can I use it to build another one?" approach to self-replication.. whereas I tend to take a "can it replicate itself?" approach to self-replication | 20:28 |
| kanzure | if on average you find a set of parts and manufacturing processes that require <1 new process each time you add it into the bucket, you got yourself a self-replicating system with "closure" | 20:28 |
| kanzure | so that's kinda why the idea of 'skdb' was put forward.. as a way to organize that, but also so that we could, uh, bootstrap hardware development | 20:30 |
| kive | kanzure: give me a practical example, if you don't mind. your terminology was too vague for me to really understand. | 20:31 |
| kanzure | which terminology in particular | 20:31 |
| kive | also, caveat, i'm a newb in this channel. | 20:31 |
| kive | the process part | 20:31 |
| kanzure | do you know what a 'manufacturing process' is? | 20:31 |
| kive | yup | 20:32 |
| kanzure | "In manufacturing, a unit process is a single component part of the end-to-end manufacturing process that transforms raw materials into finished goods." | 20:32 |
| kive | what i learned in business school, anyways | 20:32 |
| kanzure | okay then i'm having trouble understanding what you don't get :P | 20:32 |
| kive | it's all good... i'll quote the relevant piece and explain my confusion when i'm not typing on my phone. | 20:33 |
| kanzure | okay | 20:33 |
| kanzure | superkuh: as i recall, you once had an interest in lipid bilayers and membranes; has anyone ever successfully booted up a colony of something with an artificial (not-given-by-a-parent) membrane? | 20:37 |

| cluckj | there's a whole lot more there than just lipids :) | 20:39 |
| jrayhawk | Re: Ambric: The limited memory and very expensive synchronization makes it difficult to find applications for; massive video and audio transcoding operations seem to be where their current marketing budget is going. | 20:39 |
| kanzure | right, but there have been people who thought otherwise | 20:39 |
| kanzure | i saw some "artificial cell" stuff a long, long time ago | 20:39 |
| cluckj | hehe | 20:39 |
| kanzure | someone was trying to use an emulsion for cells | 20:39 |
| cluckj | it's like DNA | 20:39 |
| cluckj | there's a lot more going on than just base pairs | 20:39 |
| jrayhawk | I think Jules wanted to run Linpack on it so he could have something the size of a large briefcase that would beat most of the world's top supercomputers. | 20:40 |

| jrayhawk | Specifically, you should not think of it as "Linux" but "a highly interoperable open source ecosystem of programs you would want to run" | 21:46 |
| jrayhawk | And you should not think of ASICs as processors, but as programs written directly to hardware. | 21:46 |
| Utopiah | Linux is the kernel | 21:47 |
| jrayhawk | fine, "a highly interoperable open source ecosystem supporting the programs you would want to run" | 21:47 |
| jrayhawk | Though the distinction blurs somewhat as Linux diverges more and more from Unix and as it becomes more microkernel-like | 21:49 |
| Utopiah | I don't even think it's fair to compare Linux to UNIX :/ | 21:50 |
| jrayhawk | Define "fair" | 21:50 |
| Utopiah | UNIX aimed at being an entire OS (actually a set of OS specs iirc) while Linux is "just" the kernel (initially MINIX which then aimed at being a fully featured mini learning OS) | 21:51 |
| jrayhawk | The kernel defines vast swaths of userspace that replace or complement POSIX. | 21:52 |
| jrayhawk | KMS/X, ALSA/libasound, netfilter/iproute2, etc. | 21:54 |
| jrayhawk | To claim that Linux is "merely" a kernel at this point is either twisted pedantry or ignorance. | 21:55 |
| Utopiah | to me http://www.kernel.org/ is Linux, Debian isn't Linux | 21:55 |
| Utopiah | it's one distribution amongst many other which can but is not restricted to the Linux kernel | 21:56 |
| Utopiah | if you tell me you work on Linux Ill tihnk you submit patches to kernel.org code base | 21:56 |
| QuantumG | are you guys really having the "Linux isn't Linux" argument? | 21:56 |
| Utopiah | QuantumG: don't worry, I have a special argument up my sleeves | 21:57 |
| Utopiah | tada! https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/File:Gnu-and-penguin-color.png | 21:57 |
| jrayhawk | kernel.org actually hosts a debian mirror :P | 21:57 |
| jrayhawk | You are aware the GNU portion is and has been skirting the edge of relevance for decades, right? | 21:58 |

| Utopiah | yep, I dont think it's fair to call it that way either | 21:58 |

| Utopiah | and to go back to hardware dedicated code, I dont think everything should be ASIC, especially since you can code from higher level of abstraction like executeUML to OpenMP, OpenCL, Opcode, Microcode, FPGA, VLSI, etc... so you can really match your needs to what is available | 22:00 |
| jrayhawk | It all hits silicon sooner or later, may as well optimize the silicon. | 22:01 |
| Utopiah | what about http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconventional_computing (with its few days ago http://arn.local.frs.riken.jp/UC10/ ) | 22:01 |
| jrayhawk | Okay, I guess that's probably less ephemeral than rapid-fab ASIC while having similar potential. | 22:04 |

| jrayhawk | Unless we can mangle those fit the definition of "ASIC" in the manner of twisted pedantry! | 22:06 |
| jrayhawk | And I'm just the twisted pedant to try! | 22:06 |
| Utopiah | :) | 22:06 |
| Utopiah | I dont think Linux vs. GNU/Linux is pedantry when you talk about hardware level, if you chat with newcomers that want to "install Linux" then yes, it's rather missing the point | 22:06 |

| jrayhawk | The distinction that phrase is trying to make is not pedantry, either, but it's mostly a misnomer at this point. | 22:15 |
| jrayhawk | Just as it's always been a misnomer. | 22:17 |
| jrayhawk | Meanwhile the kernel developers themselves don't realy seem to care much when it comes to talking about "the Linux ecosystem", which is a less cumbersome and inaccurate phrase. | 22:18 |
| Utopiah | btw on that topic but with maybe a more extremist twist than the naming distinction http://www.fsfla.org/svnwiki/selibre/linux-libre/ | 22:19 |

| jrayhawk | I guess "the POSIX ecosystem" is the most accurate phrase. | 22:36 |
| jrayhawk | Obscure, though. | 22:36 |
| jrayhawk | Or, specifically, "the open source POSIX ecosystem" in this case. | 22:36 |
