| kanzure | ok this is pretty fun.. :) i am fixing up tag_cloud.html from meetlog.txt so that i can click on multiple tags and then see the person intersection for that set | 12:35 |
| kanzure | ooh i can make it darken out all the other tags when there is no intersection available with any of them (leaving only positive options) | 12:38 |

| fenn | are you using javascript? | 13:30 |
| fenn | just clicking on stuff doesn't let you specify "and" or "or" | 13:31 |
| fenn | also you might want to search for 'bio -biobrick -synbio' | 13:32 |
| kanzure | i was thinking of using javascript (specifically the jquery library) | 13:35 |
| -!- jcluck [~cluckj@cpe-72-231-169-163.nycap.res.rr.com] has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer] | 13:35 | |
| kanzure | maybe some fancy stuff like ctrl-click to mean "and" while ctrl+shift means "not" or other crazy things like that | 13:35 |

| fenn | what's it called when i find the best thing of a set of things by comparing pairs of things two at a time? | 13:36 |
| fenn | is this just sorting? | 13:36 |
| kanzure | and if i switch from font size to colors for frequency, i could do something with font color plus background color where background color indicates a cluster (cluster identity is just a specific color) | 13:36 |
| kanzure | the advantage of this is that things that suck will "fade out" with the colors | 13:36 |
| kanzure | .. if i pick colors correctly. | 13:37 |
| * kanzure just got done spending a few minutes converting over to sqlite.. because yaml.load was taking 8min to process meetlog.txt | 13:37 | |
| fenn | heh | 13:37 |
| kanzure | it's almost as bad as waiting for a giant C++ project to compile | 13:37 |
| fenn | samantha atkins informs me that sqlite can 'accidentally lose data' | 13:38 |
| fenn | why didnt you use mongodb or couchdb or whatever's hot | 13:38 |
| fenn | basically a json object store | 13:38 |
| kanzure | i only act like a whore half the time.. i have yet to decide if i am or not | 13:38 |
| kanzure | oh you mean on technical merits not because it's hot | 13:38 |
| fenn | yes | 13:39 |
| fenn | basically i dont understand why anybody would willingly use sql | 13:39 |
| kanzure | i'm using sqlite because i have this "super secret" django frontend for all this | 13:39 |
| kanzure | i think django has couchdb support though. i forget. | 13:39 |
| fenn | yeah, it's fairly new | 13:39 |
| kanzure | i wonder if "find all occurrences of this tag in a set of 40,000 elements" is going to tax javascript in a browser or not | 13:40 |
| fenn | i thought the point of jquery is that it queries the server for the answer | 13:40 |
| kanzure | jquery is a javascript library for doing fancy ui effects in many cases | 13:41 |
| fenn | besides, it builds character to do it the right way | 13:41 |
| kanzure | so the reason why i'm doing any of this today is because i figured that i've been doing the biggest market validation study evar | 13:41 |
| kanzure | and i want to see the intersection of tag clouds for different people | 13:42 |
| kanzure | i.e. instead of "hey try my new app or product" maybe "query the clouds for a set of people that i might actually like doing something nice for" | 13:42 |
| kanzure | (and then get back things that they like to talk about or need) | 13:42 |
| fenn | you mean targeting your 'hey try my new app' to the people who might actually be interested? | 13:43 |
| kanzure | no | 13:43 |
| -!- genehacker [~chatzilla@wireless-128-62-154-165.public.utexas.edu] has joined #hplusroadmap | 13:43 | |
| kanzure | more like "oh i didn't realize how prevalent complaints about x were between these 200 people" | 13:43 |
| kanzure | "gee this might require some investigation" | 13:43 |
| kanzure | and finding that "x" involves clusters and similarities and tags that are shared between groups of people that i'm probably not aware of | 13:44 |
| fenn | you dont have data at that level of detail | 13:44 |
| kanzure | "reprap, sucks" | 13:44 |
| kanzure | heh | 13:45 |
| fenn | [everything you've ever talked to them about], sucks | 13:45 |
| kanzure | no i have [stuff i talked about with them for that day], sucks | 13:45 |
| fenn | how do you keep it from all getting jumbled together? | 13:46 |
| uniqanomaly | kanzure check this out http://fallabs.com/kyotocabinet/ instead of sqlite | 13:46 |
| kanzure | wowza the python script (that loads the yaml file) is eating 180 MB | 13:46 |
| uniqanomaly | sqlite is a bad joke | 13:46 |
| uniqanomaly | hmm, it don't have to fit your needs :< | 13:47 |
| uniqanomaly | whatevAr | 13:47 |
| kanzure | fenn: primarily i don't.. there's a way to do that, but i don't want to | 13:47 |
| kanzure | i think topic level clustering is fine, or something | 13:48 |
| fenn | i just meant the ', sucks' tokenizing | 13:48 |
| kanzure | it won't really reveal much that i don't already know but maybe it will show me clusters of different people in the clouds that i could do something better with | 13:48 |
| kanzure | fenn: wait, what? | 13:48 |
| fenn | 'sucks' is just another topic of conversation, no? | 13:49 |
| kanzure | right | 13:49 |
| fenn | so you're going to like, go through each day and delete 'sucks' and add '-sucks' to every entry for that dat | 13:49 |
| kanzure | hah, no | 13:49 |
| kanzure | the way to figure out if "sucks" is being applied to a particular tag is to look at other instances of the other tags being used and see the likelihood of whether or not it will appear next to "sucks" | 13:50 |
| fenn | hm ok | 13:50 |
| kanzure | [tag 1, tag 2, tag 3, tag 4, sucks] <-- look at other instances of tags 1 through 4 being used and see their likelihoods of sucks being present | 13:50 |
| kanzure | this doesn't work when everything sucks | 13:50 |
| fenn | that's when you use SNAFU | 13:51 |
| kanzure | i'm doomed | 13:51 |
| * fenn reads about pairwise comparison | 13:52 | |

| kanzure | there's some "porno statistics" videos on youtube that teach it to you as if you can't understand it unless sleazy women are pandering to every symbol | 13:54 |
| kanzure | 41,919 minor page faults? hrm | 13:55 |
| kanzure | 18minutes? | 13:55 |
| fenn | lol i wonder if that would hold water.. "i swear i was just trying to learn about statistics' | 13:56 |
| kanzure | well, it's now in an sqlite database | 13:58 |
| kanzure | i guess i should write the views now.. had i known that i was wasting 18min i would have been doing it in the meanwhile | 13:58 |
| kanzure | what should i call a 2-data-point-centric tag cloud? where you have tags but also people (and the people are also like tags) | 14:01 |
| kanzure | you can apply a tag to a person at a particular date, and you can also apply a person to a particular tag | 14:01 |
| kanzure | it's a confusing data paradigm for visualization | 14:01 |
| fenn | filter? | 14:01 |
| kanzure | ooh i need a time slider too.. to see the change in the shape and form of the tag cloud with respect to time | 14:01 |
| fenn | btw you know about django's filtering stuffs right? | 14:01 |
| kanzure | model.objects.filter()? | 14:02 |
| fenn | yeah, and the admin has a thing you click on to filter by tag or whatever | 14:02 |
| kanzure | (another weird thing is that a person is a perfectly acceptable value for a tag (i just prepend the tag with "person:") so that probably fucks the data model up) | 14:03 |
| fenn | i would keep person separate, but that's just me | 14:04 |
| kanzure | but what if you talk about a person | 14:04 |
| fenn | unless the person's a topic of conversation | 14:04 |
| kanzure | read that as "what if you talk with joseph jackson" :P | 14:05 |
| fenn | s/with/about/? | 14:05 |
| kanzure | - ben lipkowitz: ["person:joseph jackson"] was just added. | 14:05 |
| fenn | hm ok | 14:05 |
| fenn | that means i said something about joseph jackson? | 14:06 |
| kanzure | i could just do "joseph jackson" but honestly i don't want to run a lookup on all 40,000 tags just to check if it's one of the 9,000 people | 14:06 |
| kanzure | right | 14:06 |
| fenn | ooo all 40,000 tags | 14:06 |
| kanzure | hm? | 14:06 |
| fenn | Big Data | 14:06 |
| kanzure | heh | 14:06 |
| kanzure | the sqlite database is 2.3 MB.. want? | 14:07 |
| kanzure | it's marginally more usable than a giant .yaml file | 14:07 |
| fenn | uh, what would i do with it? | 14:07 |
| fenn | have you started keeping faces of people? | 14:07 |
| kanzure | for that matter what am *i* supposed to do with it | 14:07 |
| kanzure | pictures? | 14:07 |
| kanzure | or do you mean qualitative descriptions of how terrible their face is | 14:08 |
| fenn | so i've got this fantasy of having augmented reality with face recognition where it puts past context up next to the person | 14:08 |
| fenn | a prerequisite is having a picture of their face to recognize on | 14:08 |
| kanzure | one thing i have is a facebook scraper that records all of the friends for each of my facebook friends (and then compares intersections among them for people that i am not also friends with) | 14:09 |
| kanzure | i guess i could have it scrape the profile pics too | 14:09 |
| kanzure | isn't that the purpose of facebook anyway? | 14:09 |
| kanzure | to be a book of faces? | 14:09 |
| fenn | yeah that's all facebook is for | 14:09 |
| fenn | *bonks facebook devs* | 14:09 |
| kanzure | really the idea is simple.. let's make a book and put FACES in it. we can call it a FACEbook. and then put it in your face. | 14:09 |
| kanzure | :/ | 14:09 |
| fenn | yo dawg, i put faces in your face so you can face faces while you face | 14:10 |
| kanzure | write django views for this database or go check on davinci? | 14:11 |
| fenn | views | 14:11 |
| kanzure | although i don't know if anyone will be there by the time i get there | 14:11 |
| kanzure | yeah? | 14:11 |

| kanzure | but the internal part where brlcad goes from the imported step stuff to tessellation is what doesn't exist at the moment | 17:38 |

| ENKI-][ | evolution favors those who want to survive because those who want to survive generally end up surviving | 17:52 |
| ENKI-][ | but it might take a few generations of widespread AGI before most of them favor survival | 17:52 |
| fenn | why do you assume that it's evolved? | 17:52 |
| ENKI-][ | fenn: i don't. that's my point. | 17:52 |
| QuantumG | sigh. | 17:52 |
| QuantumG | anyone who makes a full human intelligence in a box deserves everything they get | 17:53 |
| ENKI-][ | if enough people just kill AGIs that lack the will to live, eventually most of the surviving AGIs will have a survival instinct. but, that's not necessarily built-in | 17:53 |
| QuantumG | whereas something that can understand natural language and code what I fucking telling it to code is not going to be day dreaming about kittens. | 17:53 |
| jcluck | what will it day dream about? | 17:54 |
| jcluck | puppies? | 17:54 |
| fenn | electric kittens | 17:54 |
| ENKI-][ | QuantumG: use evolutionary algorithms with contraints as your test suite. it will be unmaintainable, though | 17:54 |
| jcluck | maybe it would gain internet access, find /b and decide to off itself | 17:54 |
| QuantumG | it wont. Every single thought it has will be directed towards the goal of satisfying my query. | 17:54 |
| ENKI-][ | alternately, you could probably phrase your language in terms of prolog DCGs and frame your constraints as preds, then generate all possible solutions with the constructions optimized towards size and a cutoff point specified | 17:56 |
| fenn | i'd love to carry on this delightful speculative discourse, but i should really try to escape this building i'm in before i get sucked into something | 17:56 |
| ENKI-][ | it would take six times as long to write a simple program but you wouldn't need to do it yourself | 17:56 |
| ENKI-][ | if you managed to make a machine that could do logical inferences in parallel (quantum computers should be good for this since prolog is basically just an exhaustive search) you might even get performance similar to that of a human | 17:57 |
| ENKI-][ | it's doable. i've done demos of it in the past. | 17:58 |
| QuantumG | one gets maintainable code by reasoning. | 17:58 |
| ENKI-][ | but it's a mess because it is essentially just generating all possible syntactically correct programs and eliminating the ones that don't do what you want | 17:59 |
| QuantumG | that and having some understanding of what maintainable code is. | 17:59 |
| ENKI-][ | if you can generate perfectly good complete suites of code just by writing one line of prolog constraint testing, why bother maintaining it? just put as part of the constraint system to eliminate any bugs you see and make a new source tree | 18:00 |
| QuantumG | being able to say "why does running the program with command line A give different results to command line B when I expect the same?" and getting a sensible answer is something programmers do too. | 18:00 |
| QuantumG | because programs exist in time? | 18:00 |
| ENKI-][ | there is that, yes | 18:01 |
| jcluck | hah | 18:01 |
| ENKI-][ | the only reason, currently, that the whole have-prolog-write-your-code thing is totally unfeasable is slowness | 18:01 |
| ENKI-][ | it'd take months to generate "hello world" | 18:01 |
| QuantumG | that and its pointless | 18:02 |
| ENKI-][ | nonsense | 18:02 |
| QuantumG | ya know how the droid armies in Episode One are human shaped? I had someone ask me when that movie came out why you'd have human shaped robot soldiers when clearly the non-human-shaped robots are superior. | 18:03 |
| ENKI-][ | if it was fast, you could do nothing but translate the project description into prolog, and have the entire codebase written without lifting a finger | 18:03 |
| QuantumG | well, as it turns out, someone actually has an answer to that question.. I hazard to say it was Lucas.. "the human shaped robot soldiers fit in with the rest of the army" | 18:03 |
| QuantumG | you can turn to your robot "Sergent" and say "take them to camp A for processing" and he knows what you're talking about and does something you can understand. | 18:04 |
| QuantumG | so if you had a server farm of AI programmers you could complement them with human programmers and managers and *do productive work* | 18:05 |
| QuantumG | whether or not the AI programmers are "alive" or "intelligent" is irrelevant. | 18:05 |
| ENKI-][ | i suppose | 18:07 |
| ENKI-][ | this is, however, assuming that the AI programmers are better at coding than your average third-world programmer on rentacoder, who will probably do the job (poorly) for half of what it costs to power and cool the AI programmers | 18:10 |
| kanzure | who was it that pitched make-an-ai-by-hiring-out-devtime-on-rentacoder? | 18:10 |

| QuantumG | I've heard that argument before, of course it makes no sense from a military-industrial-complex perspective.. which is relevant because that's who's been putting the most investment into this for decades. | 18:12 |
| ENKI-][ | that's because they are lagging behind the military-occult complex, which has been recruiting demons to do their coding since the days of atlantis | 18:14 |

| kanzure | QuantumG: i'm still not sure if you understand what it is that i am doing (the thing that caused the earlier confusion) | 18:36 |
| QuantumG | I doubt I am too | 18:37 |
| kanzure | or whether you (or even i) care enough to clarify | 18:37 |
| kanzure | basically i've written a CAD API thingy in python | 18:37 |
| QuantumG | go on then | 18:37 |
| kanzure | so that users can type stuff like sphere.fuse(box) and other random stuff | 18:37 |
| kanzure | autocad has had autolisp for a few decades now, for instance | 18:37 |
| kanzure | heekscad has heekspython (but i've never got it running) | 18:37 |
| kanzure | pythonocc is a good example except the api is terrible, and openscad is an ok example too but it doesn't export to CAD formats | 18:38 |
| kanzure | so anyway, my little python file here will be useless to a lot of people if no visualization is taking place | 18:38 |
| QuantumG | and is it more than CSG? | 18:39 |
| kanzure | boundary representation, nurbs, curves and solid geometry | 18:40 |
| QuantumG | fun | 18:40 |
| kanzure | but primarily the api part in python for now is just csg because Sphere() is an obvious thing for people to try | 18:41 |
| kanzure | so anyway, nobody is really going to use this unless there's a way to visualize the geometry as they update it | 18:41 |
| QuantumG | k, well for csg there's some "image based csg" stuff floating around | 18:43 |
| kanzure | opencsg? | 18:43 |
| QuantumG | I think you looked at it | 18:43 |
| QuantumG | yes | 18:43 |
| kanzure | fenn was pointing out some of the tessellation stuff that brlcad does for opennurbs stuff.. | 18:44 |
| kanzure | i wonder how opencascade does it | 18:44 |
| kanzure | i probably shouldn't be wondering that. that's a bad thing to wonder. | 18:44 |

| genehacker | darpa doesn't do astronomy | 19:25 |
| genehacker | errr... it might have been radio aperature I guess | 19:25 |
| QuantumG | I think DARPA might also be vying for planetary protection from asteroids these days too | 19:26 |
| genehacker | and ALIEN TERRORIST COMMIES FROM ANOTHER GALAXY! | 19:26 |
| QuantumG | planetary protection is perfectly serious | 19:26 |
| genehacker | it is | 19:27 |
| genehacker | it's just that it attracts less funding | 19:27 |
| QuantumG | I'm not sure it does | 19:27 |
| QuantumG | the asteroid surveys have certainly gotten more funding than traditional astronomy | 19:28 |
| kanzure | christine peterson calls peter thiel a "longevity philanthropist" but can anyone figure out what he's invested in related to longevity? livly? | 19:28 |
| kanzure | i guess he could have made a few donations to SENS or something and not publicized it | 19:28 |
