jrayhawkbecause HEAD is the thing basically everyone actually cares about13:31
jrayhawkcgit's compile products would be a lot less irritating if cgit were to check timestamps of its dependencies13:32
jrayhawks/its/their/13:32
jrayhawkI could sortof understand making a configurable set of diffs available inside of ikiwiki13:33
jrayhawkand having 'revert' buttons available for them13:34
kanzurethrpp screw it i'll just write dynamically-generated stuff and get it done in under a week..13:34
kanzurethen complain for the next 5 years about infrastructure scaling issues13:34
jrayhawkokay. if you clone piny-code and ./builddebs inside of it, all the commands should be properly noninteractive now13:35
jrayhawkso you can actually call them safely in executable form in an automated manner13:35
kanzurecool13:36
kanzurethe way that github does multiple user authentication is kind of funny now that i think about it13:36
kanzure"all users must push via git@github.com:/username"13:36
jrayhawkthe git user probably has a magic shell that works out that nonsense dynamically13:39
jrayhawkre: debian mirror: debian.svcs.cs.pdx.edu is already sitting on the same box as you; if you want i can just add stuff to the rsync list13:39
kanzurethat would be nice of you13:40
jrayhawkWhat's missing from it?13:40
kanzurethe packages are in gnusha:/home/bryan/public_html/irc/packages/13:41
kanzurehttp://diyhpl.us/~bryan/irc/packages/13:41
AlonzoTGMy internet was down for 18 hours beginning Midnight last night. But since I am not an upload, I was able to fix it.13:41
AlonzoTGIf I were an upload I'd be effectively dead with no way to do anything.13:41
kanzureAlonzoTG: because uploads can't use /dev/servo? you're silly13:42
AlonzoTG=\13:44
AlonzoTGWhy does my computer always wait until Friday evening to break?13:44
jrayhawkuh... so... what am i mirroring13:45
jrayhawkthis does not appear to be a debian repository13:46
kanzureyeah i gave up with debarchiver13:46
AlonzoTGWhat the hell are you talking about?13:46
kanzureAlonzoTG: read the logs or shutup13:46
kanzuregeeze. :P13:46
AlonzoTGWhy are you talking about version control archives in a transhumanist room?13:46
kanzureAlonzoTG: more importantly, why aren't *you*?13:46
AlonzoTGI try to skim the logs but they make no sense to me.13:46
jrayhawkhahaha this room is for ineffectual prognostication only13:46

AlonzoTGPlease zoom out a layer of abstraction,13:47
AlonzoTGWhat project are you working on?13:47
kanzureOperation Joe Hosts Lots of Bryan's Random Debs13:47
jrayhawkah, so you want a repository rather than a mirror13:47
kanzuredoi? i don't know what i want here- just that these should be in the same place and easy for others to grab13:48
AlonzoTGPlease zoom out a layer of abstraction and explain to me what you are working on.13:48
AlonzoTGI don't even know which repository you are talking about,13:48
AlonzoTGwhat's in it,13:48
AlonzoTGor why it's relevant to this channel.13:48

kanzureopencascade, heekscad, freecad, nanoengineer, openscad13:49
jrayhawkI don't really have the patient to run a parent repository, so, yeah, go ahead with whatever you want to do on gnusha13:49
jrayhawkJules has done quite a bit of repository-creation, though, so you might be able to interest him in it.13:50
jrayhawks/patient/patience13:50
AlonzoTGhttp://sourceforge.net/projects/ktechlab/13:50
AlonzoTGDo any of those packages do anything interesting?13:50
kanzureAlonzoTG: nanoengineer is open-source nanotech CAD; opencascade is a CAD kernel for 3D mechanical engineering; etc.13:51
AlonzoTGI'm not smart enough to use those effectively.13:51
AlonzoTG=\13:51
AlonzoTGOr rather I project it would not be time effective for me to work on those because it would be 10,000 times more efficient to sic an AI on the problem.13:52
kanzureuh, just read the documentation?13:52
kanzurelol 10,000 times more efficient to use something that doesn't exist?13:52
kanzurejrayhawk: ok13:52
uniqanomaly_haha, good one13:53
AlonzoTGYes, because my project would require me to understand approximately 2,000,000 different organic molecules, my human brain is not capable of processing that much information so therefore I require an AI to do it.13:53
jrayhawknanoengineering is mostly done with non-reactives13:53
AlonzoTGYes, but does it actually work?13:54
AlonzoTG=P13:54
AlonzoTGNot yet.13:54
kanzurenanoengineer's older snapshot works13:54
AlonzoTGBut that's applying 19th century machine technologies to a 21st century problem.13:54

jrayhawkman, you took my 'ineffectual prognostication only' edict way too seriously13:55
kanzurejrayhawk: are you trying to say i should stop feeding the troll?13:55
AlonzoTGDoes the package have a website? Can I actually use the software for anything?13:56
kanzurehttp://diyhpl.us/cgit/nanoengineer13:56
AlonzoTGThat is not to say I don't applaud the effort,13:56

jrayhawkJonano at least had specific goals in mind when he was being irritatingly disruptive.13:57
kanzurebecoming a billionaire?13:58
jrayhawkHe very clearly cared about his poorly-thought-out projects.13:58
AlonzoTGOK, I guess I don't have anything useful to say about nanotechnology. =(14:00
AlonzoTGMy problem is that there is nothing I can do with that software except produce pretty pictures.14:01
AlonzoTGSo therefore I find it difficult to find anything interesting about it.14:01

AlonzoTGYeah, nanotech has been promising for decades, I even joined a group called the "nanotechnology dream team" about 13 years ago.14:03
AlonzoTGbut then I can't see it ever becoming practical without AI, Indeed, drexler even proposed an AI system to advance the design of his nanotech in Engines of Creation written so many years ago.14:04
kanzuredid you read either of those two links?14:05
AlonzoTGI'm looking at the second one.14:05

AlonzoTGHmm,14:09
AlonzoTGNow that the cobwebs on that side of my brain are starting to clear, it seems plausible that it might be possible to nano-fabricate computer parts on a scale of less than 1cm^314:10
AlonzoTGThose might be extremely effective...14:10
AlonzoTGAnd any fabrication process that could yield good volume and cost less than about half a gigaclam to capitalize could make you a mint... That's about all you could do with it though,14:11
AlonzoTGBecause logic gates are relatively simple and have simple structures.14:11
AlonzoTGYou would need to understand a ton of quantum mechanics though...14:11
AlonzoTGBut large scale products are pretty much out of the question until you have AI...14:12
AlonzoTGThat can deal with all the messyness.14:12
kanzurewhat messyness?14:12
kanzurewhat is it with you and ai? just assume it doesn't exist and solve the problem14:12

AlonzoTGOK, so how does fiddling with the tiny number of atoms the human brain can comprehend fit into your quest for total world domination?15:13
thesnarkObvious. Control at the atom level means a finer grain of control, so he can control all humans more easily.15:14
thesnarkIt may also make controlling other humans cheaper15:14
kanzureAlonzoTG: have you ever used avogadro's number for anything?15:15
AlonzoTGIt seems my brain is suffering the after effects of my recent bout of internet deprivation. =(15:15
thesnarkkanzure is our infallible leader, like Kim Jong Il only for his special quest to create Calxism15:15
AlonzoTGYes, that's my point.15:15
AlonzoTGToday's computers can only count to around 10^18th, so it would seem that they would have difficulty dealing with that many atoms...15:16
AlonzoTGActually 1.6 * 10^19 to be exact.15:16
AlonzoTGSo for objects larger than a few cm^2, you're asking your computer to be atomically precise about a number of atoms larger than it can count...15:17
thesnark10^18 is only 64 bits...15:18
AlonzoTGYep...15:18
AlonzoTGI use a 64 bit computer.15:18
kanzurealgorithmically creating atomically precise structures is pretty easy even if you can't count each atom15:18
kanzurea drilling bit easily has many trillions of atoms, but you don't see solidworks crashing15:18
thesnark1) Architectures supporting > 64 bits have been created 2) It wouldn't be too big of a stretch to design your own 3) larger counts are achievable in parallel15:18
thesnarkYou may have to deal with the data a little differently15:19
thesnarkbut you can count higher than that15:19
kanzuresome of the nanoengineer people want to visualize ridiculous numbers of atoms simultaneously, but i'm not sure that's ever really needed.. maybe visualizing a few 100k's of atoms at once, but beyond that you don't "see" atoms any more15:19
AlonzoTGYeah, I'm aware of some of the techniques, You abstract away regularly structured sub-assemblies.15:19
AlonzoTGor use fractal patterning.15:20
thesnarkso 10^23 is really not such a big deal15:20
AlonzoTG6.04 * 10^23...15:20

AlonzoTGBut yeah, a 1-nS high-density ram cell could really change the world,15:23
AlonzoTGIt could multiply the performance of today's computers on large dataset problems by a factor of ten, instantly!15:23
AlonzoTGActually, to really max out my current chip, it would be awesome to have a few terabytes of 300 pS RAM on15:25
AlonzoTG-chip15:25
AlonzoTGI'll have to double-check the architectual limits of my chip...15:26
AlonzoTGbut yeah, that should be feasible with only a few hundred layers of cells on a square cM of space...15:26
AlonzoTG-- basically replace the die area devoted to L3 cache.15:27
AlonzoTGand external memory interface...15:27
kanzureok well get back to me when you're done building your semiconductor fab for that15:27
AlonzoTGIt would be a double benefit to the 6000 series opteron because the chip was limited by a 2,000 pin budget, if both the 128 bit memory controllers never had to talk to anything outside the module, that would make things much easier.15:28
AlonzoTG!!!15:28
AlonzoTGI thought that was the entire point of your work in nanotech?????15:28
AlonzoTGI thought you were talking about nanotech and the clearest short-term goal for nanotech are computer parts, and the easiest sub-unit of a computer to work on is the D-RAM because all you need to do is figure out how a cell works, and then multiply it by a few trillion...15:30
kanzuretruly you have a dizzying intellect15:31
AlonzoTGSo what the fuck are you working on anyway? (this is far from the first time I've asked you this)15:31
kanzurehttp://gnusha.org/skdb/ is a pretty good interview15:32
kanzureoverview15:32
AlonzoTGI guess that might be useful...15:35
AlonzoTGI don't have any machine tools,15:35
AlonzoTGnor enough needs to justify obtaining machine tools (not counting the space limitations of a townhouse).15:35
AlonzoTGand the needs I do have seem to exceed the capabilities of the machine tools I can obtain...15:36
AlonzoTGI am in the process of spending $400 to have a spline cut in a shaft coupler to turn the input shaft on my project car's transmission.15:36
AlonzoTGAnother problem is engineering and fabricating a motor mount...15:37
AlonzoTGWhen you get to a problem such as "fab me a GF", then there seem to be a hundred sub-problems that seem to come before dealing with pushing blue-prints around.15:39
AlonzoTGNot that I'm saying your work isn't valuable, it is, it is just not something I can get into right now, because I have a ton of other work in front of me.15:39

fennalso, that's not the same model18:18
fennthingiverse probably uses "ambient" lighting18:18
kanzuretrue.. but setting up a grid, better colors, etc. is a good idea18:18
fennthe grid is stupid18:19
timschmidtright18:19
fenna bounding box with actual dimensions might be useful (like emc does)18:19
timschmidtfenn: why do you say?  it's nice to have a point of reference for size18:19
kanzurehaha what's the size/scale of the grid?18:19
timschmidt1cm grids would be nice18:19
timschmidtIDK about thingiverse's grids18:19
kanzurefenn: screenshots or it's not real?18:20
kanzureemc box thing18:20
timschmidtbetter yet would be a dynamic grid with grid size that made sense for the model sie18:20
timschmidtsize18:20
kanzurefor stl it's not easy to determine size.. for other file origins i'm sure i'll extract dimensions18:21
timschmidt? somehow STLs I generate from myriad applications all come out appropriately sized when printed.18:21
timschmidtthere must be a convention18:21

fennis it not possible to use opengl without X?18:40
fennhttp://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/9v2qe/opengl_on_a_headless_server/18:41
kanzurethis might just mean "without a monitor"18:41
kanzure"On a headless server you could use Xvfb, the X Virtual Framebuffer. It's basically a "virtual" X server that runs without X. I believe the Ubuntu package is just called xvfb (in Fedora it's called xorg-x11-server-Xvfb)"18:43
kanzurejrayhawk: you work with friggin' bart massey, don't you know weird/obscure xorg related things like this?18:44
* fenn mumbles something about http://www.virtualgl.org/About/Introduction18:44

kanzure"FEMhub is an open source distribution of scientific computing codes with a unified Python interface. Use the link on the left to see the current list of codes included. "20:03
kanzurei wish someone would put a stop to calling these programs and algorithms "codes"20:03
kanzurei know it's leftovers from the 50s/60s but come on, someone has to realize that it just doesn't work like that any more20:03
fennthat's how you know it's super scientific and numerical20:04
kanzurethat's how you know it's fortran and should be burned20:04
fenni wonder if github can display more than 99 repositories or if that's some sort of artificial limit20:06
fennor maybe he just has 99 repositories20:06
kanzureso is it in github's best interest to encourage or discourage forking? lots of people "fork and forget" on github20:07
fenn"forking" isnt quite the same in git20:07
fennmost of what's on github amounts to patch submissions20:08
fennthey probably have some backend that only stores the diffs20:08
kanzureyeah, if you click 'fork' with their button20:08
fennbut you can fit a lot of code duplication on a 1TB drive20:08
fenn2TB drives are now below $10020:09
fenni wonder if kurzweil has a clock showing the amount of various commodities you can purchase for $100020:09
kanzuredoes that mean i can now get a 1995 copy of the web from the internet archive?20:10
fennif you ask nicely20:10
kanzurei'd be willing to donate money to internet archive if they weren't a single point of failure.. or flaky..20:11
jebbakanzure, may i suggest adding "shop" as a place where fabrication occurs, which may be more that 1 in a project.  e.g. shop in CZ has laser, shop in DE has welding iron, etc.20:12
fennjebba why do all your demos require a login?20:13

jebbawell, for frontaccounting, which was one i set up here.20:14
kanzurefenn: jebba dropped me some usernames/passwords for his demos :P20:15
jebbawell, inventory management as part of an accounting package. That is frontaccouting, which i set up awhile back. Just now i set up redmine, which is more project management gantt charts, wikis, etc.20:15
jebbathough i think it would be cool to have a public view of frontaccounting with obvious things removed (e.g. account numbers)20:16
