BioGuyNo worries, your the one that posted on the PDX hackerspace group a little bit ago right?00:54
BioGuyThis is you, right? https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/pdx-diybioscitechthink/REqrItwgP6g00:55
nmz787yes01:01
nmz787doesn't it link to my profile somehow?01:01
nmz787to show nmz787?01:01
nmz787anyway, yes, how are you tonight/01:02
klafkabored!01:03
strangewarpAccelerando had a good beginning and a boring ending01:03
BioGuyNot bad, looking at openspectrometer.com01:04
BioGuyYour out in Hillsboro?01:04
BioGuyJust out of curiosity, anything specific make you want to use the propeller microcontroller?01:13
nmz787yeah it's got 8 cores01:14
nmz787makes glue logic pretty easy01:14
nmz787otherwise i'd need to learn how to prog a FPGA or CPLD01:15
nmz787which would prob take a year at least01:15
nmz787well maybe 3 mo01:15
nmz787but overall that would be less hackable for most ppl01:16
archelsWhy not an off-the-shelf ARM processor?01:16
BioGuyWe should try and meetup sometime. I'm pretty close to Hillsboro - right in Beaverton01:16
nmz787archels: not multi-core01:16
klafkastrangewarp: it's hard to end that01:16
archelsnmz787: it's easy to make it multitask01:17
nmz787hard to make things happen at the same time01:17
nmz787you'd need a scheduler though01:17
archelsyep, there's a lot of code out there that you can reuse though.01:19
archelsthe Propellor may lead to a simpler programming model for, well, the programmer, but isn't it hugely overpowered for your application?01:20
BioGuynmz787 You have a lab set up out in Hillsboro?01:21
-!- Juul [~Juul@208.87.217.74] has joined ##hplusroadmap01:21
nmz787archels: easy is good in this case01:21
nmz787BioGuy: yeah i'm collaborating with a micromilling company01:22
archelsheh, okay01:22
* archels can get a little perfectionistic at times01:22
BioGuyYou need to pay rent?01:23
nmz787BioGuy: you got work for me?01:26
BioGuyHaha, no just wondering what the cost was for your workspace out there01:27
nmz787there are always expenses... school loans are coming to be due01:27
nmz787ahh, nothing too certain right now, it's on a casual basis since their lab is pretty underused01:28
BioGuyYou still going to school or working in Hillsboro?01:28
nmz787I started a class at PSU downtown, but it was too early and I couldn't concentrate on the homework01:28
nmz787I spend most of my time reading about things related in any way to microfluidics and DNA synthesis/manipulation01:29
nmz787i am trying to learn to use kicad now01:29
nmz787to makea board for openspectrometer01:30
abetuskI'm learning KiCAD too01:32
BioGuyI'm just finishing up my bioscience technology associates at PCC, but I definitely want to meet people interested in DIYBio01:32
nmz787BioGuy: i got some work earlier this month doing some biotech consulting01:32
nmz787it would be nice to drum up more of that01:33
nmz787BioGuy: cool, seriously please shoot me an email if you hear of work01:33
nmz787science, electronics, programming01:34
nmz787digging ditches01:34
BioGuyLOL!01:34
nmz787chainsawing trees, digging trail01:34
nmz787engine repair01:34
nmz787welding01:34
BioGuyHave you taken a look at Kelly Scientific?01:35
nmz787no01:35
jrayhawkprofessional tree removal looked like one hell of a lot of fun01:35
@kanzureprofessional tree killer01:35
nmz787i like trail work01:36
nmz787away from the commoners01:36
@kanzurecommoners..?01:36
nmz787most wild nature doesn't fuck with you too much01:36
nmz787yeah, i'm kind of a shut-in nerd computer type01:37
@kanzurei have a strong negative reaction to anyone who is espousing that others are lessers01:37
BioGuynmz787 Do you have your bachelors and working towards your graduates degree right now?01:37
nmz787i'm not saying that01:37
nmz787i'm saying i don't mesh well with them01:38
nmz787BioGuy: no i suck at school and need 3 classes to graduate with a bachelors01:38
nmz787they will probably take me another year to finish01:38
nmz787i really just want to make microfluidics01:38
nmz787and it's been eating away at me01:39
nmz787so i need to try it and succeed or fail, to move on01:39
nmz787hah01:39
nmz787but school helped me get here, so i can't be too upset with school01:40
BioGuyI had to bail this term myself, just need one more class to hurry up and get my associates.01:40
nmz787it's not the learning, it's more the way the system is setup01:40
nmz787that i have trouble with01:40
nmz787BioGuy: I'm gonna go drop in on a company I want to try and get a job with01:41
nmz787BioGuy: in beaverton01:41
nmz787BioGuy: so maybe afterwards we can meet up01:41
nmz787BioGuy: which day and time is best for you?01:41
BioGuyI'm kind of feeling the same way. In my program we actually did the work so I enjoyed it. But when I tried to go back taking the regular classes to work towards my bachelors I got really bored. Its really frustrating for me to read about lots of things but not actually DO anything with it.01:41
BioGuyWell, since I had to drop my classes this term the only thing I really have on my schedule is to go back to a guy I used to drive cars around for and see if he needs any extra help. Other than that my schedule is really wide open for the time being.01:43
nmz787ahh01:44
nmz787well shoot me a text tomorrow when you're bored 412-677-820701:44
BioGuyAlright sounds good. What time you going to that company in Beaverton? I also have a bunch of lab chemistry lab gear out at the Portland hackerspace and a few reagents too. They're all really into mostly computer stuff though. I think it would be cool to find someone who wants to tinker with bio / chemistry01:48

chris_99hehe10:49
BioGuyAnyone know of a decent entry level CAD program for someone who's never done CAD before?10:50
BioGuyfor linux10:50
klafkaThomasEgi: numpy.savez10:52
klafkaThomasEgi: people use pickle and cPickle for serializing objects to file10:52
klafkanot for streaming or whatever10:52
klafkaalso i think json.dump does as well10:52
@kanzureBioGuy: brlcad10:54
ThomasEgiisnt brlcad pretty difficult to learn?10:55
@kanzurenope10:55
@kanzureklafka: pickle is full of terrible security holes. so is yaml.10:55
ThomasEgiklafka, i usualy use struct. ways more secure10:55
@kanzureif you need something that is transfer-efficient, i would recommend protobufs.10:55
BioGuyThanks Kanzure, taking a look now10:56
klafkai'm just using the scipy.io.savemat function now10:56
klafkaso it's storingit in the .mat format10:56
klafkai know htat can handle big files10:56
BioGuykanzure: Do you know if with BRL-CAD if you can apply material properties and simulate how environmental factors will affect whatever your making?11:05
BioGuyor do material properties only affect 3d rendering?11:06
harrymarvfreecad is the best entry level i rekon11:14
harrymarvFreeCAD: An Open Source parametric 3D CAD modeler11:15
harrymarvFree - BSD, Linux, Mac OS, Windows11:16
harrymarvFreeCAD is aimed directly at mechanical engineering and product design but also fits in a wider range of uses around engineering, such as architecture or other engineering specialties11:17
harrymarvFreeCAD features tools similar to CATIA, Creo, Autodesk Inventor, SolidWorks or Solid Edge, and therefore also falls into the category of MCAD, PLM, CAx and CAE.11:17
harrymarvcan be used with all the 3d rendering software aswell11:18
BioGuyYa Im looking at FreeCAD too right now11:19
harrymarv(like Blender. maya, 3ds Max or Cinema 4D)11:20
harrymarvFreeCAD is intended to make use of other open-source libraries from the field of Scientific Computing. Among them are Open CASCADE (a CAD kernel), Coin3D (an incarnation of Open Inventor), the Qt GUI Framework, and Python, a popular scripting language.11:20
harrymarvOpen CASCADE Technology (OCCT) for 3D surface and solid modeling, visualization, data exchange and rapid application development11:23
harrymarvSALOME - free software that provides a generic platform for Pre- and Post-Processing for numerical simulation11:23
@kanzureopencascade is a dead-end because their source code is unmaintainable11:25
@kanzuresalome is just them trying to reuse their source code11:25
@kanzurefreecad is just a qt front-end to opencascade, so it suffers all of the limitations of opencascade.11:26
@kanzurein addition, opencascade itself has licensing issues because its owners are dickfaces and confused.11:26
harrymarvAerodynamic flows over the Formula One car11:27
@kanzurewhat about it11:27
harrymarvOpen CASCADE Technology is a software development platform freely available in open source. It includes C++ components for 3D surface and solid modeling, visualization, data exchange and rapid application development.11:27
@kanzureit's like you're not listening11:28
harrymarvsoftware development facilities were sold to Dassault Systemes, editor of competing CATIA. Next year Matra Datavision decided to publish its CAS.CADE infrastructure under an Open Source model and renamed it Open CASCADE11:29
@kanzureCERN was using CASCADE for a few years.11:29
harrymarvbuy catia then11:29
@kanzurebuying catia doesn't give you a good open source solution, sadly11:29
harrymarvcatia is $10,00011:30
@kanzureso what11:30
harrymarvper workstation11:30
harrymarvor get freecad for free11:30
@kanzurethere's a torrent, or you could just pay $10,000 you know.11:30
@kanzurefreecad is sort of a dead-end because opencascade is unmaintainable.11:30
harrymarvthats your choice11:30
@kanzureno, it wasn't my choice that it is unmaintainable11:30
@kanzurewtf dude11:30
harrymarvcatia or freecad with simlar functionaly, your choice11:31
@kanzureanyone who has used freecad knows how often it crashes from segmentation faults and null pointers.11:31
harrymarvor get autocad anf pay about $2000 with less functionality11:32
@kanzureautocad is not open source either11:32
harrymarvthan freecad or catia11:32
@kanzurei think i hate you11:32
harrymarvor u can get a demo of solidworks11:33
@kanzureharrymarv: conversations go much better if you try to read and understand other people's messages11:33
@kanzureharrymarv: solidworks is not open source either.11:33
harrymarvid say freecad being free and the mostr functional makes it the best11:34
@kanzureBioGuy: i haven't used anything in brlcad about materials, sorry.11:34
@kanzureharrymarv: it's really not that great, though. have you read the opencascade source code for freecad, or have you tried to make a patch?11:34
harrymarvdid i say solidworks was open source, no i didnt11:34
@kanzurewe were talking about open source cad programs11:34
harrymarvi said u can get a demo11:35
ThomasEgihow about medusa4? it's not open source but free of cost and comes with a linux version11:35
@kanzureand then you start bringing up catia and autodesk and solidworks, which aren't contenders in that category11:35
harrymarvok freecad then is the best open source cad period11:35
@kanzureheekscad seemed less crashy than freecad to me, plus it was based on the same library that freecad uses.11:35
@kanzurebrlcad is by far the best because of their stubborn refusal to compromise on quality, maintainability, testing and awesomeness.11:36

BioGuyharrymarv Why are you not considering BRL-CAD as an option?11:36
@kanzurethe only downside to brlcad is that it doesn't support nurbs geometry at the moment (other than some very primitive operations), but most people don't need that.11:36
@kanzureat the very least, brlcad blows openscad out of the water.11:38
harrymarvits upto you, they are similar, i think freecad is easier to learn thats all11:38
@kanzureor bulldozes. insert appropriate metaphor.11:38
harrymarvthey will function equally well11:38
@kanzurelearning freecad is sorta useless, because the core functionality will never improve.11:38
harrymarvtry them both out11:39
@kanzurei have, fuck you for assuming otherwise11:39
harrymarvand choose as you wish11:39
@kanzurechoices should be informed11:39
@kanzureyou are just spreading disinformation11:39
@kanzurealso, nothing i have said is about the usability of freecad and i don't see how you could conclude otherwise from my messages.11:40

BioGuySo after you create something in BRL-CAD is it a relatively simple process to print out 2D plans with dimensions to actually make your design?11:55
@kanzuredunno.11:57
ThomasEgito make your design? from a 2d plan?... that's so the late 19th century11:57
@kanzurealso, for the record, harrymarv was kicked because of his weird identity issues and multi-opinionism crap, not because of freecad. in case anyone asks.11:58
ThomasEgitoday, most companies making stuff work on cad data exclusively.11:58

@kanzureyashgaroth: how likely is it that there's any surrogacy clinic doing genetic work pre-implantation?19:26
yashgarothin the world? I'd put it at 50/50 for human germline modification in general right now19:27
@kanzurewhat about stem cell -> embryo work? i think there was a paper about that recently, so it's probably not happening yet.19:28
@kanzureerm i mean stem cell -> germline cell lines19:28
yashgarothyou mean like nuclear cloning?19:28
@kanzuresure19:29
yashgarothor growing germ cells in vitro19:29
@kanzureeh i just mean "for people who don't have embryos laying around" in general.19:29
yashgarothoh I can get you an embryo19:29
@kanzurehaha19:30
@kanzureanyway, i'm trying to figure out if there's any fertility clinics that are doing genetic work already.19:30
yashgarothIVF is pretty well advanced, they can test for recessive disorders etc, so it should be easy to test if a transgene is present in the embryo19:30
yashgarothif you expose the sperm to a viral vector, or use sperm-mediated gene transfer19:30
@kanzurewhat about modifying the embryonic genome though19:31
@kanzure(not the sperm)19:31
yashgarothor inject a virus into the testes and use cell sorting to select a transformed sperm19:31
yashgarothoh uh that's more complicated19:31
@kanzurethis is why i am asking :p19:31

@kanzurea friend of mine claims he had genetic work done prior to implanting the embryo in a surrogate19:32
yashgarothviruses have a variable efficiency, so you don't really want to expose embryos to them and hope for the best19:32
yashgarothare you sure he wasn't talking about genetic testing?19:32
@kanzureand for whatever reason i didn't follow up with him on that immediately (he was swollowed by a crowd of people)19:32
@kanzuremaybe he was, he likes to talk himself up like that :)19:32
@kanzureno i was thinking of something like somatic nuclear transfer of a modified genome into an embryo or something19:33
yashgarothtesting for recessive disorders and trisomy and such are doable by single-cell pcr on one cell from an 8-cell embryo19:33
@kanzures/embryo/blastocyte or whatever the earlier stage is supposed to be called19:33
yashgarothoh well sure that's just traditional cloning19:33
yashgarothplus the genetic modification19:33
-!- augur [~augur@208.58.5.87] has joined ##hplusroadmap19:34
yashgarothso you infect a region of skin or whatever with the virus, and then transfer a bunch of transformed nuclei19:34
@kanzurehuh? i would have expected that to be done in vitro.19:35
yashgarothyou could do, I suppose19:35
yashgarothI was gonna say 'it's such a hassle to grow primary cells' but then again nuclear transfer is infinitely more hassle19:36
@kanzurewhat do you mean? hard to find and poke a cell and make sure it takes?19:36
yashgarothmhm, the efficiency of somatic transfer is still absurdly low, and you get a lot of weird abnormalities19:36
yashgarothI'm trying to put myself in the mind of a clandestine chinese government lab19:37
yashgarothI'd always focused my interest on germ cell modification, since that's a lot easier19:38

@kanzure"On July 1, 1955 SPIE was founded as the Society of Photographic Instrumentation Engineers in California to specialize in the application of photographic instrumentation. In 1964 the Society formally changed its name to the Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers."20:25
@kanzure"In 1977 SPIE moved its headquarters to Bellingham, Washington, and in 1981, to reflect a changing Membership, the Society began doing business as SPIEā€”The International Society for Optical Engineering. In 2007, the Society ended its DBA, and is referred to simply as SPIE."20:25

delinquentmebut thats just the one researchers feedback20:53
@fennyou can only have 4 plates with your current rubber band strategy20:53
@kanzurebut really he was serious about bart20:53
delinquentmethe concrete is AWESOME ballast ... That thing could shake like 6 levels high20:53
delinquentmekanzure, im staying local for tonight :D20:54
delinquentmefenn, correct .. but rubberbands are cheap20:54
delinquentme31 plates on a layer20:54
delinquentmeso for PLATES20:54
delinquentmeits awesomely dense20:54
@fennhm i guess they'll pack together since they're all the same size and shape20:54
delinquentmeand like tissue culture wells ... the 6 well ones... would work amazingly with its current setup20:54
@fennyou couldn't do that with round flasks though20:55
@fenn31 is an odd number20:55
@fennand a prime, but what i mean is i'd expect something like a square or a rectangular number20:56
Juulyour amazing rubber band technology has some limitations20:56
delinquentmehahah20:56
delinquentmetrue.20:56
@fennlike the inability to remove a single plate from the center without disassembling the whole shebang20:56
delinquentmefenn, true ... those are mounting issues20:56
delinquentmeI wonder if I've got a sketch of the other mount option ...20:57
delinquentmeor schematic rather20:57
Juuljust use more gravity20:58
@fennnop. maybe vacuum would work, but really it just needs more rubber bands20:58
Juulmore gravity ~= more gravity20:58
Juulach ~= more rubber bands20:58
* Juul fails20:58
@fennunfortunately we don't yet possess artificial gravity technology, we only have inertial mass20:58
@fennone rubber band per plate, holes on diagonals20:59
@fennsomething like 75% on a pie chart21:00
@fennyou can add two bands for irregularly shaped containers21:01
@fenna c-shaped hole i mean21:01
delinquentmeso I could almost just mount a perf board to it21:01
@fennyeah21:01
@fennnon-slip foam tool cabinet liner might be a good idea too21:02
@fennjust to increase friction. at low shake rates you might not even need hold-downs21:03
delinquentmefenn, yeah rubber bands are cheap21:04
delinquentmeLemme find the sketch for the other option21:04
delinquentmeI've got a simple solution to put the bands about 2" above the surface ... just in a grid ... that way you just stretch the bands and you can put something like an erlenmeyer21:05
