kanzureSEM needs work?15:51
nmz787probably power realted15:52

nmz787kanzure: start of what looks to be where this example does intersection (I want to add and connect a bend to that channel I made) https://github.com/nmz787/verb/blob/master/example/threeMeshIntersectExample.html#L39715:58
nmz787in this example, though, they use THREE to tesselate, while here I guese they push that elsewhere (lightgl maybe?) https://github.com/nmz787/verb/blob/master/example/geometry.html16:00
kanzurehttps://github.com/pboyer/verb/blob/803e560d0decd21e8c36e6ccf68408860ddbf43f/src/eval/intersect.js#L112216:00
kanzurethis is mesh intersection and not nurbs intersection16:01
kanzurealthough intersect_rational_surface_surface_by_aabb_refine might be nurbs16:02
kanzurehmm intersect_rational_surface_surface_by_aabb_refine also does tessellation, so nope16:02
nmz787hmm, so, it's less mathy and more iterative?16:03
nmz787err, more discretized?16:04
nmz787i mean doing the intersection on the meshes16:05
nmz787rather than intersecting and coming out with new control points and/or knots, etc16:05
nmz787so doing it on meshes means less performance?16:06
nmz787does anything else do NURBS intersection? brl?16:06

kanzurein 2012 and 2013 they implemented nurbs-nurbs intersection math16:09
-!- Viper168 [~Viper@unaffiliated/viper168] has joined ##hplusroadmap16:14
nmz787is that accessible from brl-python?16:16
kanzurenope16:18
kanzuretheir work on nurbs-nurbs intersection was in c++16:18
kanzureand python-brlcad only has access to anything that can be ctypes'd16:18
kanzureso i would have to write a c wrapper around their c++ stuff16:18
kanzurehmm i saw that diybio email where someone is complaining about microfluidics cad, i don't think most cad software is going to be really appropriate16:38
kanzurea generic parts library would be better16:38

nmz787so I wonder if CAD programming is out of the question for hinm17:12
kanzurei don't think that stl is a good export format for microfluidics17:12

kanzuressh transparent proxy stuff https://github.com/apenwarr/sshuttle17:19
nmz787I have no idea why this intersection section of the example is so ugly and difficult looking17:19
nmz787with implicitCAD it was just union or difference17:20
kanzureimplicitcad was not doing mesh-based intersections17:21
kanzureas far as i know17:21
kanzurei believe i warned you that verbnurbs did not have nurbs surface-surface intersection yet17:21
nmz787yeah but you didn't answer as to if that only related to performance or somthing else17:26
kanzureit's literally not implemented17:26
nmz787that doesn't answer the question17:26
kanzurewhat?17:27
kanzureif you didn't want nurbs then you would just use stl mesh "cad"17:27
nmz787the question is how nurbs and mesh intersection differ/compare/perform-relatively17:27
kanzurenurbs is curves, stl isn't17:28
nmz787why not mesh the NURBS then intersect... only reason I can see if potentially massive difference in performance17:28
nmz787the STL is just discretized from the NURBS though17:28
kanzureoften there's more than one intersection you want in an object17:28
nmz787sure17:29
nmz787that seems unrelated though, or an aside17:29
nmz787unless you're again coming back to performance17:29
nmz787saying that there would need to be many more meshes created before intersection occurs17:29
nmz787but you aren't saying anything really17:29
nmz787so I can't understand your concern17:30
kanzureanything can be called performance... "the performance of the intersection algorithm" "the performance of the curve" "the memory performance"17:30
kanzurethere's a degradation in output quality the more you use meshes17:30
kanzuremeshes are not curves17:30
kanzure(naturally, there can be a mesh of curved surfaces but that's not what it means in this context)17:31
kanzureif you take the intersection of two meshes you have a degradation17:31
kanzureif you take the intersection of two curved surfaces you do not have a degradation depending on your intersection algorithm choice17:31
kanzureif your "nurbs" intersection algorithm is "convert both surfaces to meshes, then intersect using bounding boxes" then you will also have a degradation17:32
kanzureanyway, after you convert to a mesh you are stuck with a mesh, rather than a nurbs object17:32
kanzurea perfect nurbs sphere can happen with <100 kilobytes of memory, and a perfect stl mesh sphere would take theoretically an unlimited amount of memory i guess17:33
nmz787ok, so performance degrades with mesh, cool17:36
nmz787you could have just said that in the first place17:36
kanzure"performance"17:36
kanzurei don't think that word means what you think it means17:37
nmz787and "precision/accuracy"17:37
nmz787sure, with quotes around it makes perfect sense17:37
kanzurethere's a lot of knowledge that saying "precision/accuracy/performance" is totally missing out on17:37
nmz787so what17:37
kanzurewell, you're missing out on a lot of potential conclusions that i don't know why you are ignoring17:38
nmz787the point is I got the info out of you17:38
nmz787;)17:38
kanzureuh?17:38
nmz787no, I am not interested in unlimited resolution, nanometers at most... so bounded by that constraint, performance in general (or time to render a result and how well that rendering is formed) is better for nurbs intersection vs mesh intersection17:39
kanzurerendering is only useful for visualization really, in which case you might as well not use nurbs at all17:39
kanzureor any cad for that matter. it could just be povray or pretty pics painted on walls.17:39
kanzurecad intersection errors are known to cause actual problems17:41
nmz787wrong, i can't use nurbs for grbl for driving a lithography machine17:42
nmz787i need it rendered to gcode17:42
nmz787or BMP17:42
kanzurewasn't this what fenn was telling you about the other day...17:42
nmz787?17:43
nmz787you seem to have forgotten then17:43
nmz787because why would you not remember needing gcode?17:43
kanzurewhy have i forgotten?17:43
kanzurehuh?17:44
kanzureyou generate gcode based on the final model, not the intermediates17:44
nmz787sure17:45
nmz787unless you want to test the intermediates or something17:45
nmz787why do you mention it?17:45
kanzureyou are interested in correct models17:45
kanzurewithout error propagation from mesh-based intersections17:46
nmz787you wouldn't call that performance related? I would17:46
kanzureperformance is just a really vague term17:46
nmz787a crappy ferrari replica that literally 'cut corners' and didn't run very well would be considered having crappy performance relative to a real ferrari17:46
nmz787i.e. they intersected their engine head curves with the valves using meshes rather than nurbs17:47
nmz787vague is good though in some cases17:47
nmz787it covers all this17:47
nmz787it makes for not-long-like-this discussions on IRC for example17:47
nmz787but I digress, you gave reasonable info after some time, so I am happier with that knowedge17:48
nmz787knowledge17:48
kanzureif you are primarily interested in (especially browser-based) visualizations for human inspection i strongly encourage you to stick to mesh-based intersection algorithms because there's lots of those. and also you will have quicker results and you will be less frustrated and wont blame it on me.17:52

delinquentmekanzure, you said that you've only looked over configuring graphite right?21:36
delinquentmenot actually implemented?21:36
delinquentmefenn, no such thing.21:36
kanzurei have been implicated in the practice of many dark arts21:36
delinquentmethe island, its a hollywood tutorial21:36
delinquentmego make it happen21:36
kanzurei am currently not responsible for any active graphite servers21:36
fennhow do i get off the island21:37
delinquentmecurrently troubleshooting a system21:37
delinquentmefenn, you're already off it.  You want to BUILD it21:37
fennoh21:37
kanzureyou are the island21:37
fennEVERY MAN21:37
* kanzure consults with patri friedman's scalp21:38
fennphrenologist21:38
kanzurehush21:38
kanzureyeah if bioethics and anti-GMOers have problems with just these very basic concepts, i wonder how they will respond when they learn what sex is21:38
fennwhy is it that every bioethicist is solidly AGAINST whatever new technology21:40
fennwhat about the billions of people currently dying, what about them!21:40
kanzurealso, why isn't mansanto funding anti-anti-GMO bioethicists?21:40
fennbecause they don't need to21:41
fennthe just sell corn, man21:41
kanzureat that scale you hedge bets like crazy21:41
kanzurethrowing a few dollars to some people to write up ethics of biowhatever is a non-decision for them21:41
fenni guarantee monsanto has zero research into human genetic engineering21:41
kanzureoh sure21:41
kanzuredefinitely21:41
fenni'd love it if the first genetically engineered human was completely indistinguishable from any other human21:44
kanzureyou should just claim you're genetically engineered21:46
kanzureby your parents21:46
kanzurethrough a natural process called fertilization21:47
kanzurei suppose for you to claim this you would first have to believe you're actually human21:47
kanzureand i've never asked you about that21:47
* fenn invokes the no-philosophy rule21:49

nmz787apparently this exists https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/coast-to-coast-journal-club21:58
kanzurehmm i don't get those genspace emails21:59
kanzurevery curious21:59
kanzurei've always hated how exclusive out-group/in-group genspace has been21:59
kanzureway to run a community21:59
kanzure"Mary Ward here at Counter Culture Labs has been very interested in restarting the journal club, but she can't seem to join the mailing list."22:00
kanzurewhat?22:00
kanzure"Did anyone else get disconnected from the journal club this afternoon on Ibuprofen and aging?"22:00
kanzurei bet they are using google hangouts :(22:00
fennlame22:00
kanzure"Someone mentioned that zoom.us doesn't work with linux - that true? Is there any way to mirror it so people can watch in real time at least?"22:01
kanzureman people are just awful22:01
kanzurewhy are people so awful?22:01
kanzurei think there's this awfulness force field that permeates the world like aether22:01
kanzureand it just gets strongly concentrated in places22:02
delinquentmekanzure, why is this awful ?22:02
nmz787because they don't just use google hangouts since they're using incompatible/non-free stuff to begin22:03
fennfor one, why would you need a video stream to talk about a journal article22:03
kanzureyes, a video stream is totally stupid for this22:03
kanzurethis is the same reason why openworm is evil22:03
kanzuretaking up my entire video feed just for your stupid pow-wow is the dumbest thing ever22:03
kanzurei can be in 500 irc channels simultaneously but only one stupid video feed22:03
nmz787I like the idea of video because it seems social, and a lot of ppl can't type too well22:03
kanzureit's completely limiting and unprofessional22:04
fenntwo, why is streaming video such a mess of incompatible (non-)standards22:04
nmz787but then audio would cover that22:04
nmz787even just slide synchronization and audio would be nice22:04
kanzurewith audio i can only listen to like 5 people talk simultaneously22:04
nmz787screen share or something, but I don't think google does screen share22:04
kanzuretext communication works perfectly well and has worked on the interwebs for like 40 years now22:04
nmz787yeah but ppl like more immersive experiences22:04
kanzureno they don't22:04
kanzurethey are lying22:05
fennthree, why do you need a website to do video22:05
nmz787wtf why do ppl have big-screen tvs then?22:05
nmz787it's a booming market!22:05
kanzurevideo is not immersive22:05
kanzureyou are looking at someone's face, who the fuck cares what they look like?22:05
delinquentmeasian chick on OKC. sez " if the last girl was asian don't message me "22:05

delinquentmeshe didn't understand.22:05
delinquentmedid I just out azn the azn ?22:05
nmz787maybe she doesn't know wtf shinji is22:06
nmz787because she is not that kind of azn22:06
fennonly if you ate roe with it22:06
nmz787roe vs wade22:06
kanzurealso you can generally only have one person speaking at a time in a video conference22:07
fennimage of delinquentme and shinji romantically splashing in the waves22:07
kanzurea video conference is like everything that is wrong about audio conferencing, BUT WITH VIDEO22:07
kanzurei can't believe people fall for this22:07
fennkanzure: but there's a website too! yay!22:08
delinquentmehahahah22:08
delinquentmekanzoo you're visionary :D22:08
nmz787lync can do video + multiple audio at once22:08

nmz787I have anyways been looking at buying a goat22:14

nmz787(to eat it's baby)22:15

nmz787ParahSailin: did you just milk it, or generate Ab?22:15
ParahSailinnever did anything useful with them22:15
nmz787hopefully they ate your grass/lawn at least22:16
fennwhy are goats trendy now? goats are terrible little animals22:16
ParahSailini dunno, i got them like 2 years before they were apparently trendy22:16
fennget a pony22:16
nmz787ponies are larger and less efficient digestively22:17
nmz787and also they won't eat brush22:17
fennso what22:17
fenna bale of hay is $522:17
* nmz787 bale a day keeps the starvation away22:17
fennalso, barley sprouts22:17
ParahSailinin ca a round bale of hay was like $250 this year22:18
nmz787WOW22:18
nmz787I just got to push one of those down a big hill last week22:18
fennbecause of the drought?22:18
nmz787it tumbled sideways instead of unrolling cleanly, it was fun to watch22:18
nmz787damn it was heavy though22:18
ParahSailini would have kept the goats if i had a choice22:18
nmz787moving it was pretty much the limit of my strength, I haven't been active much lately :/22:19
nmz787but it was packed in the trailer sideways as well22:19
nmz787so I had to push it out not roll it22:19
fennif you had a draft pony you could hitch it up to do the work for you22:20
nmz787you'd also have to train it22:21
ParahSailinwhy you want goat antibody production22:21
ParahSailinrabbits are like half the size22:21
nmz787oO22:21
nmz787that would work too I guess22:21
nmz787I am not sure which my 'organic' farmer would be less opposed to participating in22:21
nmz787:)22:21
nmz787low-input/non-conventional/traditional22:22
nmz787but what would be the hello world that would be valuable?22:22
nmz787I can't remember what I did with hybridomas22:22
ParahSailinparticipating?22:23
nmz787it might have just been anti-GFP22:23
nmz787well he would keep watch on them, raise them, tend to them22:23
nmz787(or at least that was my idea)22:23
ParahSailinyou need someone else to do that part?22:23
nmz787sure why not?22:24
nmz787that way I can still be programming and doing the higher-level work22:24
nmz787protocols etc22:24
nmz787also I don't have land ;)22:25
nmz787that is the most important part22:25
fenndont need much land to keep a rabbit22:25
ParahSailini didnt do hardly shit to take care of the goats22:25
nmz787http://news.yahoo.com/biomedical-goats-arent-typical-livestock-might-save-life-210546503.html22:26
nmz787yeah but I literally cannot have goats where I live now22:26
nmz787rabbits probably though22:26
ParahSailinthe perennial story: goats making spider silk in milk22:27
nmz787GMO milk goats would be a stretch goal I guess22:27
nmz787"Goats already produce a number of antibodies in their milk—that’s how a kid first develops its immune system. So scientists just add in one more.22:28
ParahSailinyou're gonna have to sacrifice it to extract spleen, so best pick an animal you wouldnt mind killing22:28
nmz787"22:28
nmz787I read that they often do peritoneal (I think) implants, then regular tumor/cyst/bulge extractions from there22:28
fennnmz787: if you're reading any article talking about "scientists" you're so far from knowing what's necessary you might as well not even have started22:28
nmz787http://www.nature.com/news/discovery-of-goat-facility-adds-to-antibody-provider-s-woes-1.1220322:29
ParahSailinanti-venom is usually done as a polyclonal extract22:29
ParahSailinso i guess you dont have to kill for that22:29
nmz787http://www.newyorker.com/tech/elements/valuable-antibodies-at-a-high-cost22:29
nmz787"Santa Cruz Biotech is owned by John and Brenda Stephenson, who have spent the past fifteen years acquiring forty-four thousand hilly acres along California’s central coast, in hopes of restoring the historic San Juan Ranch to its former peak of nearly sixty thousand acres."22:30
nmz787wow!22:30
nmz787shit, that is another league of acreage22:30
nmz787841 goats in total22:31
nmz787well, 1/841*(their income per year) = ?22:31
nmz787supposed revenue is 10-25 mil22:32
nmz787"Equine Manager" on their careers page22:33
nmz787I guess they also have a pony22:33
fennthat was just one barn22:33
nmz787"Equine Manager"22:33
nmz787I mean "CRISPR Research Assistant"22:33
nmz787interesting22:33
nmz787"Purifies recombinant antibodies from rabbit sera by affinity column according to method provided by supervisor"22:34
ParahSailinthats odd that they would have recombinant antibody from serum22:35
ParahSailinlike, they found a monoclonal producing line, rabbitized it, and then transgened a rabbit with it so they could express it in vivo?22:38
nmz787ah22:41
nmz787sounds plausible22:41
