bbrittainwhen did linux distros start renaming wheel to sudo? :(19:44
kanzurepython wheel?19:46
bbrittainthe sudoers group used to be called wheel19:47
bbrittainit was confusing as fuck to new people, but it was actually an homage to Robert Jordan19:47
kanzurewhy are we calling this new thing a cheese wheel then19:49
fennbbrittain: since ubuntu19:49
bbrittainfenn: damn ubuntu19:50
bbrittainI think I'm gonna change my group back. hmpfh19:50
bbrittainI feel like an old grumpy linux user19:50
bbrittainnext you know, I'll be complaining about systemd19:50
bbrittain(which I do, frequently)19:51
fenn"cat -v considered harmful"19:58
kanzurefrankly i find his complaints helpful19:58
kanzurebut really: what was the reason that skdb stuff was not electronics-specific?19:59

fennbecause electronics is too easy20:00
kanzureis that a good reason?20:01
fennbecause there are already tools that do BOM stuff for electronics20:01
fennso people would be like "why are you making yet another EDA tool"20:01
kanzurefrom the perspective of a goal like "don't make me read millions of pages of documentation", microelectronic vlsi is pretty high on the list (and bom tools are a part of using this but not the whole story)20:02
fennit is at least a set of standards that exist that one could point to and say "hey why does your industry suck so much, be like these guys"20:02
kanzures/read/read or write20:02
kanzuresorry, but i lost track about who you are pointing to what for which reason20:03
fennelectronics industries follow good practices much of the time, is all i'm saying20:04
kanzuretrue, but still not nearly apt-get-land20:05
fennlately they've been skimpy with documentation and NDA bullshit though20:05
kanzure(well, more nearly, i suppose)20:05
fennalso because electronics don't really help you build more electronics in easily specified ways, with the exception of circuit board prototyping20:08
fenn(computers help with CAD but that process is hard to describe)20:08
fenni've been watching steve play minecraft FTB and a lot of the things in it remind me of what i was going for with SKDB and automation20:10
fennlike there is a box that stores items and you can search through it for the item you want by typing a regex, and it will pipe the item to another box that assembles it based on a schematic20:11
kanzureyes it's true that there's a lot of things missing if you choose only electronics... but you still get a lot out of it.20:11
fennthen why hasn't anyone else done it20:11
kanzurea reasonable question, i don't have any answers at the moment20:12
fennprobably because it's easier to just order from digikey than to write a program that orders from digikey20:13
kanzurebecause the alternative ("run your own cmos fab") is "lots of hard ridiculous work that i thought cost a billion bucks anyway"20:13
fennoh20:14
-!- cntrational [~sid@49.205.77.125] has joined ##hplusroadmap20:14
fennyeah that's not feasible20:14
kanzureyou don't need a billion dollar fab20:14
kanzurebut you also can't get anything done if you are paying $10k per wafer20:14
fennso you're forced to use commodity components, big deal20:15
fennFPGA or CPLD works fine for most applications, bitcoin is just ridiculous about efficiency20:15
kanzureoh, then i could come u pwith reasons like "nobody wants to build and support a product with lots of commodity parts" and things like form factor, whereas if you are specifically building stuff on a budget that isn't mass produced, you're more okay with such things20:16
fenn"nobody wants to build and support a product with lots of custom parts"20:16
fennthere i fixed it20:16
kanzurethere are far more things to do with (micro)electronics than just fpgas (lots of real world interface stuff)20:16
fennyou dont need a billion dollar fab to make custom sensor devices20:17
kanzureright, but i was trying to explain why nobody made an skdb-for-electronics-specifically thing20:17
kanzureand "i thought it cost a billion bucks" is a good explanation20:17
cntrationalhttps://www.edx.org/course/artificial-intelligence-uc-berkeleyx-cs188-1x-0 hmm, should i sign up for this20:18
kanzureand i guess sensor stuff is more like "nobody needs that much equipment"? i dunno why nobody has bothered really20:18
fennthere aren't that many different semiconductor lab devices20:19
kanzureheh i bet some whippersnapper could put all of the conventional molecular biology lab electronics into a single device, and just stuff it into different machines20:20
fennbulk deposition, doping, ovens, etching, masking, wire bonding and packaging...20:20
fennyeah it's called an arduino and some mosfets20:20
kanzureyeah but i mean someone actually doing it :p20:20
fenntouche20:20
kanzureas far as i know everyone selling lab equipment is doing custom electronics for everything20:21
fennthey are stupid and bad20:21
cntrationalpfff, didn't notice the prereqs20:22
kanzurei can already tell by the url that it will be a waste of everyone's time20:22
fenncntrational: just read the norvig+russell book20:22
cntrationalfenn: hmm, okay20:22
kanzurei don't really buy "they are stupid and bad" as an explanation for the other question ("why has nobody bothered")20:22
kanzurei mean life is easy if you are happy with "they are stupid", but you're also often wrong20:23
fenni didn't say that20:23
kanzurei know i know20:23
fenni don't know why nobody has made a package manager for electronics20:23
kanzurebut i was going to say that earlier20:23
kanzureand i didn't20:23
kanzureeven in the surface mount domain20:23
kanzuresurface mount machine manufacturers probably don't get software that well, so maybe they don't bother- but a packager would really sell their machine methinks20:24
fennyou mean pick and place machines?20:24
kanzure(not that there aren't other reasons to bother)20:24
kanzureoh sorry, yes20:24
fennhm. maybe ask ladyada and philip torrone how their adventures with pick and place are going20:24
fenn"Advanced hacking!20:25
fennDIY tray - Make your own tray holder!"20:25
kanzurenot encouraging20:26
fennso l33t20:26
fennmaybe anything physical at all counts as "advanced" for electronics people20:26
kanzurecertainly for software people20:26
fennpossibly an industrial pick and place machine is too expensive to let sit idle (in opportunity cost) and so you have to employ people to keep it running 24/720:27
kanzurenah there's lots of cheapo shenzhen desktop pick and place machines these days20:28
fennit would be better if you just farmed the demand out to the internet with a sensible package manager though20:28
kanzuresnoop in #szdiy sometime20:28

fenn$8k is a fair amount of capital to be gathering dust under your workbench20:29
fenncould be worse tho20:29
kanzurea few runs of "stuff" could cover that, right?20:29
fennhttp://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/desktop-pick-and-place-machine-led_60012381969/showimage.html20:29
kanzurehow price competitive is the part-filled pcb market these days20:29
fennvery20:30
kanzurehmm.20:30
fennlatency is expensive though20:30
fennlow latency i mean20:30
kanzuredoes not bode well for "pay for it with one or two runs of some bullshit from american bullshitters"20:30
fennthe problem is you won't get a full run from american bullshitters because anyone making 1000 boards will do research on prices first20:31
fennit really makes sense to have a standard set of components that are loaded in the machine at all times, and anything else costs extra20:31
kanzurewait why did i start talking about price20:32
fenni did20:32
kanzurebtw there was a pick and place standardization thing that upverter and octopart were involved in, and some other startup that had a long 20-foot pick and place production line thingy20:32
kanzuretrying to find link20:32
fenni have seen quotes in the $500k-1M range for advanced pick and place machines, i thought the entire industry was like that20:33
gwillen20:18:18 < cntrational> https://www.edx.org/course/artificial-intelligence-uc-berkeleyx-cs188-1x-0 hmm, should i sign up for this20:33
kanzureno20:33
gwillencntrational: it's not exactly hardcore, but I enjoyed it20:33
gwillencntrational: as I recall it's mostly about game-playing agents, game-tree search, A*, that kind of thing20:34
gwillenso not quite what I expected from the title20:34
gwillenalthough 'classifying handwritten digits and photographs' sounds quite different from what I remember, so maybe they've added stuff to the course20:35
kanzurefenn: i'm sure there's lots of high end stuff, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8qkaTsr2_o&t=70s20:35
kanzure"feed/reel exchange during production" haha20:37
cntrationalgwillen: hmm, okay20:38

fennthat is a job for a deltabot20:39
