xentracthis silicon oxycarbide stereolithography thing sounds kind of important actually: http://phys.org/news/2016-01-breakthrough-ceramics-3d-technology.html10:18
xentracthey are able to sinter the polymerized resin, which I guess is probably silicon carbide filled, to get fully dense ceramics.  I'd like to read the paper10:19
xentracno, no sintering; they're using a "preceramic polymer"10:23
xentrac(mercaptopropyl) methylsiloxane mixed with vinylmethosiloxane plus some additives for the stereolithography10:25

FourFirekanzure, did you respond to my question about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rimonabant ?14:39
kanzurenope14:39
kanzure.wik rimonabant14:39
yoleaux"Rimonabant (also known as SR141716; trade name Acomplia) is an anorectic antiobesity drug that has been withdrawn from the market due to potentially serious side effects. It was approved for use in Europe and other countries, but never approved in the United States. Rimonabant is an inverse agonist for the cannabinoid receptor CB1." — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rimonabant14:39

FourFireI reckon, that I'm willing to risk "severe depression" and "intrusive thoughts" for short periods if the benefits are good enough14:40
FourFirein my experience my short term memory is... suboptimal, noticably causing social faux pas' and sometimes I've called someone or emailed them and not recalled it...14:41
kanzurei'm not convinced that you have pursued all social options. as i reclal you were still building up a good set of colleagues to work with.14:49
xentracFourFire: have you ever experienced severe depression or intrusive thoughts?14:52
-!- CheckDavid [uid14990@gateway/web/irccloud.com/x-uvobyzpwzrazcgnh] has joined ##hplusroadmap14:58
FourFirexentrac, well I don't know about "severe". but I've overcome a depression which lasted over six months in the past, and with that followed suicidal thoughts (and quite a few occasions where I seriously contemplated suicide)14:58
FourFirekanzure, sure, just wondered whether you've come across it before.14:58
xentracthat sounds like mild clinical depression, rather than severe depression14:59
FourFireoh and I experience intrusive thoughts several every times week or so14:59
FourFirewhy just today, I was wondering how quickly I could ruin the metro driver's day by frying myself on the tracks ...15:00
FourFirereally annoying that, but it's just something I have to deal with.15:00
xentrachave you ever been having an interesting conversation when suddenly you stopped talking because you were suddenly reminded of something you'd done wrong a year earlier?15:01
kanzurexentrac: my diagnosis is that FourFire needs better friends, a different social environment from what he was previously inserting himself into, and to pick better goals probably under the supervision of more experienced individuals15:03
FourFirexentrac, yeah :(15:03
FourFirebut most of my conversation aren't very interesting, so it's more interesting at that point to explain to my s/victim/conversational partner/ exactly why them mentioning shoes made me grimace and pause15:04
kanzurewas the thing you were going to say something like "i put my shoes on the wrong feet last year"?15:05
xentracFourFire: all in all it sounds pretty unpleasant. maybe kanzure is right that better friends will help15:05
FourFireI think my goals are okay... I just need to make use of some sort of organizational structure which connects them to the present, and actions I can make on a day to day basis15:05
xentracyeah, organizing our lives in alignment with our goals is hard15:06
FourFireI seem to be rather bad at setting short and medium term goals and actually reaching them...15:06
FourFireI should be sleeping now, talk later15:06
kanzureiirc the last goal you set was "solve protein folding"15:07
kanzurewhich is an interesting goal, but not necessarily the correct goal for you at the moment15:07
FourFireuh, now listen here, my goal isn't anywhere near that15:07
kanzure:-)15:07
FourFireit's "make a tool which can automate design of arbitrary proteins based on a fitness function" thus turning the design problem into "a whopping great big pile of computation" problem, which will be solve by a whole load of people much smarter and more competent than me, especially since it has a global economy pushing it forwards15:09
FourFiresecondary goal is "use said tool to solve one problem in biology"15:10
FourFirethat just happens to be the information loss in DNA problem, but low hanging fruit first, right?15:10

xentracyeah, protein folding in general is a much harder problem than that15:28
xentracbecause you have to predict the folding of proteins that you didn't design15:28
xentracif you're designing them you can restrict it to proteins that are easy to predict15:28

xentracnmz787_i: yeah, it only covers diffusion pumps.  there's a good diagram on p.5 about what kinds of pumps can reach what kinds of pressures, and what kinds of pressures are needed for what kind of applications20:21

xentracin particular for SEM/TEM microscopy it says you need 10⁻⁷ torr (about 10 microspascals) and that all kinds of high-vacuum pumps can reach that20:23
xentracalthough I guess you knew that because your SEM uses a diffusion pump ;)20:24
xentracour discussion suggested that you could probably do mass spectrometry at an even lower vacuum if it's sufficiently small (which I guess also means a sufficiently high magnetic field?)20:25
xentracWP says, "Although its use has been mainly associated within the high-vacuum range (down to 10−9 mbar), diffusion pumps today can produce pressures approaching 10−10 mbar when properly used with modern fluids and accessories."  10⁻¹⁰ mbar is 10 nanopascals20:27

xentracdiffusion pumps do backstream, and that's a big problem for some applications20:28

nmz787_ixentrac: my SEM is ~30 years old though... any decent unit today will come standard with a turbo pump and likely an ion getter pump too. The higher end models needing more resolution or less noise will forego the turbo for an oil diffusion pump with a cold trap for backdraft oil... but they all have the ion getter pumps (IGPs)21:33
-!- erasmus [~erasmus@unaffiliated/erasmus] has joined ##hplusroadmap21:33
nmz787_iat least that's what I think...21:34
xentracI don't know anything about IGPs21:34
doclI don't see anything about getters in the chart, for some reason. Ion is mentioned.21:34
xentracit's talking about ion diffusion pumps, docl21:34
doclisn't ion separate from diffusion?21:35
xentracgetters (particularly in the form of cryopumps) predate all the more mechanical pumping methods of achieving high vacuum, which is how it was possible to build an Audion in 1903 or whenever it was21:35

xentracnormally a "diffusion pump" is an oil diffusion pump21:35
xentracoriginally it was a mercury diffusion pump, which worked the same way but used mercury; modern oils are better on a lot of axes21:36
nmz787_iIGPs are usually high voltage and cause molecules to oxidise and deposit on parallel plates21:36
nmz787_iwell maybe they could also reduce and not just oxidise... idk21:36
xentracI see21:36
xentracwell, they probably ionize ;)21:36
xentracand once the negative ions land on the plates, they are reduced, and when the positive ions land, they are oxidized21:37
doclxentrac: sprengel pump was a diffusion pump, right?21:37
xentracno21:37
xentracthe sprengel pump used liquid mercury, not mercury vapor21:37
xentracit's basically a liquid piston pump21:37
doclah, it has to be vapor to count as diffusion?21:37
xentracI'm not sure how to answer that21:38
xentracbut oil and mercury diffusion pumps do use vapor21:38
xentracthe idea is that the gas molecules can't diffuse fast enough through the vapor to move upstream, and then you condense the vapor at the outlet of the diffusion pump, leaving just the gas21:39
nmz787_ihmm, I can't tell if some lower/entry level SEMs don't have ion pumps21:39
xentracI think my "ion diffusion pump" doesn't exist21:40
xentracand I was just confused21:40
doclnmz787_i: another topic we touched on while you were gone is drawing fibers as a way to achieve nanotech.21:46

xentracoh yeah, drawing preforms into glass fibers preserves their cross section limited mostly by surface tension, and you can get rid of that by making the preform out of two kinds of glass, one of which you chemically etch away after drawing21:50

xentracthe difficulty of shaping existing fibers by selectively etching them is that you have to be able to position your etchant with nanometer precision if you are to get nanometer-scale features21:59

xentracI'm skeptical about this idea of "G-code export"22:17
xentracthat sounds like a Verilog synthesis tool with an "FPGA bitstream export"22:18
nmz787it must work with edges of the surfaces22:20
xentracwell, what I mean is that G-code nails down a lot more decisions than the ones in the solid model22:21
xentracand, unlike what is typically the case with assembly code generation from a C compiler, you very often want to change those decisions because they sucked22:22
xentracthey depend at a minimum on what kind of material you're building things out of and the capabilities of your machinery22:23
