| 01:18.01 | brlcad | I know what causes those specs now |
| 01:18.58 | brlcad | it's related to floating point tolerance on the negative arb being used to get the inside of that torus (which is pretty damn creative if I do say so myself) |
| 01:19.54 | brlcad | related to how segments are weaved and how it ends up with an infinitely thin "cut" segment along the inside of that cylinder that tweaks the normal ever so slightly |
| 01:20.24 | brlcad | talking with another one of the devs sometime soon to see if/what we can do about it .. very core/hard problem that goes back to a really old issue |

| 01:55.53 | brlcad | yeah, it's in a bizzare backwards way |
| 01:57.02 | brlcad | it doesn't matter that the cut/intersect object is in negative space .. it doesn't know the boolean until it's time to weave segments |
| 01:58.39 | yukonbob | reminds _me_ of dealing with financial numbers, where nothing of significance is done w/ floating point, but instead use decimal floats instead of binary -- does any of that sound interesting for this case? |
| 01:59.29 | brlcad | it's interesting, just not highly practical :) |
| 01:59.59 | brlcad | doing fixed point math of any sort kills performance, as that is at the core of the ray-intersection engine |

| 02:59.25 | iday | maybe do some language experimentation once i get finished with the classes |

| 03:01.20 | ``Erik | if it were formalized at the low turing level, mebbe it'd find a much more mature invocation in 'pragmatic' languages |

| 03:20.06 | ``Erik | heh |
| 03:20.14 | ``Erik | someone said something along the lines of, um |
| 03:20.25 | ``Erik | "java drug the developers halfway to lisp" |
| 03:20.32 | starseeker | Yes, Guy Steele |

| 03:20.42 | iday | hehe |
| 03:20.53 | starseeker | iday: Oh, you know about Qi? :-) |
| 03:20.55 | ``Erik | oh, guy steele, yes |
| 03:20.58 | ``Erik | the scheme guy! |
| 03:20.59 | ``Erik | hah |
| 03:21.06 | iday | haven't played with it... but yeah |
| 03:21.07 | starseeker | iday: I'm actually very interested in Qi |

| 03:22.04 | iday | interested |
| 03:22.25 | iday | although I |
| 03:22.39 | iday | i'm unimpressed with Tk choice |
| 03:22.46 | iday | that' |
| 03:22.46 | starseeker | iday: Any strong mathematics system like Axiom needs a strongly typed language, and SPAD (Axiom's current language) isn't even well defined |
| 03:22.52 | iday | kinda turned me off |
| 03:23.02 | starseeker | yeah, I don't care about the tk part (sorry tk fans) |
| 03:23.07 | iday | strongly typed you say... |
| 03:23.08 | ``Erik | tcl has never thrilled me |
| 03:23.27 | ``Erik | I dorked with it a little, thought it was lame, then got into thcheme, and viewed tcl has a halfassed wannabe :/ |
| 03:23.28 | iday | yeah - i need to play with qi - just to see |
| 03:23.44 | starseeker | iday: Aldor (www.aldor.org) was the replacement language for SPAD, and some would probably consider it the best mathematical programming language for a CAS available today, but they gummed up the license |
| 03:24.11 | starseeker | So we can learn from Aldor, but can't use it :-( |
| 03:24.59 | ``Erik | the last couple days, I've been looking more at asm and javame :( I'm turning lame *cry* |
| 03:25.02 | starseeker | Qi seems to have done many things the "right way" - implemented the new language inside lisp rather than having an external compiler, is willing to listen to and talk intelligently with critics |
| 03:25.04 | brlcad | iday: I think my arms are back to what they were, or really close |
| 03:25.05 | iday | interesting... haven't played with too many algebra systems myself. |
| 03:25.24 | starseeker | iday: It's my hobby obsession :-) |
| 03:25.25 | iday | brlcad: bastard. well - come over and play with your godson then |
| 03:25.32 | brlcad | (at least in size, not strength quite yet) |
| 03:25.40 | iday | brlcad: you can lift him up and down :-) |
| 03:25.48 | ``Erik | heh |
| 03:25.51 | brlcad | but I am le sore |
| 03:25.56 | *** join/#brlcad Twingy (n=justin@74.92.144.217) | |
| 03:26.12 | iday | and I am le tired |
| 03:26.17 | starseeker | iday: Started with Maxima, but once I learned enough to appreciate how really messed up (and theoretically weak) it was/is, Axiom seemed like the obvious choice |
| 03:26.44 | starseeker | iday: Not that Axiom isn't messed up too, but at least it's theoretically closer to what a "proper" CAS should be... |
| 03:26.46 | iday | starseeker: have played with maxima... but the interface was too clunky for me to get too into it |
| 03:26.46 | ``Erik | 'maxim'? the magazine? O.o |
| 03:26.48 | ``Erik | :D |
| 03:26.55 | ``Erik | oi, twiggly |
| 03:26.58 | Twingy | I haven't had hot pockets in ages |
| 03:27.21 | Twingy | when you said maxim I was reminded of the maxim231 rs232 ttl cmos converter |
| 03:27.22 | ``Erik | *smirk* and the fire alarm hasn't gone off in ages, go figure :D |
| 03:27.26 | starseeker | iday: Yeah, that's a general problem with open source CAS |
| 03:27.33 | ``Erik | heh |
| 03:27.37 | starseeker | iday: Did you try the TeXmacs interface? |
| 03:28.00 | starseeker | or wxmaxima? Those are probably the closest to tolerable |
| 03:28.07 | Twingy | cept I'm using TI7404's now because I can get away with 5V instead of 7 |
| 03:28.27 | iday | starseeker: no - i saw something like that was available... but at the time i was trying to use it for a class, and no time to futz with it |
| 03:28.33 | starseeker | Ah. |
| 03:28.45 | iday | starseeker: i tried wxmaxima the other day - argh |
| 03:28.54 | starseeker | Not what you need eh? |
| 03:29.10 | Twingy | btw Erik I finally got my DB-III |
| 03:29.18 | iday | starseeker: i |
| 03:29.32 | starseeker | iday: Doing something like Mathematica's interactive 2D input typesetting interface is probably the way to go in the long term, but it's a very difficult problem. |
| 03:29.38 | iday | starseeker: am just picky about interfaces (and I keep tapping the frikkin return key) |
| 03:29.45 | iday | yes |
| 03:29.59 | starseeker | iday: That's why I am interested in McCLIM and the Stix fonts, for example |
| 03:30.03 | starseeker | they are critical pieces |
| 03:30.04 | iday | however - lyx doesn't do too bad |
| 03:30.12 | starseeker | for one liners it's ok |
| 03:30.25 | ``Erik | w00t, how's gaytech going? |
| 03:30.31 | iday | haha |
| 03:30.48 | iday | twingy looked a bit stressed today... maybe that was the soot |
| 03:31.10 | Twingy | ``Erik, very difficult |
| 03:31.14 | ``Erik | one of the things that really endeared latex to me was that the layout was very divorced from the creative cycle |
| 03:31.19 | starseeker | There's an McCLIM app called GSharp that has done amazing work with interactive music typesetting using McCLIM, and I think many of those pieces will be helpful someday in a proper math GUI. But there are so many things to fix before the GUI... :-( |
| 03:31.30 | iday | ``Erik: of course |
| 03:31.32 | ``Erik | not even worth worrying about layout, just do the fucking content... |
| 03:31.54 | iday | only until you need to embed a graphic. and then things get a bit painful |
| 03:31.57 | starseeker | iday: Actually, if you don't need interactive typesetting I recommend Emaxima |
| 03:31.58 | ``Erik | opposed to 'word', where it's easy to distract yourself be tweaking visual elements instead of being productive... |
| 03:32.02 | ``Erik | eps ftw |
| 03:32.12 | iday | starseeker: have to take a look at it |
| 03:32.26 | ``Erik | encapsulated postscript |
| 03:32.37 | iday | or pgf - program your figures |
| 03:32.50 | starseeker | Brain child of Jay Belanger |
| 03:32.51 | ``Erik | imagemagick's "convert" can make 'em, and they just 'work' if you output to ps (then use ps2pdf or something) |
| 03:32.57 | iday | pdflatex uses pdf figures as well |
| 03:33.08 | starseeker | Emaxima rocks - I helped with some of the early debugging on it |
| 03:33.44 | ``Erik | aaaanyways, it seems to me that toys like LyX kinda defeat one of the biggest advantages :D |
| 03:33.55 | ``Erik | that was the reason for my tangent |
| 03:34.10 | iday | you don't have to do any "layout" in lyx... |
| 03:34.16 | starseeker | ``Erik: Lyx is actually an interesting compromise between hiding syntax details of markup and lack of interactive WYSIWYG behavor |
| 03:34.34 | starseeker | most of the problem with users of Lyx is they expect WYSIWYG |
| 03:34.42 | iday | saves some \begin{} and \end{} typing (but not all of it) |
| 03:34.56 | iday | WYSIWYM! |
| 03:35.07 | ``Erik | erm, you don't have vim macros for automatic teTeX output? |
| 03:35.14 | ``Erik | or, uh, emacs macros? |
| 03:35.37 | iday | i like the pretty equation visualization ;-) |
| 03:35.57 | starseeker | ``Erik: Well, we have AucTeX but for a lot of students who don't go that deep into the typesetting side of things Lyx is a good compromise |
| 03:36.10 | ``Erik | I'm often tempted to write a scheme<->tex(math mode) translator |
| 03:36.15 | ``Erik | I mean, they're almsot identical |
| 03:36.25 | iday | ``Erik: you |
| 03:36.31 | iday | 're hilarious sometimes, |
| 03:36.34 | starseeker | Lyx and TeXmacs have the best equation input setups I've ever used - Lyx has the best dialog I've ever used, and TeXmacs keybindings are extremely smooth once you know them |
| 03:36.35 | ``Erik | :d |
| 03:36.36 | ``Erik | :D |
| 03:36.49 | ``Erik | I also want to write a sexp<->xml translator |
| 03:36.59 | starseeker | ``Erik: cl-typesetting would like you :-) |
| 03:37.15 | Twingy | ``Erik, did you see crayon physics? |
| 03:37.26 | ``Erik | xml is just an obscenely ugly and verbose form of a subset of sexp |
| 03:37.32 | ``Erik | no? crayon physics? O.o |
| 03:37.43 | ``Erik | same nature as, um, britney speares doing semiconductor physics? |
| 03:37.48 | iday | Twingy: i sent it to brlcad earlier |
| 03:37.52 | iday | he may not have shared |
| 03:38.21 | brlcad | hm, who what? |
| 03:38.25 | starseeker | iday: Ahem - anyway, back to cad :-) |
| 03:38.28 | ``Erik | I think first I'll build yet another 74 based ripple adder |
| 03:38.29 | brlcad | i'm innocent |
| 03:38.33 | brlcad | she said she was 19 |
| 03:38.35 | ``Erik | THEN try to tie the simm to the pic |
| 03:38.43 | iday | brlcad: jeez |
| 03:38.57 | brlcad | okay 18 |
| 03:39.00 | iday | alright - since neural nets are off topic here, back to work |
| 03:39.02 | ``Erik | you're 30 now, quit hitting on the freshmen at the frat parties, step up to the sophmores |
| 03:39.05 | ``Erik | *cough* O:-) |
| 03:39.22 | starseeker | brlcad: There's a topic - can neural nets be applied to CAD? ;-) |
| 03:39.42 | brlcad | thought 'bout it some |
| 03:40.00 | ``Erik | starseeker: look at src/gtools/beset... genetic algo's applied to cad... |
| 03:40.19 | starseeker | iday: So, you're on topic after all ;-) |
| 03:40.33 | brlcad | mebbie but the dimensionality of most of the problems is a bitch for a nn, but you could use a nn as part of some bigger solution |
| 03:40.48 | ``Erik | evolving a good nn via a ga... etc |
| 03:41.01 | iday | well, i'll be using a EA to grow NN for my project this semester |
| 03:41.09 | iday | hopefully to implement target tracking |
| 03:41.25 | CIA-27 | libirc: 03JeffM2501 * r330 10/trunk/libirc/src/IRCClient.cpp: when we are quiting, don't complain about not having network command handlers when the network itself is not valid. |
| 03:41.29 | brlcad | bpoole's beset GA showed quite a bit of feasibility of the approach for some problems |
| 03:41.32 | ``Erik | see, more of that 'better bullet' shit, I can't get behind that :( |
| 03:41.54 | brlcad | ``Erik: but you can get in front of them? :) |
| 03:41.55 | iday | um - not for bullets, for information |
| 03:42.02 | iday | surveillance |
| 03:42.10 | iday | jeez |
| 03:42.32 | ``Erik | I have no problem keeping kids from getting dead, but I get squeemish at the notion of getting kids dead... |
| 03:42.41 | brlcad | ~bzfrag ``Erik |
| 03:42.42 | ibot | ACTION skewers ``Erik with a super bullet |
| 03:42.44 | iday | i really wouln't work on the better bullet approach either (although, many good things can be used in nefarious ways) |
| 03:43.16 | starseeker | It's all tools in the end - in a battlefield situation, the idea is to keep at it until someone can't continue |
| 03:43.23 | rdv | brlcad: i'm interested in what adding IBMR to the software would entail. i realize it's difficult to estimate off the top of one's head |
| 03:43.23 | ``Erik | yeah, my threshhold for observing nefarious misuse has shifted in the last, ohhhh, 6, almost 7 years |
| 03:43.45 | brlcad | rdv: that's way too open-ended :) |
| 03:44.36 | starseeker | ``Erik: there's this, too - if you don't know what you might find being shot at someone someday, it's harder to design around it |
| 03:44.43 | brlcad | what do you mean by it? something with a gui that lets you pick points in multiple views? something programmatic? automatic/manual shape/edge/feature detection? console/command driven? |
| 03:45.17 | rdv | well for a first phase, maybe rectangular textures by picking 4 points on each of 2 pictures |
| 03:45.42 | CIA-27 | libirc: 03JeffM2501 * r331 10/trunk/libirc/examples/stupidBot/src/stupidBot.cpp: throttle the inital channel joins, do them one at a time, and only after we have the MOTD, and a valid nick |
| 03:46.00 | ``Erik | my observation is that if you give warmongering imbeciles a technology to defend against tomorrows bullets, they'll figure out how to field those imagined bullets. |
| 03:47.25 | ``Erik | albert einsteins quote, um, about not knowing what weapons ww3 will be fought with, but ww4 being fought with sticks and stones... :) strikes a chord with me |
| 03:48.08 | starseeker | ``Erik: Given the weapons we already have, it's just a matter of degree at this point. |
| 03:48.35 | ``Erik | the weapons are just a tool, unfortunately... it's the lack of civilization |
| 03:48.47 | starseeker | Correct |
| 03:48.58 | brlcad | rdv: if someone was already familiar with the libs and interfaces and could dedicate time to it, I could see having something minimal like that in a few weeks .. that quickly expands to a few months though as you get to actual general use for making more than boxes and outlined shapes |
| 03:49.15 | ``Erik | american aggresion inthe middle east has scared russia, who's arming up... so china gets scared and is arming up...it's a vicious feedback cycle |
| 03:49.43 | starseeker | Lack of tools won't stop anybody - most of history's wars managed to kill lots of people with what were in essence extreme refinements of the club... |
| 03:49.59 | brlcad | rdv: brl-cad already has a facilities for creating/manipulating/storeing/processing geometry, so most of the work would be focused on the actual gui and IBMR calcs |
| 03:50.11 | ``Erik | and given the near obliteration experiences in teh last half century, ... I doubt modern politicians have the ability to behave in rational ways like their predecessors |
| 03:50.34 | starseeker | Which underscores the need for everyone to vote in elections |
| 03:50.49 | ``Erik | then throw in 'hot' areas of extremists getting "wmd's"... israel stealing nuke base and adopting a policy of "share the pain"... wtf |
| 03:51.15 | ``Erik | if we don't become a space faring race awfully soon, we'll probably stop being a race. |

| 03:51.46 | ``Erik | heh |
| 03:52.13 | ``Erik | yeah, I'm scared of the world situation. the rapid degredation is horrifying. :) |
| 03:52.30 | starseeker | There are so many good things that could come of that |

| 03:55.02 | ``Erik | yeah... but, y'know, if it takes me, it takes me... otherwise, I'll try to maximize the long term benefit of my activities as much as possible |
| 03:55.32 | ``Erik | yeah, starseeker... bmw m3... hit two trees, flipped, went upside down across a road, hit a hill and two other trees, ended up on the side |

| 04:58.48 | ``Erik | cuz, uh, ya MIGHT be a LITTLe behind for the book |
| 04:59.51 | ``Erik | when I lived in memphis, I was maybe 5-6 minutes walk from the library, and had started getting old enough to have an appreciation for history |
| 05:00.11 | ``Erik | so the first book I checked out was the oldest (source) book they had... beowulf... |
| 05:00.23 | ``Erik | and next was 'the prince' |
| 05:00.26 | ``Erik | then I moved :/ |
| 05:01.35 | ``Erik | project gutenburg seems promising, but at the computer, I keep dorking around instead of reading :( |
| 06:03.02 | brlcad | yeah, the movie |
| 06:03.42 | brlcad | i read the book too, hail hrothgar! |
| 06:03.54 | brlcad | but the movie has angelina hawtness |
| 06:04.24 | brlcad | the screenplay is probably no better than tomb raider, but still fun |

| 20:01.10 | ManicMechE | quick question |
| 20:01.49 | ManicMechE | I just installed BRL-CAD 7.10.on my Mac |
| 20:02.00 | ManicMechE | 7.10.4 |
| 20:02.17 | ManicMechE | and I'm not sure where to find anything that it installed |
| 20:02.57 | ManicMechE | not in the applications folder |
| 20:03.04 | ManicMechE | not in the root directory |
| 20:03.13 | ManicMechE | not in my home directory |
| 20:08.55 | ``Erik | hum, mebbe look for /usr/brlcad ? |
| 20:09.39 | brlcad | ManicMechE: you'll need to run X11 (in Utilities folder), then run /usr/brlcad/bin/mged |
| 20:09.48 | brlcad | in the xterm that opens up |
| 20:09.55 | brlcad | alas we're still tied to X11 on the mac |
| 20:10.40 | ManicMechE | I found it on my own, but it seems angry |
| 20:10.43 | ``Erik | 30 hours now? |
| 20:11.08 | ManicMechE | Break on __THE_PROCESS_HAS_FORKED_AND_YOU_CANNOT_USE_THIS_COREFOUNDATION_FUNCTI |

| 20:12.42 | ManicMechE | (sorry if I'm a bit of a noob, I've been teaching myself how to use the command line and just getting into oss and such) |
| 20:14.28 | brlcad | ManicMechE: did it actually say that? |
| 20:14.42 | brlcad | that's the first I'ver heard of that.. |
| 20:15.01 | brlcad | you can run /usr/brlcad/bin/mged -f and it won't detach |
| 20:15.23 | ManicMechE | yep |
| 20:18.19 | ManicMechE | hey, now I'm getting somewhere |
| 20:18.34 | ManicMechE | brlcad: thanks, I'll let you know if I have anymore questions |
| 20:27.06 | brlcad | ManicMechE: no problem, someones always here ;) |

| 21:16.45 | ManicMechE | ok, so it was working great for a little while, now when I try to type at the mged prompt, it........does weird stuff |
| 21:17.51 | ManicMechE | and after killing it and starting again a couple times, it is miraculously fixed? |
| 21:18.08 | ManicMechE | methinks maybe it's not getting along with Leopard |
| 21:20.06 | brlcad | hrm, if you can repeat or quantify what you mean.. |
| 21:20.26 | brlcad | I've not seen any issues on Mac with the latest yet except for remote X11 |
| 21:20.59 | ManicMechE | I switched away in spaces for a moment |
| 21:21.12 | ManicMechE | when I switched back, both Terminal and the X11 windows were gone |
| 21:21.42 | ManicMechE | when I got them back (just fiddling around), trying to type at the mged prompt caused it to behave erratically |
| 21:21.48 | ManicMechE | such as the prompt disappearing |
| 21:21.54 | ManicMechE | it tabbing over |
| 21:22.11 | ManicMechE | it deleting bits of what was already there |
| 21:22.18 | ManicMechE | I had to kill it through the gui |
| 21:22.33 | ManicMechE | I started it again |
| 21:22.38 | ManicMechE | same business |
| 21:22.41 | ManicMechE | killed it again |
| 21:22.43 | ManicMechE | started again |
| 21:22.46 | ManicMechE | and now it works fine |
| 21:25.27 | brlcad | oh, I read about that with Spaces |
| 21:26.12 | brlcad | on the Tk mailing list, it's a bug in X11 fixed in latest sources but not in 10.5 yet |
| 21:26.24 | brlcad | affecting windows and input control |
| 21:26.37 | ManicMechE | I suspected as much |
| 21:26.57 | ManicMechE | moving x11 windows across spaces has already proven to be bad news for me |
| 21:27.11 | brlcad | there's actually one guy at Apple that was dedicated to work on the problem, he was asking for help from X11 devs |
| 21:27.36 | brlcad | apparently a really hard set of bugs |
| 21:28.56 | ManicMechE | I would imagine |
