Just with some sticks. A purely geometric mathematical proof. 03:20:32 it was not easy! 03:20:40 took me a couple hours 03:20:57 those ancients were damn smart! 03:21:09 try it some time. 03:21:19 how do you add the areas together? 03:21:45 did you say ancients? 03:21:48 you have to prove a skew first. 03:21:51 yeah 03:21:55 they built the stargates you know... 03:21:59 heh 03:22:31 lots of java applets on geometrical proofs 03:22:47 but just try it without looking at them for clues 03:22:49 yuck 03:22:52 not easy!!! 03:23:17 there are some proofs shown here: http://www.cut-the-knot.org/pythagoras/index.shtml 03:23:26 i dont know how to prove anything, much less do it without any words 03:24:11 hi jeff 03:24:52 jeff, now you know. But try it without those learning aids 03:25:00 it was hard 03:25:05 for me at least 03:25:47 les_w: is the proof you found similar to any of the ones on this page? I think I'd be most likely to find proof 3 or 4 myself. 03:26:23 but I can believe the "ancients" were very smart. I was much smarter a few years ago than I am now, and just imagine how smart I would have been 2000 years ago if you do a linear regression... 03:26:38 proof 3 is the easiest. No I did not do it that way. I could not see it or didn't think of it. 03:26:47 I proved a skew first. 03:26:56 jepler: lol 03:26:57 I did it the hard way I guess 03:28:15 proof #3 is brilliant 03:28:49 man there are a lot of proofs here 03:29:13 my question: is the idea of the Pythagorean Theorem somehow enhanced by another correct proof? 03:29:17 It is weird to think of the ancients being as smart as us or smarter, but being at the total mercy of their enviroment....dying in 20 years 03:30:07 I did the skew proof first. I did not need to though. I just didn't see any other way 03:30:17 aieee.. too many ;) 03:30:27 but #3 is great 03:30:30 I'm no Pythagorous! 03:30:39 I think he did #3 03:30:40 4,5 are just a bit different 03:31:24 yeah 03:31:55 I wonder how many of those actually use knowledge that pythagora didn't have.. 03:32:44 like area of a triangle.. did he know that already? or discover it later? 03:32:53 les_w grab me when your not busy 03:33:04 I just see it as pre and post calculus. Kepler spent a lifetime trying to come up with a geometric model of what the calculus does. 03:33:39 calculus===industrial revolution and us living longer than 20 years 03:36:43 If the ancients had figured out the calculus we would be living on alpha centauri 03:36:50 or near... 03:36:51 haha 03:37:29 In a galaxy far far away.... 03:38:34 les_w: I assume there was something like a normal distribution of intelligence, just like now, and we have surviving works from the very brightest 03:38:47 like today, I bet there were many, many dull-witted people... 03:39:38 Jymmm is now known as Red70sShow 03:39:38 Red70sShow is now known as Jymmm 03:40:17 cradek. I think about one dozen individuals were responsible for humans going from caves to the moon. 03:40:22 if that many 03:40:40 I think there are caves on the moon 03:40:48 big big spread in human cognitive ability 03:40:54 alex: hahahaha 03:41:05 so it's just like going to other caves 03:41:08 ROFL 03:41:14 heh 03:41:21 les_w: why do you think there is such a large distribution? 03:41:41 hmm... 03:41:43 i mean in both senses, why you think that, and what is the mechanism behind it 03:42:39 I thought about that some with the pythagoran thing with sticks 03:42:47 les_w when your cutting your sign blanks, how do prevent chipout? 03:42:57 I showed other people and they did not understand 03:43:07 they just saw a pile of sticks. 03:43:33 chipout where? 03:44:20 Jymmm: duct tape :) 03:44:27 or maybe packing tape 03:44:32 fenn tried that, didn't work 03:44:41 les_w my cut pieces 03:44:57 good idea though...I have glued paper to the surface...sand off later 03:45:27 les_w how have you been doing it so far for your sign blanks? 03:45:28 jymmm get a better saw blade.. more teeth, sharper rake angles 03:46:28 my mitersaw is 60T but I need some way to "fill" the crevice to prevent bottom chipout 03:46:30 you could try cutting from both sides, finishing in the middle 03:46:39 fenn eeeeeeeeeeeww 03:46:42 I stopped using paper when I found that if I just left the filler coats on the wood it would hold the fibers in place 03:47:07 les_w filler coat, you mentioned that once before, what is it? 03:47:29 water based acrylic pore filler 03:47:45 clear? 03:47:49 dries clear? 03:47:54 basically . 03:47:58 are you using a sliding miter saw or a "chop saw"? 03:48:04 slight haze 03:48:16 fenn chop, lil dinky thing, 8.5" blade 03:48:58 funny. We cut turkey call planks with a chain saw! 03:49:19 you know the hole in miter saws where the blade goes after it'ds thru the material.... mine is about 1/2" wide and about 6" long, any idea on what I could fill that with? 03:49:23 The cnc does the final edge trimming 03:49:44 les_w thats what I've been doing, but can't this time. 03:49:48 jymmm: bondo? 03:50:14 les_w can I hit the bondo with the blade or will it fubar my blade? 03:50:36 bondo is thermoset resin filled with talc, it should be fine 03:50:53 It won't hurt it for one quick slice 03:50:54 dont know how you will get it flat enough though 03:51:14 ok, my saw is painted cast iron should stick 03:51:52 fenn flat enough? just run a straight edge across it beefore it dries hard 03:52:05 i'd sugest casting it upside down actually 03:52:27 unless you do multiple coats of bondo 03:52:34 it tends to sag a little after you scrape it 03:52:55 all the newer saws have a replacable plastic piece, this is OLD 03:53:07 it is unsaturated polyester/styrene thermoset catalyzed with benzoyl peroxide or methyl ethyl ketone peroxide. 03:53:22 what does the peroxide do? 03:53:41 filled with talc, clay, microballons, or chopped glass 03:53:47 creates a free radical on the monomer probably 03:54:11 catalyst 03:54:17 ah 03:54:34 the stuff in the little tube... 03:54:41 smelly stuff 03:54:53 it's the styrene 03:55:04 smelly and bad to breathe 03:55:05 no the mek peroxide smells worse, and you cant wash it off 03:55:16 heh 03:55:52 jymmm why not just plunk a board down on the table? 03:55:54 I got sick last time I mixed up a bunch. Had poor ventilation. 03:55:58 I'll have to take a pic of my saw, 03:56:28 i used to use bondo resin for casting miniature models in my dorm room.. everyone thought i was making drugs 03:56:33 fenn at 90 deg the limit is 5.5", guess the width of the stuff I need to cut is? 03:56:59 5.51 03:57:06 uh, 1"? 03:57:08 exatly =) 03:57:12 5.5" 03:57:23 if I rasi it up, it'll be a tad short. 03:57:41 get a sawblade attachment for your router 03:58:04 you'll be the only kid on the block with a cnc jigsaw 03:58:24 lol 03:58:38 I'd rather have a 150 watt laser 03:59:23 excuse me a sec, brb 03:59:27 Jymmm is now known as MrAsshole 04:00:11 ? 04:00:13 MrAsshole is now known as Jymmm 04:00:32 les_w one of my alter egos 04:00:39 ha 04:00:50 had to bitchslap someone in antoher channel 04:01:09 I just finished playng trivial pursuit on paltalk. 04:01:20 night #2 huh? 04:01:27 I seem to do very well at that game. 04:01:38 I guess I am really trivial. 04:02:16 I always did shitty at it 04:02:46 I was always good at that and monopoly. 04:03:14 I'm just good at giving ppl a hard time 04:03:28 deviced a 3 decker monopoly with slum, middle class, and rich layers. 04:03:36 lol 04:04:01 wiht a express shuttle from the hookville to the lawyerville? 04:04:08 We had an anything goes monopoly too. 04:04:33 wiht a express shuttle from Hookerville to LawyerTown? 04:04:57 lie, cheat, loan shark, steal from the bank, dog ear chance and community chest cards 04:05:24 loan shark? 04:05:25 beer was involved too. 04:05:34 yeah!!! 04:05:47 how do you loan shark in monopoly? 04:06:14 need money?

I might outrun it 04:39:16 do you want to mirror the tar file on cncgear? 04:39:29 SWPadnos: no thanks 04:39:32 ok 04:39:46 sf has plenty of mirrors 04:39:50 if it's on SF.. they have plenty of mirrors 04:39:59 ok - I hear sf has lots of mirrors 04:40:08 lol 04:40:11 alex_joni the other surprises will come in the form of morning sickness 04:40:11 the thing about sf is they have a lot of mirrors 04:40:19 great minds.. think alike 04:40:25 so you can never tell which is the real one, huh? 04:40:38 no, but there are plenty 04:40:52 the real one will bonk you on the head 04:41:57 almost there... 04:42:06 what about docs? 04:42:18 those will follow 04:44:11 should be ok now... 04:44:16 who can check? 04:44:36 from the url above? 04:44:45 not yet 04:44:53 http://osdn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/emc/emc-1.2.0-rc1.src.tgz 04:45:04 but there are plenty of mirrors 04:45:28 they don't have the file though :) 04:45:55 ok, 2690k (vs 2260k for the earlier one) 04:46:27 does it untar? 04:46:28 total of 1239 files in the tar (that may include dirs, I'm not sure) 04:47:13 WinZip seems to untar it just fine 04:47:20 ok 04:47:33 SWPadnos: hint, use total commander 04:47:46 in Windows? 04:47:53 it's so much better ;) and handles any packages 04:47:55 yes 04:48:15 I open .bz2, .tgz, .deb, .rpm, .iso you name it 04:48:25 well - I actually have a WinZip license, so I might as well use it 04:48:33 :) 04:48:59 total commander is much more.. actually a file/system browser 04:49:13 actually, it's a 3-user license, so I *really* should use it :) 04:49:15 like the old norton commander, or mc on linux 04:49:31 I also have take Command, which I like quite abit 04:49:34 a bit 04:49:52 if you've ever heard of 4DOS, this is the Win32 version 04:50:04 I think so.. a while ago 04:50:20 back in the big BBS days, it was very popular 04:51:06 ok - the newest WinZip also supports bzip2 04:51:16 though I'd have to pay for the upgrade, I think :( 04:52:16 SWPadnos: how much for winzip? 04:52:48 I'm trying to find out what the upgrade costs. the normal price is $30 04:52:52 * cradek laughs at paying for an unzip program 04:53:00 right :) 04:53:08 * cradek laughs at paying for an OS 04:53:09 yeah - it is kinda funny 04:53:13 * cradek trolls 04:53:14 sorry 04:53:42 I hate paying for a F*&^%$^ OS as well, but my fine development software only runs on Win$ 04:54:09 SWPadnos: mingw 04:54:28 not C development 04:54:57 microcontroller, DSP, PCB, FPGA ... 04:55:09 ah 04:55:13 I only do avr 04:55:25 and so you can use avr-gcc :) 04:55:45 of course 04:55:50 I think the Atmel software (which is pretty good, BTW) will run under WINE 04:55:50 it works great 04:56:03 yeah maybe 04:56:26 but if you're used to emacs/vi and have command line tools, plus gdb set up for it, then you're just as well off (almost) 04:56:37 the only thing you lose is the nice simulator 04:56:50 I had a linux simulator, forget what it was 04:56:52 I never used it 04:57:04 you could attach gdb to it 04:57:18 it's probably less necessary when you use C instead of asm 04:57:22 yeah 04:57:34 I've never used C on an AVR 04:57:34 it's easy to write a correct C program 04:57:41 oh try it, you'll never go back 04:57:50 kicks ass 04:57:57 I've used C many times on non-AVR stuff (including other micros) 04:58:14 but al the stuff I've done on AVR is *HARD* realtime 04:58:15 it usually generates about the same asm you would write by hand 04:58:29 like - count the cycles, make sure they line up nicely 04:58:34 ugh 04:58:37 things like software radio reception 04:58:46 I generated ntsc for one project 04:59:02 there was a little bit of inline asm 04:59:13 though the rest of it could easily be done in C (UI, EEPROM management, timing (using a timer) etc) 05:00:12 I'm off to bed 05:00:13 goodnight 05:00:19 night 05:01:01 night chris 05:01:02 := 05:03:44 WinZip USED to give free upgrades.... bastards 05:03:58 SWPadnos there's always pkzip =) 05:04:10 yep, but winzip works for me 05:04:25 oh you need tar huh?

16:20:22 I'd like to use the translated rs274ngc error messages in AXIS when they're available 16:21:43 jepler: I think they don't get built as .mo 16:21:53 but I really don't have a clue how they get used 16:26:46 skunkworks has joined #emc 16:35:54 alex_joni: judging from the fact that 'msgfmt' won't even process de_rs274ngc_err.mo, I think you might be right that it's not used 16:36:03 on the other hand, I could have sworn I got some german messages from emc2 when testing 16:36:06 (not from axis) 16:42:48 it does work.. but not sure how 16:43:54 I think there is a define called USE_NLS 16:44:06 that activates gettext() 16:44:54 but gettext() always refers to a .mo fille, doesn't it? 16:47:51 looking now 16:50:50 I really have no clue ;) 17:20:37 Imperator_ has joined #emc 17:22:31 hi Martin 17:24:27 Hi Alex 17:24:35 what's up Martin? 17:24:51 did you ever use rs274 error messages in german? 17:24:53 was out with the bike 17:25:12 i have sean them, why ? 17:25:51 I asked if you used them ;) 17:26:16 how can i use error messages :-) 17:27:08 I mean to use the translations.. 17:27:11 never mind ;) 17:27:29 ah, yes 17:27:44 it switched automaticaly to german 17:27:53 it did? 17:27:58 strange :D 17:28:00 yes 17:28:15 since a long time 17:28:18 you know I mean the rs274 stuff, not tkemc 17:28:30 ah, sorry no idea 17:29:17 hm 17:42:14 alex_joni: I seem to remember that work being done by Max Hess. 17:42:27 Last I heard he was somewhere near Berlin. 17:43:04 yeah, the work is ok.. not sure how to use it though 17:43:20 Don't look at me. 17:44:00 IMO the interp looked up errors based on numbers 17:44:19 so substituting the de file for the en one might do it. 17:44:44 rayh: btw, think you can generate new pdf's? 17:44:57 of? 17:46:10 * rayh fears, "all of it!" 18:06:05 heh.. the docs ;) 18:06:26 or should I say.. 'only the docs' .. 18:06:33 if they changed of course 18:07:48 They have all changed. 18:08:10 I put some new stuff in Hal_Introduction.lyx the other day. 18:08:29 but we should add to halcmd for the new. 18:08:49 and for the timer that swp wrote a few days ago 18:09:03 * SWPadnos runs away screaming 18:09:29 I could go through the user_handbook and rip out what doesn't apply any more 18:09:37 big changes with emc2 and the ini 18:09:50 Imperator_ has quit 18:09:58 a major revision to the g code stuff for lerman. 18:10:41 I'm finishing up a book edit right now but could get some work done by Monday. 18:12:39 oh.. I meant docs for emc1 first 18:12:46 those shouldn't be that different 18:14:16 * alex_joni goes away for a while 18:18:51 okay. let me work on it a bit. 18:20:30 Jacky^ has joined #emc 18:20:51 hallo :)) 18:21:07 Hello Jacky^ 18:21:14 hi rayh 18:23:02 today we got a wonderful day in Pompei ! 18:23:15 uploading some photos :D 18:23:30 a very nice day :) 18:25:39 Great. 18:26:10 Not bad here, just a bit of snow on the breeze.

I passed around Pompei lot of times. Never seen it. After I see Stallman photos in Pompei , I just decided to spend a day to go to visit Pompei 18:37:00 it was 40 min of car from here.. 18:40:41 upload complete :D 18:40:44 http://digilander.libero.it/jackydgl0/pompei/index.html 18:41:45 I made 400 or moro photos :P but upload just some 18:41:53 more 18:44:19 What you see is waht remain after vesuvio eruption 18:48:18 Years ago I read how they had found tiny fractures in some of the lava 18:48:43 caused by noises during the hardening. 18:48:47 yeah :) 18:49:06 by reading these fractures, they could hear the sounds 18:51:02 they found peoples covered by lava looking as sculptures 18:51:22 Nice set of images. 18:51:24 someone was eating, ome other in the bed .. 18:51:26 :) 18:51:30 That you? 18:51:34 yeah 18:51:43 and shes K4ts 18:52:25 that image has not gotten here yet. 18:54:34 http://digilander.libero.it/jackydgl0/pompei/img087.jpeg.html 18:54:52 in this you can see the vulcan smoking .. 18:55:18 latest strong earthquake has been in 1980 here 19:01:45 darn, images stopped before k4ts got here. 19:02:10 hehehe 19:02:47 rayh: you want to switch at faster dsl :) 19:03:24 dialup -- I want faster anything! 19:04:05 :) 19:04:43 Much to far from town to get any connection other than sat. 19:04:57 Unless I set up a wireless link. 19:05:20 and that costs to much for right now. 19:05:34 mmm.. yep 19:15:19 later 19:15:25 Jacky^ is now known as Jacky^dinner 19:46:24 Imperator_ has joined #emc 20:19:09 chris__ has joined #emc 20:19:32 hi 20:23:56 hi chris__ 20:24:08 any luck with a DEBUG build? 20:24:27 yeah i emailed chris radek 20:25:08 ok, cool 20:25:36 errno 22 20:26:52 _sen.c: rcs_sem_wait(): invalid argument 20:27:06 _sem.c 20:27:15 chris__: not really... I mean that tells us what's happening, but I don't see why 20:28:06 so no idea what caues that? 20:28:28 I don't see an errno #22 ?? 20:28:51 oops - I should look at asm/errno.h as well :) 20:28:53 i do lots 20:29:06 SWPadnos: EINVAL 20:29:10 oh 20:29:11 ottos has joined #emc 20:29:15 from semop() 20:29:28 good day gents... 20:29:28 EINVAL The semaphore set doesn't exist, or semid is less than zero, or 20:29:28 nsops has a non-positive value. 20:29:46 we can tell nsops is 1, semid >0, so it means "the semaphore set doesn't exist" 20:29:58 hello ottos 20:33:02 so whats that mean? 20:33:17 I was off for couple of months, so might sound green but are the recompile comands / structure same for the latest release as they ware before ( Redhat release) ? 20:33:55 do you mean the emc 1.2.0-rc1 release we're just now making? 20:34:20 the 4.38.. 20:35:38 i go axis to work with emc1. alot has changed since i was here last, sep 7 2004 20:36:42 ouch... what would be that most stable version to work with vital motenc-100? 20:36:59 Jacky^dinner is now known as Jacky^ 20:37:23 dinner its 7:30am 20:38:33 ottos: the difference between the old redhat releases and the latest BDI is ... everything 20:39:12 hm...guess will have to get all the details... Viki is up to date? 20:39:41 some places more than others, but generally yes 20:40:02 "viki"? 20:40:04 im going on holidays for 2 weeks, cya 20:40:04 oh, wiki? 20:40:08 chris__: have fun 20:40:14 always 20:40:20 chris__ has quit 20:40:21 ottos: if you have an old working system, you can update emc with the latest release 1.2.0 20:40:45 ottos: that's another alternative to installing a new operating system (BDI) 20:41:03 nicky33 has joined #emc 20:41:09 TranceRiver has quit 20:41:10 nicky33 is now known as TranceRiver 20:42:06 cradek : thank you. for recompiling on the new Bdi, commands are the same? 20:42:28 no, not really 20:42:39 ? suggestions? 20:42:43 compiling emc1 is not possible on the new BDI 20:42:54 hi 20:43:04 there is another version of emc that was made just for BDI, it's a combination of emc1 and emc2 code 20:43:20 ottos: There is a wiki page that describes how to set up 4.38 for compiling. 20:43:25 does it make much sense to compile emc1 ? :/ 20:43:29 if you want to use emc2 (the release is upcoming) BDI is a good platform to use 20:43:30 ok. thanks. 20:43:54 You can NOT compile the emc(1) release on BDI-4.xx 20:44:09 anything that will support servo ( vital ) 20:44:40 ottos wrote "most stable version to work with vital motenc-100?" 20:44:57 and the answer there is emc2 running on a bdi 4.30 20:45:31 That is the setup we used for the Mazak at Cardinal Engineering. 20:45:43 that is good to know 20:46:13 The only difference is we used the "lite" or four axis vital board. 20:46:24 nice. so 4.3 should do the trick... 20:46:56 Yep. You will need to work your way through the BDI compile page on the wiki. 20:47:10 at least down to getting the source for the compile 20:47:18 ok will try... 20:47:29 then switch over to getting the emc2 source page and work from there. 20:47:45 the compile is very easy thanks to Alex and the guys. 20:48:28 You could use quite a bit of the mazak config that you get with the emc2 source. 20:48:41 rayh, talking about the Vital cards, did you have any offset voltage on the card output? 20:48:41 but I think it will fail on the aux io. 20:49:07 a bit and it was different between axes? 20:49:27 jmk though it had to do with some sort of ground routing on the card itself 20:49:51 He and Abdul at vital talked about the problem. 20:50:10 who is he.,.>? 20:50:20 You can set the offsets with HAL to zero out drift. 20:57:31 03rayhenry * 10emc2/tcl/bin/halconfig.tcl: startup tests for interactive hal and working tree display. 21:08:18 Jymmm is now known as Red70sShow 21:08:18 Red70sShow is now known as Jymmm 21:11:37 thank you guys...will jump on it... 21:11:45 :D 21:11:52 nice idea :) 21:15:00 alex_joni: you around ?

22:16:14 the BDI comes with a realtime kernel 22:16:19 That should work 22:16:24 you should not change the kernel 22:16:34 which BDI version did you install? 22:16:51 ok, how do I start emc in demo mode from whaat I compiled in cvs 22:17:03 cd to the emc2 directory 22:17:07 scripts/emc sim 22:17:08 its bitching about not being able load the modules 22:17:27 what's the actual error? 22:18:04 ERROR: cannot load /lib/modules/2.6.12.6-magma/rtai/rtai_hal.ko 22:18:05 insmod: can't read 'rtai_hal': No such file or directory 22:19:21 did you make install, or are you running it in place? 22:19:29 runing in place 22:19:41 I read make install did not work yet 22:19:50 it's true it is not well tested 22:20:25 2.6.12.6-magma is the name of the kernel 22:20:59 unfortunately I don't have a rtai/bdi machine available right now 22:21:00 the modules need to make their way into the /lib/modules tree for the kernel 22:21:08 make install is a way to make that happen 22:21:18 icee: he should be able to run in place 22:21:26 really? hm. 22:21:27 Sed_: what command exactly are you using to start it? 22:21:36 i seem to remember some breakage with that 22:21:51 icee: no, that's the typical way to run. 22:22:01 I have rebuilt the kernel since the CD install 22:22:16 Sed_: ouch 22:22:26 Sed_: does the built-in version of emc work? 22:22:28 kernel-headers-2.6.12.6-magma I am not sure how to link the headers in 22:22:31 building a rt-capable kernel isn't fun 22:22:46 Sed_: why did you recompile it? 22:22:57 to ad NIC drivers 22:23:05 sed: couldn't build them as modules? 22:23:09 Sed_: does the built-in version of emc work? 22:23:22 no and I dont know why... but that seems to be the problem 22:23:31 ok so this is not an emc2 problem 22:23:41 you must not have some part of rtai installed correctly 22:23:46 I don't know how to help you 22:23:47 when I rebuilt the kernel I didnt know how to link the kerne headers 22:24:01 ok I will look into that 22:24:08 good luck Sed_ 22:24:10 I could load the original kernel but then no net... 22:24:14 it's not just a kernel header problem if the existing emc install broke, too 22:24:35 it must be something about rtai modules? 22:24:44 sed: what you ought to do is use the original kernel, and build networking modules 22:25:04 icee I did, for some reason they didnt load 22:25:11 * icee shrugs 22:25:15 icee: rarely does that work (building modules separately) 22:25:25 but they built as modules after patching the kernel source.. and loaded 22:25:42 cradek: i do that all the time 22:25:53 so now Ihave to patch the kernel source with kernel-headers-2.6.12.6-magma or figure out were to download all this from scratch 22:26:06 of course, you need to be careful with the module version settings and ues the same kernel source 22:26:13 right 22:26:26 always seems to have some problem for me anyway if I don't build them right together 22:26:29 oh well 22:26:36 Sed_: maybe there are docs on rtai.org 22:26:39 the .config was generated by the existing kernel and other than the headers and nic patch should be the same 22:26:47 oh ok 22:27:01 rtai.org I didnt know about. 22:27:27 I will get the kernel working first with the original EMC. 22:27:36 Sed_: digging up a different network card would probably be faster! 22:27:49 yea my thoughts too 22:27:59 but this is for somone else 22:28:05 I like to take the simple way out (and I have lots of hardware around) 22:34:50 anyone want to see an homemade videoclip ?
