12:30 AM rue_house: its worse tho
12:33 AM rue_house: its like an fpga with memory weaved into the logic
12:33 AM rue_house: but not concentrated
12:33 AM rue_house: memories aren't made by 1 cell thats a 1 or a 0,
12:33 AM rue_house: they are made by slight biases of lots and lots of cells that are crossed balanced into a mesh of multiple memories
12:33 AM rue_house: like raid,
12:33 AM rue_house: a pattern of biases, as a whole constitute an article of memory
12:33 AM rue_house: like the way bar codes use symbols
12:33 AM rue_house: layers and layers of junk that forms a mix of memory and function
12:34 AM rue_house: but there is a good side
12:34 AM zhanx: muscle memory does not mean i remember how to do it. I just do it
12:34 AM __M00N__: woops
12:34 AM rue_house: you can take almost ANY chaotic network that has a few criteria, add a feedback loop, and it works itself out
12:35 AM rue_house: zhanx, spinal cord macros, dont just freeze your brain
12:35 AM zhanx: good luck on those
12:35 AM rue_house: without the macros in the spinal cord, the codes output by the cerebelum mean diddily-squat
12:37 AM zhanx: well the spinal cord macros need to also run independent of the cerebellum
12:37 AM rue_house: limited grey matter in the spinal cord
12:37 AM rue_house: it also optimizes the link count to the cerebelum
12:38 AM rue_house: which is why the size of the nerve cluster is distributed like it is
12:38 AM rue_house: (all wrong from a standard engineering point of view)
12:41 AM rue_house: the only way I can see to port it all, I dont like
12:43 AM zhanx: well get the code structure worked out first
12:43 AM rue_house: its not coded
12:44 AM rue_house: I'm having a hard time trying to figure out how to implement the network with existing tech
12:44 AM rue_house: but I'm trying to push forward things I dont know how to do yet
12:45 AM rue_house: trying to not just stand still on progress is hard
12:45 AM rue_house: I'v got a voice saying that I need to use the equity I have built up, leave work and put everything I'v got into it
12:45 AM rue_house: :-S talk about leaps of faith
12:46 AM zhanx: yea
12:46 AM zhanx: one you need to figure out the hardware
12:46 AM rue_house: the purpose of my organic life is to create a mind for my electromechanical life
12:46 AM zhanx: 2 buy it
12:46 AM rue_house: ""
12:46 AM rue_house: I should make the equip to play with nerve signals more
12:48 AM zhanx: do 1 node
12:50 AM rue_house: part of what I need to work out is the requirements for the chaotic network, and how the feedback works
12:51 AM rue_house: did you hear about the evolved fpga program for detecting tones?
12:51 AM rue_house: and it turned out that it used the crosstalk between the gates to do it?
12:51 AM rue_house: *surprise*
12:52 AM zhanx: no i didn't but that is cool
12:52 AM rue_house: bit flipping might be a way to get the hardware
05:44 AM Tom_L: zhanx, someone's father actually did that
05:45 AM Tom_L: when he passed just recently
07:45 AM zhanx: Tom_L: was it on the news, I think I saw it there
02:07 PM Tom_L: no it was in #seattlerobotics
09:05 PM zhanx: http://imgur.com/a/aUIvG all boxes should scale to screen size soon, temp and soil data changes the box color. Monitor system for the garden mesh
11:33 PM Tom_L: ok, added directory search function to the file conversion utility
11:34 PM Tom_L: to pick the input file
