09:00 rue_house anyone wanna help me page thru 34 billion 5x7 pixel images for good font patterns?
09:01 rue_house I'v only generated 1.1million of them so far, but realized that I may not want to continue until I have help, or at one image/sec It'll take me 1088 years to get thru them all
09:10 GuShH rue_house: what the hell?
09:10 GuShH this is what neural nets are for.
09:11 GuShH give it a good set, train it, done.
09:11 rue_house no, that would take too long
09:11 GuShH it might take a few hours or days but you won't end up with square eyes
09:11 GuShH it wouldn't
09:11 rue_house I want to know everything in 5x7 thats 'valid'
09:11 ShH s
09:11 GuShH once it's trained, you get instant feedback
09:11 rue_house there are the BEST 5x7 fonts in here
09:12 ShH puts rue_house in a
09:12 GuShH deemed too insane for this world!
09:12 rue_house its every pixel combination!
09:12 rue_house the absolute best 5x7 charaters are in here
09:12 GuShH Now I want a tshirt with a set of 5x7 fonts
09:13 rue_house I can give you 1.1 million images to consider
09:13 GuShH bring it on
09:13 rue_house I wonder how much they zip down to
09:13 rue_house it takes ls like 8 minutes to list this directory
09:13 GuShH are they randomly generating? storing the hash that generated each good sample would be just as big as storing the binary map in some cases
09:14 GuShH generated*
09:14 rue_house no, its binary sequential
09:14 GuShH you are pushing your file system :p
09:14 rue_house I ahve the genorator backgrounded right now
09:15 rue_house er, suspended
09:15 rue_house till I work out what to do with the files
09:15 rue_house atleast the 1.1M I have now
09:15 rue_house ok, uh I dont know how to move them
09:15 GuShH lol
09:15 GuShH time for a database
09:16 rue_house I cant use *, it cant hold 1.1M matches
09:16 GuShH delete and start over again
09:16 rue_house but it took like 5 mins to generate the 1.1 million images I have
09:16 GuShH that's nothing
09:17 GuShH most of the time was just your storage device farting around
09:17 GuShH it's faster if you just collect data and dump big blocks to the fs
09:17 GuShH it's how nature would do it, you don't walk around pooping little bits all the time, do you
09:18 GuShH well flyback does.
09:18 rue_house and deer and rabbits
09:18 rue_house find |grep isn't any faster
09:19 rue_house oh its a bit faster
09:24 GuShH rue_house: hey leave the rabbits alone!
09:25 rue_house they started it!
09:26 rue_house moving 1.1 million files takes a little while
09:27 rue_house yea file is 53 bytes...
09:29 rue_house hmm 2TB of images
09:29 rue_house I only have a 1TB array
13:25 GuShH rue_house: do they all come out of the same factory or do they all copy each other in china? http://www.cncmasters.com/index.php?page=cnc-1340-late
13:26 GuShH it might be cnc but they have the same designs of the smaller lathes
13:26 GuShH also I wonder if the motor on the back is for the tailstock
13:30 GuShH I like it all white.. hrmm maybe if I ever repaint the stand!
14:46 MrCurious good afternoon wider robotic community
15:24 MrCurious any good robotic black friday cyber deals out there
15:25 mutilator it depends on if http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0049XHPA2/ref=tsm_1_fb_s_amzn_mx1kvw
15:25 mutilator this is robotic..
15:45 MrCurious nce
15:45 MrCurious ice
15:45 MrCurious nice. if only i lived ina place that did "cold"
15:49 mutilator doesnt need to be cold
15:49 mutilator you'll just look more awesome than everyone else
15:53 MrCurious if i wanted to look more awesome thaneveryone else, i would just get a shrt with a wolf howling at the moononit
15:54 MrCurious however... if i combined the shirt with the mask....
15:54 MrCurious the TSA would probably make a house call and molest me at home.
17:16 GuShH MrCurious: sounds naughty
17:16 GuShH snap goes the latex glove
17:16 GuShH wink wink
17:17 MrCurious *shiver&
20:55 MrCurious arrgh! i buy 4 for $10
20:55 MrCurious then find 10 for 11!!!!! http://www.ebay.com/itm/10pcs-4Pin-Aviation-Plug-Metal-Connector-Audio-CNC-Stepper-Motor-Connector-GX16/130864114793?_trksid=p5713.m2062&_trkparms=aid%3D555012%26algo%3DPW.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D19223%26meid%3D3057306985510177917%26pid%3D100042%26prg%3D8683%26rk%3D7%26rkt%3D9%26sd%3D140928143511%26
22:47 rue_shop2 hmmm motor drivers...
22:47 rue_shop2 hmmm
22:48 rue_shop2 yea, I lack nice, simple, generic motor drivers
22:53 rue_shop2 oh oh oh oh oh yay ebay, I got me a LMD18200!
22:59 rue_shop2 damn, somehow I remembered that these pins could be corraled into a .1" grid
