00:37:04 <sbp> can't find much in the way of technical details
00:37:10 <sbp> it actually looks... tentatively cool
00:37:19 <sbp> but I'll bet it goes the way of the OLPC 1
00:37:25 <sbp> overexpensive, breakable, etc.
00:37:41 <sbp> oh, word I thought of: expantiation

00:44:42 <sbp> see also http://www.xconomy.com/2008/05/20/negroponte-unveils-2nd-generation-olpc-laptop-its-an-e-book/
00:45:24 <nsh> cluedram is a good word
00:45:51 <nsh> ffs
00:46:09 <nsh> (XP on XO)
00:46:17 <sbp> yeah. dual boot, at least
00:46:20 <sbp> but wtfnesses
00:46:26 <sbp> also, they should have OS X on it obviously
00:46:30 <sbp> if an iPhone can run it...
00:46:49 <aspect> sbp: Costs will be kept down in part by using screens built for portable DVD players,
00:46:52 <aspect> lose
00:47:07 <aspect> the screen was the thing OLPC had right, and why I went "oo?" when I saw the ebook format
00:47:16 <sbp> why lose?
00:47:46 <sbp> are DVD player screens scummagely?
00:47:52 <aspect> major step backwards from the screens on XO-1
00:48:13 <aspect> I don't have high hopes for daylight readability
00:48:23 <sbp> I thought the XO-1 screens were basically evil incarnate, by design?
00:49:09 *** cre8radix|street has quit (Read error: 113 (No route to host))
00:49:32 <aspect> what I saw looked quite good. in mono mode it was very readable even under full sun
00:49:49 <aspect> and very low power use, I expect
00:50:17 <sbp> doesn't sun-readability have more to do with the *coating*?
00:50:28 <sbp> presumably they'll use their own coating, since they have to have the touchscreen layer
00:50:43 <aspect> hmm perhaps
00:51:18 <sbp> as I say, they'll probably cack it up *somehow*...
00:51:35 <aspect> still, it's good to see them pushing some more boundaries
00:51:39 <sbp> yeah
00:51:52 <sbp> I wonder if it might eventually inspire the commercial developers too
00:52:11 <sbp> Apple nearly get their shit right
00:52:17 <sbp> and then they come out with something like the MacBook Air
00:52:21 <aspect> classmate and eeepc enough of an indication?
00:52:31 <sbp> hmm, good point
00:52:49 <sbp> but they're not ebook/laptop hybrids. I mean that's a pretty darn good idea
00:53:37 <aspect> yeah the ebook space sort of got polluted by amazon's silly thing
00:53:44 <sbp> yeah...

00:54:48 <Monty> "you"
00:54:52 <sbp> nu
00:55:51 <sbp> I saw an iPhone the other day, for the first time
00:55:55 <sbp> dunno if I mentioned it here
00:56:06 <sbp> I've been keeping an eye out since they first released them here
00:56:15 <sbp> very surprised I didn't see one sooner, actually
00:56:22 <sbp> anyway, it was a lot bigger than I thought it would be
00:56:27 <sbp> it took me a little while to recognise it
00:56:46 <sbp> I was just thinking about how big and heavy the XO-2 will be
00:56:48 <procto> sbp: it'- coating for glare, but msot important for sun readability is how bright it is
00:56:55 <procto> it has to out-bright the sun
00:57:10 <sbp> ehwhat?
00:57:13 <sbp> what about a book
00:57:18 <sbp> a book has no lighting at all
00:57:40 <procto> a book reflects enough of the light
00:57:52 <aspect> procto: the OLPC daylight mode isn't bright, and the light turns off -- it actually reminded me of an LCD display
00:58:02 <sbp> well a glassy laptop reflects enough of the light too. but it reflects it before it gets to the LCD layer
00:58:09 <procto> does it reflect from the bottow og the array?
00:58:16 <aspect> I guess so
00:58:18 <procto> bottom*
00:58:18 <sbp> if you could expose the LCD layer to the sun... I wonder what it'd look like?
00:58:29 <procto> well, that would have the same effect as "being bright"
00:58:41 <sbp> hmm?
00:58:51 <procto> my cellphone's maximum brightness is so bright I can easily see it in full daylight
00:58:57 <procto> but usually I have it on powersave
00:59:08 <sbp> same effect?
00:59:21 <sbp> I wonder how they're getting on with full colour eInk
00:59:27 <procto> no, it just has strong brightness
00:59:34 <procto> but basically the reason is the same
00:59:42 <sbp> what reason is that?
00:59:48 <procto> you could tave it do some fancy deep reflection, or just crank up the brightnesss
00:59:51 <procto> have*
01:00:00 <sbp> I still think that the problem is to do with reflection mainly
01:00:08 <procto> the reason is that you need X lumens coming off a screen overall
01:00:18 <procto> you can do this via reflecting the sun's light
01:00:30 <procto> as most things that are visible do
01:00:35 <procto> or you can provide your own
01:00:39 <sbp> but somehow you have to reflect it at the pigment layer
01:00:49 <sbp> which is what I meant about exposing the LCD to the open air. or just using eInk
01:00:50 <procto> the former is less power intesive, but a bit harder for things like screens
01:00:53 <procto> right, exactly

01:01:14 <procto> all those are still expensive
01:01:37 <sbp> aye. but aspect notes that the XO-1 was pretty good at it all the same
01:01:42 <sbp> (which really surprises me)
01:02:04 <procto> I'll check it out, I have much XO access
01:02:10 <sbp> cool
01:02:36 <sbp> get teh inside storiez
01:03:05 <aspect> I should probably disclaim that I only saw XO-1 in the flesh once, and I was fairly drunk
01:03:55 <sbp> like all the best tech reviwers
01:08:54 *** kpreid has quit ()
01:10:10 <thelsdj> i have it on good authority that the XO-1 is killer with the ladies, they'll come up to you in public places wanting to know what it is, where they can get one, etc
01:12:06 <thelsdj> and btw, i'm still up because i've been playing 'on the rain-slick precipice of darkness'

03:23:49 <sbp> The first mention of truffles appears in the writings of Theophrastus in the fourth century BC. In classical times their origins were a mystery which challenged many; Plutarch and others thought them the result of lightning, warmth and water in the soil, while Juvenal thought thunder and rain to be instrumental in their origin. Cicero deemed them children of the earth, while Dioscorides thought they were tuberous roots.

05:00:04 <procto> nslater: it really depends on what kinds of cocktail
05:00:14 <procto> nslater: usually look at what gets the most garnishes
05:00:24 <procto> more garnish == more "female"
05:00:39 <procto> that is, fruits of all kinds, little umbrellas, country flags, tiny plastic swords
05:00:58 <nslater> and colours perhaps, bright red, green or blue are a little too tropical to be considered masculine I would guess
05:01:00 <procto> manly drinks will take at most 1 garnish that isn't integral to the drink
05:01:08 <procto> that is, the olive in a martini is integral
05:01:14 <procto> the lime in a corona is integral

05:16:50 <nsh> this version better: http://www.iliadeodyssee.com/images/o-carte.jpg
05:17:13 <sbp> I don't know much about Homer (I mean, the works, not the man. nobody knows much about the man)
05:17:14 <sbp> so I investigated what's cool 'bout the dude
05:17:18 <sbp> and it seems it can be summarised thus:
05:17:20 <sbp> 1) The tales are as ancient as all fuck, mang.
05:17:22 <sbp> 2) Homer doesn't write like an arse. He simply doesn't.
05:17:26 <sbp> so it's like mystery + clarity
05:17:58 <nsh> homer was an oral tradition
05:18:05 <sbp> which is always a good combination
05:18:20 <nslater> I've read the first chapter (or whatever, long time ago) of Odyssey and all I remember being preocupied with was thinking "wow, these words are older than I could possibly imagine"
05:18:25 <jsled> (Dude does not write like an arse.)
05:19:08 <sbp> nsh: well some people contend that the style is too consistent to be purely oral tradition
05:19:22 <nsh> [[[
05:19:24 <nsh> For some scholars, such as Geoffrey Kirk, both poems were created by a single author whose individual genius composed them while drawing much of his material from various traditional stories.

06:43:42 <nsh> Rice grown in the United States may be safer than varieties from Asia and Europe, according to a new global study that evaluated levels of arsenic, which can be toxic at high levels.
06:43:55 <nsh> because, sometimes, you just want to throw another clause in there
06:44:35 <nsh> i'm pretty sure i knew arsenic was toxic before i knew there were varieties of rice
06:45:05 <nsh> and i can't imagine anyone who thinks arsenic is toxic if you don't have enough of it in your rice
06:45:12 <nsh> actually...

06:45:43 <_bjoern> Well argued nsh, here is your 50 points.

06:53:45 <sbp> they don't put the right organs into the right places
06:53:49 <_bjoern> it is?

06:55:27 * nsh chuckles inanely to himself
06:56:03 <procto> a friend of mine burns a lot of incense in his car
06:56:13 <sbp> well you expect a particular sex organ to go into either another particular sex organ or the anus or the mouth or ear or eye or something, but then they go all avant garde on you and put it on the TV set instead, and the cat's up there and the cat doesn't like that
06:56:19 <procto> you can imagine that attracts the attention of the police
06:56:28 <sbp> and then they giggle and say that their sex organ is on the telly
06:56:32 <sbp> and think that they are funny
06:56:41 <_bjoern> They would be?
06:56:56 <sbp> yes but they're hippies! you're not supposed to encourage them by laughing
06:57:15 <_bjoern> Yeah mang, and now get off my lawn!
06:57:27 <sbp> woah. far out
06:57:46 <_bjoern> relax mang
06:58:09 <sbp> I was going to try to keep up the hippie slang, but all I could think of is "super"
06:58:19 <sbp> and super ain't hippie. it's more Big Gay Al

07:03:19 <Arnia> Well, my idea for using a graph-based reasoner has failed
07:03:23 <Arnia> grr
07:03:41 <sbp> have you been working on it all this time?
07:03:52 <Arnia> The past couple of days, yes
07:04:08 <nsh> how fail?
07:04:34 <nsh> [did it], not [much]
07:04:37 <Arnia> I can use it as a supplement to an existing NARS reasoner, but not as a standalone. I can't convert the inference rules into a graph formalism
07:04:54 <Arnia> Or at least, not into a search graph formalism
07:06:02 <sbp> you need it to be a standalone?
07:06:32 * sbp makes up appropriate sounding questions not really knowing what's going on
07:09:17 <Arnia> Ok. I'm trying to reduce first-order NAL to a search algorithm, where the inference rules are translated into expressions of what moves are allowed over the search space
07:09:32 <Arnia> This will make it more suitable for use in applications like search engines
07:10:03 <Arnia> Now, I can't right now see how to translate some of the rules
07:10:11 <Arnia> So I'm frustrated
07:10:26 <Arnia> Anyway, I'm going to go for a walk to clear my head
