Fwd: [eecs-grads] Course Announcement: CS294 Collaborative Intelligent Agents and the DARPA Spectrum Collaboration Challenge

by Mitar

Hi! I think this might be interesting to some. I would guess you can participate in the class even if you are not a student. Mitar -------- Forwarded Message -------- From: Anant SAHAI <sahai(a)eecs.berkeley.edu> Subject: [eecs-grads] Course Announcement: CS294 Collaborative Intelligent Agents and the DARPA Spectrum Collaboration Challenge To: eecs-grads(a)eecs.berkeley.edu, eecs-announce(a)eecs.berkeley.edu Dear EECS grad students, I'm offering a research-oriented 294 course this semester, it will be held MW 1-2:30pm in 310 Soda. Course Description: This research-oriented course is about bringing artificial intelligence techniques based on machine learning and adaptation to the problem of collaboration rather than competition. Can we make agents that collaborate with each other without such agents having to be co-designed from the start? (i.e. How can we learn to collaborate with strangers?) This is an emerging research frontier with many fundamental problems and in this course, we are going to get to the frontier and together, explore beyond it. The hope is that many of the course projects will evolve into research papers (or even dissertations if so desired). To make things concrete, we will use the new DARPA Spectrum Collaboration Challenge as an example problem domain. In the last decade, the DARPA challenges were instrumental in kicking self-driving car technology into high gear. This new challenge aims to do the same for collaborative intelligence. Berkeley was selected to field a team in this challenge. Students do not require a wireless background to participate, as we will do a quick pass through the basics of wireless communication and networking as a small part of this course. The course is open to a diverse set of backgrounds. In particular, students with a background in human computer interaction, game-theory, networking, or learning are particularly welcomed, but none of these are required background. If you have non-EECS friends that you think would be interested, they are welcome too. This is room-shared as a 194 and 294 pair. Consequently, for those graduate students who would like to do a group project involving an undergrad, this could be a fun way to do that. However, working with undergrads will not be required. -- http://mitar.tnode.com/ https://twitter.com/mitar_m

what do we do about the makenode server?

by Jake

as you all may have noticed, makenode.js doesn't work anymore apparently this is because the server it communicates with evaporated? so, this is a call for all people who know what to do about this problem to reply with information so that the problem can be dealt with. myself and papazoga are willing to work on it, or at least poke at it and try to improve documentation. my apologies if the information I seek is easily found and I just didn't know where to look. thank you -jake

Anyone want to get us one of these?

by Marc Juul

https://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/meraki/mr18 Very nice triple-radio unit and apparently OpenWRT compatible? Could be good for use in Omni. You can get one for free for participating in a webinar as explained on the OpenWRT page :) Someone up for it? -- marc/juul

Having trouble building the firmware

by Andrew Dollard

I'm getting these errors in config.log when I try to build: gcc version 5.4.0 20160609 (Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.4) configure:4307: $? = 0 configure:4296: gcc -V >&5 gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-V' gcc: fatal error: no input files compilation terminated. configure:4307: $? = 1 configure:4296: gcc -qversion >&5 gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-qversion' gcc: fatal error: no input files compilation terminated. configure:4307: $? = 1 configure:4327: checking whether the C compiler works configure:4349: gcc -O2 -I/home/andrew/sudowrt-firmware/built_firmware/builder.ar71xx/staging_dir/host/include -I/home/andrew/sudowrt-firmware/built_firmware/builder.ar71xx/staging_dir/host/usr/include -I/home/andrew/sudowrt-firmware/built_firmware/builder.ar71xx/staging_dir/host/include -I/home/andrew/sudowrt-firmware/built_firmware/builder.ar71xx/staging_dir/host/usr/include -L/home/andrew/sudowrt-firmware/built_firmware/builder.ar71xx/staging_dir/host/lib -L/home/andrew/sudowrt-firmware/built_firmware/builder.ar71xx/staging_dir/host/usr/lib conftest.c >&5 gcc: fatal error: -fuse-linker-plugin, but liblto_plugin.so not found compilation terminated. configure:4353: $? = 1 configure:4391: result: no liblto_plugin.so is on my system in the PATH, so I'm kinda stumped. Also not sure what's going on with the 'unrecognized command line option' errors. Earlier, it couldn't find the `cc1` binary, but I fixed that with a symlink. Not sure where I could add a symlink for this file, though. Any thoughts? I was able to build OpenWRT without a hitch, so I think the issue is in something SudoWRT is doing. Andy

[URGENT] Networking & web geeks needed at Standing Rock

by Jenny Ryan

Hi all, I've been working remotely with Lisha Sterling with Geeks Without Bounds, Digital Smoke Signals <https://www.facebook.com/DigitalSmokeSignals> and other orgs comprising the Tech Warrior Camp on the ground at Standing Rock. They completed their WiFi bridge to a nearby tribal-owned telecom on Saturday and so the camp now has internet, but they could use support building out an intranet mesh for ready access to Lakota educational materials, medical and legal info, camp-to-camp communications, and media storage. Nodes will be powered via a decentralized array of small solar / wind / bike power modules. The intention is to build out permanent and sustainable infrastructure at Standing Rock, to last well beyond the pipeline protest. If you can make it out there to help, or contribute to their fund to procure necessary equipmen <https://www.gofundme.com/waterissacred>t, please do! If you're in the Bay and can donate equipment, in particular OpenWRT-comptatible routers, bring them to Sudo Room ASAP and I will ensure they make it into one of the trucks heading out there this week. Read Lisha's post on internet @ Standing Rock: http://gwob.org/internet-at- standing-rock/ You can find more info on preparing for and being at Standing Rock, including Lisha's signal #, here: https://omnicommons.org/wiki/Standing_Rock_Resources Email me privately for more details on the network buildout phasing, current technical & environmental challenges, and line-of-site mapping.

HAM radio operators needed at Standing Rock ASAP

by Jenny Ryan

Greetings radio geeks, As you're probably aware, over 10,000 Native Americans and allies have converged at the Standing Rock reservation in South Dakota on the lands of the Great Sioux Nation in peaceful defense of the Missouri River, under which the Dakota Access Pipeline is poised to drill to complete the pipeline by January 1st. The main camp, Oceti Sakowin, received an eviction notice from the US Army Corps of Engineers on Friday, demanding the camp be cleared by December 5th - one day after a large planned action by Veterans for Standing Rock and a multi-faith prayer action scheduled for Dec. 4th. In a nutshell, Standing Rock needs you now more than ever! I've been helping how I can in communication with Lisha Sterling from Geeks Without Bounds, who's been working on communications infrastructure on the ground for the past several months. They recently finished a wifi bridge to the local tribal telecom, as well as successfully amplifying cellular 3G/4G reception. *I'm extending a callout for HAM radio operators at her request, who are willing to stand for the sovereignty of the Great Sioux Nation.* If you're an experienced HAM radio operator, or know folks who are, and willing to travel to Standing Rock to help with this critical infrastructure buildout, please contact Lisha (cc'd) at lisha AT gwob DOT org. Resources on Lakota values and culture, medical and legal info, what to bring, how to get there, and digital security tips can be found at https://omnicommons.org/wiki/Standing_Rock_Resources - if you fly, Lisha can help to arrange transport to the camp from the airport in Bismarck.

Update to Walkthrough doc

by Andrew Dollard

I was setting up a node with https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Mesh/WalkThrough on my Mac yesterday, and in addition to the listed binary dependencies, I had to `brew install gnu-tar`, as the system tar was creating incompatible packages. Can someone update the wiki page to help out other Mac users? Andy
