Morning Math Restated

by Thomas Fitzpatrick

If there are no objections, I'm reenstating Morning Math. I think a new name is in order and would like to field a couple - Math Gym, Visceral Mathematics, Romancing Methods... Sessions will start at 7:30 AM. I will be staying and holding up the torch until 11:30. Participants are free to come and go as the please between those times on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursday (no pressure to show up on all days, but I will be there) with the possibility of more days. All levels are welcome - there will always be something to do. The vision is that despite skill levels and relative experiences, we can all benefit from contact with each other as Mathematicians. My favorite learning environment is a boxing gym and I think that is where our social norms should be derived from. * Many different styles of boxing and training - trainers are free to take on students, students can go to new trainers, or you can have no trainer and get bits of advice from many people * People arriving and leaving at disparate times as opposed to Karate classes where everyone must arrive at the same time. The flow is mantained regardless. You tell your trainer you are arrived and start your warm-ups. When they are available they will teach you something or give you an exercise you are familiar with - coming around to check on you and correct your form. * All skill levels and levels of fitness - Hanger-ons, the elderly, novices, pros, trainers all derive social satisfaction. Everyone is free to improve at their own pace without being turned away from the sport. Bullying is not tolerated * Everyone is given the opportunity to teach - this advice is trusted based on their reputation - many views abound and the student is free to choose the styles and techniques they want to emulate. * Instruction is given and then the student is left to practice the motions - the memory is important - by they have to get a feel for it on their own. They can be corrected, but the trainer is also free to help other students. * Some routines are done in groups while others are done alone - most can be practiced in both contexts * The right exercises are chosen to get you to the next level. There is no set protocol for what you do each time. You are free to choose what you do next - though others may tell you better. * No one goes in the ring without a trainer watching (the analogy breaks down here) * Sparing is the most valuable experience as it builds your fight intuition. We predict punches - we don't react. It takes half a second for your brain to tell you to move - if you have to wait you will get hit. That is why you will often take it slow or only do defense or offense to trim your concerns. * The focus is learning. Preparing for your match. The primary question I have is how to teach Mathematics the way Music/Sports are? How do you teach intuition and problem solving? How do groups with disparate schedules and skill levels benefit the most from each other? I propose the following norms. (I will pare them down over time): * Agreements on reading materials/problems are between those you agreed to read with - not the entire group * You can come to as many or as few sessions as you please - there will always be something to do. (analogous problems) * Progress and minutes are prominently displayed to bring people up to speed without breaking the flow * Discussion groups form and disperse based on the creative process. * It is better to ask questions than to give others the solution when they are solving a problem. Empathize to give the right hint * It is better to try problems than to merely discuss, pencil must move over paper (or code across screen) - experience is more valuable than lectures. * Pictures are essential tools * Assisted/Group work is valuable for discovering the process, but the intuitive jump or connection is up to the student * Problems can be generalized, specialized or analogous problems chosen to keep everyone in the loop - to give and get insight as student and teacher. * The learning zone is right beyond your current abilities, but not so hard you have nothing to grasp onto. * Talent is overrated <http://www.amazon.com/Talent-Overrated-World-Class-Performers-EverybodyElse…> Here are some books I would personally like to study with anyone - in these time slots or otherwise. Suggestions are welcome :) # Good general Problems Delightful Puzzles <http://gurmeet.net/puzzles/> - Scroll to Bottom for other great lists - These are very accessible The Stanford Mathematics Problem Book <http://www.amazon.com/The-Stanford-Mathematics-Problem-Book/dp/0486469247/r…>- Has a hint key and an answer key! # Problem Solving Techniques How To Solve It <http://www.amazon.com/How-Solve-It-Mathematical-Princeton/dp/069111966X/ref…> Mathematics and Plausible Reasoning <http://www.amazon.com/Mathematics-Plausible-Reasoning-Patterns-Inference/dp…> # History of Math Mathematics and Its History <http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/144196052X/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8…> # Applied Mathematics Methods of Mathematics Applied to Calculus, Probability and Statistics <http://www.amazon.com/Methods-Mathematics-Calculus-Probability-Statistics/d…> Numerical Methods for Scientists and Engineers <http://www.amazon.com/Numerical-Methods-Scientists-Engineers-Mathematics/dp…> # Discrete Mathematics Concrete Mathematics <http://www.amazon.com/Concrete-Mathematics-Foundation-Computer-Science/dp/0…> There is interest in studying Visual Complex Analysis <http://www.amazon.com/Visual-Complex-Analysis-Tristan-Needham/dp/0198534469…>.

Fwd: Bryan Parker has invited you to First 700 Club Event

by Eddan Katz

Following the Sudo Room norms of transparency - a value I hold in high regard and try to practice to the best of my ability - I am forwarding the invitation I received below from the Bryan Parker 2014 Oakland mayoral race campaign. I have spoken with the campaign previously about the importance of tech policy to the future of economic development in downtown oakland. i have not contributed financially to the campaign - but feel comfortable sharing at this point that I am seriously considering supporting his candidacy. the fact that Bryan Parker made history by being the first candidate to crowdsource his initial fundraising seems like a significant acknowledgement and suggests to me an awareness of the power of peer production. they are interested in holding a roundtable discussion sometime within the next couple months on the subject of innovation and technology. i mentioned sudo room as a potential venue for this event and was planning on trying to move this discussion forward at the event tonight. it is my intention to make the case that oakland's edge could and should be openness and co-operation in the further development. i believe that there is a role municipal government can play in making this happen, in terms of both strategic investments and administrative regulations. > From: "Bryan Parker" <host(a)invite.pingg.com> > Subject: Bryan Parker has invited you to First 700 Club Event > Date: September 25, 2013 5:21:47 PM PDT > To: eddan <eddan(a)eddan.com> > Reply-To: Bryan Parker <usm(a)brightlineconsulting.com> > > > You have been invited by Bryan Parker to First 700 Club Event. > > > > > Dear Friends, > > It is with deep appreciation that I thank you for your generous support of my campaign for Mayor of Oakland 2014.

San Leandro Meet the CIO event report-back

by Eddan Katz

for those of you who weren't at the San Leandro Meet the CIO event on hackerspaces last month (https://www.eventbrite.com/event/6920335911), it was an awesome event that far exceeded my expectations. i learned a great deal from the experiences shared by Hacker Lab, NextSpace, and the Port Space representatives - I think there's a video up somewhere. Of all the things I took away from that evening, it seems most relevant to share what Joel of the Port Space was emphasizing, especially because of his background in real estate. Because of the new and different ways in which buildings related to hackerspaces are being used and managed, he said the worst mistake is to make enemies with your landlord. He repeated that the only way such a venture could succeed is if there is open communication and cooperation with the owners and flexibility in negotiations over lease terms. > From: "DAcosta" <DAcosta(a)sanleandro.org> > Subject: Summary of this morning's conference call for Meet the CIO event / Sept. 19th > Date: September 12, 2013 4:20:48 PM PDT > To: <mail(a)joelpool.net>, <erin(a)nextspace.us>, <eddan(a)eddan.com>, <eric(a)hackerlab.org> > Cc: <gina(a)hackerlab.org>, <michaelcarilli(a)aol.com> > > Team! > > Thanks again for everyone’s participation this morning. > > 1.

Erin / NextSpace > iii. Joel / The Port Space > iv. Eddan / Sudo Room > > We will provide the project setup for the presentations – all you need to bring is a flash drive. If you’ll need an internet connection, let me know ahead of time. > c. 6:15 to 6:30 – Audience Questions – some flexibility here, questions will probably go longer! > d. 6:30 to 7:00 p.m. – Networking and event end.

website & email hosting

by Eddan Katz

Dear Sudo folk. For reasons now increasingly obvious to me, I am in need of a new host for my domain eddan.com. I'd be willing to negotiate legal services in exchange for hosting my website and email. And thanks for all the offline emails. As always, I should have been clearer in what I wrote. I am still awaiting the bar results at the end of November. And no, I don't know why it takes that long. -Eddan

Fwd: [Double-Union] Hello DU friends! We have a space!

by Marina Kukso

news from double union, the new feminist hackerspace in sf. yay! ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Liz Henry <lizhenry(a)gmail.com> Date: Tue, Oct 1, 2013 at 2:15 PM Subject: [Double-Union] Hello DU friends! We have a space! To: "doubleunion(a)lists.doubleunion.org" <doubleunion(a)lists.doubleunion.org> We have a lease and some keys, and will be talking tonight about our next steps for Double Union! Here are some photos and my brief description of where we're at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/lizhenry/sets/72157636020454964/ http://www.doubleunion.org/blog/ The next few weeks will be for our move-in and buildout, developing good processes to manage the space, building access, and so on! Lots of you have asked how you can contribute or get involved at this stage and that may be in helping us move in and set up all our donated stuff. We are scrounging for bookshelves and sturdy tables especially. Expect an email asking for move-in help.... Or we may just have an open house time in a week or so for visitors. We don't have "hours" established yet, but very soon, like, tonight, all or most of the current members will have their keys. So if you would like to visit as a guest it will be possible once someone other than me has keys. Press and bloggers want to talk with us already. We are not quite ready to do that until there is more "there" there to talk about. Also, check this out! Our Resident Anarchobrarian, or Anarch-archivist, Rose, has started cataloguing our donated books on LibraryThing! https://www.librarything.com/profile/doubleunion Cheers, Liz YOUR FEMINIST HACKER SECRETARY -- Liz Henry lizhenry(a)gmail.com "Electric ladies will you sleep or will you preach?" -- Janelle Monae "Without models, it's hard to work; without a context, difficult to evaluate; without peers, nearly impossible to speak." -- Joanna Russ _______________________________________________ Doubleunion mailing list Doubleunion(a)lists.doubleunion.org http://lists.doubleunion.org/listinfo.cgi/doubleunion-doubleunion.org

UC Berkeley Student plan field trip to Sudo Room, ask for hackers to give them 'real' education

by Max Klein

Hell Holy Kopimists and Sudoers, A group of self-organized students from UC Berkeley want to Visit Sudo Room on October 14th 5pm to take theory into praxis. Their student-run class is "Politics of Digital Piracy" . https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_Program:University_of_California,_B… They are asking if someone would like to take point on peer-teaching one of the following topics to the insatiable and impressionable minds of the hackcers-to-be. As far as volunteers go, I think if would be cool if someone: > a.) did a hands-on workshop setting up Thunderbird, enigmail, and explain > a bit about encryption/decryption, pgp and private keys ect. > > b.) setting up tor. Despite its recent cracks, there have been students > that have expressed interest in using Tor. > > c.) talk about the hack culture, and what kind of things sudoroom does. > > Let me know if you think this is doable. Should be fun. Also, bringing a > group from the Open Computing Facility as well. > Please reply all so that our organizer Angelica can be part of the conversation or reply to her directly. Gratutiously yours, Max ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Angelica Tavella <angelicatavella(a)gmail.com> Date: 30 September 2013 08:32 Subject: Re: September updates To: Max Klein <isalix(a)gmail.com> Cc: Matthew Senate <mattsenate(a)gmail.com> Great. So here is a link to the class wiki page (yes, we're still using your implementation of the WMF Education Program). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_Program:University_of_California,_B… The topics we have covered so far are copyright law, privacy and surveillance, hack culture, and are moving on to peer to peer networks this week. The week of Oct 14 (the proposed evening), we will just be presenting midterm projects, so I think the learning objective of our trip to sudoroom could be related to any of our covered topics so far. As far as volunteers go, I think if would be cool if someone: a.) did a hands-on workshop setting up Thunderbird, enigmail, and explain a bit about encryption/decryption, pgp and private keys ect. b.) setting up tor. Despite its recent cracks, there have been students that have expressed interest in using Tor. c.) talk about the hack culture, and what kind of things sudoroom does. Let me know if you think this is doable. Should be fun. Also, bringing a group from the Open Computing Facility as well. -Ang

Re: [sudo-discuss] Fwd: The Omni

by Liberty Madison

I am hoping we continue to occupy the current location under more favorable terms. The access to not only BART, but city government, assemblies, events, community is appealing.

Im sad i missed the joint meeting with CCL re: moving in - we definitely need more meatspace strategizing on making a 3-way move like that happen - I'm really happy that marina and y'all are checking out the Omni and other potential spaces - I'm going to start looking pretty hard and get BAPSers in on this too - sounds like a guesstimated combo sudo/baps/ccl monthly budget would be ~$4500, does that seem about right? Re: SUDO moving into the Omni, it sounds super cool and personally I have no problem with the location - but I do think if there are ppl living in the space, that might make it challenging - conversely if there are lots of loud shows there, that might make having a class tough? And more or less importantly.. are there windows in the Omni space? It's be great if whatever space SUDO moved to had more natural light..

While the details on what a co-op purchase would look like still have to be hammered out in detail, it was my understanding from George that he was interested in an arrangement that would include selling off equity in that portion. Different organizations would put up money in their collective shares and that wing would be organized as a co-op with the different organizational/individual owners taking part in the decision-making of managing the building.

I was hoping someone could fill me in on what is really meant by deciding we are officially 'terminating the lease' in Dec. ? Does it mean we are definitely out of 2141 come Jan., ie, we definitely dont want to stay at 2141? Has that been decided? Or, would we have the opportunity to negotiate a new/better lease if we did decide to keep on at 2141? Re: a co-op purchase of part of 2141, what are the brass tacks of that exactly? I..e, do we have however many tens of thousands I imagine we would need for most mortgage downpayments? Is there some angel investor here I dunno about? Along the same lines what are our real-world options with respect buying the church, or part of the Omni? Or are we just talking about renting part of the omni? Personally, I'd prefer to move, but move with BAPS, SUDO, and CCL. It kind of seems like maybe we should find a good place to move to, and understand what our combined budget is. if SUDO moves out without BAPS that would suck for BAPS and also mean that SUDO would probably get a smaller space than we would get if we combined forces, synchronized, and all moved somewhere together (or mayber stayed at 2141 together, under more amenable conditions). Staying together being the operative word to me here.. Best.

If Sudo room moves up to the Berkeley Border, it would make sense to join with Ace Monster Toys. Also, in my opinion that is way too far from Bart, and way too far from where I live, so I would probably not ever go there. Sounds like an interesting space though, and that is a better neighborhood than where AMT is now. Maybe they would be interested in this space? Tracy It's 1.4 mi away, which is relatively close, though not a super convenient walking distance. However they are looking for bigger cheaper spaces (minimum 3000 sq ft, and at most $1/sqft), so I'm not sure this would work. Also they have a requirement that anything over 2500sqft MUST have overhead sprinklers. That combined with the noise constraints might be an issue, since AMT has lots of big noisy toys (large CNC router tables, laser cutters, power saws, etc) _______________________________________________ sudo-discuss mailing list sudo-discuss(a)lists.sudoroom.org

Hi! I'm new to Oakland/SudoRoom, so this may be the completely wrong place to ask this... but can anyone recommend a good electrician to run phone cables? Ideally one who is available on the weekends? Zee

Re: [sudo-discuss] [spaghettinight] Buying Greater Galilee Church in West Oakland - Viewing Tuesday 8pm

by Morten H. D. Fuglsang

Yes, the building itself is certainly not worth a lot/if anything. It was built by one of the founders of that specific church, some 4-7 decades ago. One of the churchgoers' fathers I believe. But hey! with some creativity, skill and hard work anything is possible, and building new dwelling(s) doesn't necessarily have to be a 2 year project. Might even be possible to get for less than 400k. Make a great day, Morten H. D.

Buying Greater Galilee Church in West Oakland - Viewing Tuesday 8pm

by Max Klein

Hello All, ==What?== There is a church that has gone bankrupt, and their property is for sale. 2439 Adeline Street Oakland, CA 94607 The appraisal value is $500k, but it is not on the market yet. (Appraisal pdf attached). So my feeling is that we can make an offer for somewhere around $400k if we organize quickly. There are some pictures in the appraisal PDF. I have set up an appointment to View the church at 8pm on Tuesday 1st October. I'm inviting you to come see if you want. ==Communal Buying== There are several ways to buy the property. I am intrigued by a multi-buyer shared-equity approach. Where everybody that pays not necessarily equal amounts, owns equity in not necessarily equal amounts. There has also been an offer of lender financing if we put $178k down. I am open to creative solutions. ==Potential Uses== Currently it is zoned "CIX" commercial-industrial mix. That means that officially you can only use one-third of the space for living. If we were to get a mortgage we would need a business license. Of course thought once you own it, there isn't zoning police that check what you do with it. So we could make this into housing, hostel, a venue, keep it a church, have a tiny house village on the back bit. Again I am open to creative solutions. ==Get in touch== If you want to come to the viewing, please email or call me (7074787023).

Tomorrow (Saturday) 2 PM: An algorithmic tour of the brain

by Anthony Di Franco

Tomorrow if you join us you might be saying Today I Learned cool things about brain-inspired algorithms, and then had fun with PyBrain<http://pybrain.org/>afterwards. Jointly with Counter Culture labs, this: Study of the brain has inspired algorithms that seek to emulate how it functions for as long as practical computers have existed with which to try these algorithms out. We'll look at some of the most notable of these and find out how our understanding of the brain has given us powerful tools to solve difficult problems. Get a better handle on your noggin and how it might work with an algorithmic tour of the brain. · Cerebellum ― Cerebellar Model Articulation Controller · Cortex ― Perceptrons, Liquid State Networks, Long Short-Term Memory · Hippocampus ― Hopfield network · Thalamus ― Scale-free network Integrated systems ― Miikkulainen's DISCERN & artificial schizophrenia experiments · Tools & future directions Experience as a brain owner is all that is required! We'll start at a conceptual level suitable for the curious layperson and go deeper into the technical details according to your interests. http://www.meetup.com/Counter-Culture-Labs/events/140945552/
