Dearest Sudoers,
I've been writing a piece called "The Universal Empathy Machine: Nonviolent
Communication Explained with Mathematics and Computer Science"
<http://notconfusing.com/universal-empathy-machine/> <
http://notconfusing.com/universal-empathy-machine/>, and I'd be curious to
get your feedback on it because if you're on this list you're an exemplary
of my target audience. It's intended for the intersection of people who
love machines and logic, and care about good …
[View More]communication. Here's an
excerpt:
> 0. The Universal Empathy Machine
>
> Empathy is not sympathy. What’s the difference? Think of the Universal
> Turing Machine <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Turing_machine>.
> It is a machine that accepts a program and data, and runs that program on
> that data. In this way it can simulate all programs on all data. Let us
> think of a human as a program and human experience as data. *Sympathy
> then, is running your program on someone else’s data. Empathy is running
> their program on their data.* As you can see the results of the sympathy
> and empathy computations are not guaranteed to be identical. In a nutshell
> Nonviolent Communication is about becoming the Universal Empathy Machine,
> to be able to emulate the architecture of an arbitrary person given an
> arbitrary experience.

Make a great day,

Anyone available to help move some gear for CCL and Sudo Room this
afternoon? Do let me know as soon as possible if you have access to a truck
as well, otherwise I'll probably wind up having to rent a UHaul.
We'll be picking up a set of sturdy metal shelves, a spot welder, and
various boxes of electronic components in Hayward. We need to be *at* the
storage space in by 2pm, 77 Traynor Str. in Hayward.
Thanks!
Patrik
Howdy hackers,
My friend is looking for somebody to write a compiler in LLVM for his new
CPU architecture, which consists of a bunch of separate cored with their
own scratchpad memory and the ability to interact with each other. He
hasn't had luck poaching people from Google and such, but needs to get this
done by November for DARPA.
Are any of you interested in very funky computer architectures? If so I can
make the connection!
Cheers,
-Adam
the "m" word.. marketing! One of the coolest projects is SudoMesh. it's
hard to explain it, but once people find out what it is, they love it
I hacked an html5 template and put a landing page up here. feel free to
fork and modify
https://github.com/sudoroom/sudoMesh-Landing-Page
you can push out using the gh-pages branch and see the result here:

Hey all,
The Omni Door card-swipe system seems to be working at the moment. However,
be aware there might be an issue that resurfaces.
I came upon the front door system and it was not working. This was strange
because Marc was granting access to a gaggle of folks maybe an hour before.
The laptop was off, the switch was off, and all the cords were a tangled
mess. I re-built a new little shelf for the laptop/server, power strips,
switch, etc that are in the southeast corner of the front room of …

building. Everything is neatly organized, let's keep it that way!
The magnetic stripe card reader was giving me such guff! It really didn't
want to work, and I tested every single component to try to figure it out.
I swapped to a new USB hub with a power supply several times, but on my
last try it miraculously went from non-working to working. I have no idea
why.
I did, however, build a theory for the color code of the magnetic stripe
card reader:
- Red LED - power is on, problem with connection
- Yellow LED - power is on, no connection
- Green LED - power is on, connected
- UNLESS the green LED turns off after just one swipe, in which case:
- No light from LED - no power, possibly low power, or something else is
happening I can't explain.

Greetings all,
Are any Sudoers at defcon this year? I just got to lost vegas, and am prepping for the conference opening tomorrow. Would love to re-connect and share the experience with you.
please drop me a line if you find yourself here.
